Hi Tom,
Control+S is the command to “Show Sidebar”, you can also go to the View menu
with Alt+V and arrow down to where it says Show Sidebar, then press enter. If
you go to the View menu and it says “Hide Sidebar” then you already have the
sidebar visible and if you do a Control+S it will hide it, the shortcut key is
a toggle.
It is easiest to use F6 to find the sidebar, once youa re on it, Jaws will say
“Sources Tree View”.
I actually prefer now not to show the sidebar. If I want to change from the
music library to the books library or the apps library I either use the
shortcuts, Control+1 for music, Control+2 for movies, Control+3 for TV Shows,
Control+6 for Books and Control+7 for Apps.
Control+4 and Control+5 don’t do anything in my setup and if you, for example,
uncheck Movies in the Preferences, Control+2 will not do anything.
Another way to navigate to those areas is to use Control+Shift+F to jump into
the “Search Library” edit field, then tab twice and you are on Music if your
music library is what has focus. Press enter or space and a treeview opens
where you can now arrow down to movies, Books, Apps etc.
I never thought of iTunes as all that bad and I like iTunes 11 even better
since it seems to be somewhat faster and more efficient. However, I believe
Jaws 14 definitely will give you the best performance and, if you haven’t done
so already, I highly recommend you listen to the December and January FS Casts
Jonathan did. His 2-part series on iTunes 11 with Jaws 14 definitely helps in
understanding iTunes and how to make the best of it. You can find the podcasts
on the Freedom Scientific website under FS Casts.
As for your girl-friends iPhone not showing up, I can’t explain it, if I enable
the sidebar and connect my iPhone it shows up under Devices as it always has.
If I hide the sidebar which, as I said before, I prefer, I find the “iPhone”
button as follows:
I press Control+Shift+F to go to the Search Library edit field.
I press F6 once to jump to the first drop-down list of the column browser which
is Genre. Of course that assumes you have the column browser enabled.
I then Shift+Tab twice and I’m on the “iPhone” button, enter or space will
activate it.
I then have all the usual buttons like Summary, Info, Apps, Tones etc. which I
can check to manage the various sync aspects of iTunes with my iPhone.
The column browser, by the way, can only be enabled if you check the “Songs”
button, it is greyed out if artists, albums or genres are selected.
Hope this helps,
Sieghard

Subject: ITunes Questions
Hi,
I'm going to preface my post by saying that I really hate ITunes with a purple
passion and think that it's a royal pain in the behind. Be that as it may, I
realize that I have to put up with it, so, toward that end, I have some
questions.
My girlfriend and I both have ITunes version 11.something-or-other on our
computers and we can't seem to get to the sources tree view consistently and
easily. Is there a keyboard command that will consistently make it visible and
bring focus to it?
Second, on my Windows XP machine, I can see my iPhone 4 listed in the sources
tree view when it's connected. On my girlfriend's machine running Windows 7,
however, even though her iPhone 4 is connected and it syncs, the phone is not
visible in the sources tree view. Why is that and how can we fix the problem.
Both of our iPhone 4's are running IOS 6.1.2.
There are other issues regarding her ITunes library, but I won't get into those
right now.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
