Hi Marco,

 

What does rolling back updates have to do with iTunes 11? You can reinstall
a previous version of any app as long as you make a copy of said app and
that is the same in iTunes 10 or iTunes 11. If I am uncertain whether an
update like, for example, Skype this morning, works well, I just go to my
Mobile Apps folder in iTunes Media, I go to the app in question, press
Control+C and Control+V which creates a second copy of the app. Then I
update the app and, if for some reason I want to go back, I just delete the
non-copy of the app from both my iPhone and my iTunes library, then I rename
the copy of the app to what the regular version is and sync my iPhone. This
will put the old version back.

 

As far as loading times are concerned, on my Windows 7 64 Bit laptop with an
I5 processor and 6 Gb of RAM iTunes 11 launches from nothing in 3 to 4
seconds which is a lot faster than how long iTunes 10 used to take. Once you
get used to iTunes 11 there isn't much you can't do just as efficiently.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I just hate how apple doesn't allow for the rolling back of an update if one
discovers that the new update is not working for them. This is one of my
reasons for holding off on itunes 11.  Having used itunes 10.6 on a xp
machine i can honestly say that the itunes 10 running on a 64 bit windows 7
computer is super fast and i don't think that the new itunes will be any
faster and besides, how much easier then having itunes launching in about 10
seconds and it opening up right in the list view. It sounds like itunes 11
has a lot more keystrokes to do before one can get to doing work.

Hi marco,

 

Everything is in fact just as easy to find in iTunes 11, but it's different
and involves a bit of a learning curve. The old and familiar is always what
some people prefer even if the new is better and there is no doubt that
iTunes 11 is faster and now that I have gotten used to it and figured out
all the shortcuts, I actually like how Apple has redesigned it.

 

I should, however, say that in the very latest iTunes 11 update a few bugs
have crept in, one of them being the one about not being able to sync
selected audio books. I mostly listen to my Audio Books with Audible, but
for some this could be a big issue and hopefully it is something either
Apple or Freedom Scientific will fix. It would be interesting to see if
somebody who uses Window Eyes experiences the same problem and I will maybe
try it tonight with System Access to Go.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

I am glad i haven't upgraded my itunes yet on my windows 7 machine.
Everything is so easy to find in itunes 10.6 that i will hold off on my
upgrade. The latest and greatest thing is not always as great as advertised.

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
