Is the problem with total deterministic use an accessibility issue or just an issue with the application?

I wouldn't judge Apple too harshly based on how much effort they put into making an application running on a competitors platform accessible. They do this to sell more iPhones and not to help more people buy PC's. I know many don't agree with me, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple stops supporting iTunes on the PC altogether. You don't need iTunes nearly as much as you used to to use your iPhone. Furthermore, you could always just buy a Mac, and I think people will be making their laptop/desktop choices more on how they interact with their other devices than the other way around.

I have to agree with Simon on this; I find iTunes terribly inaccessible in the matter of total deterministic use. That is, I cannot fully control what iTunes is doing to my iPhone 5. As a result, I end up with several instances of contact individual records appearing on my iPhone and similar such annoyances. But then, of course, I am running an outdated version of JAWS (10.???) and am using Windows Vista as my OS. I would hope that is the root cause of the iTunes inaccessibility because I find Apple to be very responsive to the special needs of the VIP community.

    I would beg to disagree, as there are a number of things I haven't
    been able to get poxy iTunes to do. the main one being getting it
    to transfer what I want from my pc to my Iphone, with out it
    wanting to spend ages doing other stuff that I don't want it to do
    as well. it has given me no end of aggravation!

        Hi Neil and Cheryl,

        There is no way to get music or other content on the iPhone
        without jailbreaking. Yes, you can put music into a Dropbox
        folder and the Dropbox app will actually play music files or
        there are any number of apps which might do so and which you
        can use to play music.

        Personally I would advise your friend to deal with iTunes if
        she wants to get the most out of her iPhone or other iDevice.
        I think there are still people who have this perceived fear of
        iTunes and that it’s not very accessible whereas in fact it is
        very accessible and just a matter of learning. I sometimes
        wonder about all the hoops people jump through to do something
        which would be much easier with iTunes.

        Regards,

        Sieghard

        vlc does this and I think it also plays from dropbox directly
        but I think you can only then play one song at a time rather
        than continuously and I have also had some crashing problems
        but more with uploaded music than with playing from dropbox
        directly.

        btw vlc will also upload files from your computer by wifi but
        it is these files I have had some problems with.

            OK, it’s a slightly different question. I don’t think
            there is a way to directly do this from drop box, but
            someone can correct me if there is. The person who asked
            me does not want to use iTunes. So, she would be happy to
            have an accessible app to copy these files from drop box
            to her iPhone if such an animal exists.

            Thanks for any help.
