Hi! Sorry Neal I do not understand why you think iTunes12 is not accessible! Unless your talking about the windows version! On the Mac iTunes12 is fully accessible but people have not liked the new layout and have found it a bit tricky to get used to! But everything is labeled and there are key strokes to move from say Music to others like Apps or Tones! And because of other posts those commands [with a different key] are available in the Windows version as well! On the Mac Command+any of the numbers 1 through 9 and 0 takes you to one of the options and on Windows i believe its the control key with any of the numbers! But the bottom line is that iTunes12 is accessible! If you do not like how it works or the layout thats a different! HTH Colin
