Ian,
 
I don't know if you saw my earlier message, but I had the same difficulties
as you're having, and the only way I could get it done was with sighted
help.  As was mentioned earlier, someone has to take the mouse and click it
over the field to get a typing cursor.  then, when you do enter the number,
type all 11 digits without spaces.  My sighted wife and I got confused
because on the back of the IPod the serial number had a space somewhere in
there, and when we typed that space the final digit of the serial number did
not get entered.  I'm sure that if you can in fact get sighted help and
remember to type all 11 digits together you will succeed.

Well, I am on the point of giving up. I have tried everything and even had
help but still cannot get that serial number entered. All I can get it to do
is go back to the licence screen. I am amazed that in these dayys of
disability access, a mass marketing company should be allowed to get away
with anything as patently inaccessible. So much for the much-trumpeted power
of the ADDA. At least the Book Courier is accessible in its setup program.
How do I get that serial number entered?
 
Iain.
