George,
Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed? It's 9.2. Have you tried launching iTunes and then plugging in the iPod Touch to see if iTunes will recognize it? Strangely enough, I sometimes get a dialog pop up when I plug in my iPod Touch that calls it a camera. Strange, because it doesn't have a camera, just the iPhone roots of the iPod software showing up I guess.

If I may jump in here?

I've plugged an IPOD Touch in my XP System the other day (after having been
told that ITUNES will automatically pop up) expecting to sign onto ITUNES,
etc., but nothing really ever occurred.

My XP recognized the device as an Apple device, but only gave me a single
folder of photos.

Any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Christopher,
You might want to go to

http://www.accessibleworld.org/category/site-categories/tek-talk-archives

and listen to Brian Hartgen, the author of the J-Tunes scripts, talk about
iTunes and JAWS 11.  You will need to go down to the Tek Talk Archives
heading on the page and select the link that takes you to the second page of

the archives. It's the February 8 2010 presentation. As I recall, he gives

some nice navigation tips that don't involve his J-Tunes scripts.

When Brian first wrote his scripts in 2005, there was no other way to access

iTunes and the iTunes Store except with his scripts. Since I didn't want to

use iTunes to organize my music, I wasn't interested in J-Tunes, and I
thought the price was too high.  Now that iTunes and the iTunes Store are
more accessible with JAWS and other Screen readers, and I use iTunes to feed

my iPod Touch, I can use iTunes to do what I need to do, and I still think
the price of the scripts is too high.

The J-Tunes scripts add a lot of convenience to the use of iTunes and have a

lot of built-in Help. It's up to you whether you want to pay the price for
this convenience and Help.

Now that Apple and FS have made ITunes really fairly accessible, I'm
wondering if anyone can tell me if the JTunes scripts are still beneficial

and worth the purchase and a little bit about why or why not.  Thanks!
