Hey Robert, I experimented with some things in itunes and figured out how to 
turn off automatic syncing of contacts.  I really like the fact that Apple has 
tried their very best to make itunes more accessible to the visually impaired, 
but in the process of making it more accessible, they have made it very time 
consuming to do certain tasks.  I also noticed that JAWS misreads some of the 
menu options when you are tabbing around in the device section of itunes.  Go 
figure! First, you will want to go to the iPhone device.  After that, you will 
be using the tab key quite a bit (haven't found an easier way to get around 
this). The first time you will push tab, JAWS will say "Button Summery Radio 
Button Checked".  Ignore the fact that JAWS refers to this as a radio button, 
because it is not a radio button.  It is a menu in a tab.  There are 9 menu 
tabs:  Summary, Info, Apps, Ringtones, etc.  When JAWS tells you that the radio 
button is checked for any of those "tabs" then the optio

 ns for that tab is visible underneath the list of tabs (visually).  The only 
way to get to those options are to tab through the whole list of tabs.  I 
haven't figured out how to bipass this process. To turn off automatic syncing 
of contacts, make sure that you are on the Info tab and that JAWS reads "Button 
Info Radio Button Checked".  If it is not checked, just press space to show the 
options for that tabbed menu.  It won't tell you that the button is checked.  
Tab around until you here JAWS say "Sync Contacts With Checkbox Checked" and 
press spacebar to uncheck it.  This is an actual checkbox.  If you would like 
to sync your contacts, just press tab again and select which type of email 
client you would like to sync with your phone.  You can also unsync calendars 
by tabbing once again. I don't think you have to press an ok button or anything 
to save your changes.  I hope this helps.  I know it is very confusing; it is 
too me still!Thanks.  Bret Kroeker
