Hello,

First of all: JAWS 6 is not compaddible with iTunes.
I suggest getting a JAWS 10 or 11 demonstration copy for this purpose.

Second of all: You do need to register your iPod and to registre your iPod with Apple (to ensure you receive support, warranties, Apple Care agreements that you purchased during the checkout process of your iPod player, etc). To do this, you will either need a previously active account with the iTunes store, or an Apple store account. Each is interchangeable. If you purchased your player online from Apple, you probably made an account to purchase said iPod. Use that information if you already have an account. If not, I can't find the link right now, but you can always
Google "Make an apple store account"
It may ask for your credit card; this is for iTunes and App store purchases.
Do not worry it will not charge your credit card unless you buy a track, or a movie, etc, from the iTunes store.

To sync your iPod shuffle with the latest iTunes version, without having to use the innaccessible features (tabbing around the GUI/window, etc), do the following:

• Open the iTunes program.

• Press alt and hit down arrow to pull down the file menu.

• Now hit y, for "Sync (The name of your iPod goes here)

Note your iPod MUST be connected for this to work.

Hope this helps.
