can i use itunes on linux ....how

Yes, although not natively. You can install iTunes under the Wine framework (see http://www.junauza.com/2010/07/how-to-install-itunes-on-ubuntu-linux.html). Wine allows Linux to run Windows applications by doing a  translation of Windows APIs to the equivalent Linux system calls.
You could also install a Windows Virtual Box using VMWare or Virtual Box, and then install iTunes in the VM.

  • Can you use itunes with Linux computer?

    Im using Ubuntu, a linux based operating system and would like to still use itunes. Is this possible?

    No. It has never been migrated to Linux.
    With the current market share that Linux has, I seriously doubt that it will ever be migrated to that platform.

  • How do I enter an itunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC?

    How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either.  Am I out of luck?

    As I noted in the other thread:
    There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
    The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
    While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
    Does that clarify matters somewhat?

  • My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

    My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad.  I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
    My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
    What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without lossing all my music?

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

    Follow the instructions in this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

  • HT204081 Can i use itunes giftcards to purchase ibooks?  If so, how?

    Can i use itunes giftcards to purchase ibooks?  If so, how?

    Hi Mystere,
    Click on the iBooks app, select Store, and then either search for the book you want or browse the store. You should be able to then purchase a book, and your iTunes credit should be applied first (like any iTunes purchase that has a gift card credit).
    Cheers,

  • HT201209 Can you use iTunes cards to purchase items in a game such as gems for Clash of Clans-if so how? Help please!

    Can you use iTunes cards to purchase items in a game such as gems for Clash of Clans-if so how? Help please!

    You can, if you have a balance on your account and it covers the amount of the IAP that you want to buy then it should be automatically used for the purchase - if it doesn't cover the IAP price then any remainder will be charged to your credit card.

  • Can I Use iTunes Store without Storing Bank Accounts, etc, in my Profile?

    Hi
    Today a fraudulent charge of $89.99 appeared on my iTunes account. This suggests that a hacker has obtained my password, and hence access to all information in my iTunes account, including credit card or Paypal account information. I can deal with having to claim refunds for fraudulent iTunes purchases, but I cannot afford to risk ID Theft, or to have my back account information in the possession of hackers.
    (1) Is it possible to maintain an iTunes account that does not store bank accounts, and ideally stores no personal information other than my email address?
    (2) If I can do this, I assume I'd then have to enter that information for each purchase. Will this information be expunged once the ourchase is complete? Or would it remain on the system in some form, accessible to hackers?
    (3) If (1) is not possible, how do I cancel my iTunes account? There does not seem to be such an option on the iTunes Account Management screens.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    You can remove your credit card from your account. Go into the account, click "Edit payment information" and you will see the option under credit card to click "None."
    For purchasing, you can either enter the card info per transaction, or you can start using iTunes gift cards which are readily available.

  • My iPad is in a boot loop. Can't use itunes.

    Today my iPad went into a boot loop. I don't know the cause as I wasn't in at the time but it's possible one of the kids tried to update or something, however I just don't know.
    The screen blinks from the apple logo to the lockscreen and is totally unresponsive. The only time it is in any way responsive is immediately after a reset after which I can swipe to unlock, enter my pin, and see the home screen for about 1 second, then the boot loop begins and it is unresponsive.
    I can't use itunes to restore. When I connect to iTunes it asks if I want to use the computer to manage the iPad (it's never asked me this before). After I click continue I get a message telling me to respond on the iPad. I can't because it's in a boot loop and unresponsive. Even if I try connecting to itunes after a reset I can only get as far as the homescreen, where I can see the option to "trust" my computer but cannot actually press it. Then the boot loop begins.
    I've tried connecting to itunes while pressing the home button but that doesn't work either.
    What other options do I have?

    Hi J_Constantine,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPad is restarting and not responding sporadically. You have already attempted some great troubleshooting steps and I think you are on the right track. Holding the home button is one step that you take while placing your device in recovery mode to restore. This is the method that I would suggest to restore. For complete information on how to place your device into recovery mode, please reference the attached article. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Best regards,
    Joe
