Do I need Safari for itunes?

Am looking to free up some memory for my lap-top and noticed that safari takes up a sizeable chunk. I primarily use firefox for all internet activities but was wondering if safari was crucial in terms of watching movies/tv shows purchased from itunes.
Please excuse any ignorance in advance.

No, you don't need it.

  • Need Safari  for iTunes Store to work, but Safari will not update properly.

    I recently did all my software updates (as updated as i could be on a Powerbook G4), and as I'm trying to access the iTunes store, I can't. I get the message that the latest Safari update needs to be completed. So I go through the update process again for Safari, and I get the message that I don't have the appropriate access to complete the update package. So, I can't update Safari, therefore I can't get into the iTunes store. Does anyone have a solution??

    this is the Actual message that i get.
    the update "Safari" cannot be saved.
    You do not have appropriate access privileges.
    The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.

  • Inadvertantly uninstalled bonjour it appears that i need it for itunes

    I have inadvertently uninstalled bonjour it appears that I need it for iTunes and I don't really want to uninstall iTunes and reinstall in case I lose my music etc

    Here's a guide that tell you how to. Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    I do wonder why you would want to uninstall Bonjour, I can't think of a way why its installation would bother you. iTunes installs Bonjour for a reason.

  • Windows Media Player is ******* me off...Need help for iTunes

    Ok, so recently my computer went haywire on me, and I had to start from scratch by basically wiping the HD and now installing Windows Vista (I used to have XP). I did back up all my songs on my external before hand.
    So now that everything SHOULD be up and running, I transferred all my songs back to my C:\.
    Yet...now when I go to "play all" (in order for iTunes to reference them), it says "Play All with Windows Media Player" and WMP thinks it has the rights to all the song files. I use iTunes for everything and I can't find the option part on either software to make iTunes the primary again.
    I used to be an IT major...
    Now I think that's in the past...lol.
    I need help. Who knows how to fix it?
    (Oh, and if you know a way to get them all to register instead of me going by artist by cd to play, that'd be appreciated too! :D)

    This article tells you how to set itunes as the default media player in Vista.

    To get them all in your itunes library, drag the top-level music folder over from Win Explorer to the itunes window. You don't need to add things one-by-one!
    Alterantivly, you can use itunes menu > File > Add folder to library and do the same thing.

    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Need Help for Itunes and quicktime

    Hi there,
    I just formated my computer and my os is windows 2003 server. When I installed itunes, everything is fine however when I installed quicktime I got an error code : -3. What's going on? and after I done with the installation, I couldn't open an itunes as well I got an error message said : The exception Privileged instruction. (0xc0000096) occurred in the application at location 0x7ca2af84. I don't know what happened I did install itunes and quick time under windows 2003 before and it works fine, but now I got an error. I appreciate the answer, Thanks in advance.

    by any chance, did you try downloading the QT Player
    from the "QuickTime 7.1 with iTunes 6 for Windows
    2000/XP" link on the QT download page? that one
    actually leads to an itunes/QT installer bundle.
    I did it this way
    let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone
    installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install
    from there rather than online.) switch off
    antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the
    install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes
    launch properly again?
    I did like you said and I can not even uninstall quicktime from my computer. When I double click the installation package: It shows
    Unhandled Exception
    Error Number : 0x80040707
    Description : DLL function call crashed : QTInstallCode.QuickTimeUninstallProc
    Setup will now terminate
    Also, itunes does not launch properly. I think there is something wrong because when I install the windows from the cd I can install and run these two programs(itunes and quicktime). They work fine and no problem at all. However, after I update windows by using windows update web site, I couldn't use these programs since then. I have no idea what is going on? Before I reinstall my os, I also use windows server 2003 with sp1 and I could run these two programs. I think may be the new version of itunes and quicktime that they put on the web site have some issues with the windows server 2003, not sure about that.
    Thanks.
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone
    reinstall, let us know what it says. include error
    message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b

    If you aren't doing any heavy duty photo editing
    the base model should work just fine.  I would suggest
    that if you go with the base model, bump the RAM
    up to at least 4gig, but get it at Newegg or direct from
    Crucial or Kingston, it will be way cheaper.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.
