Downloading to iTunes on my pc

Okay, I already asked this question, and received an answer that should work, but apparently I included insufficient information, so this is an update.  And I'd put it with the original question, but every time I try to it tells me to login, and when I do the darn thing won't put me back to where I was.
My original question:
So, I'm on my laptop this morning, checking out my emails, and here are my BookBub bargains for Tuesday.  Normally there's a free book for Kindle, and I'll just click on it, tell Amazon I want to buy it with One Click, and it'll ask me which computer I want to download it to.  (And, BTW, if you like to read, sign up for BookBub.  And check out Project Gutenberg and librivox.org.  But forget the librivox app for iPad; it doesn't work.  Download from your desktop or laptop and sync it to iTunes.)
But this morning I found one for iTunes.  When I clicked on it, it determined that I have a PC, and told me I needed to download iTunes.  I have iTunes.  Do I have to go to iTunes to download it?  If I check out this email on my iPad and click on it, will it download to the right place?  (I've had problems trying to download things before that just kinda disappeared [that was a librivox book, and I was in Safari], presumably while still taking up space in memory.)
Thanks, guys.  MargretRose

No if you already have iTunes you don't need to download it again to download any of the free offers from the iTunes Store. Depending on your browser you may need to install an extension in order for product links in your browser to automatically open iTunes, and then open the iTunes Store at the correct page. Alternatively you can open iTunes yourself, such promotions are normally visible from the front page of the iTunes Store.
Note that iBooks cannot be opened directly on your Windows PC but need the iBooks app on an iOS device or Mac computer.

Further information:
I'm using Mozilla WaterFox, current version (30.0).  I searched all addons and plugins, for iTunes, and mostly found stuff about downloading things from YouTube.
Yes, I do know that iBooks can't be opened directly on my PC, I plan to open it on my iPad.  But it'd still be nice to be able to click it in my email, on my PC, and then install it on the iPad only when I'm ready to read it.  And I still don't know whether it's safe to click it from the same email on my iPad.  And I shouldn't have to do something round about like going to the i'Tunes store to search for something that I know is there, which is why I'd rather click on the email link

Thank you very much.  I clicked on it on the iPad, read it (very short -- a children's book -- yeah, I know; I happen to like kid's books), and deleted it.  Now it'll show up in iTunes on the laptop, and I'll have to delete it there as well, but this is not really a problem.  I have a whole bunch of things I need to delete, both there and on my iPad, because they're taking up way too much space, and I'd rather add them one at a time as I'm ready for them (mostly audio books -- I got a whole bunch of them for free a while back, and iTunes found the whole lot and automatically imported them, of course).
Thanks for your help.  I'll be back, probably frequently, because I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing on the iPad, but I'm working on that.  (BTW, I notice that this time when I viewed your message and clicked on login, it left me on the same page after login -- don't know what the difference was there.)

  • Songs downloaded from itunes not playing on ipod

    Hi, maybe someone can help me. Recently I noticed that the songs I have downloaded from itunes are not playing on my ipod. They are working fine on my computer. As far as I know all my software is up to date and I even tried backing up my files and restoring my ipod, and the songs from itunes are still not playing. Is there something else I can do?

    I couldn't get downloads from iTunes to be on the desktop of my Macbook air but they remain in iTunes folder and refuse to open for use. What am I to do?

    Downloads of what?  Songs?  Apps?  Books?
    If you're talking about apps, then you have downloaded iOS apps which are intended to run on an iPhone or iPad, not a Mac.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • I am using an iphone 3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.

    HEY GUYS I AM USING AN IPHONE  3g and when i connect my device to my laptop a dialog box appears saying that an update of 4.2 is available so went for it.after the firmware is downloaded via itunes it shows that the firmware is invalid!.please help.
    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

  • I downloaded latest itunes 12 now when i try to open itunes i get error message 7 with ( windows error 5 ) I have latest windows framework. Help me please !

    Take the unpacked components of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file and move them to the root of drive C:. Try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe which drives the original installer, or iCloud.msi unless you have Vista). You may get a more useful error message regarding any problems during the install.

    You can triple-click a line to select all of it, then press Ctrl+C to copy, switch to the command box and click the icon at the top left of the window to access the paste menu.  Which components you have depends on whether you've unpacked the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer.
    The log files might provide further clues as to what is going wrong.

    You should be able to extract the media from the device with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new machine but I've not had cause to personally test the method.
