How about Itunes for Linux?

Please can someone tell me when a version for Linux will be released? With Microsoft making a total mess of Windows, we have been installing many Ubuntu Linux clients but they are complaining that there is no Apple support within Linux. There is not even an Apple-Linux community forum to which The growing number of Linux users can turn. So What is the story here chaps? When will the ITunes client be ported to Linux?

I don't believe Apple will ever release a version for Linux.
However you could consider CrossOver for Linux and then running iTunes for Windows via that. This is from Apple's point of view probably not allowed but as iTunes is 'free'...

    How to install itunes for Linux OS ??

    Some people have reported at least partial success using one of the Windows emulators such as WINE, so you might try that. There is no native version of iTunes for Linux and no indications from Apple that they have any plans for one.

    There is no release of iTunes for Linux, hence there is no support community.  Certainly your question is not appropriate for the iTunes Match forum.

  • Why isn't there an iTunes for Linux?

    There is no iTunes for Linux. And all I have on my computer is Linux. Can Apple not make iTunes for Linux, or is there a security issue, or something? I want to know.

    capablancauk,
    Yes, you are correct. Both OSX and the Linux kernel are built on UNIX. I've only used a Mac once, and it was to install an Apache webserver with MySQL and PHP. Knowing Linux made it easy. OSX is the dummy's version of Linux. That being said, every OS requires specific program hooks, drivers, etc. in order to function properly.
    Could it be about digital rights? I don't know.
    But the truth is, Linux is a full-featured, secure (who needs antivirus?), cutting-edge OS with enormous power. I use it every day for software development, and a Mac would only slow me down.
    Although, I have no doubt that the reason both Microsoft and Apple oppose Linux is pretty obvious. $$$$$

  • When you will make iTunes for Linux?

    We are need iTunes for Linux OS!

    These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback - but the market share for Linux is very small so it's probably not going to happen any time soon (if at all)

  • I want iTunes for Linux, i have an iPod and using Linux, so mister Apple...

    I want iTunes for Linux, i have an iPod and I'm using Linux, so mister Apple I am waiting for a linux version !!!!! Come on, also Mac is an Unix system. It is not hard to make....
    Please post here if U want a Linux version of iTunes

    Since we are just fellow users, we wouldn't be able to help you, & no representative from Apple posts on these boards.

  • Develop iTunes for Linux?

    Why doesn´t Apple build iTunes for Linux? I know alot of people that dont buy the Apple products just because there is no iTunes for Linux, so they buy Android instead.
    Plz Apple give me answer...

    I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, but it certainly reads as though you believe my job is less important than someone who has had a college education in computer science. And that's without you even knowing what my education or occupation is.
    This is a forum for people who use Apple products, not for computer geeks. For that, look elsewhere.

    No, truthfully that is a fact.
    No, it is for Apple to decide and most certainly, not you.
    Take careful note of my comment above: this is a forum for people who use Apple products. If you feel the need to knock Apple and its business decisions, there are far better places to vent your feelings than here.
    Obviously anyone who comes to this site USES apple products, dont back such a product that can only do a few things and claims to do everything, just use it. Also a buisness such as apple has the right to decide but a good buisness would build it on every platform for obvious reasons.
    Lastly, just because linux isnt your cup of tea, dosent mean you should try and knock something you dont know. you are the one who looks foolish, but wait, you have all the uneducated people who will support you...so feel good. (be thankful for linux people, they are the ones who drive prices DOWN. but i guess you always like paying 10.99 for a app that suggests what color socks to wear).

  • ITunes for Linux?

    Can iTunes and the iTunes store be used by other operating systems besides Windoze and MacOS like Linux?
    THanks

    Been there, done that! And when I complained about their incompetance to make spare parts for their hand held products (iphones,ipods), I got a reply,but now when I emailed them because I can't find a version of itunes that runs on linux at their website, I got no answer.
    They can't say that it is too hard or too time consuming, just because you should really just compile it for another unix kernel and write the libraries that it needs, or just use the existing ones. MacOS even uses X, so you should just make two skins for them in gtk and one for KDE.
    This would increase the sales of the new iphones and ipods, because there are so many people willing to buy them, but they don't want to buy something they can't sync with their existing software. They'd rather go with a nokia, which syncs pretty well with linux. And, as far as I know, there are more people using linux as their home OS, than there are using MacOS.
    But even still, you haven't ported it yet, even if that would/is be profitable. I've heard that when you people at apple had some financial difficulties, some particular Bill offered you an offer you couldn't resist. Many people think that's why you now use intel's processors, just because this particular Bill isn't friends with IBM. That actually makes me more willing not to buy you're hardware, because now I am paying for something extra just to run an OS, that I have to pay for exclusively. When you had the ppcs, I felt different, just because then I would have a ppc, rather than an x86, and that would make me feel different. Now I pay for the design and the exclusive compatibility, which *****.
    Looks like the iphone is going to be the last product of apple I'll ever buy from you greedy suck-up people, unless you port it to linux and stop kissing the particular bill's butt.
    I apologize for my bad english and my rudeness, it kind of gets on my nerve, when I see the particular bill trying to dominate the computer/os market.
    LONG LIVE LINUX!!!

  • HT1349 What about itunes for the PC? I can't find my serial number.

    Where do I find the serial number in a PC's itunes so I can contact customer support.

    There is no serial number for iTunes.  If you want to contact Apple customer support, you have to provide your Apple deivce serial number which is in the device SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT

  • How about analogue for Struts DynaBean

    For my simple application I defined a managed-bean in the faces-config.xml . This definition contains everything that I want to have for this bean - properties, properties types and init values. After that I have to create a file where I dublicate this definition (+ getters and setters, of course). Probably, JSF-RI can do this job for me in run-time if it finds that the class is missing.

It gets installed automatically if you drop the JAR file into your app, or you can grab the source and use it separately as well if you want.

  • How about gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms?

    Subject says it all... it could make compiling a lot of code out there a whole lot easier!
    Bob

    I also desire gccfss for Solaris x86/x64 platforms .
    In the interim I have downloaded the source and am attempting to create such a beast.
    It is slow progress to fix the unexpected script breakage, but it seems to be going OK:
    Problems:
    1.): Issues like "-mtune=v9" and an "embeded spec" in gcc and cpp (from files
    gccfss_src/build/gcc/gccspec.o and gccfss_src/build/gcc/cppspec.o).
    2.): Use of OPTTABLE_H = $(srcdir)/config/target-option-table.h with SPARC specific
    options throughout
    EG:
    #ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
    #define NATIVE \
    { "-native", "-xtarget=generic" }, \
    { "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
    { "-xarch=native", "-Zarch=v8plus -Zarchm32=v8plus -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=32" },\
    { "-xtarget=native64", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=64"}, \
    { "-xtarget=native", "-Zarch=generic -Zarchm32=generic -Zarchm64=v9 -xchip=generic -xcache=generic -Zm=32"}
    #else
    #define NATIVE \
    { "-native", "-xtarget=native" }, \
    { "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
    { "-xarch=native", "-xarch=native -Zm=32"}, \
    { "-xtarget=native64", "-xtarget=native64 -Zm=64"}, \
    { "-xtarget=native", "-xtarget=native -Zm=32"}
    #endif
    Thus, one would need to change:
    { "-xarch=native64", "-Zarch=v9 -Zarchm64=v9 -Zm=64" },\
    to something like:
    { "-xarch=native64", "-xarch=386 -m64" },\
    3.): Copy the "sparc_output_scratch_registers()" function from file
    "gccfss_src/src/gcc/config/sparc/sparc.c" to "gccfss_src/src/gcc/tree-ir.c".
    4.): Use the undocumented command line option "-frtl-backend" when this error
    occurs during the build (a simple Makefile change):
    `-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead.
    xgcc: SUNW0scgfss 4.2.0 has not been installed. Either install it or use -frtl-backend.
    5.): More ...
    All these issues occur because the scripts expect "--build=sparc-pc-solaris2.11" but
    I configured using "--build=i386-pc-solaris2.11" . It seems like it is going to work
    but I am yet to finish stage1 of the build (I do have a working "xgcc").

  • How about settings for OCZ 3200 2x512 ELPE?

    I see a post about people using the 3500 OCZ.  I am getting the MSI K8N NEO Platnum, and OCZ400512ELPE  3200, somtime this week.  here is my system.
    I will have 3200 AMD 64. ati radeon pro 256 mb, and WD raptor 10k 74gb HD. As well as MB and OCZ mem.  I am a complete newb with the Bios, so my mom will be setting the bios.  What bios should I use and what settings should I use to make this board be stable and perform the best it can?  I kinda need a walkthrough if possible from someone who has used this memory or who can speak about it.  I cant wait to get this up and running and am pretty excited about it. Any help would be appreciated.thanks

    Price is a factor, so thats why I am getting the 3200. I am not into doing major Overclockin or anything, I just want to know what settings to set to make it as stable as possible, and get the most from this type of memory. I realize the potential is problly greater with the other memory but I have spent alot of money as is and am short on resources.  Any help with the 3200 is appreciated thx

  • How about support for Waves plugins or Universal Audio UAD plugins?

    I wonder if Final Cut Pro X will become more stable in working with 3rd party audio plugins, like Waves or UAD? I use Waves, and the responsiveness of the system is very heavily affected. Anyone has same experiences or even a solution for this kind of behaviour?

    I have a February 8 Core Machine and two UAD PCIe cards and I am have NO issues - I dont even have core overloads- today I ran a logic benchmark test on the cores and could run 50 instances on the test.
    http://www.evan.se/logicprobenchmark/
    Tom at UAD said that the issues were CPU spikes when using the UAD cards - not here!
    You are not alone Andrew!. I have sent them my system profile and told them that i would be happy to do any tests.
    cheers

  • How about Firefox for the Apple iPhone 5s and above.

    Can that be accomplished or are you restricted by Apple software policies?

    Mozilla is looking to have a browser of sorts for iOS in next while however it will likely not use the same browser and JavaScript engines that say Firefox uses on desktop and Android due to Apple restrictions. Many of the so called browsers are shells.
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/is-firefox-available-iphone-or-ipad
    The article does not really give much information as I imagine the article will be updated as more information becomes available.
    Mozilla did have a experimental browser for iPad back in mid 2012 called Junior, however it did not use the Gecko engine due to the restrictions.
