How do I get iTunes to work on an old laptop with only 300mb of ram

I have an old Compaq pressario with just over 300mb of ram that i want to run iTunes on. It has a slow processor which does not meet the recommendations but I just wanted the bare functionality to run and setup an iPhone for my mother to use. It is an old celeron 800 MHZ processor.

You forgot to mention it.
You need the linux-headers package for this.
Edit: the linux-headers for your running kernel that is, not the one currently in [core]

I can not store all my Music on my internal Macbook pro hard drive so I am storing it on a large external drive connected to my airport extreme (2 TB drive plugged into the USB port). I see the drive on my laptop and I can add and delete files no problem. How do I get Itunes to search for the music here with out trying to copy it to my laptop's hard drive? I don't have enough space to do that.

How did you move the music to the external drive? What exactly is on the drive? The entire iTunes folder or only music? If it is the entire iTunes folder you can do the option+start suggestion earlier. If you copied only music and did so by dragging it there then you need to delete it again and consolidate/organize it there instead so iTunes tracks the move. iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

My iPod screen broke and I bought a new one, how do I get iTunes to un-recognize the old one (i heard you can only have 5 devices).

I have new iPod Nano. I want to set it up w/ the same name as my old one. I heard you can only hve 5 devices, so since I'll never use the original one again, how do I get iTunes to know that it is no longer?

You do not need to do anyhting.
You can sync as many devices as you like.

How can I get itunes to work on my laptop

itunes use to be on my laptop...for some reason i get an error message. how can i reinstall?

What does the error message say? (Precise text, please.)

I did the itunes update on my computer and how I cant get Itunes to work.

I am upset, I did the typical update that I tunes gives you and now I can't get it to work at all. It says I need permission to use it, or that the moible system is not working which I am not sure what that means at all.

I have a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns movies and audiobooks in the C drive which is close to full. How do I get itunes to work from the movies and audiobooks files in my D drive so that the C drive memory is not compromised?

I have a partitioned laptop. Itunes automatically consigns files from my D drive to the C drive when I import them. My C drive is running out of space! What commands do I use to ensure that Itunes draws directly from my D drive for high space usesr like movies, podcasts and audiobooks ?

Quit iTunes.
Copy the iTunes Folder to the D drive, leave a copy on the C drive.
Then open the XML file in the C drive in the iTunes folder with a Text editor with "Find and Replace" ability.
Correct all the partial pathnames so it matches the new location where the iTunes Folder is now.
Example:
Find: C:\Windows\Users\Johnny\Music\iTunesFolder... to
Replace: D\\Music\iTunesFolder....
Quit iTunes and transfer all the folders out of the iTunes Folder on C except the two single files, including the XML you edited.
Start iTunes and click on one song you have but dislike, if it plays your fine. Leave the C/iTunes folders alone to make sure it works for all your content, then finally back it up or delete it to make room on C. Do a Windows defrag on C for increased performance.
If you get a Explanation Point in iTunes, it didn't find the file and you didn't correct the pathnames correctly..
