HT1926 Why can't I download the itunes installer file to my iPhone?

It is required to run on my PC inorder to use my iPhone as an internet connection!!! *** Apple spend hundreds on the latest greatest brick and it still ***** very unhappy 5s (s is apparently for SUCKER) owner.
I use my phone as a hotspot and I recently had to restore my windows computer, thus deleting the itunes program and installer... Sooooo I figure no big deal the iPhone shows up in windows 8 with a drive labeled "internal storage" why can I not simply download the windows installer file to that folder on my iPhone and run it on my PC ( much like a very over priced thumb drive) but no sir apple prohibits it's iPhone from downloading .exe files to anywhere on itself through safari ***???? Yes I can go to any public library and download it to a thumb drive in the morning but what to do all night???? ..... I got it vent about the infinite ways the control misers at Apple find to make the simplest of tasks next to impossible... Will once again be an android user in the bear future.... Expense is justified in defense if common sense... So to you apple I give -1 of 5 stars for overbearing control freak power hungry activities!!!!

It's a phone, not a thumb drive. If you want to download an .exe file to a thumb drive, then buy one. We are not Apple here - we are just users like you, and this is a user to user technical help forum. So, if you have a technical question please ask it.
Otherwise, you are wasting your breath.

    Hello wilsona1234,
    Sorry for the trouble. What is the exact detection from Norton for the installation file? Did you download itunes from the legitimate Apple web site? What is the error you are referring to?
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I download the latest iTunes to my mac which is a 10.5.8

    I have got myself in a real mess, I installed the new iOS 7 onto my iPad and I don't like it so I imported all my new photos to my mac, then I reset all my settings on my iPad thinking that it would go back to the original settings but alas didn't work.
    Then I thought I would put up with it but now I cannot put my photos etc back onto the iPad because my mac needs the version of iTunes but when I try to install the new version I get a messy come up that iTunes cannot install this new version on my mac which is a 10.5.8.
    So now I am stuck with the software on the iPad I don't like and I cannot sync the iPad to iTunes
    So why can't I download the new version of iTunes to the mac which is 10.5.8

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • Why can't I download the new version of Itunes?

    Why can't I download the newest version of Itunes? My Itunes program tells me an update is availible but when I select to download nothing happens.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • Why can't I download the waiting songs on my iTunes? I have over 2gb storage free

    why can't I download the "waiting" songs on my iTunes ? I have 2gb of free storage

    I'm guessing because the servers or part of the network is still overloaded by millions of other trying to do the same.
    Some seem to think this helped:
    Adding Open DNS servers to network preferences (2012) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17806286
    Changing DNS to Google on a wireless device - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17806308
    P.S. Punctuation would help the readability of your question.

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

  • Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Why can't I see the iTunes store on my iPhone 5c?

    Well then it is somewhere on one of your Home pages or in a Folder:
    Do a spotlight search to see if it accidently got moved into a Folder: Swipe down in the center of the screen to bring up the Spotlight search and type in iTunes. If it is in a folder, the folder name will show up to the right.
    If it is not in a folder, but shows up on the Spotlight search, then you need to look at each Home screen to see if you can find where it got moved to.
    Finally, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout, which will reorganize all of your icons so that the original Apple core apps are on the first Home screen as they were originally. Of course, if you have a lot of app icons that you have set up on specific Home screens you would have to move them all back to where you wanted them. But that should put the iTunes icon back on the first Home screen.
