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. $$$$$

Why isn't there a board for iOS?

why isn't there a board for iOS?
it would make sense.
problems with iOS on the iPhone could be having the same problem on an iPod Touch or iPad.

There is.... several.

Why isn't there an iTunes Connection Queue?

It's been about 2 hours for me trying to connect and reconnect to iTunes for the final step in my 2.0 update. I understand that there is a huge volume of people trying to do the same thing which is causing the server overload, but why isn't there a queue so that we can at least wait in line?
**** Poor Planning = **** Poor Performance

A line?! Instead of a 2 hour wait, you'd be looking at a 2 day wait if that was the case.

Tabs on top? Why isn't there an option for this???!!!

How is it possible Safari was released without the option to place tabs on the browser's top??!
This was the single best innovation from Apple in browser implementation -- EVER.
Tabs on top was BRILLIANT.

So why censor my post????

There are already 7,000 viewers of the official "Tab Not On Top" thread the day after Safari's release!
Options should be the norm. Safari should be allowed to evolve through interaction with users -- not by dictation from timid anti-innovators in Apple's hierarchy.
I don't need to see the site title -- if I don't know which site I am at I can look at the location bar url. Shesh.
Let users decide!

Why isn't there an override for the following?

Websites prohibit password saving
Some websites do not allow for passwords to be saved for security reasons. If you have followed the steps above, but are still not prompted to save a password when logging into a certain website, that site may have disabled password saving.

I'm not sure what you mean with "Save login info" in the right-click context menu.
Such a choice can only be added by an extension.
Websites can change the code at any time, so if you got a chance to save the password earlier then what doesn't mean that it will wok now.
The bookmarklet should give information about the presence of autocomplete.<br />
There can be other reasons for not getting that offer like an exception or other problems with the password manager.

Why isn't there an option for me to have my iPhone language settings in Welsh?

As a Welsh speaker I would prefer my iPhone language settings to be in Welsh. It would make it easier for me to message people if I was reading everything in my first (and primary speaking) language.

Why isn't there an option for new tabs to open to your homepage?

This was an option in previous versions of Firefox. What sense does it make to remove functionality?
I don't want to have to middle click my home button, and it's absolutely ridiculous to have to install an extra addon to restore basic features that were included in versions that came out 5 years ago.
What's the deal?

Here is the newest iteration of an addon that "fixes" this missing feature-
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-homepage/
Of course, just like all the others before it, it will eventually break the functionality of itself or another addon in some way or form and we will once again have to find a replacement that restores this very basic feature which other browsers have implemented but Firefox has taken away.
I never gave Chrome or any other browser the time of day because I never needed to, but since Mozilla devs are removing basic features that people want and continually refusing to re-implement them (due to stubbornness or stupidity, 7 years in the making) it's beginning to sound like a better alternative every second.

Firefox 6 slowed down the loading of webpages to a ridiculous level. What the heck is going on, and why isn't there a fix for it?????

Web pages take forever (ie, minutes) to load.

I suggest you revert.
6.0 apparently has many performance issues. I can't speak to your specific slow-down issue, but if you look at these boards, 6.0 has enough problems to suggest it should be avoided until Mozilla actually puts out a FIX release, not a "new release with new added bugs" release.

I use the curve 9370, it's so thin , why isn't there a case for it or an otter box, something ???

Why isn't there an update for the Google tool bar? I trusted you and dwnloaded current update.

I just trusted your update and now I am prevented from installing my Google toolbar. What's up with that?

It is absolutely nuts that I updated to 5.0 and now I'm missing my Google Toolbar and most importantly SPELLCHECK! I never would have updated had I know of this problem. Talk about an essential tool. Come on Firefox! I'll be using another browser until you can get this problem fixed!

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).

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes...why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just bought? I assume I need it to download from iCloud.

Ok...so I have the latest version of iTunes per response to my previous question. Why isn't there a cloud icon next to the movie I just downloaded? I assume that's the only way to access movies on the cloud. ( My computer shows the icon.)

What are you trying to do? If the movie is on your iPad, the cloud icon will not appear next to the movie. You will see the cloud icon next to the movie if you delete it from your iPad and then you can download it again. That is assuming that the movie is eligible for a free download as not every movie can be downloaded again for free.
This is a screenshot of the purchased tab in iTunes on my iPad. These movies are already on my iPad so there is no cloud icon next to them for another download.
What I don't understand is for what reason are you trying to access the movie? If you want to watch the movie, it is in the videos app. Maybe that is where I am missing the boat.

Why isn't there a chart with ios, mac os and itunes compatibily?

Since there are so many people who have been screwed over by upgrading to a newer ios without knowing that they would need a different version of iTunes that can only work with a newer Mac os, but their computer cannot run that os, so now they are out of luck, WHY isn't there a chart somewhere that shows the compatibility between ios, itunes, Mac os and even Mac computer versions? The info is available if you search for it separately (lots of searches), but I can't find it all in one place. For example, ios7 works only with itunes 11.1 and up on 10.6.8 and up on an intel Mac. That is really useful for people who want to make sure their whole infrastructure is compatible before they upgrade. Does anyone know if something like this exists anywhere? Thanks.

HT201371 Why isn't there an album ONLY for photos taken by camera?

This is my first iPhone, and I find it extremely messy that my camera roll has so many pictures from everywhere:
1- Pcitrues taken by camera
2- Pictures saved through Safari
3- Screenshots
4- and maybe some pictures saved through other Apps.
Why isn't there a way that all camera pictures can go into an album which no other app can use (including iOS' built-in apps such as Safari).
In Android for example, it was much easier...

It is just designed to use the computers ability to take off pictures as if it were a digital camera.
While we are all users here and cannot explain why they chose this route, my assumption is that many people already organize photos via some 3rd party program (Mac users use iPhone, many Windows users use Picasa etc), so they had the Camera Roll act as a digital camera when plugged in to allow users to maintain the same process of getting pictures and organizing that they are already use to using. If one things about it, it was a nice thing they did and not force users to use iTunes to get pics, then have to go to their other program and have to manually organize.

So, the upload time will vary on internet connection. If there is an issue with how fast it is uploaded you can check if prefetching is turned on, but this does not really affect uploading [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Controlling_DNS_prefetching Controlling DNS prefetching]
If you search for solutions, you will see a bunch of tweaks as well that may be helpful to your specific computer. [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]] to make sure you are all up to date as well.
