Why won't they make iTunes for us Linux users?

There is a large community of Linux users. We have no ITunes nor anything that we can make purchases, upgrades, synch etc. Why won't Apple make iTunes available for ALL users. I keep an old desktop running Windows XP simply for iTunes. Is there a reason Linux users are ignored?

iTunes does not support Linux. However, Wine may allow you to run iTunes. But you may encounter errors and problems. http://www.winehq.org/

Why do they make apps for iPhone and dont make matching apps for the mac?

So I lovvvvveeee my MacBook Pro! I have wanted one for many years and finally got to get it. I have also been a iPhone user for many years, sense the 2nd. one came out. I have a huge issue though! I love all the different types of apps that they both have. I just dont get why it is that you can use a app for the iPhone that doesn't crossover to my Mac. That is so dumb! If they make it for one product say the iPohne then they should make it for all of them! Why don't they do so?????

Hi Jenn,
I see you already had a discussion about this and its really terrible that newsstand isnt there, but i thought I might share a few apps that do exist on both ios and mac in order to sync the two or atleast make your iphone a bit more of a sidekick to your mac or viceversa as I faced the same problems (some of them are stock apple apps but they are the best solution in my opinion).
Calendar: Use the normal reminders and calendar apps on the iphone and mac, they do a neat job syncing up
Browser: Chrome, you do need to have a gmail account for this but icloud for safari isnt as good as chromes syncing for your bookmarks and open tabs and saved passwords.
To Do lists: Wunderlist/Producteev, I suggest two here because both are excellent with the former more aesthetically appealing but the latter allowing for more functionality
Mail: Mail for Mac is generally good, but the syncing here is achieved by setting up as IMAP so make sure you always setup all your accounts as IMAP.
Notes: Dashnote, the stock notes on Mac are a bit inaccessible at times and you often lose them, so i suggest using dashnote, please note that dashnote is a widget in the dashboard on the mac and not a dedicated program but it is an app on ios
Music: Stream to me / itunes match, both of these are paid services but they allow you to share your music across both the iphone and the mac and they seem to be worth it for the price
News articles and interesting weblinks: Pocket, not a lot to say except for that its nice
Storage, and arguably a good way to read pdfs and docs on your iphone: google drive/skydrive
Messaging: Apple messages, skype
There are many more apps but these are just the ones i know and use. Hope you find some of these apps handy.

Why won't they provide me a serial number for my new software

why won't they provide me a serial number for my new software?
They have promised to send me an email 5 times but never received anything. I'm baffled.

I chatted this morning. Just an extention of the merry-go-round. Nothing accomplished.

alain: call in may 3rd and was told i would get an email within 24 hours. still nothing. call back on monday, may 7 and was told i would get it in 24 hrs. still nothing. this is the same routine everyday but still nothing. my order # is xxxxxxxxxxxxx and says here on my account that its completed.
Manashi: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Manashi: Thank you for the information.
Manashi: I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Manashi: I have checked with the case and see that your case has been escalated to higher level, they will contact you via email as soon as possible.

alain: how will i get compensated for hours over the phone, chat room and support boards?
alain: all that for a serial number? is there an explanation?
Manashi: Alain, if I would have the access, I could have provided you the product, but it is out of my level.
alain: Can you cancel my order?
alain: and you ignore my last question
Manashi: Since the case has been escalated to higher level, I am sorry to inform you that I can not cancel your order.
alain: how will i get compensated?
alain: why i am talking to you if you cant do anything?
Manashi: Once you get the order, please contact us back so that we can initiate the return.

HT1766 I do not know how to back up that is why i made the apt i am afraid of loosing my info i did once before. why won't they help me?

I crashed my i phone trying to upgrade. I took it to a Sprint store and they crashed my phone and lost all my iformation. I have made numerous efforts to make a new account and have no success, The reason for the apt is for Apple to save my info before i crash my phone again. I am not tec savvy and i am afraid to try and save the back up infor as i was never told to log on to i cloud. Why won't they help me at the store that is what i need help with to save my info while the delete my old accounts and ger me ONE account and password with back up that works? Why won't they help me do this at the store? just got it working i don't want to loose it again
Thanks,

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Why won't Nokia make S90 devices?

Why won't Nokia make S90 devices any more? The 7710, well it had it's problems, but I liked the interface so much more than S60 v5. Was it that bad for the majority of users? Am I odd to like the S90? To me the S90 looked more like a proper high-tech PDA with phone functionality and the S60 v5 looks like a proper touch screen phone interface with added PDA features.. I don't know- I somehow liked the S90 approach better. Is there anyone else here who feels that the S90 should have stayed?
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and the world laughs louder :-)

hmm, so the S90 indeed is unpopular. No one else seems to like the S90 interface other than me

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock? It used to.

Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What is your Aperture version? And where is your Aperture library located?
Are you syncing your library in any way? With Facebook, Flickr, Photo Streams?
Where did you delete the photos from? from an album, web album, project? Did you empty the Aperture trash and the trash on your desktop?

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. $$$$$

How do I disable iTunes for a single user?

I recently purchased an iPhone and installed iTunes on my Windows Vista computer. It looks like iTunes was installed for all users. I typically have 2 windows user accounts active during the day. When I plug in my iPhone (with the included usb cable) iTunes tries to start for both users. One will succeed and I will constantly get error messages from the other until I unplug my iPhone. I always want my primary user account to start iTunes and connect to my iPhone when I plug it in and never want my secondary user to start iTunes or connect to my iPhone. Is there a way that I can just disable iTunes for my secondary user?

Chris,
Thanks for your reply. Where is this option available? I have checked all the tabs that show up when I select iPhone. I have checked all the menu items (including edit-preferences) and I have also right clicked on iPhone. I don't see an item anywhere that will let me control this.
I am using iPhone 2.2.1 and iTunes 8.1, there are no updates available.
thanks again,
Jason

.dotjs and .dotcss for Arch Linux Users

Hi all,
I've created a new Google Chrome extension to enable the functionalities of .dotjs and .dotcss extensions for Arch Linux users.
Check it here; https://github.com/azer/.w3
Contributions and ideas are welcome,
Azer

Thanks for doing this, never heard of dotjs before, but I love the idea and definitely have some use cases for this.
Of course as an arch user, Im just kindly asking if you plan to create an AUR - package for this?
