These solutions are in more detail and have screenshots here: It is possible to run iTunes using Wine but you may have to download an older version and certain things will not work however these steps should allow you to at least get the program up and running: • Go to Ubuntu menu and select System –> Administration –> Synaptic Package Manager, type ‘wine’ in quick search and select wine package.

• Hit Ctrl+I to mark it for installation or set a checkbox left to package name (it will also ask to mark several dependency packages). • Press Apply button or hit Ctrl+P and confirm the installation. • In a few minutes Ubuntu will download and install wine. • After a confirmation message that packages were installed close Synaptic Package Manager.

• Download the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com (today it is iTunes 9.2) or download one of previous versions from www.oldapps.com if the latest one poses problems or just refuses to install under wine emulator (this happens so be prepared for this situation). • Open folder with downloaded itunes.exe (if you use Firefox as browser it’ll be saved directly to the desktop), select file and enter to file properties (right click –> Properties).

• Save changes and execute the file by double click. Follow itunes installation steps until it shows that installation is successfully finished. • Once installation is finished you will be able to start itunes by clicking corresponding shortcut on Ubuntu desktop or running the following command in terminal (go to Ubuntu menu and select System –> Accessories –> Terminal): wine ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe The second and less popular way of getting iTunes running is by using a Virtualbox, and this way all of the features are available.
