Hi guys! I am pretty new to Linux and don't have an awful lot of programming experience (unless you count using a cassette recorder). I need a step by step guide to installing/using itunes. A numpty's guide as it were. I have tried a couple of times to install following general guides and youtube guides. Still can't get it to work. I really don't want to dual boot. Please help!

How to transfer iTunes music to Ubuntu?

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: May 3, 2012
Hi interwebers, I'm pretty new to Ubuntu. I've tried it before, loved it, and plan on replacing win7 with it, just wanted to move all my music over there. The problem is, 80% of my music was bought on iTunes, meaning they're .m4a's. These are all on my current windows 7 machine. I was wanting to put all of this on Ubuntu, and I was wondering what the best way to move all of it over would be. The two problems that I am worried about is 1.) That Banshee, RythymBox, etc. will not accept .m4a's, and 2.) How to do the actual transfer part of this. Sorry if this sounds kind of dumb, this is my first post, and if there's already a thread for this, could you please post a link to it? Thanks

Ubuntu and iTunes

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 1, 2010
I have read so many posts my brain is fried. Question: Can I download music from iTunes without installing their software? If so, HOW? I don't mind paying for the songs. The lady has to eat so she can make more music for me to enjoy.

Hello everyone, I am a new user to Ubuntu (and linux in general) and was wondering how I would go about installing itunes so I can update my iPod. Pardon my newbness as I literally installed Ubuntu two hours ago. Would I need to use a program that will make an .exe compatible with linux? Thanks for any help in advance. BTW, I am really digging this OS!

tangerine and itunes share

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 30, 2012
Hi all: I'm trying to setup an Ubuntu (11.10) share with tangerine. Itunes on the Winows 7 PC shows the shared directory but not the files inside. I installed Banshee on the widows machine, but that does not even display the shared ubuntu directory. I previously tried forked-daapd, which was able to show and play files in Itunes, but would stop playing after about 5 minutes. It appears that I broke something when removing that package. Any ideas would be appreciated.

iTunes 10 not working under Wine

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: December 28, 2010
I got the XP 32 bit newest version of iTunes from the iTunes website. I got the newest version of Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 So when I install iTunes it seems to work because it goes through the whole install process. But when I click the iTunes icon to launch it I Get a little box with this error message: Apple Application Support was not found Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again. Error 2 (Windows error 2) So what can I do to fix this? I already uninstalled then re installed iTunes like the message says to do but I still keep getting the same error. Please help! Thanks!

Question about encoding to make it work with iTunes/iPhone

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: May 1, 2013
Hi, I´m seeking help in regards playing screencasted files on iPhone after encoding. I´m not an expert in encoding matters and would be grateful if one of you could help me. Based on "HOWTO: Proper Screencasting on Linux" (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1392026) I installed FFmpeg on my Ubuntu 12.04. I started to record my screen based on the information in the aforementioned link: ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -crf 0 -threads 0 output.mkv This works fine. Afterwards I encoded the output.mkv file: ffmpeg -i output.mkv -acodec libfaac -ab 128k -ac 2 -vcodec libx264 -preset slow -crf 22 -threads 0 our-final-product.mp4 But unfortunately this file can NOT be imported into iTunes. When doing so iTunes is saying: "our-final-product.mp4" was not copied to the iPhone because it cannnot be played on this iPhone. Would be great to get a hint how to do the encoding to m
