Additional Comments
NOTE: All the following commands should be entered on the same command window. So keep it open until the end of the guide. 1) Open a command window and set wine to 32bit mode with the command: export WINEARCH=win32 2) The only way i managed to create a new 32bit prefix on my 64bit system is the following. Delete (or rename if you have other installed programs) the existing .wine folder. Then on the already opened command window type: winecfg 3) Now you have a new 32bit prefix under the folder .wine 4) Rename the folder .wine to something like .itunes 5) Enter the command: export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.itunes 6) Go to the directory you have saved the itunes installer with the command: cd $HOME/Downloads 7) Run the installer with the command: wine iTunesSetup921.exe (or whatever is your installer name) 8) During the installation the installer will ask you twice to "repair" or "update" the software. Cancel both times. Then the installer will complete the installation successfully. 9) Now you need to install gdiplus with winetricks, run it with the command: winetricks 10) The program should now run smoothly. The only other annoying thing is a window popping up about a crashed process. Just go to your home folder then to the folder /.itunes/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Apple Application Support/ and delete the file distnoted.exe 11) You are ready to go with no annoying pop ups! :-) 12) if you renamed the original .wine folder in the step 2 you can now rename it back to the name .wine again so your other programs will run ok again.

I know this is no solution for Wine, but it's a useful workaround for those who need it.
