iTunes

I forgot to mention in my test report that iTunes (64-bit) freezes for ~2 minutes when you open preferences. Same thing occurs again if you select the "Devices" pane.

Thanks, I'll modify the test result to reflect this

I installed wine 2.13 on fedora 26 and use itunes 12.6.2.
1. itune will crash when I switch between tabs like "For you" and "Browse" when browsing store. But enabling CSMT from staging can fix this. I looked at the crash detail, it seems like memory corruption.
2. Playing videos from store won't work, which will crash iTunes. To fix this issue, I installed vcrun2013 via winetricks for msvcr120.

BTW, The iTunes I installed is 32 bit version.

Hi folks!

Installed it onto an Ubuntu with Wine 2.6 (no staging), 32-bit, Win7, gdiplus and msxml3

The installation went as intended and so on. Now when I start iTunes it asks me for the EULA (only on first time) and then an error is displayed:

=> The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions of this folder.

Though when checking the permissions on this folder, I do have them. Is there a fix for this?

You probably run wine with root permissions (sudo). Delete your prefix and try again.

Hello,
I can not sign in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I receive the error "Verification failed: There was an error connection to the Apple ID server". In the preferences dialog the Store options are grayed out. I have installed the iTunes 12.5.4 (32 bit) with wine 1.9.24 and 1.7.28.

Greeting.

Bonjour,

I'm not sure I fully understand but it seems to me that iTunes 12.5.3 is a 64 bit application (as mentionned in apple web page), so the winearch win32 seems at least strange.
Can some one clarify this for me ?
Thank you
Patrick

There are both 32 bit and 64 bit setups. 32 bit is quite hidden at apple.com, but here is the direct link:
secure-appldnld.apple.com/itunes12/031-88390-20161031-259EC4AD-5719-4DCD-B8E6-99C0F59AE24B/iTunesSetup.exe

How is this "gold" rating acceptable?

Itunes is an app for syncing devices, and "not tested" lists "syncing devices". That's a completely test result.

* That's a completely *useless* test result.

iTunes is just not a application for synchronisation of music and video files. Under the maintainer definitions, if one feature that doesn't work, it doesn't mean the entire program doesn't. As such, with this complaint, I have revised the rating on the test result in question.
iTunes can be used to:
View books
Download and listen/watch podcasts
Listen to music
Purchase a range of media and playing it.

If any of these features work, then it is deemed higher than Garbage. If the majority of these features function, then it can be considered Silver as syncing between devices is not a 'normal' day-to-day use case. Would you sync something everyday?

In all honesty, all those are secondary functions. It's like a photo tagging app being able to open/display/save photos, but not tag them.

In any case, I guess bronze/silver at least sounds better than gold.

You're quite correct and editing the rating was the correct thing to do also. This is why we need good maintainers.

All -
I have been struggling with this error preventing me from logging into the iTunes store for years now, both with iTunes 10 and now iTunes 12 and I finally found a solution. The problem is exactly the same as "Issue #2" in this extensive thread:

us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20742995286

In short, secur32 is asking gnutls to use SSLv3 for secure connections and Apple (apparently) now wants to use TLS, thus preventing a secure connection from being established. More recent versions of gnutls have dropped support for SSL entierly and instead use TLS which masks the problem with secur32. However, if you are running an older distribution (Ubuntu 14.04 in my case) this will cause error 0x80090304 to be reported in iTunes when attempting to log into the music store and/or the console will show:

... (Initialize|Accept)SecurityContext failed with error 0x80090304

Read the above link for two possible solutions, but the easiest is probably just to upgrade your distribution.

Hope this helps!

OK. Looks like I was only half right. I can confirm that upgrading the distribution fixed the 0x80090304 error, but the patch at the above link does not seem to.

it runs perfecly, i see the whole itunes image pop up for a second, then it goes invisible, the file menu is still accessible and so are many other features, but im litteraly running blind, how might i fix this, its running fine, but it goes invisible instantky after, im on the latest arch linux on an aspireone xp computer, suprised it even works at all (32-bit)

In order to run iTunes in wine you need to download last version that has XP support, 12.1.3: support.apple.com/kb/DL1614

thanks man. works perfectly on staging 1.7.55!

it looks like wine64 bit doesnt want to run 64 bit though, it keeps to say unsupported architecture for dlls

Not necessarily. iTunes >= 12.2 will work with Wine; you just need to set the Windows version to Windows 7 or higher using Winetricks or Winecfg. Try 'winetricks win7' then 'wine iTunesSetup.exe' or, to run them both in one command line, 'winetricks win7 && wine iTunesSetup.exe'.

I used wine 1.6.2, I was able to install. I first tried with default wine setup (it failed), switched to "windows 8" config, and it installed fine.but yet doesn't open.

Fails with error saying it needs to be reinstalled;

Try using the "iTunes 12.3.3 for old video cards" available at support.apple.com/kb/DL1816?locale=en_US

It worked for me (on wine 1.9.7) when I ran into your same error with the normal iTunes.

Tried this("12.4.3 for old video card") with 1.9.24 and even the iTunes.exe isn't installed correctly with this setup:
iTunes $ ls
iPodUpdaterExt.dll iTunesMiniPlayer.dll iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources

vorpalblade, could you list the steps you took to get itunes working in the 64-bit Arch OS?
