What works
note: make sure you disable compiz before usage
What works with CX and wine current state:
- Installation completes with no errors on winxp unsupported bottle
- Program starts up well, of course with lots of bugs outputting to the terminal main one being ipodservice.exe cannot load
+MUSIC PORTION+
- Imported several folders of music and organized it
- music plays fine and I can adjust volume and progress forward and reverse in playlist
- clicking on Movies on the left hand side locks the application up
- rating works
- all three window views work even the icon/ipod like album art shuffling
- all icons on bottom of screen left and right work
- search bar works
- fullscreen works
- visualizer works
- playlists works
- miniplayer works
- converting files for apple format or ipod format works
+Podcasts+
- Podcasts can be downloaded to computer
+RADIO PORTION+
- radio works
+iTunes store+
- iTunes store works
- downloads works
What does not
* any of the menus or right clicking while compiz is enabled (maintainer's note: please note that does not necessarily denote a fault in wine)
What doesn't work:
* when viewing a podcast iTunes crashes and ouputs this
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x7f007f04 at address 0x7bc406d0 (thread 0020), starting debugger...
* when viewing any video:
any type of video whether it is a podcast, music video, tv show or movie iTunes will crash. I installed K-lite codec pack to help, but it did not do anything at all. I know video playing on its own does work in CX 7 rc2 either in Quicktime that iTunes installed or media player classic.
* when you plug in your iPod this error comes up
"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
note: but of course I knew that would happen as on program startup iTunes complains about the following:
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe": Module not found
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe": Module not found
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe": Module not found
wine: could not load L"C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe": Module not found
Workarounds
What was not tested
unsure, fairly thorough
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
So I give it a Bronze rating for just the music and store stuff and being able to install without any trouble. I would give it Silver once video works and Gold/Platinum once iPod can sync with it

Can someone help me with iTunes 12?
My screen is black. i can't see nothing.
I'm in Ubuntu 16.04, with wine 4.15.

You can't neither use the latest version nor the 64bits.
Follow this tutorial docs.google.com/document/d/1SVgGX9x1hWZzyhEJs5_7UH1K5i7Cuz6B2iuIwm40VrQ/edit
it worked for me

Just download a 12.8.x version and use that, it doesn't have such issue.

The 64-bit install just failed.
How did you get this to work?

Overrode gdiplus and msxml3 (not sure if these are still needed) and added reg keys for CSMT (this was definitely needed). It works decently and I wouldn't call it slow. Without CSMT it was slower and it crashed as per previous comment. Scrolling can be a little jerky sometimes.

Runs a little bit slow, but runs.
When installing iTunes, Windows Version must be set to Windows7, otherwise it will not install.

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.
by Trollwut on Sunday April 16th 2017, 6:57
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?

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.

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

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

by James Zhao on Tuesday December 6th 2016, 22:22
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 any case, I guess bronze/silver at least sounds better than gold.

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!
Matthew
