Software :: Uninstall Itunes So That Can Re-install Itunes ?
Mar 22, 2010
I just got a new iphone (yay me) but later realised that as I have Ubuntu, it is very difficult to get itunes installed on it.
Having said that, I've got Wine installed and attempted to download itunes 7.something and even though the whole process worked, it appears that when I try to access itunes the whole screen goes black and then if I scroll across the screen with my mouse it lights up various bits of what's behind the black screen and then after a while it tells me that it cannot access itunes at all...
So I thought, perhaps I should uninstall itunes, but in doing that it still appeared in my wine folder, so I uninstalled wine, which still appeared in my Applications list, so I edited my applications list and then tried to re-install wine from scratch (I know I sound dumb already - but I was desperate ok!!!). So now wine is installed on my computer somewhere but it now doesn't show up in my Applications list at all and I can't seem to get it back on there - any suggestions there would also help...
But my main objective is to try and uninstall itunes properly (maybe from the terminal window - but I don't know how to even do that) and attempt to re-install it to see if it works again.
I need to do this in order to sync my iphone. Cannot seem to do it with Amarok as I don't have Installer.Apps on my iphone, and cannot get THAT without syncing it with itunes to begin with....

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my husband's laptop. He insists that I install iTunes. Wine comes with the 10.04 release. I downloaded iTunes 9.2.1.5(32x) and it appeared to install ok. It said it was successful. However, immediately upon the 'installation successful' notification, another window popped up that said, "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
Whenever I try to open iTunes, this error message pops up. I used the WINE uninstall option for iTunes, however, the window pops up giving the option to either repair or uninstall, and when I click uninstall it appears to go through the process and even says it did - only to discover the fine print telling me that it "installed" the program sucessfully. This is very frustrating. I cannot seem to get the program to uninstall.
I found a thread that said to delete the files manually, but I don't know how to do this. I need to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it and make it work.

I'm looking for the best iTunes alternative that has almost these features:
- being able to edit the track's name/album (songs in the iPod)
- adjusting volume of tracks
I'm currently using Rhythmbox. I have tried Exaile and Amarok just doesn't work for me. I can't recall what made me turn away from Banshee, too. I'm not really into Wine so installing iTunes itself is not viable.

Before I developed an interest in Linux I used Windows XP (yeah I know, I know don't rub it in!) Now I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and I really need to use ITunes if possible.All of my music files (over 100 Gb) are in my iTunes library. I don't look forward to having to reboot to windows to listen to my tunes and download songs ,vids and podcasts to my iPod Touch

I'm thinking about switching from Windows to Linux when I get a new laptop. As far as I can tell, the only software I use that doesn't run on Linux or have a Linux equivalent is iTunes. Here are the tasks that I currently use iTunes for:
Syncing my iPhone a few times a week (for podcasts, keeping smart playlists up-to-date etc); Downloading podcasts; Using Home Sharing to sync purchases to another machine on my home network. Would I still be able to perform these tasks using iTunes in a Windows VM?

I have ubuntu on my laptop, i haven't updated it to 10.4 yet but i've only had it on here for a couple weeks. Anyways, i plugged my ipod into the computer and had it working with rhythmbox just fine. However, when i unplugged my ipod, i looked at it and there are no songs, absolutely nothing. When i plug it back in, it shows on rhythmbox that i have all my songs back...but the second i take it out there are no songs. I don't know what this problem is, but basically i just want itunes back :[ I guess theres something about getting a virtual machine to be able to run itunes with? that sounds nice...but is it super complicated?

I want to install itunes. I'm sure someone will already have done this so can you please tell me how to. I've tried the obvious, but no joy. My os is Fedora 12. Thank you.
The 'obvious' was to go to itunes site and download the program, but I was unable to do so, it appears not to be compatible with linux.

I want to listen to some messages on a website: http:http://thegospelcoalition.org/resources/a/Introduction-to-the-Christ-Centered-Model-and-an-Introduction-to-the-Christ// but they are Itunes. How would I listen to these on Debian? I tried to play them and it didn't work: gxine opened, but failed to start; I right clicked on the listen button, but didn't get any other options.

I read somewhere that you could use W.I.N.E to run iTunes in Linux (In my case, Ubuntu 10.10) I installed W.I.N.E, and downloaded the iTunes .exe, I was just wondering how to install iTunes in W.I.N.E.

Just put my second customer on desktop Cent OS 5.4 (x64 this time). The only thing I can not substitute for is iTunes. All he wants to do it to control his iPod (he really does not listen to music on his computer).

A user has brought me a box with a corrupted other os on it (is not bootable). I have booted to a live cd and am copying off the user data, but I'm concerned about thier itunes database. I checked google, but all the backup restore options seem to require a working itunes install.
what files do you all usually back up to transfer itunes info to a new build?

I was using the gnome-shell for a little bit to get accustomed to the coming change in march but I removed it. Shortly after, I decided to update my wine, and get the lastest itunes.exe. I save the exe, allowed executing permissions and ran the install. IT WORKED. I did not allow it to be my default player, and I did not allow autorun. whenever i open it says installation error but I hit ok and I am graced with itunes. I still can sync my iphone with it, I guess it can't recognize it.
occasional crashes when I get click happy but playback works most of the time. some times i have to logout in order to try it again. authorized itunes purchases work thru it.

whether iTunes will work through WINE in Ubuntu? Or is it not that simple? The reason I ask is because I have one iPod left (my wifes) and I need itunes for this, but I want to be on Linux from now on. Am I stuck? Will I always need windows? Or can I really escape the circle of evil licensed software! (who doesn't love some over dramatics

What in your opinions are the best iTunes alternatives?
I plan on getting an iPod touch soon, and need to be able to...
-Change settings (maybe)
-Sync Music
-Sync Games (IMPORTANT)
-Sync Movies
-Be able to categorize videos into TV shows or movies and by season.
If there isnt something that cant do all of that, getting itunes 10 to work on Wine/PlayonLinux, Because it installs, but just looks very messed up when I open it.
