Hi
ReplyDeleteI installed playonlinux on ubuntu 12.04 LTS
But in the list of the multimedia files, there is no itunes to install.
There is no result put in “itunes” in the search field of playonlinux.
I tried to install it with a install file from itunes.com, but it won’t work.
Where I can get a file to install itunes ?
Thank you
it wont find itunes when i write it in the tool bar... :(
ReplyDeleteCheck the box "Include: Testing" and then search for iTunes.

ReplyDeletei can only find itunes 10, when i look under Testing
ReplyDeletebut this itunes has no Usb-device
and it isn't possible to install
Horrible guide. Missing steps, outdated. Itunes 10 is around according to it and has no Usb device or an alternative set up option.
