How to Install Linux Mint. This wikiHow teaches you how to replace your computer's operating system with Linux Mint. You can do this on both Windows and Mac computers. Back up your computer. Since you'll be replacing your computer's. I already have a USB flash stick with Mint 16 (which I've been using live), so I know how to get to the Linux desktop and click the install icon. Where I get lost is with all the partition options because I know very little about partitioning. I do know.some. Linux terminology, but go easy on me:-). My hope/goal: To be able to boot into either Mint or Windows 7 at my choice, and to be able.

Hello Linuxquestions and the many contributors: I have reviewed previous posts on the Linux/iTunes conflicts, and, thanks to the many helpful posts on the subject, have decided to revise my plans for rescuscitation of an IBM G40 Laptop (pre-Lenovo, but amazingly still supported by Lenovo), and I will leave an unprotected Windows XP os on the G40, install iTunes including my complete 12-year accumulation of music and podcasts and selected videos, using the G40 as a server on a residence-wide wifi.
Not an easy task, but workable and a challenge for retirees, right? But I have recently become interested in Raspberry Pi and all its ramifications, including the necessity to learn Linux as a means of working around the Microsoft/Apple prohibitions. I am presently experimenting with 'Kodi' and 'OSMC' media programs on Linux Raspian- versions on Raspi Model B Pi2's.
These both allow importation of music libraries into their respective media players. If successful, the iTunes library will be transferred to a WD Passport to replace the IBM G40. The major benefit of all this monkeying around will be learning Linux coding and a return to life on the command line.
What works Running the 32 bit iTunes 12.7.2 in the 32 bit prefix with ' sh winetricks vcrun2013' and using Windows 7 as my Windows version. I transferred individual tracks as well as an album from my home folder into the prefix C: drive under My Music then added files and folder to Library as normal. I was able to load the songs into my iCloud library sub service. I also have directx 9.43 from sh winetricks which can be found in the Install Windows DLL or component sub menu in the GUI. The store loads and allows previews, but I haven't tried purchasing anything.
What does not Videos absolutely do not run; they crash immediately. Quicktime could be an alternative to use for a workaround, but I haven't tested it. Workarounds See what works What was not tested I never tried to purchase anything from the store. I never tried to sync or even plug in my iPhone into my computer as other tests show that wine isn't ready for that quite yet.
Hardware tested Graphics:. GPU: Intel. Driver: open source Additional Comments The program runs decently enough to play and add music, however from other tests I've read. We can't sync any iDevices at the moment.
Also the look of the program is somewhat lackluster with vertical lines running through some parts, but won't inhibit use. Also the search function recognizes keystrokes a bit slow. Odb32.dll error fixed ( For iTunes 7.7) by on Saturday July 26th 2008, 4:21 Thanks to the AppDB team for the advice, downloading winetricks and installing MDAC25 fixed iTunes for me. For others with this problem: get winetricks using: wget move winetricks to /usr/local/bin and set as executable run winetricks by typing 'winetricks' at the console, choose MDAC25 and install NOTE: during this process I found out to NEVER run wine or winetricks as root/sudo.
This breaks.wine ownership. Sorry if some of this is basic stuff but I'm new to linux in general, figured others might find it useful. 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? 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: 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!
