One of the recent updated versions of Windows- Windows 7- is also capable of hosting iTunes. iTunes is so popular that it is used by many users, even if they do not own a iPod.Īlthough iTunes was designed for Mac OS, it is also functional with Windows. iTunes users can edit and store the song information in various playlists, rate songs or albums according to one’s preference, buy songs or podcasts from a built-in music store, etc. iTunes is highly favoured with users throughout the world as this software allows a user other options other than simply managing audio and video files. iTunes is basically designed for MAC OS X v10.4 or later, but it can also run with Windows XP or later. iTunes is used to synchronise and manage music and video files onto the iPod. With the advent of Apple’s iPod, iTunes, the music and video player for the iPod has gained immense popularity. Apple really doesn't make it easy on Windows users.Install iTunes on Windows. Ridiculous that I should have to do this.

Mklink /d "c:\Program Files\QuickTime" "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime" Hit the Start Menu, type cmd.exe and Right Click then choose Run as Administrator.

So, before I ran iTunesSetup again, I needed to "lie" to the installed by making a directory link to where QuickTime actually got installed. Since both apps are 32-bit apps running on 64-bit Vista, they are each installed to "c:\program files (x86)." Apparently iTunes has hardcoded "c:\program files" so iTunesSetup goes looking for QuickTime in "c:\program files\quicktime" rather that where it really ended up. However, I hadn't put iTunes on my new Vista 64-bit system, and I was shocked to see the iTunes installer fail to install saying "cannot find Quicktime." A little file system sniffing solved the problem. We're going on a trip tomorrow so I needed to get my iPod setup quickly and sync'ed beforehand.
