I have wine installed on my computer, and i installed iTunes, and TIConnect. i soon found out that i didnt have any access to my usb ports. is there a way to give me access to them? I really need this. i have several things depentant on both the USB access port, and a program installed with wine.

VirtualBox provides USB support, use that instead. You will need a legal copy of Windows.

Wine will generally not work with your USB devices, sorry.

You can use most Linux media players (Rhythmbox, Banshee, Amarok) to transfer songs and videos to your iPod, but obviously if you want to use the iTunes store you are SOL.

Looks like some people did somehow get Wine + iTunes to work. It's for an older version but might still be worth a look.

Why don't you just stick with Windows? Using Wine is like living in denial unless it's for a specific application.

no2pencil, If you remember, i said in one of my previous posts that you posted on, that i screwed up, and am stuck with Slackware/Ubuntu. i realy dont have the money to get an entirely new computer, and if i install win7 onto the computer i have right now, it would be extremely slow.

Tom9729 thank you for your help. i am currently downloading it

Just a heads up but if your computer would have trouble running Windows then running it in a virtual machine isn't going to work very well.

What kind of specs do you have now? I realize not everyone has money to spend on things like this, but some more RAM is really cheap and can really improve the performance of your computer.

i have 502 mb. it was good until my windows xp HDD was formatted. i dont have the installation CD because the dude forgot to give me it. i guess i didnt realize when i downloaded it that i needed a new installation... oh well. i will probably get the CD over the summer.
