That being said thanks for the experience on chromebooks they have a way to go.

And eventually, that leads to incompatibility between two distinct ecosystems created by Google and Apple.

Yes, I am talking about running iTunes on Chromebook and how you can get it working.

Well, in this article, I bring you a detailed guide on how to install iTunes on Chromebook.

We will also discuss the performance of iTunes on Chromebooks so you know what to expect from the app.

To give you an overview, we are using Wine app which is popular for running Windows apps on Linux systems.

In tandem, we will install the Windows version of iTunes on our Chromebook through the Linux container.

Now having said all of that, lets go through the steps without further delay.

We have written detailed guides separately so follow the above-linked articles and you will be all set for the next step.

Keep in mind, the 64-bit version does not work properly on Chromebook and displays a black window.

So, download this specific 32-bit version of iTunes from here.

Make sure to change yourusername to the actual username assigned to your Chromebook.

For example, if your email ID is email protected then your username will be abc123.

However, when you click on it, the shortcut does not open iTunes due to an incorrect file path.

Here, you will find iTunes.desktop file which is the shortcut that we need to edit.

Finally, open iTunes from the App Drawer and this time, it should launch perfectly fine.

Its quite expected as you are running iTunes inside a Windows container which in turn, is running inside a Linux container.

Further, despite Linux gaining USB support on Chrome OS, iTunes was unable to detect iPhone and could not sync the library.

Partly, its because Apple does not officially support Linux connectivity for iDevices.

So, neither you can access your media library locally nor through the cloud.

All in all, iTunes on Chromebook is not a good experience and you should look for other options.

While the installation process is not that simple, you can definitely try it on your device.

Apart from that, on the performance front, iTunes didnt work well but do give it a shot and see how well it fares on your Chromebook.

If you are facing some trouble while making it work, do comment down and let us know the issue.

And whenever we find a proper build of iTunes working successfully on Chromebooks, we will definitely let you know.
