Can I download MAC Software onto a Linux Computer?
So a couple months ago I bought a computer and it came with Linux software. I love Linux and how free it is, but I'm having issues with iTunes and being able to connect my iPhone to iTunes. Since Apple doesn't even have an iTunes which is downloadable onto Linux I had to do it via wine and PlayOnLinux but even then I can only get an old version which doesn't support iCloud. When I plug my iPhone into my computer it isn't recognizing it what so ever, and it will not connect to iTunes. If anyone has a solution for this then please let me know.
However, this is my main question. I used to have a Macbook and I got MAC OS X Snow Leopard system with it and I still have the download disc of the software. I was just wondering if I put this into my Linux based computer will the software run and will it work okay? I don't want to do it in case it damages my computer and is unable to run as the computer is new. Does anyone know if this will work and if it is worth doing? If there's any steps that are best to take? Etc.
The computer I have is hand built by a computer specialist - very good computer. It came with Linux Ubuntu so that I was free to do or download whatever. I know that apple are really funny and can be dodgy about where their stuff will work and where it won't, hence the question.
If you are talking about the OS itself, maybe. Google "hackintosh" and read up. Your computer might support it.
If you are talking about applications, maybe. OS-X is a version of Unix, and virtually any Unix program can be made to work on Linux (if you have the sources). However, there probably already are Linux versions of those programs, so look around on the Internet first for whichever programs interest you.
- What is the best virtual machine software for Linux? I use Linux Kubuntu and I hated virtual box it didn't work hardly at all I tried to run iTunes in it and connect my iPhone and it wouldnt recognize it or anything. I would like to use XP as the virtual machine OS.
- Is there a software to transfer iPhone content onto a mac computer? I had to reset my Macbook Pro so there's nothing on it, but I still have all my music, apps, etc on my iPhone 5s. Is there any software that can be downloaded or purchased to take all iPhone content and put it into itunes? Not all of my music was purchsaed from itunes so I can't just redownload everything.
- If I download a payed app on my mac, can I download it for free on my iPhone? Just wondering=) Its a diary app. "My wonderful days". Not that it matters but I thought maybe because the entries are on icloud
- I can't download any jailbreak software on my computer? I've been trying to jailbreak my IPhone. I've tried a couple of different programs, but when I click download. The bottom of my computer says that it can't be downloaded. Can anyone help?
