dimesio We may be getting at crossed purposes here. What I have done is firstly install Wine from the Synaptic Package Manager in Ubuntu. Secondly went to Apple and downloaded iTunes. When asked what did I want to do with it I opted to run it with Wine. This now displays in my Applications > Wine > Programs > iTunes. Have I done things right in the first instance ? If so I will seek further advice from Philipp Weissenbacher and hope that he can assist. I am not too bothered about Quicktime so I will see if I can remove it and hope this will help improve things. Once again my thanks for all your assistance
