I downloaded itunessetup.exe from the apple site and put it in the home folder 
I rightclick/run with WINE and it opens a tab/program/rectangle at the bottom
(panel, I think it's called) that is titled "wine windows program
loader" when I click on it, nothing happens and it stays minimized.  after 
a few moments, it goes away and i'm back to square one.
