So, after we sent the advanced owners of the iPhone and iPad to go for a blog, we will continue with you, dear beginner users.
We find the downloaded file and double-click on it, run the installer. We respond in the affirmative to a security warning.
A menu opens, we read (if possible :)) a short reference information, and click on.
Select the options:
- Add a shortcut to the desktop - everything is clear, leave a tick.
- Use as a standard player - here I recommend unchecking, because as a media player, iTunes is still rather slow and “heavy”. But that's my personal opinion.
- Language - you can choose any, I’ll leave Russian with your permission :)
- Well, we select the folder for installing iTunes, here we will also leave everything by default. Click next ...
We are waiting for a certain amount of time ...

If you do not know what is iTunes and why is it needed at all ordinary userthen you came to the address. Because today we will deal with iTunes for desktops and laptops. In Russian, the name of the program sounds like - " Aityuns", But on the household slang of the Apple community it is called -" Tuna».
The possibilities of iTunes are very wide, so this material will be considered only for novice users of the iPhone, iPad and iPod.
What is iTunes for PC
It is very difficult to say in a word what iTunes is, because it is not just a media player, it is a whole multimedia complex. This program is intended for all owners iPhone phones, iPad tabletsiPods and Apple TVs.
The need to install iTunes on your computer appears from the moment you purchase one of the above devices. As soon as you have purchased, for example, an Apple iPhone, you will immediately start looking for this very iTunes, you will need it in order to launch your new phone for the first time, authorize it and perform the first setup. An example of a primary activation procedure can be found in the article -.
Where to download iTunes for free
In search of free Tuna, an unknowing user often tries to download iTunes from torrents or from some sites of incomprehensible content. Some even offer to poison SMS to get the iTunes activation code - all this is complete nonsense.
To download normal iTunes in Russian, you need to visit the official Apple website. Detailed instructions on downloading and installing Aityuns on your computer or laptop we described earlier:
Before installing, check out what versions of Tuna are available.
ITunes versions for computers
The first version of iTunes was developed by Apple in 2001 and is being updated to this day; at the time of this writing, version 11.0.5 is available.
The subsection says "for computers", but there is also iTunes for iOS, it is a standard application and comes in the operating system of any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, it is not installed separately in iOS, but is updated by itself, along with.
What is iTunes for? Synchronization process
After iTunes is installed, let's figure out what it is for, with activation and the first setup, we have already figured it out above. The main purpose of the iTunes program is to fill the iPhone (or other Apple gadget) with content, that is, record music, movies, pictures, books, games and programs using a computer.
To download everything you need is used. As an example, here are a few iPhone sync instructions:
Aityuns and instructions will help you to complete all of the above actions, although no, not all, to fully work with the video you need.
The fact is that just taking a file and uploading it directly from a computer, for example, simply cannot work on your iPhone or iPad, for this you need iTunes. Everything is done through this Tuna. Many users, of course, do not like this venture with the “intermediary Aityuns”, but apparently Apple has not yet come up with another way to combat piracy.
ITunes itself for computers may eventually die out when deeper integration into the Web occurs. We already see some steps today - the iCloude web service is an example of this. But for now, iTunes is still relevant.
How to update iTunes
I hope after reading all of the above you will become a little clearer what iTunes is and what it is for.
