Itunes - What is it's function?

[Guest George]

Evidently I have an old version of Itunes (4.2.0.74) which came with my

computer purchased three years ago. I am being prompted to download an

updated version of the program which I can't seem to do properly.

 

What is the function of Itunes? If I uninstall it, will I notice any change

in my day to day system operation? I rarely use the audio on my computer -

keep it turned off except for the occasional holiday e-mail.

 

Any basic help to understand what Itunes is all about appreciated.

iTunes is primarily used with an iPod. It came bundled with Apple QuickTime.

If you don't have an iPod you can safely remove it.

You can read about iTunes here:

 

http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/

 

If you don't use iTunes, then just uninstall it. If you ever want it

again you can always install the latest version.

I doubt it. You're apparenly clueless for the most part and that

should insulate you.

Unk

"I doubt it" would have been a sufficient reply. No need to get nasty.

Hello Ron,

 

Believe it or not, I did google iTunes and read the information at the

various sites also scanned through the questions and answers pertaining to

iTunes. None of them answered my concern - i.e. that uninstalling iTunes

might adversely affect the smooth operation of my computer. I thought that

since iTunes had come loaded on my computer that it might be somehow

integrated into the XP system.

 

In any event, the answers/comments of this forum have given me the

confidence to uninstall without consequent problems.

 

Many thanks to you, "Fuzzy Logic" "Malke" and "Uncle Grumpy" for the good

advice.
