Need Alternate Download Link for iTunes

Greetings,

I have a frustrating dilemma that I am hoping to find assistance for. I offer computer support to a small rural community. Most of the people here are elderly and using dial-up access or a very slow DSL service.

Here is my frustration - my computer is Linux, my Mac is an older very slow G3 that mostly sits in the corner. I would love to use my Linux computer to download all of the Apple/Mac updates for my clients but the latest versions of iTunes and Safari are inaccessible because the Apple link will not let me access downloads for Mac (for some inexplicable reason it thinks that I am on a Windows computer).

So where can I find a legitimate download link for the latest versions of iTunes and Safari?

This morning I've downloaded almost 1GB of updates for clients I will be seeing over the next few days but I won't be able to update either iTunes or Safari.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Hi, Gail,

I see you found and answer.

For the future, though, even if your browser is being registered as being on Windows (probably happening since Apple doesn't have an iTunes for Linux), you should still be able to download iTunes for Mac. When you get to the Windows iTunes download page, scroll down and look down the left-hand side of the page. You should see a link that says "Get iTunes for Macintosh". Click that and you should be taken to the iTunes for Mac download page where you can download the Mac installer. It works from my Windows system, anyway.

As to Safari, you should be able to get the latest versions here:

http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari3_2_1_forLeopard

http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari3_2_1_forTiger

For other versions, click on the Support tab above, go to Support Downloads, and search for "Safari".

Regards.
