how to install iTunes on your asus chrome laptop

If you need the iTunes app and for whatever reason, you will need either Microsoft Windows or a Mac. The iTunes app can be a music player, as well as a tool to reset and recover an Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad that's become disabled and needs to be reset.

There is no iTunes app for Chrome.

There is no means to install the iTunes app for some other platform on Chrome.

As for how this is music stuff is organized by Apple, there's no iTunes account, there's "only" an Apple ID. An Apple ID can have iCloud storage (5 GB minimally, and variously more), and can have various purchases and subscriptions, all associated with the Apple ID.

Based on what you've posted so far, there's no also seemingly no remote cache of music here to recover the deleted music files from, either. Any re-transfer from iTunes app means you've been maintaining your music library on Windows or Mac, and we would not be having this discussion were that the case.

Apple devices do not work particularly well in a music environment without a subscription to Apple Music or to iTunes Match (and which hosts that music in Apple iCloud+), or without a local Windows or Mac system to host the music in your library there, or without music purchases made directly from Apple and re-downloaded from the iTunes Store.

Chrome and Linux are fine platforms, but are not ones that Apple presently particularly supports for music, or for iTunes.

If the music deleted is presently offered for sale from Apple, buy it there. If you've already bought it from Apple using the same Apple ID as your device, re-download it from Apple. If not, you will have a task ahead to re-locate your music elsewhere and re-load the iPhone and iPad contents from that. Loading random songs directly onto an isolated iPhone or iPad—not via one of the above-mentioned services, or via iTunes on a Mac or Windows computer—isn't all that easy, and I'm not aware of a supported way to even do that.

An iPhone doesn't have access to iTunes as such.

Let's make sure we're clear about terminology:

• iTunes - a programme on a computer
  • iTunes for Windows
  • iTunes for MacOS (prior to OS Catalina)

Both of the above versions of the programme will give you access to an iPhone. There is no version of iTunes for either Chrome or Linux. MacOS Catalina and later use Finder, not iTunes

• The iTunes Store - where you can buy music:
  • you have access to the iTunes Store where you can buy music directly from your iPhone and download that music directly to the phone
  • using iTunes (the computer programme) you can buy and download music from the iTunes Store to add to your iTunes Library
• iTunes Library - the music (and other media) that makes up your personal choice. Stored on your computer and listed (in the form of a database) in iTunes. You can add music to your iTunes Library from the iTunes Store, other online music store purchases (such as Amazon and Bandcamp), as well as digital music from other sources, and from your own CDs. All this is your Library (also known as your iTunes Library). You can add part or all of your Library to an iPhone, by using iTunes Sync procedure
• iTunes Account - your personal iTunes Store account, where details of your iTunes Store purchases are kept. You can download your purchases again from your account. Your account does not store, or keep note of, music purchased from other sources

That’s a link to Apple Music.

For what you’re using the link to Apple Music on the web for here, great; it’ll work for you.

However…

The iTunes app provides rather more than music playback, such as the ability to reset and re-enable/un-disable an iPhone or iPad, as well as the ability to back up and restore an iPhone or iPad.

The link to the Apple music website cannot perform these functions.

I’m posting this reply only as I expect some folks with ChromeBook hardware and Chrome OS software will find this posting in their searches for iTunes info, looking for a way to reset, or re-enable/un-disable, or back up or restore their devices. Which this won’t provide.

Helpful but still doesn't answer the question. I am assuming the answer is you cannot access your itunes account via a Google Chrome environment? I did try downloading an android app that advertised it would do that function but I quickly deleted it realising it wasn't working. Any other suggestions on how I can access my itunes? I have an IPAD, 2 Iphones (11, 6), Google ACER Chrome book. There are some songs I accidentally deleted from my Iphone that I would like to recover in itunes. Annoying that the iphone doesn't give full access to itunes.
