I have tried to download iTunes onto my windows XP laptop with mozilla and have been unsuccessful. Every time I try to download it is initially canceled and then when I repeat it it seems to download taking several minutes but doesn't really download. Mozilla download window shows it on the list with the generic not downloaded icon. I have tried multiple things.

Do you have any better luck if you try downloading using your Internet Explorer, heather?
My Internet Explorer is locked by the content advisor with a password I apparently do not know or remember. So I can't open Internet Explorer. I should probably figure that out as well.
Firefox 4 downloads iTunes just fine, in fact the first thing I do is download Firefox with IE and then never use it again. 🙂
It sounds like to me your XP machine is in severe need of professional "geek services" you might even want to consider a new machine with Windows 7.
It's really not a bad OS coming from Microsoft and all, you'll be quite pleased I think.
You just need to keep in mind to get:
1: A 64 bit dual core, pretty decent processor. Quad core preferred. Score 7,000 or more on this chart.

2: 4GB of RAM standard, expandable to 8GB or even 16GB or more if possbile.
3: For video games you need a decent descrete video card scoring 1000 or more (for a laptop, higher for a desktop) on this chart.

4: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit (so you can use VirtualPC to run XP mode (free download from Microsoft)
5: 1 TB drive 7,200 RPM.
My Internet Explorer is locked by the content advisor with a password I apparently do not know or remember. So I can't open Internet Explorer. I should probably figure that out as well.
Are you able to do the download if you install a different browser, like Chrome or Safari, heather?

( ... Seems an option worth pursuing prior to considering buying an entirely new PC ...)
Thanks for your suggestions. After much fiddling around I have found that I had to change my Internet options in the control panel so that I could download such files.
🙂 Excellent news, heather.
Did you have to add the edgesuite location to your trusted sites? (If you'll pardon the nosy question. Doublechecking because I've seen that work before once or twice with IE download trouble.)
How do you download iTunes with Mozilla?
