Hi Mike,
I ran into a similar situation with a friend earlier. After much
searching and trying, the only option that worked for her was to install
a WinXP VM. So we installed VirtualBox on her Debian install and
installed WinXP on it. We patched it to SP2 and then were able to
install iTunes and connect successfully.
If you try this solution and run into issues, I'd be happy to share how
we fixed ours.
Sincerely,
