How To Use Apple Apps On Pc

Buy or download items from the iTunes Store on PC

You can buy music, movies, TV shows, and audiobooks from the iTunes Store and then listen to them on your computer or your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can also buy items from your Wish List.

You can set up iTunes to automatically download items you purchase from the iTunes Store to multiple computers and devices. This way, all your computers and devices are kept up to date with the same new content, even if you don't sync them.

Depending on how you set your Store preferences, buying or downloading items may require a password.
