iTunes on wine suddenly stopped working

na flag

Around January of 2023, iTunes suddenly returned this error when I try to access my Apple Music. This is from the terminal output of wine

CertGetCertificateChain failed with error 0x80090304

It then shows me the error message visually in a message box in iTunes saying

Temporary Error completing your request. Unknown error -50

I have tried everything.

  • I tried downgrading from wine 7.0 to wine 6, and wine 5. That gave the same results
  • I tried upgrading to wine 8.0.1. That did not fix the issue
  • I tried installing iTunes again in a different wine prefix. Same error
  • I tried installing iTunes 12.5, 12.6 in 32 bit. That did not fix it
  • I tried installing a older version of iTunes all the way down to 12.4. Same results
  • I tried grabbing a backup of my hard drive and pulled the working prefix off of my backup. That gave the same error.
  • I tried installing DLLs using winetricks and overriding the default wine libraries
  • I tried using a VPN (just in case they shadow banned my IP for some reason). Still nothing
  • I tried using PlayOnLinux. Same error

I have found other people saying that it is the issue of the SSL library in wine and how iTunes switched to a different authentication system, but they did that years ago so that should not be the issue. To further support that, I was using it for 2 years with no issues. No one has complained in January or even recently that this was an issue. It seems that I am the only one. What can I do to fix this?

I know that there is a web version of iTunes but the API only gives you 64kbps audio. I would really like to get it to work again.

What was working before was version 12.6.1.25 64-bit with no DLL overrides and no workarounds.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
