How do you put music on an iphone without using itunes?

Randrom :
Itunes is acting up for me, is there any way to bypass itunes and put my music on my iphone directly, and not have it mess up my phone?

stugots343 :
No!! The ipod/ iphone is designed to run off of itunes any other method would result in problems. Uninstall itunes, than reinstall it. That should fix any problems you might have. And it won't erase any of your songs or anything.Plus if you could put music on a nother way than all your apps,contacts, pic would be lost.

You dont the ipod and iphone are designed to be loaded by the itunes only!! adding files to the memory will NOT make them play as it won't update the hidden library files.





reinstall itunes by downloading it on the computer you want to run it on from www.apple.com/itunes. & restart.



also check that you have the proper full power 500mA capable USB2 ports (most laptops only have 100ma ports and that causes problems).



The ipod is designed to work with and be the slave to itunes on the computer to which its paired.



If you do not pair a ipod to a computer you cannot alter its settings.



If you pair your ipod to a new computer it overwrites what's on it.



Simply dragging music onto an ipod does NOT make that music playable it then acts as hard disk. To make the music playable you MUST use itunes to sync with it as only itunes can put the music files in the correct file names (not the same as on the computer) in hidden folders and create the hidden indexes for them to be playable.



When you pair the ipod to a computer it erases ALL the previous library and tracks and replaces it with what the current computer want it to.



if you want to erase the ipod you select RESTORE form the ipod's tab in itunes then it re formats and re installs the ipods firmware resetting everything to default values and removing the lock (except for the touch which asks for the code to allow this)



the ipod needing a master player to sync with is NOT unique to apple Creative, Zune, Sony al have one of one sort or another.
