  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    How do i update my apps on my iphone using itunes 11.0.0.163

    I click update on the app or try to purchase an app and it asks for my password. I enter my password, the icon spins and then just goes back to saying update or purchase. I have tried resetting my settings and shutting my phone off and nothing has seemed to work.

  • Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

    Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
    I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
    If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer.  See:
    iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
    Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
    - Transfering iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

  • HT4623 How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?

    How to downgrade iPhone from ios6 to ios5 without jailbreaking?
    It is uncomfortable to use Appstore and uninformative Apple maps.
    I regret, that I updated my iOS5, can I get it back?

    Sadly, Apple is amazingly good at keeping users from downgrading an iPhone. For some reason, a prior update (5.1.1) bricked my 3GS, and that's how I learned the hard way how firmly Apple had control of the upgrade/downgrad process. I find that annoying, as well as the fact that Apple "pushes" (figureatively and literally) updates on users, many of whom simply update immediately, without realizing there could be a downside. I've been amazed at how many non-techy iPhone using friends have complained to me about maps, and they wish they had never updated to iOS 6.
    Anyway, I'm still using iOS 5 on my iPhone 4S, as I just feel too attached to my good old Google-based Map app (and the web version of Google Maps is really very different than the App version -- I tried it, thinking I would finally update my iPhone, but was really dissatisfied with the web version). I do know iOS 6 is superior in many ways, but for now, I am just that attached to my good old Map app.

  • I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

    I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

    If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

  • How to copy photos from PC to PS Touch Using iTunes

    With my iPad connected to my PC I used iTunes to copy selected photos to my iPad. Specifically, I went to Apps and then scrolled down to the File Sharing section, where PS Touch is listed. I used the Add button to actually copy the photos. iTunes shows those photos list for my iPad for PS Touch later on.
    But within the PS Touch on my iPad those photos do not appear. They are not in my Camera Roll.
    Where are they on my iPad and how do I access them?
    TIA.

    Hello, i'm a pstouch user on iPad.
    This feature missing me a lot because I often need to import files from my desktop to pstouch without having to put it first in iPhoto, and then syncronise iPad with iTunes to have this file available in pstouch.
    Of course I go to the other direction to save my work on my computer's desktop, the file appears in iTunes and then I drag it on the desktop to classify it on my computer without the need to syncronise it with iPhoto.... Why do not allow the 2 direction ?
    I don't use Creative Cloud.
    For example, Photoforge2 allow this by showing the "document folder" (where files go when you drag it in the shared folder of this app, in iTunes).
    Is there news about this ?
    Thanks you.

  • I've recently brought an iPhone 5c and I want to transfer all my pictures and phone numbers over from my old 4s without using iTunes how can I do this as there's already a iPhone synced to the laptop I would use to back it up

    Just need some help. As the question says I need to transfer all my numbers pictures videos onto my new iPhone 5c from my 4s but as the laptop I would use has already got my partners iPhone linked to it I can't back it up as it just syncs all there stuff onto it to. How else can I do this without linking it to the computer?

    What does the family WiFi have to do with iCloud? iCloud is on Apple's servers.
    If it is a shared computer what you can do is create a new user ID on the computer. Log in with the new ID. This will give you a "clean" iTunes library that you can use for backing up the the old phone and syncing the new phone.

  • How can I check my phone's UDID without using iTunes?

    Because I updated my iPhone to the latest update of iOS7 beta 2 and I found that my iPhone could not be activiated because I am not a developer. I am now seeking help from Apple Developers to add my iPhone's UDUD to their account temporary in oder to make my phone works again. At this moment, I cannot use my phone and I need it urgently. Can anybody help me? Please!

    You can try registering, but if you are going to do that, you will no longer be able to get assistance here. The developer's program is a closed program and you are bound by a Non Disclosure Agreement not to discuss anything about the software. Violations will result in your developer status being revoked.
    Also, they will tell you in the developer's program not to put the beta software on a device that you use on a daily basis, since it is for testing purposes only. It is designed for developers to use on devices they have in the shop to test their apps and other software. You say that you need your phone, so this is not a device you want to put beta software on.
    You need to realize your mistake and move on.
