How do I get photos/music from my pc into my phone?

I thought it was using media manager which I downloaded to my computer desktop, but then when I try to download the "free" app to my phone it keeps asking me to "accept" or decline a $2.99 charge for 25MB of storage. ***!
I'm sure I don't have to pay to get my photos and music from my computer into my phone, so how do I do it??
Thanks!

Thank you sir!
Which drive should be used for what? I see an I-Drive and an J-Drive.
I saved some photos from an email attachment sent to my phone and I see those went to the I-Drive ... on the J Drive I see a folder called MEDIA so I dropped a file in there to test it and I see that is an SD card. Is each one for something specific? i.e. photos to the i-drive, video to the j-drive (sd card) or vice versa or doesn't it matter?
Also I dropped an music album into the MP3 folder on the I-Drive which is where a few random music albums that came with the player were located, but when I go to the MUSIC app on the droid, I only see the random albums, not the newly dropped album from my own collection.
I just want to also be clear, is there another "media manager" program that will make all this easier but not cost me a monthly fee, which I think is ridiculous?
Thanks for the help!

How do I get my music from my Ipod into my Itunes account on my computer

How do I transfer my Ipod's music to my new computer? I feel like my Ipod (6 years old) is about to die and I need to get the music from my Ipod onto Itunes so when I buy a new Ipod I can still have my library from the old Ipod. Any Ideas out there?
THANKS

How do I get my music from my iphone into itunes library

I have tried everything I can see to get my music from my iphone to my itunes library?
I've just got a new iphone 4 and want all my music put onto my new phone but again I don't know what else to do.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Everything should be on your computer, just sync it to the new iphone.

How do I get the music from my iPod into my iTunes library on a new computer without erasing all the songs on my iPod?

My itunes library is empty on my new computer, but I have a full library on my ipod. How do I "reverse" sync? I don't see an option in itunes to put all the info from my ipod onto my computer. I see it the other way, which would then erase all the data on my ipod. Help!!

How do i get purchased music from my ipod into my itunes?

I am trying to put the music i just purchased on my Ipod into my Itunes but can't figure it out

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select transfer purchases.

I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive. I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music. I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad. How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

How do i get the music on my ipod into my itunes library on new computer

how do i get the music from my ipod into my itunes library on new computer

If they are all purchases from the iTunes Store you can transfer the purchases from your iPod to the library by following the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

HT1386 How do I get my music from cd's that is on my ipod to my library in itunes? Got a new computer, thought icloud would help but it has erased anything is not purchased from my library.

How do I get my music from cd's that is on my opod to my library in itunes? I got a new computer, installed itunes and thought syncing would work. It only synced purchases. Any music I had from cd's is not in my library anymore. Then I turned on the cloud and it erased those tracks from my other computer as well. Help please.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

How do i get my music from ipod onto new computer when old computer died

my old computer died unexpectedly and now i have a new one ...how do i get my music from ipod to itunes...i don't want to lose it since i have already paid for it...

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to sync automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
And there is no need to SHOUT.
