How/why would I use iTunes app on iPhone?

I enjoy using my iPod app on my iPhone, and regularly sync it with iTunes on my MacBook. Works great.
What confuses me is the iTunes icon on the home screen of my iPhone. What's it for? When would I use it? How does it relate to the setup of iTunes on my Mac?
Thanks.

What's it for?
To buy music, videos & ringtones from the iTunes Store directly on your phone.
When would I use it?
When you want to buy music, videos & ringtones directly on your phone, instead of buying on your computer and then syncing them to your phone.
How does it relate to the setup of iTunes on my Mac?
It doesn't. It's an iPhone version of the iTunes Store section of the iTunes application on your computer.
Have you actually tried loading it and exploring it?
All this is explained in the manual:

Hi Rashid,

Setting up syncing
Tutorial:
Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
USB syncing
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side:
Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example, if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
What you can sync
Applications
Audio content—music, podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U content
Bookmarks
Books
Contacts
Calendars
Movies and TV shows
Photos
Notes
Documents (File Sharing apps only)
Ringtones
Additional Information
The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP) and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the user's guide or see this article.

In VERY RARE circumstances, this may indicate a hardware failure.

How can 2 people use itunes in the same household? we both have iphone 4 and separate id but the same itunes? pleasehelp

how can two people use itunes in the same household? i had a iphone before so alreday had an itunes account now me and my husband have upgraded and we now both have them. he has set up a username and i have mine yet when he logs in he seems to just get my account? please help

Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, you'll also have to email your notes to yourself so they can be recreated in the new account as they cannot be migrated.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

I have been using Itunes Apps for some time. Today I signed to Itunes to get Apps updated. Apple said I must update my account. I did that with a new password. Itunes said invalid support. Now what can I do?

What do you mean "invalid support"? What EXACTLY did it say? Did it say you had an unsupported SIM after updating the firmware on your phone?

I lost my ipad 2 and I have also an iphone ! I used the app "Find iphone", it gave me the localisation of my iphone only. How to find my ipad?

I lost my ipad 2 and I have also an iphone ! I used the app "Find iphone", it gave me the localisation of my iphone only. How to find my ipad?

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to the net, then you can try to track it. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. Or - on a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app and log into the icloud account. Note: The Find My iPhone **app** does not turn on the service, you can only do that through Settings>icloud.
If the device is listed as "offline", then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

How to clear cache memory used by APP in iphone

How to clear memory consumed by apps in iphone? For example,google app size is 85mb!but now it takes 427mb! Now i want to clear them.Most of the APP are unneccessary consuming more memory.There should be someway to clear the cache memory of app.Please help!

Well, the app programmer does not consider the saved data "unnecessary" - it's there to perform some function of the app. The Google app, for example, saves your searches so it doesn't have to use data every time.
However, in the Google App itself tap the Settings icon, Privacy, Browsing. You can enable or disable "on-device history" and also clear the on-device history. That's what I meant when I said that some apps have settings to manage their cache.

Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
I just finished another "experiment".
I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
Thanks
Jakob Peterhänsel wrote:
All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

Why i cant use facebook on my iphone 3gs

why i cant use facebook on my iphone 3gs?

If you want to use the Facebook app and you don't have an older version saved in your iTunes library, then you won't be able to download it on that device. Either use Safari to access Facebook or get a device that can run iOS 7 and install Facebook.

How to I transfer my Itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac?

How do i transfer my itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac? My old laptop died so I am unable to access my itunes on my computer but would like to retrieve the songs I purchased previously.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup copy is critical. If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then you should get the option to merge the data.
