Is it possible to import music into iPad without using iTunes?

Do any of of you know whether or not it is possible to import music into iPad, like when you can import pictures, without the use of iTunes ( I don't have a computer)? I have music on my phone and on USB flash drives. Thnx

If you are in America then you can download your past iTunes music purchases via the store (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). But no, you can't import from flash drives (the camera connection kit can only import photos and videos) or from an iPhone.

Powerbook G4 so no itunes 11 for my new iphone .Is there a program I can use to Import Music to Iphone without using itunes ?

Hi i just got a new Iphone 5c and my itunes says i need 11 to reconize the iphone , of course having a powerbook g4 i can not upgrade to itunes 11 .
I got all my other stuff from the cloud to my new phone except over 3000 songs that were from cd's on my computer.
Ive been looking for a program i can use to import the music to my new phone , but everything i try wont install , i think its cause of my g4 .
anyone know of a program i can use for this ? Unfortunatly i cant afford a new computer right now and i need my music.
any help is much appreciated .

I think I have the same problem but I have an iphone 5?

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

Is there a way to transfer music from PC to IPad without using ITunes

can I transfer music I already have on my PC windows 7 to my IPad without using Itunes on the PC? I cannot get it to download on my PC.

Only if you are in a country where you can re-download your iTunes purchases on your iPad's iTunes, and if you've signed up for iTunes Match for the CDs that you've copied - otherwise you will need to go via iTunes on your computer.
If you are having problems downloading iTunes on your computer then you could try posting in the iTunes for Windows forum and see if anybody there can help.

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.

Tracks you buy from the iTunes Store are not copy protected, though, and haven't been for a couple of years now.

How to make a full backup of my iPad without using iTunes

I need to make a full backup of my iPad. I am using the Vudu app and have many movies downloaded to my iPad. I have performed a backup of my iPad from iTunes onto my Macbook Pro. The mobile backup files on my laptop are not nearly big enough for the 20+ movies (at lease 1/2 to1 GB each). Because of this I do not believe iTunes has made a full backup including the movies. I want to avoid having to re-download all the movies if/when the iPad drive fails. I want a complete backup such as Time Machine or using some other external hard drive or app on my MacBook Pro.
I bought a Seagate Wireless Plus 1TB Mobile Cloud Storage with Built-in WiFi Streaming (STCK1000100) external hard drive and installed the Seagate Media App. I can, via the app on the iPad, see the device and copy to and from it. But, it only allows access to music, movies in iTunes (not any movies in Vudu), and things like documents on my iPad. It does not allow access to all the files inclding system files stored on the iPad. I also tried another Seagate non wireless external drive that I connected directly to the iPad but the Seagate Media app does not communicate with or recognize the device from the iPad.
I also bought DiskAid software that supposedly will make a complete backup of an App on a mobile device and installed it on my laptop. I was able to make a complete backup of the Vudu app from the iPad onto my laptop, but in a test could not restore it to my iPad. The backup file, though, was the right size, about 26 GB. The DiskAid techs are looking into that. I was able to use DiskAid to backup another app in a test (Hertz). That app made a backup of the Hertz app onto my laptop, I deleted the app on my iPad, then I was able to restore it. But right now the restore option is not working for Vudu.
Another option would be to copy the movie files off of the iPad onto my Laptop, but the iPad does not appear in the finder window on the Laptop.
I have about decided my MacBook Pro laptop will have to be the main repository for all the downloaded movies, since I can make a Time Machine backup of everything.
It is very frustrating to not be able to make a full backup of everything on my iPad.
Anyone else have any ideas? Apple - when are you going to provide a way to make a full backup of an iPad?

I recommend Super Duper as well. I use it batch mode to automatically back up my iMAC every night at 2 am. It's saved my life a couple of times- once my disk crashed (under warranty)and what could have been a disaster (1000's of irreplaceable photos) was a 2 day inconvenience.
Now and then I boot up from my backup on my firewire drive, wipe, check and reformat my internal hard disk, copy back all my files and I'm good to go

How do I get personal movies onto my iPad without using iTunes

Hi,
I have several "movies" - like ones my kids made using iMovie on their their ipods, clips of my kids playing their sports, and other non-tradional films that i would like to keep and add or subtract to my liking from my iPad (3rd Gen). In iTunes i have pretty much "cut the cord" - the only items that synch with itunes are the videos that I mentioned (hollywood videos I purchse through iTunes I access through the iCloud now) and photos with Aperture. I really dont want - or need to synch with iTunes anymore - the user experience is so wonderful going with just the iCloud and my Dropbox. But I really want the freeedom to add a personal video to my iPad w/o having to synch - it takes FOREVER and always has a glitch of some sort.
In case your thinking to just use the dropbox - I know that... but it is internet dependant then - and play back is not what i'd call "Retina worthy" - and you can't save Drpbox video to the iPad's HD.
Does anyone have another method that is working for them??
I love being "bareback" with the iPad and don't want to go backwards.
Thanks in advance!

UPDATED
Background: You can transfer photos and movies made on your camera and recorded to an SD card directly into your iPad using an Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader. So all you have to do is convince your iPad that the SD card with your other movies (ripped DVDs etc) came from your camera.
1. Your movies need to be in a format your iPad will read - .mp4 or .mov work well. For DVDs, you need to rip it into .mp4 files - I use Xilisoft DVD to iPad Converter which works well.
2. Store these files someplace convenient on your hard drive.
3. Rename the .mp4 files so they have EXACTLY 8 characters in the file name without any spaces (digital cameras create 8 digit file names).
4. Format your SD card folder structure so that to your iPad, it looks like it came straight out of your digital camera. The easiest way to do this, is to format the SD card in your camera and then take a single photo on the card.
5. Attach you SD card to your computer (via a direct SD slot or a USB adaptor) and navigate through the SD card's folder structure to find the photo to took on your camera.
6. Copy all the video files that you want to watch on your iPad to the SAME location as the photo file.
7. Eject the SD card and insert it into your Apple Lightning SD Card Camera Reader and it into your iPad.
8. Go to the "Photos" icon app (not the Videos icon app) and follow the usual transfer instructions from the iOS.
Note that unlike movies in the Videos app from iTunes, the video files loaded this way appear only as a video icon with the time length of the file. ie No files names are visible, therefore you may need to write a short note identifying each file name according to its play time.

How can I transfer books from my Mac to my iPad without using iTunes?

?

I can get books into iBooks on my ipad easily enough by just emailing them to myself or using Dropbox. The problem with that route is that it loses the book's genre, which must be something iTunes handles separately from the file.
Anyone have any ideas on how to retain the genre metadata outside of iTunes?

I would like to be able to take a video from my camera and download it to several iPads for playback without using iTunes? Possible?

I am taking a video for high school and would like to be able to download on multiple iPads without using iTunes. Is there an app that would aid me in doing this?

If you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (CCK) and the video that your camera generates is in one of the formats tha the iPad supports then you can directly move it to the iPad with a USB connection.
