Music features in iPhone???

Hello all,
I am a newly converted PC user (first post), dumped my Vista box for a new iMac and I'm loving every minute of it. I have been looking at getting an iPhone since launch and now that the price drop is out, I think I will jump. (Sorry early adopters, but this does happen in the mobile industry all the time, i.e. Razor).
I do have a question for current owners, does the iPhone already have all the features they showed on the iTouch today? I am planning on getting a new Nano for my running, (Love that new interface), but was wondering if the features, and layout of music on the iTouch was already built into the iPhone. Things like "tapping" and album and getting the song list, the visual volume/playback controls, etc.
If these features are not in the iPhone, has anyone heard if they are planning these in a software update? Since Apple says the iPhone is the "best iPod ever", I think it should be able to do anything exactly the same way the iTouch does. Anyone agree?
Thanks for reading/replying,
Luke
P.S. I think the wi-fi store is coming to iPhone, but can't confirm. Does anyone else know?
EDIT: Steve confirmed in the presentation that it the wi-fi store will come to the iPhone.

WS6,
Thank you for your reply. I think I will wait about a week or so and try to go pick up a new iPhone and new Nano at an Apple store. Boy, Apple is getting a ton of my money this year with my new iMac, .mac, iPhone, Nano, and the coming Leopard. Oh and I want that new wireless keyboard and mighty mouse. Big year for them! Now bring on the "refreshed" macbook pro and I'm set!

  • Why can't I back up music from my iPhone or iPod to my iTunes?

    Happy with my iPhone 4s so far, no battery issue's and an excellent phone but there is one thing I dislike with a passion.
    I own more than one computer, I have desktops, laptops and netbooks and I have music I have purchased or recorded from vinyl or backed up from CD on different machines. I want to place this music and videos onto my iPhone to enjoy but when I try to get iTunes to sync it tells me it will delete the music currently on my iPhone for the new playlist? This is ********!
    For example if I were to go through the lengthy process of backing up all of my music from my various computers and collections to only one PC and then making a huge playlist just for my iPhone, then my main PC breaks and dies, my only option would be to either never add more music to my iPhone or lose all of the music on my iPhone? And please don't come back with purchases from iTunes will be available, my music collection and everybody else's is much greater than an iTunes collection.
    This is the dumbest feature of the iPhone in my opinion and makes functionality a pain.
    Is there a work around for this problem? or do you just have to accept you lose everything in the event of a stolen computer or hard disk failure?

    Put all your music in one computer liberary, network the computers to use this shared resource so that you can add and remove music from any computer on your network. You are then saving space across all your computers and will be able to keep your music archive well organized.
    Back up your music on an external hard drive, USB drive, backup drive or cloud storage just like you would anything else you don't want to lose. Having the music on various computers isn't more safe than having it on one computer. If you have it on one computer and it crashes you lose everything its true, but if you have it on multiple computers you will only lose part of your library but the chances of something going wrong are now upped because you're working with 4 computers. Its good to back everything up anyways.
    Sync phone with one computer that has all the networked music in its library. Live long, prosper, grow in the force, etc.

  • Recently I can no longer play music on my iPhone 5.  music is listed but just skips around.

    recently I can no longer play my music on my iphone 5.  Music is there but skips around if I try to play.
    does anyone know a fix?

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,

    I am glad there was a copy paste added but it would have been nice to use your own ringtones and I don't understand why they could not use gps for the direction of the phone too.
    I am sure if they can pinpoint you on the map they could tell what direction your holding the phone on the 3g.
    The cam is very poor on the 3g phone it,s more like an afterthought.
    I don't understand why apple did not have the function of moving your photos and ringtones with drag and drop onto itunes rather than sync to a folder.
    yes there are apps you can buy but even a £20 phone lets you do all of above without added cost to the user.
    and where is the software reset for clearing the memory or is that an afterthought too.
    PS not picking holes it's a fact.
    The HTC phone is a nice phone mate has one.

  • While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

    While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs.  This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings.  This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

    I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue.  I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
    The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off.  I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
    If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.  Then, test it out again.  Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

  • I have a new pc and would like to sync my music from my Iphone to itunes

    I thought I had backed up my music to icloud but can't find it.  I have all my music on my iphone and would like to sync it back to itunes.  HELP please

    If your music was purchased in iTunes, the new iCloud feature will enable you to download all of those songs to your new machine.  Goto Purchases -> look at the bottom right of the window for "download previous purchases"  Be sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
    If you have music that you ripped from CDs, you can just move the files on a flash drive or over your home network.

  • Why does it take so long to sync my music to my iphone 5s

    Hello All
    I have an iPhone 5s with 16 gigs. I use a PC with Windows 7 home Premium. All software (iTunes) and operating systems are at the latest versions, I update whenever prompted. My problem is it takes FOREVER to sync music with my iPhone. One song can take 15 to 30 minutes or more. I dig out an old iPod nano and that synched the music in no time at all. I am at a loss as to why this takes so long. Can anyone help me?

    I have this aggravating issue as well, only I just have an iPhone 4s 16GB (yes, STILL!).  One of the (many) reasons I haven't upgraded is the deteriorating performance factors induced by Apple.  If it takes forever to sync just a 16GB iPhone, syncing a 64GB or 128GB iPhone must be an all day test of aggravation!  Since I'm finding no credible or relevant answers here I thought I'd post my observations.  When I watch the sync process, I can see that the procedure backs up my iPhone data, removes it from the phone, then reinstalls it again with any updates to the data since the last sync.  This is a programming "feature".  I don't know what the reasons are for not designing the sync process to handle only changed data as in any other data backup process.  Maybe it's laziness at Apple, maybe it's a technical issue that their programmers are incapable of solving, or maybe there's a monitoring aspect involved that this method allows Apple to collect information on users more effectively.  I just don't know their reasons for this, or many baffling things they do.  I do know that if their corporate data backups were performed in the same manner in which the iPhone sync is performed, there would never be a break in the backup processes at Apple, nor would the process ever complete.  It's ludicrous to program the SW (iTunes) run this inefficiently.  I can't fathom having a larger capacity iPhone and dealing with the constant aggravation of what must be hours to sync simple data changes caused only by the poor routine programmed into iTunes.  From what I can see, it's basically like loading a blank phone every time I want to sync data.  Completely ridiculous as far as I can tell.  Even if the reasoning is to remove dead sectors, blank sectors etc, I'd think with all the money Apple has and makes on a quarterly basis, they could afford to spend the time and money in R&D to make the sync process a **** of lot more tolerable for users. 

  • HT1689 How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad

    How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad (music that I downloaded from iTunes)

    You don't, directly. You can either sync your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and then sync the music to your iPad, or you can download the tracks again using your iPad.

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • Will apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me

    will  the apple store transfer my music to new iphone for me?

    Do this:
    Create a separate user account for you. Launch iTunes, then Store>Authorize this Computer. Then:
    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • Stream music from the iPhone?

    is there any way to stream music from the iPhone, either via WiFi or bluetooth?

    I was wondering about the same thing. It looks like it is related to Bluetooth profiles. I am not sure why apple is limiting the Bluetooth profiles it is available just for the headset. Bluetooth offers a lot more flexibility. I am surprised with this much limitation from a company that thinks a lot about innovation. Without this feature you can not play music on a headset or car stereo via FM channel. I use a Motorola car kit that allows you hear to conversation through car stereo, but I can not use it to listen music. I am used to fusing about these kind of stuff for other companies, but apple deserves a lot off criticism with their approach.
