Transferring CDs to iPhone without iTunes

Hi there,
Until recently I've not transferred/synced my iPhone4 with my computer.
My iBook G4 can't run the latest version of iTunes so therefore I can't copy new music to my phone (purchased on CD rather than downloaded).
Is there a workaround that doesn't force me into shelling out for a new computer? The iBook still works properly, naturally, so doesn't warrant replacing.
Thanks

The only ways to get music on your phone is to either purchase it through iTunes on your phone, sync it to your phone, or use iTunes Match. The last two choices would require updating to OS X 10.6.8 or later, & iTunes 10.7 or later.
You can also look at something like this:

  • Moving to a new iPhone without iTunes

    My friend just bought a new iPhone. He had been syncing it for awhile to his old PC, which is now just dead in the water. He got a new iPhone and wants to move his data (contacts etc) to the new iPhone, without iTunes.
    He doesn't have an iCloud account yet, so I *think* he can just make an iCloud account on his old iPhone, turn on syncing, then go to the new iPhone and do the same.
    If not, then I have a Mac with iTunes. I can make a new user account for him, and then plug in the iPhone and I *think* backup the iPhone to iTunes.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    You cannot get back all content, but you can get some. See this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 combined with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

    i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

    A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
    What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
    If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iPhone without iTunes an now i don't wad then it turned itf off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my phone on again

    I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iphone without iTunes and then it turned it self off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my iPhone on again?

    I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

  • Restoring an Iphone without Itunes

    Can you restore an Iphone without Itunes? Or is there another way to restore it without wiping out another IPod's music library on Itunes?

    You can erase all content and settings on an iPhone without iTunes, but you can't restore an iPhone without iTunes.
    Regardless what you do with an iPhone, no iTunes content in your iTunes library is ever erased.

  • Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
    connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

  • Get photos on iPhone without iTunes optimizing them?

    Is there any way to put photos on the iPhone without iTunes optimizing them and shrinking them down?

    I would like to see this feature implemented as well. It seems well with in the capabilities of the hardware, just a matter of updating iTunes with better syncing options for photo galleries, possible the iPhone OS as well, but i don't see why as the photo App does have the capacity to browse larger resolution images that have been downloaded of the net.
    Please submit an official feedback form and let's see this featured rolled out sooner than later:

  • Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

    Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software.  Thanks.

    Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

    Yes, on the iDevice via the App store.

  • Is it possible to have an iPhone without iTunes

    I understand that itunes is necessary for activation of an iphone. However, is it possible to, after activation, uninstall itunes perminently and still have the iphone work? Under no circumstances can itunes be on the computer more than once. I am fine with no music on the device. Also, would the iphone be able to be updated without itunes. Also, is a 3rd party software like "media monkey" avaliable for the iphone. I will check back on the forum every 2 hours or so. Thanks for any help in advance.
    - Jason

    If you plan on using the iphone to it's full potential, itunes is necessary because it is the interface between your iphone and the computer.
    Also, if the iphone starts giving trouble you need itunes to back your data up and to restore the operating system on the iphone. Then if you want to put any of the latest updates from apple on the iphone, you need itunes.
    But to answer your question, itunes is not needed after the activation if all your going to do is use the iphone as just a phone or wifi device.
    here is a link to the user manual online that might help out.

  • Unlocking iPhone without iTunes

    How do I unlock an iPhone without having access to iTunes?
    I am travelling and have inserted my new sim but have to delete my phone and restore from iTunes. As I am away from my laptop I am unable to synch.
    Grateful for any advice. Thanks

    Please read the earlier responses. It cannot be done. You have to restore the phone via iTunes after the carrier has authorized the unlock.

  • How can I transfer music from Mac to iPhone WITHOUT iTunes?

    I'd like to transfer (not sync, just transfer) songs from my Mac to my iPhone. How can I do this without going through iTunes software?
    I know there was another software I used to do this with... something like iFun or iExplorer; but neither of those will transfer from iPhone to Mac. I've searched the web several times for such software, came up empty.

    "The only reason it would delete songs on your phone that you had no physical copy of would be if you tried to sync it with a different iTunes library."
    Yes, I know that. That's why I mentioned I have two computers. I also know you can redownload songs from iTunes. The songs don't come from iTunes. I don't know why you wish to devolve my query into a legal battle (like I'm sure you're a copyright lawyer for the RIAA) but number one, who said they were copyrighted songs? Not me. Number two, even if they were, yes the copies are mine if I choose to make copies. At least in my country, that's the case. That fact does not change if I lose the original, if the original source is unplayable, or if it burned up in a fire. Are you an international copyright attorney too? If so, you're not a very good one. And I posted a simple query. I didn't post it to be told to buy a different phone. If you can't answer the query, then why are you here? Just to argue for iTunes and copyrights? I already mentioned that there is software that exists to do what I want, so I obviously do not need to buy another phone. I just want better software at this point.

  • Delete Everything on Iphone without itunes ?

    HELP, Is it possible to delete everything and reset my iphone 2.0 without using itunes. If I click restore on itunes, it wants to install 2.0.1 which I dont want.
    How is this possible.
    Thanks!

    If you just want to clear it off settings/general/reset - erase all content and settings. Although I can't think of any reason NOT to install 2.0.1; it's a lot more stable than 2.0. Unless the phone is jailbroken, of course.

  • Unlocking a locked iPhone without iTunes or computer access

    Hi all,
    Sorry in advance for the umpteenth "locked out of my iPhone" question, but it's for my sister...
    I understand from reading around that if I don't have access to a computer to restore my locked-out iPhone, I need to force the phone into recovery mode and then restore it. I've seen this URL quite a lot: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    My question is that the how-to in that URL seems predicated on access to a computer/iTunes?  Is there a step-by-step guide if you have no access to a computer or iTunes for restoring, or is that not possible?  Losing all data is not a concern for me (it probably is for her, but my understanding is there's no way to do this without losing all data... I hope she's backed it up!)
    Thanks in advance.
