sworph Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If you are looking at moving files to and from the iPad then "iMazing" is great or "AnyTrans" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T3X4S Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 One would have to know what aspect of iTunes you use that you are looking to replace.I hate iTunes as well, but I dont use it to store/play music. I use Spotify Premium. As far as backup of my iPhone - there is no alternative.So what is it that you are needing/wanting to do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there is an alternative for iDevice backups....it's called iCloud. I don't use iTunes for anything. In fact I cannot tell you the last time I even used the program.

darkrats Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 When you appear to say that you don't use iTunes, does that mean it's not installed on your computer or that it's installed but you don't use it? I've been searching for a way to transfer music, videos and photos from my PC to my iPhone and also in reverse, but every program I find that claims you don't need iTunes actually means you don't have to use iTunes but you must have it installed on your computer. Are there any programs (for the PC) that can work with an iPad/iPhone but does NOT need to have iTunes installed? Been looking for a very long time.

You need to have it installed because any other program that is able to sync with an iDevices needs the "Apple Mobile Device Service" installed in order to be able to sync. That service only gets installed when itunes does. And if you uninstall itunes, the service gets uninstalled also. So, install it but just don't use it.

Guest Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 If its music then just upload it all onto google music, then get the app on your iphone. Then you can offline the music on that. Thats how i do it to my ipad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I hate that you have to still use a computer for is syncing ringtones over to an iPhone. While you don't have to use iTunes for this, you do have to have it installed. alisalem 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
