Iphone Sync question

[Quickdraw22]

Well, my phone is loaded with programs and music. Unfortunately, it takes ATLEAST 2 hours for it to completely update. Every time I want to put music on my phone, it takes FOREVER.

Is there any way that I can just transfer music without having to worry about every stupid program wanting to update??

Just got off the phone with apple. They say that since I am out of the warranty date, they can't offer me any type of assistance.

I hope this company burns.

Anyhoo, let me clarify, since Abu didn't understand it after the 8th time I told him. I want to add music to my phone, and nothing else. I don't want to search for updates, backup my phonebook, download new programs, or any of that BS. Just want to put a few songs on my phone.

On the sync page, they have an "Applications" tab, and when I tried to un-click it, it said that I would lose all programs on my phone .

I've looked through nearly every tab, and can't find anything that helps me.

I don't know as there is a way man. Apple makes things terribly easy as far as backup and replacement goes. You can easily replace your apple product with another and use your backups to make it your own instantly. Unfortnatly this makes it long to backup, update etc. I like my apples but you do play by their rules when you buy in. However it shouldn't take that long to sync your phone. It shouldn't take that long to sync no matter how much it's backing up or adding to your phone

I can't think of a way. Check out dinozambas's channel on Youtube. He knows his stuff. If he doesn't have a vid, sent him a message.

I hate Apple and I hate iTunes. Why can't it just be drag and drop?

Do you mean you don't want to use Itunes to transfer music and/or Itunes trys to update your Iphone?

In iTunes on the main screen for your iPhone, uncheck the block that says automatically sync my phone when connected and check the one that says manually manage music. That should help you out, but you may have to reload all of the songs that were on there before.

Hope it helps.

what DOC said, just sync music, by clicking on the music tab. dont use the sync button on the first page

get mobile me it automatically transfers everything you do on your computer to your iphone and from your iphone to your computer i did it with mine and now i love it! definately worth it

Jailbreak it and then use SSH to manually transfer songs. Then do all the other cool things jailbreaking lets you do.

There are some files apple syncs that you don't need. One folder is Crashreporter another is roaming logs. Just go on your computer and delete the contents of the folders NOT the files themselves! It can make sync times go from hours to minutes. If you have a full ipod/iphone it will still take a while, but not nearly as long

 

[kcinnick]

Also, if you have a bunch of new apps on your iphone, before you sync go to the app store in itunes and download them to your computer for free from the app store rather than trying to sync them from your iphone/ipod to your computer. I think apple should do this automatically, but they don't.

You can turn off application syncing in itunes, I believe.
