Hi
Recently swapped from Blackberry to an iphone 4S.

Whilst at work used to plug my blackberry cable to usb on my computer and use part of hard drive, as a form of USB memory stick.

Would like to do same with iphone but will not allow me to, its as if it makes it appear read only.

Cant load itunes on my work pc and cant connect iphone to works wifi... not allowed.

Any ideas how to save files on to the iphone from pc using the cable?

Thanks

    It's the Apple (spit) way of doing things, it does appear to be possible e.g. HERE
    Similar to the ipod not working as a typical removable drive, unlike e.g.Zen, without having to alter settings.
    Move along, nothing to see.

    Thanks, but says you need Itunes to run, therefore cant do, otherwise would do job.
    Can find programs that appear to work via wireless but unable to connect.

    Any other programs anyone can recommend?

    1) Jailbreak your iphone 4S (A5 devices can now be jailbroken untethered)

    2)Search for "USB drive" in Cydia and install

    No need to run itunes or any other software. Just plug your iphone into your pc and Robert's your mothers brother :)
