Hi All
I have got my iphone already and its been backed up on icloud. i want to transfer some songs to my iphone using my desktop but when i click on the option to choose the folder it says i will lose my photos.
Is there anyway around this?

Add your music files to iTunes on your desktop by pointing it to the location you keep them at. This will give you an iTunes music library. Then sync the phone with iTunes, setting the sync options either to transfer the lot or the ones you choose. That shouldn't affect your photos at all.0

Via iTunes.
Download iTunes > Add music > Connect your iPhone > Click in iTunes on your iPhone > Tab music > Check music you want > Sync.
Use FonePaw iOS Transfer.
Run the program and connect iPhone to computer, then you will check the music file and import some of them from your desktop to iPhone.0 -
Does iTunes still stop you using your own MP3 tracks?
It used to be impossible to play anything that wasn't bought via Apple.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Eh? I've used iTunes for 7 years and there hasn't been that limitation in all that time.0 -

Did it? I've had iTunes for years, and have transferred quite a few CD's into my iTunes and thus onto my iPods/Pads without any problems, the only thing I've found sometimes is that you don't get the cover art for the album.
The only real issue with Apple and iTunes is that you can't use it on any mobile device except an Apple one.I hate football and do wish people wouldn't keep talking about it like it's the most important thing in the world0 -
I had a friend who'd got a load of albums on MP3 format, iTunes was having none of it. But yeah, we're going back to when Apple had a monopoly on the mobile media market, a good number of years ago.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

iTunes has always been able to play/manage compatible music not bought from Apple.Strider590 wrote: »Does iTunes still stop you using your own MP3 tracks?
