so i want to sync my iphone to my desktop and have everything on there instead of my laptop but am unsure if this can be done. i dont just want to plug it into a different comp in case it doesnt recognize it and deactivate the phone. is there any way to do this?

i really like it so far, the only thing that i dont like is the fact that you have to use email to send picture messages and you cant recieve them. that should hopefully be updated soon though (fingers crossed)

All you have to do is copy your iTunes folder which is located in your "my documents/music/iTunes" folder and copy it on the PC in the same directory. At least that worked for my iTouch.

Yep, just down load Itunes to the laptop. I heart my eye fone, even when it randomly calls someone out of my favorites list every once in a while. Now I can surf in the john.

How do you down load pics from the camera to the computer? Anyone? I would like to put some music on in as well, anyone get it for free?

LOL @ calling random people sometimes. I've done that as well.

To download pics to your phone I know for a fact that you can email them to yourself. I email them to my Gmail account and then check my Gmail from my laptop. I'm not sure, but you also might be able to transfer them when you're connected to your PC.

Supachage, I think soooo??? I dunno i tried it actually. I dont see why you couldnt considering it has a built in speaker and will play songs without headphones. If it can do that then it better be able to. Just plug it in, go to ipod, play and song, and cross your fingers. Btw I love my iphone, mostly cuz I got it for 100 bucks

Nope.

Plug in the cable to your computer, then your the iPhone, then go to My Computer(if you have Windows XP) and it will show up under your CD-Rom drives in a new section called Scanners and Cameras. Open it up, all the pictures are right there. Just drag them off the phone onto your computer.

As for the music, either download MP3's from somewhere, or just rip your CD's with a program like Audio Grabber(freeware).

Does anyone know if you can listen to your music through the car radio like on a normal ipod?

Tried it. Didn't work for me. It detected the phone like it was being charged, but the sound only came out of the phone speakers, and yes, my deck was on the right input.

Rodger on the email. How about music? I'm not into paying .99 a song through Itunes.

First, whenever setting up your iTunes account, make sure you select "make iTunes my default music player". Then if you have limewire, Ares, or a smilar program, you can download songs thru all you have to do is download it and then right click it and select "open external" and it will automatically open it in iTunes. When it opens it in iTunes it is saved to your library. Sync it and voila

Ok to clear up confusion. It will sync up fine with other pcs fine. And yes it plays like a normal ipod just fine in the car. Also did any of you mod your iphones yet? Im running a Jailbroken 1.1.4

Hey Cody, radio shack sells this adapter (as do most targets and what not) that works thru a cassete player (if your truck has one). It plugs straight into your headphone jack and then you just put the cassete tape attached to the end of the cable into the cassete player and press play. If you dont have a cassete player, disregard.
