We are often asked the question: how to transfer photos from computer to iPhone or iPad. And in reality it is not as simple as on Android, where we can work with photos in flash drive mode. With Apple it will take several gestures to iTunes program. In addition, there are several nuances.
Apple makes really convenient things, but for some reason it makes things very complicated. And you have to put up with them, because alternative ways No. Such moments include downloading music and photos to your iPhone or iPad.
AND regular users They simply stop using functions such as downloading photos, ringtones, videos and music to their iPhone and iPad. I’ll tell you honestly, I’m one of those. I prefer to store everything in online storage, like DropBox, for example, which I will talk about in other articles. And uploading photos via iTunes, well, doesn’t make me very happy :-)).
And so, let’s say we really need it, but we can’t use the Internet to access online storage, on an airplane, for example, or at our grandmother’s in another city or village. In general, it doesn’t matter, there is no Internet, you need photos on the gadget. Well, let's do it through iTunes.
To start let's learn how to upload photos to iTunes, and only then we’ll talk about the points that should be taken into account.
1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer and turn on iTunes.
2. Click on our device and go to the “Photo” section.
3. Click the “Synchronize Photos from” checkbox and select a folder into which we will first put all the necessary pictures and photos.
Here we can check the box “Include video in synchronization” so that we don’t forget to transfer video files to our gadget.
4. Click apply, the synchronization process will begin and the photos will appear on your device.
Everything seems simple, but now a few points because of which I prefer DropBox.
1. First, all photos or pictures must be downloaded into one common folder (you can make subfolders inside), because iTunes only allows you to synchronize with one folder.
This means that if you select a different folder on the same computer or on a completely different computer, then everything that was previously synchronized on your phone or tablet will be erased! and will be replaced with a new folder. Be careful! Thus, you will have to drop new photos into the same shared folder that was synchronized earlier, so as not to delete existing photos. This also means that iPhone and iPad should only sync with one computer and only one shared folder of photos and pictures.
2. All photos will appear in the Photos application, but they will not appear together with photos taken on the device, they will appear in a separate category or categories (if in shared folder You had several subfolders) and they cannot be deleted on the device itself. Each category will be named after the subfolder. On the one hand, this is convenient; it allows you to organize the entire archive of photos and organize everything into folders. But the lack of ability to throw them together with the photographs taken in one pile is also depressing.
In fact, handling photos and synchronizing with an iPhone or iPad requires not only iTunes skills, but also proper storage of photos and pictures in a special shared folder for synchronization. And sometimes it's really inconvenient. While I would like to work with photos in flash drive mode, like on Android, freely deleting unnecessary ones and downloading photos from different sources.
We hope that one day Apple will revise this process and make it easier to add pictures, photos, videos and music to iPhone and iPad.

iOS is one of the basic features of the iPhone. It is created for her a large number of incredibly attractive applications, they can be found in the App Store. They are extremely attractive, allowing users to gain mass additional features. For example, do work faster, have fun, and so on. Applications are downloaded, purchased, etc. directly from the iPhone. Moreover, for this there is a separate standard and quite easy-to-use application from the App Store itself, however, there are often cases when some application is discarded through iTunes.
How to do it? To begin with, you can throw it off and demon paid application, through this program, and paid. In a word, the choice is rich. How to download it? Open the program itself. And if it is not installed for various reasons, then you need to download the latest version from the company’s official website. Next, press the “Alt” key on your keyboard, open the view menu, show the side menu, and then you need to find the item iTunes Store(you can also press “Ctrl+S”).
After that, the start window from the iTunes Store itself will load, but you need to go to the application store itself. So please click on the button. That's what it's called - the App Store. The button is located in the center, on top. It's hard not to notice her. What's next? Choose any application you like. This can be a text editor for image processing. Or some kind of toy, whatever. Click on the application. If it does not require payment, that is, it is distributed freely, then you need to click “Download”.
But if you like a paid application, you need to click on the price tag and make a purchase. In both cases, you will need an Apple ID and entering its password. You may have already entered before, but if you haven't done it before, now is the time. The application will download to your computer. You can verify availability by going to the “Program” tab in the sidebar. All that remains now is to reset the application itself to the iPhone. You can use it.
To reset, you need to connect the device from your iPhone to your PC and launch iTunes. In the sidebar, select the device directly. Next, click on the “Programs” button. Then you will see all the home screens of the model, as well as applications available for download. In order to install applications, you just need to click the corresponding button, which is located opposite the required application (in the case of new iOS and updated iTunes - if entered into the App Store and on Apple device IDs are the same, then applications will start downloading automatically after connecting the iPhone to the PC).
After this, the application status changes. The "To be installed" icon appears. One more synchronization is enough for the applications to be downloaded to the iPhone. To start, click on the “Apply” button in the bottom right corner.
Sometimes it happens that all the instructions have been completed, but the application still does not start. What to do in such a situation? First you need to launch iTunes, select the item called “Store”. Then from it there is a sub-item with computer authorization. A window will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID information. And then click on the authorization button. This often helps to cope with problematic loading of applications on the iPhone.
