Erased the entire iPhone and restored it to factory. Added everything back again after that. Let's see if it last a week this time before something on iTunes messes up and I have to do this again.

I don't know what those dotted circles mean on songs when I try to add music but between that and it randomly deleting my cover art and then the random hangs on the waiting to apply changes when the iPhone syncs this program is garbage. Those dotted circles appear when I try to sync my iPod Nano too.

I don't get why we can't drag and drop music through Windows explorer. It's faster than iTunes and more reliable. Never had a problem dragging and dropping music to the S5 in Windows Explorer. All I'm saying is if you gonna lock everything down to a particular method at least have that method be better than conventional means not worse.

I been using iTunes since the old 30GB hard drive based iPod classics and it's been crap even since those days. You can have a beastly PC and it still hangs, freezes, crashes, and runs slow.

:leostare: You do know, windows and S5 which uses google has like interconectivity programs making the android phones usable on windows. Itunes from what ive seen works extremely fast on apple self closed contained software. It's bullshyt how even after all these years that itunes on windows is still bullshyt because apple doesnt want to make it easier for us to use it there...

I'm using amazon and it's so much easier than apple Itunes. You see what happens when apple updates your shyt and fukks around with itunes, it bricks your shyt and all those songs you brought years ago are fukking toast.

:pacspit: fukk apple.

So i'm trying to organize the music on my iPhone and apparently you can't browse your music on there by the column browser anymore. they removed the feature for no reason so you have to look at a great pool with all your music and scroll through all your songs.

on top of that if i plug my iPhone up to my netbook or second desktop to add a song that's not possible. it can only have music added by the original computer it synced with and for any other computer to do so the iPhone has to be erased first.

i'm trying not to go back to Android because that's another set of hassles for me.
I agree, however my iPhone 6 plus is literally cell phone nirvana, so i'll put up with the hassels.

Its nice to be catered to as a cell phone user for once...:mjcry:

idk what yall nikkas doing but itunes works fine


Exactly. ITunes is literally plug and play. Don't know what you clowns find so difficult to understand? :mindblown:

I've literally used iTunes to trouble shoot and fix old and used iphones and ipads which I've sold for a profit, organize my music library so everything is properly tagged and labeled with the corresponding cover art, purchase all sorts of songs,music, an apps, aggregate my podcasts in a clean and awesome interace, with cloud syncing playback between my phone and pc, share music with all my family memebrs and friends with tunes library cloud share, and even create a playlist that I use to provide music for my last party. Streamed the music from my laptop to my receiver in my living room via airplay.

There is literally no other program that can do this flawlessly.

For those clowns looking to use their phone as some sort of portable hardrive, that's cool but a USB Stick works WAY better for that purpose. Phones make terrible portable harddrives in my experience.

This shyt is already messing up. over 2000 songs have an exclamation mark on them randomly. all the tracks I try to play have that popping up on them. I already miss the S5 and the security of copying music to my device and just having it work.

The program randomly started re-syncing the whole whole music library a had added to the phone back to the phone. over 6000 songs and counting.

iPhone sat there for 30 minutes on a sync doing nothing the program was pretty much just hanging. I canceled the sync and all the music is gone. the space it has shows up as Other. what a nightmare this has been. I deeply regret going back to Apple. Its like they make shyt needlessly complex just to lock it down.
