I have been reviewing many of the posts here and could not find any solutions to my problem. I am having trouble getting my iTunes over to my Note 10.1. Long story short, I got a iTune gift card some months ago as a gift thinking that I was going to get the new iPad 3. However, I ended up getting the Android instead. Now I want to use that iTunes gift card to get a book for my Android.
I saw some post about how one might can do this but there was really no real details instructions as to how I can make it work which is why I am posting this.
Here's where I am so far:
1. I have iTunes on my Windows 7 pc.
2. I have DoubleTwist on my Windows pc
3. I have DoubleTwist on my Note 10.1
4. I have downloaded a book already from iTunes onto my Windows 7.
5. I opened DoubleTwist on my Windows 7 to view the download but it doesn't show up.
Per #5, I cannot seem to get DoubleTwist to see the iTunes book I downloaded.
I also don't know how to get the book to my Note 10.1.
I know pc enough but seriously I am clueless when it comes to the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I Think it is And news for You. Apple has a proprietary DRM protection on books that has not been circumvented (as for as I know) That makes reading it on anything Other than an apple product , a- no - go. If it Was music you can simply copy It to a directory on the mate and. away you go but a book is different.
personally I never buy booksfrom Apple If you buy from Kobo or Kindle or.B&N they all have good readers or A ldiko & Bluefire Can read epub book with adobe DRM. BN and Kindle are also both proprietary , but have both been circumvented.

I don't have any Apple products or use iTunes myself but I highly doubt that you'll be able to perform a direct sync between your TF and your iPod (if that's what you're hoping to achieve) due to Apple's stance on copyrighted material. For example they deliberately disable file sharing on their iDevices via Bluetooth in a bid to combat piracy (e.g. music). Thus I would imagine there's a similar block of sorts in place with iTunes in terms of not being able to transfer stuff directly from iTunes onto a non-Apple product. Unless someone else can post a workaround of some description you might have to take a long-winded route to transfer the same stuff that's on your iPod/iTunes onto your TF.
If however you're asking about software that performs a similar function to iTunes but which is built for the TF, you could try downloading the Asus software from their website and see what it can do. I've never really used it before so I'm not entirely sure what it offers.
The only other thing I can suggest is to simply plug your TF into your computer, which should be detected as a mass storage device as long as you have the correct drivers installed. You can then simply click-and-drag your music from your chosen folder onto the TF's internal memory.
Hope this helps.
[EDIT]: Oh, 100th post .
the ipod music format will not play on the TF. If it is not copy protected (DRM) you can export to cd then load on tf. Now you see why they are so disliked. You bought the song and tbey still want to tell you what you can listen to it on.
I use iSyncr
It's specifically for getting your iTunes stuff, including smart playlists etc. onto an android device, it's two way as well. Works great and is well supported with regular updates.
Can't recall how much it was, but I've not regretted the purchase.
It's not exactly syncing with your iPod but only one step removed.
Cheers.

Does it work with the iTunes videos as well?
Thanks
Thanks jonitfcfan and Rumbleweed for ur reply. all I want to do is transfer music from TF to my iPod. I do not need the other way around. so I dont think the question of file format comes
@movingpixels: so can the iSyncr do this job? Just want to confirm before I purchase it. Thanks
Use doubletwist... I think it is free

None of this is true. The iPod music formats are mp3/AAC, both of which play fine on the TF. Even iTunes music store purchases have been DRM-free for years now. You can drag your music onto the TF (or SD or MicroSD). You can also sync your iTunes library to Google Music or Amazon and access them through those sites (or through their associated apps).

MP3 ? I thought that iTunes converted whatever audio you imported into M4A/AAC format before sending it to your iDevice?

I learned long ago never argue with an expert. Try it yourself then decide.

it does that by default but you can change that in the preferences.

hope the title can describe what i am trying to figure out....
My current setup is this:
1. My windows machine and mac both have plex installed.
2. I can use my iphone with the plex app to airplay media from my computer straight to my apple tv, i dont need to have anything synced directly to my iphone's internal storage. It just uses the stream from the iPhone and computer
I am getting rid of my iPhone to get an android phone, but i want to keep this capability...
any suggestions?

anything based on ITunes or apple software is a pita to make work on android.
hi, just buy a cheap ipod touch 4g and use that it has the same capabilities and you will then be able to buy a high end android phone without any drawbacks
If you want to stream from android to apple tv there is an app that does so. Check http://9to5mac.com/2011/05/09/android-can-now-airplay-to-ios-devices/ for review.

Hello All,
This is my first android operating system, was always apple and windows before. I am loving my new TF700 and already found 4share.
My question is advice on apps to help me out. I have a home theater PC filled with thousands of movies, what is the best way to stream it to my tablet? Also, is there a good app for downloading things from my PC over wifi?
I saw that this tablet came with something called Splashtop, is that the best way to remote desktop? Or should I be looking for something else.
Sorry if these sound like n00b questions, I just thought this would be the best place to ask since we are all using the same device and I thought some/most of you have already found something good to fill this gap.
Thanks!
you can stream with a file manager, such as File Manager HD. I use BSPlayer to stream my blu ray collection.
you can also copy items from your pc to device by using File Manager HD as well. Just go to settings, LAN connection and scan until you find it. Then just put in your credentials. On your pc, just make sure you set the sharing permissions accordingly.
Im not sure abut splashtop, i use ubuntu, but i hear its a good app.

Sth called MyNet comes preinstalled, it uses DLNA. You can try Movie Browser HD too, for example. There's bunch of similar apps for that, search the market in case these two don't satisfy your needs.
Remember to switch DLNA on on your PC.

The best one I ever used is VPlayer, it's way better than BSPlayer which volume is significantly lower. Its UI is way better, you just swipe to right or left to get local, streaming from media servers or urls. Try it.
Servio and Plex runnng on my home server covers all my needs server side. I stream to a host of different tablets, phones, remote access browsers, and google TV. Plex is my preferred method, but also use Bubbleupnp To stream and download from the Servio server software.
the mynet one on the stock infinity turned out to be great ! thanks guys . im really intrested in buying a roku and running things to more devices now
Since my laptop died I've been using my nexus 7 exclusively, things have been okay but I'm stuck with my iPod I want to add new music and remove some of the old stuff, is there any way to manage my ipod using my nexus 7 without having to store my music library on my nexus as there's too much in terms of file size to do so? Any help would be great as if I can sort this my nexus 7 will have done away with my laptop.
There is no iTunes variant for Android of any sort (I've looked for it for quite a while.). As such there is no way to manage your ipod via your Android device.
Also, this is the TF700 board, not the Nexus 7 one.

Okay thanks for clearing it up, and sorry for the post on the wrong board. Shame it can't be managed with something like winamp
I still use itunes to manage my music but I also use doubletwist to sync that itunes library and playlists with my android devices. You basically import the itunes library into doubletwist and then it is able to sync with android. I use it for my android phone and tablets flawlessly.
anyone able to use their tablet with calibre? i've got quite a large ebook library (36gb worth), and am having all sorts of problems getting it onto the notepro in a usable manner. when i plug in the tablet via usb, i switch it to mtp mode... calibre is supposed to support mtp, but it doesn't show up as a device.
i bought the calibre companion app which looked like it would do what i needed... except that it connects via wifi only and takes about 4 minutes per book to transfer to my tablet (and i've got thousands...).
or perhaps any other ideas on how to access a large ebook library? i'm kind of stuck with calibre after years of use and gigs of books all with custom metadata, covers, etc.
thanks,

You do realize you can just copy the entire Calibre library folder over Windows Explorer onto a microSD (or internally) and set that as the main documents folder in Moon+, Aldiko or Mantano?
That's what I did for my 40.000 ebooks, anyway.

tried that with moon+, but it doesn't read the calibre metadata, rather pulls it from the ebook file itself. less of a problem with epubs and mobis, enormous headache with pdfs. i'm rather banal when it comes to cover images and correct metadata (not to mention any custom stuff that helps me sort through everything). that and the frequent app crashes made it a less-then-ideal situation.
i was, however, able to get calibre on my pc to recognize my notepro (that usually happens about three minutes after i post a plea for help online ) and the transfer time became acceptable. 500 books in an hour... i can spread that over a few nights to get the initial motherload on the tablet, and then updates should be no problem.
so far i am liking the calibre companion app for android. the searching and sorting is more what i'm used to from using calibre on the pc, and i haven't yet got any crashes a la moon+. the only thing that's sort of pissing me off at the moment is that cc is not a reader, just a library organizer, so i ended up opening the books in either moon+ or whatever, it has to 'add them to bookshelf' and tries to organize them as well. haven't researched it enough, but hopefully i can turn that functionality off in the reader.
thanks for the suggestion,
