I realize this might be more of an apple question but i feel like ive already searched to the ends of the interweb on apple forums and gotten nowhere and when i ask a question over there the only answer i seem to get is "shouldve bought an ipad"... So I'm wondering if there is a way to sync an itunes library with an android device without a computer? As far as i know, all of the common apps out there (doubletwist, airbind, etc) need to be set up on a computer first. Im trying to bypass this step with my little brothers iphone 5 and a rooted android tablet with ICS. I bouht him the tablet for xmas, but decided to give it to him early when his laptop was stolen earlier this week. He doesnt live near me or i would let him use my laptop to sync with his itunes. Is this even possible? Or will he need to find a computer? Please help!!!
There's doubleTwist player on Play Store which I've heard is pretty awesome at syncing iTunes- all for free. If you dkm't need a whole new player then there's quite a few other apps on market, not sure how reliable they are though...
Soryuu, thanks for the reply. My understanding is that you still need a mac or Windows computer to set up doubletwist I initially? Or am I wrong? Can I do this with just an iPhone and an android device??
Edit: Yeah, you need a desktop to work doubleTwist/Airsync and so on.
An iPhone and an Android device?
I don't think there's any easy solution to this except using cloud storage like Google Drive or something- which would be slow enough on its own- and even then, depending on how many songs you have it'd be a tediously slow process downloading them onto the tablet. If you are using cloud storage... I've never used iPhones so I don't know but can they make zips out of files? If you can that may make it slightly easier- zip the music up (if possible), upload to the cloud and then download it as one package.
There is this app that seems to work like NFC: http://m.wikihow.com/Use-Bump-Between-an-iPhone-and-Android
But 1.) Not sure about tablets- I assume so if its that popular of an app but there was no mention and
2.) Apparently its semi-functional according to some of the reviews I've seen.
I guess you could try it out and see what happens.
Other than that I don't think there's much else...

Hey, not too sure if it was in the "beyond froyo" section - but i'm pretty sure Froyo was supposed to be able to sync music OTA, can't seem to find the option though.
Anyone found a solution to this one?

The streaming capabilities are already in the OS, it came along with the cloud to phone notifications. The software is not done yet. Simplify Media is the company in charge of the streaming software. On their blog it says that they pulled their iPhone and desktop apps last month and that they will support existing accounts for at least 3 months. Based on that, I would guess we'll see the software mid-summer, probably around the iPhone launch.

This seems to be what everyone is saying in the other threads and although DoubleTwist syncs well with the Nexus One and on Mac has a built in Market, their Android apps isn't out yet which means no streaming which is what everyone is asking for. So unless I'm mistaken, either way you're going to have to wait to stream.
Hey all a friend of mine told me of this great website...www.icefilms.info...It lets you stream movies right to your windows or mac comp. and even smart phones. Problem is I can't find a way to get it to work for the g tab. It uses a couple of programs and they are as follows:
-DivX web player, which compresses the video
-Grease monkey (monkey script), which reads the file to play the video
-ICE Quick stream, which allows you to stream video from megaupload and
2shared
I see that other ice film members got Grease monkey to work with IE, Firefox, Safari, and Google chrome. I found another user who got it to work with Ubuntu (although you had to jump through several hoops to make it work, seemed kinda difficult)
So my question is, how do I get this to work on my g tab? (I'm pretty new at this but I tried to download all the browsers since flashing my unit with tnt lite 2.2 and I keep getting an error message). So do I have to flash a new OS like windows, OSX, Ubuntu, or Linux? or is there a way to keep my android platform? (which I really like cause of the app store and I don't want to lose t
It seems like a real difficult question (to me anyway) but for anyone who can help I thank you a million times in advace
Why don't you go the smartphone route? The Android browser is not equal to Google Chrome or other browsers as it is more limited in functionality.
If the requirements are all 3 apps listed above, then you most likely need a different OS (or choose the smartphone option).
Have you tried the thread about playing on Android phones?

No I haven't but will check that right now thanks, as for the smart phone way....just didn't want to do that cause if i'm watching a movie and someone calls it interferes with the movie also wanted to take advantage of the dock with the HDMI out on it to hook to my tv. I'll let you know if that thread works....thanks again
It worked thanks. I remember reading this post a couple weeks ago, but when it was talking about doing it on the phone I didn't think it would work on the g tablet. Like I said I'm pretty new at all this stuff but learning real fast with some great help. I am going to post a thread how to do it cause there are 2 different ways, you can use the yx player or you can watch it right on megaupload.

Hey, Just ditched my ihpone 4 for a Mozart WP7 phone and am very happy so far... Got almost all the apps I need (or used regularly on my iphone) but I have a few questions.
1. is there a way to move the zune software (or library) to a network drive. This is backed up regularly and I would want to keep everything on there.
I could do it with itunes by holding shift while launching. (I hated itunes, it keeps crashing on me, so far zune has been very stable)
2. Can anyone please stop my eyes from bleeding when I do a search. I do not want to use Yahoo. they don't seem to understand that less is more. It looks horrible. (I think this may be an O2 thing). I want bing or google to be the default.
I am very happy with my WP7 Phone and everyone I have shown it to has been impressed as well.

No sure if i am reading that right, but for #1 open zune>settings>collections>add folder and then look for the folders in the drive that u keep your music/pictures/videos in and add them you will need to do that for each file type
not sure what about #2 my phone uses bing
I have done that part thanks, its moving the folder with the configuration, apos backups etc.

Hello Skyrocket forum, I hail from the Galaxy Nexus forum!
I tried a search (and oddly) found nothing but,
I bought my girlfriend a white skyrocket (which she loves). I used to use a galaxy s 1 but obviously this is a different ball game. I was wondering if the newest US Kies software can sync your entire itunes library. (she is on a mac) I know there are other apps to do this as well, but I am trying to make it as simple for her as possible since she is coming from using an iPhone for the last 4 years (I am so proud haha)
if not, I'll take her through the google music route
Thanks for the help guys!
u can use kies to manually upload the files, but there are eazier faster ways of copying (over usb). I recommend google music

I still think doubletwist is the easiest way for the iphone/ios converts. It installs on a pc and reads the itunes library and has an interface for synchronization that is playlist based etc. Not sure if they have a mac client though. It is automatic and they even have a paid wifi version in case you got her into icloud and she likes wireless sync.
I have a Mac and I have recently gone from my iPhone 4S to my Samsung Galaxy S3. I really love the phons hardware and battery life, the only two things I am having issue with are syncing my phone with iTunes and with iPhoto.
I tried SyncMate but found it just so incredible underwhelming that I wish I had never spent the money on it. I also have recently downloading The Missing Sync but it seems to be only able to sync via WiFi or Bluetooth oweing to the fact that the Mac can't mount the device as a drive. I don't want to root the device, anyone know of any other software solutions that are Mac compatible?
Everything else goes through the cloud for me.
For music use double twist. You can load your play list and everything from itunes. Can't really help with the photo situation

I am really not a fan of Double twist.. I would use iSyncr, it is way less bloated and does the same thing.
There was an article on the internet using Dropbox and some scripting to use iCloud and iTunes syncing. Think it was on cnet.

Why not use Google Music to sync your tunes to the cloud allowing you to access them on your phone?
For photos, dropbox auto uploads photos.
This way you never need to plug your phone into your computer to sync

Because like me he probably has all his photos already synced in iphoto and songs in itunes, so adding to his existing libraries without having to do anything extra would be nice. I did however uploaded a big chunk of my music to google music for access anywhere which is coming in handy especially on my runs during lunch.
I was in the same situation as the op. Coming from iphone4s to sgs3. Doubetwist made the transition super easy for me. Of course, you have to install airsync along with it as the current doubletwist software does not support usb transfer via MTP.
