The following article focuses on different channels of listening to music on iPhone 4S. To enjoy music on iPhone 4S, you first need to get the music in iPhone 4S format onto iTunes library(tip: transfer iphone to new computer) and then sync the music to your iPhone 4S.

Step 1. Click "Back Up My Music & Videos to iTunes".

The blue icon means the file is in iTunes library. You can check "Show files not on iTunes only" to filter files that are not in iTunes. If you have a bunch of media files on iTunes, ou can search for any file by typing its name in the Search blank.

Step 2. Select the music/videos you want to backup and click "Back Up".

After finished, click "OK'.

Note: Your iPhone 4S contents will be copied to iTunes and computer simultaneously. The default computer output path is *.My DocumentsiMate. If you want to back up iphone playlist to itunes to a specified place, you can click "Settings" and set the output path as below:

All right, now you have transferred iPhone 4S to iTunes. Similarly, you can use the way to transfer ipod to pc.

By default, iTunes is the only media player that you can use to sync your iPhone and iPod Touch with your computer. However, iTunes is only supported in Mac and Windows, which means Linux users with iPhones will have to find an alternative way to sync their iPhones, or at least get their music into the mobile device. In addition, there may be a large group of Windows users who are using other media players (such as Winamp) to manage their music library and loathe the idea of migrating the whole library to iTunes just because they bought an iPhone.

Step 1: I know this may sound a bit ironic but you'll need iTunes installed so that CTM can find the drivers for your apple device. Also, you'll still need it for syncing apps. In case your iTunes is not up-to-date and you don't feel like downloading another 90MB just for drivers, then CTM has its own driver installer, which you can download here.

Step 2: Download ipod to mac transfer. Once you save it to the desktop, run the software. It'll take some time to start, so be patient. You'll then be greeted to CopyTrans Control Center. From this list, select CTM (Free).

Step 3: The CTM window will pop up with lots of blank windows. Simply connect your iOS device and you're all set. If all your drivers are installed, CTM will immediately recognize your device and display its content if there is any.
