Windows.  Viruses.  Laptops.  Internet.  Office.  Utilities.  Drivers

Greetings to all! When buying smartphones and tablets on IOS, many people don’t even realize that Apple’s operating system is far from Android and they will either have to put up with many of the developers’ quirks or look for a workaround, which is most often paid. Today I wanted to touch on the solution to the issue of downloading music, files, and other things to the iPhone and iPad, since by default this task is not entirely so easy to accomplish. iTunes, the “native” tool for transferring data between PC/Mac and iPhone, iPad and iPod, has never spared the logical thinking of new users - many things simply cannot be understood. Why make it so complicated? In many ways, Apple's anti-piracy policy plays a role here.

It may seem that what could be easier than transferring music from a computer to iOS. But you chose Apple. The policy of the Kupirtians was previously based on everything paid, sold, songs, videos and books. A little later they started offering subscriptions, but now Apple’s greed is just off the charts - they even thought of limiting access to the radio paid subscription, of course, maybe someone would think about subscribing if these were stations High Quality, but essentially there are ordinary radio stations broadcasting online, and 90% of them are far from excellent quality. But we won’t judge Apple for this; that’s not their advantage.

To connect a computer and an iOS device, the iTunes program is used by default, which imposes a number of restrictions on user actions. If you don’t want to put up with Apple’s policies, you want to listen to what you downloaded from the Internet and not bought from Apple servers, add files without restrictions, make backups and much more, while greatly simplifying the process, then the next solution is just for you.

iMazing File Manager

iMazing is excellent replacement"proprietary" solution for managing iOS devices - iTunes. Not only does this program provide much more “freedom” to the user, it is also much more intuitive. All content contained on your portable device, the application conveniently breaks down categories, which are easy to switch between from the side menu. Connecting an iPad, iPhone and iPad are detected automatically, the user can only confirm the fact that he “trusts” the computer by clicking the corresponding item in the pop-up window on the portable device.

In addition to the fact that iMazing makes it possible to view and copy photos, work with a music library and perform basic operations with installed applications, this program also provides access to the file system. Since iOS is a closed operating system, you won’t be able to make any changes to it, but you can clearly see how everything works there and what “lies” where. The application also allows you to backup personal data such as contacts, message notes, and so on.

The design of the program is very similar to that of iTunes, but the interface structure itself is very different from the “proprietary” solution. iMazing allows you to perform data operations using drag and drop, and also supports customizing hotkeys. Unfortunately, it applies to on a paid basis, but before purchasing you can try the program for two weeks without any restrictions on functionality.

Data transfer. Using the application, you can easily copy information from your old iPhone to your new one. To do this, you need to connect two devices to your Mac at the same time, select the necessary data and start the process.

Backups. Saving personal data on a computer or external media just in case. Unlike iTunes, this program does not overwrite backups, but saves a new archive of data each time. It's comfortable.

Music. Freely move audio recordings and other multimedia files between mobile device And desktop computer. For Apple Music this is irrelevant, but the Old Believers will definitely be pleased.

Photos. iMazing is one of the most simple ways transfer photos and videos from your mobile device to your computer and back. With this application you can do this as simply and quickly as possible.

Books. Easy import of books into ePub format or PDF to iBooks app and export back.

Developers iMazing(formerly called DiskAid) took a thorough approach to creating their product, although they made a non-free tool for data transfer. Looking ahead, I can say that it is worth the money (especially for residents of the post-Soviet space who are not accustomed to paying for software).

The first thing you notice after long-term testing is stability. Not a single flight system error or there was no freezing, and this is incredibly pleasing, since the same free pioneers like iFunBox or iTools periodically throw up unpleasant mistakes.

iMazing is a file manager that supports all current versions of OS X and Windows (including OS X El Capitain 10.11 and Windows 10) and is available in 10 languages, including Russian with correct and complete translation.

The tool in question supports all mobile Apple devices with iOS 4.0 and higher installed on board (even retro mobile phones with iPhone OS 3.0 to 3.2 are also included). Already declared iOS support 9. iMazing works with iPhone, iPod touch(including iPod nano and Classic) and iPad. Jailbreak is NOT required!

The second thing that catches your eye is the nice design and ergonomic interface. Of course, it would not hurt the developers to redesign the program to suit modern trends in iOS and OS X with a flat interface, but this is most likely a matter of time. Otherwise, everything is beautiful and definitely pleasing to the eye. There is no confusion during surfing - everything is logical and intuitive.

Data transfer can be carried out either in the classic way via cable or via Wi-Fi. The number of simultaneously connected iOS devices is unlimited.

Interesting and quite useful was the ability to modify data in backup copy, automatically saved to PC/Mac. After connecting the device, all changes made will be immediately saved on the mobile device.


iMazing works with applications, camera, multimedia files (photos, videos, music, audio recordings), messages, contacts, notes, system backups and telephone part (call log and voice messages). By installing the free file manager FileApp for iPhone and iPad, you will be able to use your device as a flash drive, access to the information in which will be provided via Wi-Fi or USB (on PC/Mac, a browser, FTP client, iMazing will be used to transfer data or specialized free software).

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 a few steps in the 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, since there are no alternative ways. Such moments include downloading music and photos to your iPhone or iPad.


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 Apple data ID. And then click on the authorization button. This often helps to cope with problematic loading of applications on the iPhone.


Beginner users Apple technology Sometimes they think that transferring photos from PC to PC is as easy as transferring them in the opposite direction. And they are wrong. When connected to a computer, an iPhone is not recognized as a regular flash drive - this is one of the security measures that reliably protects Apple devices from viruses.

The developers recommend using the iTunes media processor to download files to the iPhone - this method is considered official. However, there are other ways to transfer images, including those that allow you to do without a USB cable. They will also be discussed in this article.

Before you start transferring photos in the official way - that is, through iTunes - you need to perform a number of preparatory steps:

It is impossible to copy photos to an Apple device from different folders - this is one of the significant disadvantages of this method.

After completing the preparatory steps, you can begin the data transfer procedure:

Step 1. Open iTunes and go to the device management menu - click on the button with the image of a smartphone.

Step 2. In the block " Settings» select the tab « Photo».


Step 3. Check the box next to " Synchronize».


Step 4. On the menu " Copy photos from:» click on the item « Select folder».


Step 5. Through " Conductor»Locate the folder on your PC with photos that you want to transfer to your iPhone.


If the folder also contains video files that you would also like to copy to your mobile phone, check the box next to “ Include video in synchronization».


Step 6. Click the button Apply».


Wait for the synchronization to complete, then go to the Photos app on your iPhone. There you will see the folder with the pictures that you copied.

Photos downloaded to iPhone via iTunes cannot be deleted in a standard way . If you open any of these photos, you will see that the icon with the image of a basket is simply not in its usual place.

Deleting such images also needs to be done through a media harvester. Just uncheck the " Synchronize" in the " tab Photo" and start the synchronization process by pressing the " Apply" The folder with photos will disappear from the memory of the mobile device.

How to download photos from PC to iPhone using alternative file managers?

To download photos to iPhone, you can use the Chinese alternative to the iTunes media harvester - iTools. After installing this utility, you must proceed as follows:

Step 1. Connect your mobile device to your PC and launch the program.

Step 2. When iTools detects the device, go to the " Photo» main menu.


Step 3. Click the button Import" and select via " Conductor» folder with the pictures you want to upload.


You won't be able to download photos one by one through iTools.

Step 4. Confirm that you want to copy the folder to your device - click " Yes».


Do not try to understand the question - it is written “crookedly”. Russification is a real problem with the iTools application.

Wait until the import is completed and you will see that the photos have appeared in the gadget’s memory.

Photos downloaded via iTools also cannot be deleted from the smartphone directly - only through a computer utility. But what then is the advantage of an alternative manager over iTunes? The advantages are:

  • Through iTools, you can drop as many folders with photos as you like onto your gadget. In the case of iTunes, downloading a new folder will delete the one that was downloaded previously.
  • iTools does not force the user to sync. This not only saves time, it also makes it possible not to worry about the safety of data on the device that the user has erased from the PC.

If you need to transfer photos to your iPhone one by one, you should use another alternative data manager - iFunBox. You can download the utility. The iFunBox program is good because it allows the computer to identify the Apple device as a flash drive.

You need to copy pictures to iPhone via iFunBox like this:

Step 1. After connecting the smartphone to the PC and launching the utility, go to the “ Quick Toolbox» in the main menu.


Step 2. Click on the icon " Photo».


Step 3. Click " Import» and drag the pictures you want to copy into the window that appears.


Once the import is complete, the photos will be on your mobile device.

iFunBox can only work correctly on the computer on which iTunes is installed.

Warning to users: do not resort to multiple alternative file managers for iPhone! This can lead to a failure, as a result of which all the gadget’s photo albums will be empty, and the pictures will be available only one at a time in the “ Photo» application of the same name.

  1. Turn on the Bluetooth function on your gadget and PC. Pair both devices (if not already paired) using a random PIN generated by one of the devices. The Bluetooth connection of your mobile device will appear in Windows Explorer.
  2. Open the contents of the device, as in the instructions for using the cable. The location of folders and files will be the same. Find the media files you need and copy them to your PC/laptop drive.
  3. At the end of the file sharing session, turn off Bluetooth on your PC and smartphone/tablet unless you currently plan to use other data synchronization options.

But not all users will be able to use this method, since not everyone has Bluetooth installed, and more and more people prefer to transfer data via WiFi.

Transfer data over the Internet

There are dozens of domestic and foreign Internet services called “clouds” (“cloud” storage). Among the Russian ones are Yandex.Disk and cloud.Mail.Ru, the RusFolder service. From foreign - Google Drive, DropBox, and dozens of others. For each of them, both for Android and iOS, versions have been released software clients.

The main requirement is multi-megabit unlimited cellular tariff, preferably without restrictions on high-speed traffic, can also use a Wi-Fi connection to a home or public cable Internet channel.

To connect, for example, to Yandex.Disk, you need the following:

  1. Login to your Mailbox"Yandex.Mail". If you don’t have it, register at mail.yandex.ru. Go to disk.yandex.ru.
  2. Allow - or block - the use of cellular data in the Yandex.Disk settings. When the speed on the tariff is “cut off”, which is why synchronization with the “cloud” can take hours and drain the gadget’s battery, select the “Wi-Fi Only” function.
  3. Select files on your mobile device to transfer. By default, the Yandex.Disk client will copy all files to the server. Available online memory is up to 10 GB per user.
  4. Log in from the same account to Yandex.Disk from a browser on your PC and download these files as from any site.
  5. To transfer files to an iPhone or Android device, follow steps 4-5 in reverse order. Downloading files from mobile browser, For example, Google Chrome or “Yandex.Browser” for Android/iOS is not much different from downloading on their PC versions.

This instruction is the same for Android and iOS.

  • editing, cropping photos and videos online.
