iTunes: Digital Music Basics (Issue 27)

Take it with you.

Now all your music can come along for the ride (or the run or the flight). Just connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and iTunes automatically syncs your music. Or you can select which songs to take with you.

Reduce clutter.

You probably have more shelf space devoted to CDs than to photos. With iTunes, you can import your entire CD collection into your computer — so all your favorite music lives in one place, ready to search, organize, and play in a click. And no CDs mean no packaging and no waste — which also means going digital is better for the environment.

Get instant gratification.

Spare yourself a trip to the record store. Stop waiting for CDs to arrive in the mail. Buying music online from the iTunes Store means you can shop any time, day and night. Buy songs, starting at 69¢, one at a time — or buy whole albums — and they start downloading immediately.

Mix and match music.

iTunes lets you organize and play your music in a whole new way. Take playlists, for example. Create a new one and drag songs into it, ready to play or burn to a CD. Or create a Smart Playlist that iTunes fills automatically according to your preferences.

Learn how to go digital with iTunes.

iTunes is a music player and a music store all in one. Use it to import songs from CDs you already own. Or add new music to your collection from the iTunes Store. All your music in one place and a built-in music store on your computer means no more rifling through jewel cases, no more trips to the megastore, and an easy way to get everything from your computer to your iPod — ready to play on the go.

iTunes: iTunes on the Go (Devices) (Issue 26)

iTunes on the Go

iTunes Store on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Download music, movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and iTunes U content directly to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Just tap the iTunes icon to shop the iTunes Store via Wi-Fi on your iPod touch or via Wi-Fi and 3G on your iPhone or iPad. Browse the iTunes Store and get Genius recommendations for music, movies, and TV shows based on the ones you already own. When you get back to your computer, everything you bought syncs to your iTunes library. And if you’ve partially downloaded music or video to your device, iTunes completes the download automatically.

App Store

Search and browse games and apps on the iTunes Store — just as you would with music or video — and download them with a click. When you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer, iTunes syncs apps automatically. You can also download apps from the App Store directly to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Genius Recommendations

for Apps

Looking for new apps? Use Genius recommendations for apps in the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Genius helps you find great apps based on the ones you already have. And you can download and start using them right away.

iBooks and the iBookstore

Download the iBooks app free from the App Store and begin browsing, shopping, and reading books right on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. The iBooks app uses the ePub format so publishers can easily create iBookstore versions of your favorite reads. When you find a title you like, tap to download and begin flipping through pages — just like a paper book.

Ringtones for Your iPhone

You can buy ringtones of your favorite songs directly from the iTunes Store on your iPhone. So download a favorite, then assign a ringtone to a contact in a few taps. You’ll know who’s calling before you even look at your iPhone.

Advantages of using iPod Touch rather than iPod Classic

The iPhone has already proven to be a success with the public. Therevolutionary features of this gadget have made everyone to look for it, including the media and technology fans.

iTunes: iTunes Syncing (Devices) (Issue 25)

iTunes Syncing

Sync with iPod

To transfer music and more from iTunes to your iPod, just connect iPod to your computer. Get at-a-glance information about what’s on your iPod, update iPod software, and control syncing from the iPod Summary screen. Even sync iTunes purchases, ratings, and playlists from your iPod back to your Mac or PC.

Sync with iPhone

iTunes syncs everything to your iPhone — ringtones, music, video, photos, apps, contacts, calendars, email accounts, even bookmarks — and lets you manage it all from the iPhone Summary screen.

Sync with iPad

iTunes lets you put music, video, and more on your iPad. Choose what you want from the iPad Summary page in iTunes, then sync your favorite songs, movies, and pictures to go. iTunes also keeps your email accounts, contacts, and calendars in sync. And it tracks the music, video, apps, and books you purchase on your iPad, so you can sync them back to your Mac or PC.

Flexible Syncing Preferences

iTunes gives you even better ways to sync your media from your computer to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. A new capacity bar tells you exactly how much space you have left on your device in real time. And it’s even easier to organize all your apps on all your devices because you do it in iTunes. Shop the App Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then connect to your Mac or PC and go to your iTunes library to arrange (and rearrange) your apps and add or delete Home screens that sync to your devices automatically.

Organize Your Home Screens

Organize all the apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iTunes on your computer. Connect your device, then go to the Apps tab in iTunes. Arrange, rearrange, add, or delete your apps and Home screens. iTunes automatically syncs any changes you make on your Mac or PC back to your device.

Sync to Fill

Let iTunes choose what goes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod for you. When you sync, select “Automatically fill remaining space with songs.” If you have space left, iTunes will choose a perfect mix of songs to sync. iTunes syncs songs from your entire music library or from a specific playlist. You can also tell iTunes to choose songs randomly or to choose higher-rated songs more often. Or you can have iTunes replace everything on your device with a fresh mix. Want to sync more music? Convert higher-bit-rate songs to 128-Kbps AAC and you’ll free up space for even more entertainment.

iTunes: iTunes at Home (Devices) (Issue 24)

AirPlay lets you stream digital media wirelessly from iTunes, or your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to the new Apple TV3 or any AirPlay-enabled speakers. So you can see movies and photos on your widescreen TV and play music through the best speakers in the house.

Update to iTunes 10, and you can create a Genius playlist or edit an existing playlist. And do it all on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were in front of your computer. Available on the App Store, Remote is free and works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home.

Home Sharing

Home Sharing enables you to share music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your house. Your shared computers appear in iTunes under Shared, where you can browse all the iTunes libraries and import your favorites. iTunes can automatically add new purchases made on any of the computers to your own library.
