Explaining iTunes, iPhones and iPads: for Windows Users

This ‘ehandbook’ is derived from the author’s personal experiences as a willing user of Windows and an equally willing user of the iPhone and of the iPad – but an ever more unwilling user of iTunes and Apple’s apparent philosophy (of “Apple Knows What Is Best For You (Not You)).

His experiences have thrown up issues and problems which he has found difficult to solve or even to understand, in spite of spending much time researching possible solutions as well as using Apple’s own resources, the Internet and various books. This has been all the more frustrating for the author because he has spent more than 25 years assisting clients with technology – explaining it as well as solving problems.

This ehandbook is not intended to be either a comprehensive guide to using any of the iPhone, iPad, iTunes nor to Windows. Instead it for Windows users who find themselves frustrated when using their iPhone or iPad with iTunes. Best deals ebooks download Explaining iTunes, iPhones and iPads on amazon.Its purpose is to try to explain and, where possible, show how various activities that Windows users might expect to do in a simple manner can be performed with or for an iPhone or iPad when connected to iTunes..
A key aspect within this is understanding how Apple sees its iTunes Store as a huge distribution hub for selling digital content. You may think your iPhone or Pad (or iPod or even Apple TV) are the center of your universe but you will discover that these are not regarded by Apple as self-standing or self-supporting devices – but ‘merely’ as users of its digital warehouse.
The ehandbook also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of going beyond iTunes – where you decide if you wish to break out of Apple’s constraints by ‘jailbreaking’ your iPhone and/or iPad and in so doing move beyond Apple's chains as well as how you can start to do this.

Intended audience: the primary audience for this ehandbook is that group of people who have an iPhone and/or iPad who also run iTunes on Microsoft’s Windows. The focus is on Windows users (though the contents may also be of use to OS X users.)
