Why we love your iPhone? Of course, because this device is capable of many things: music, podcasts, movies, photos, news, surfing the Internet and, of course, the application. The most relevant and interesting is in your same pocket. However, to control all of these media and the economy, you will need a special mediakombayn from Apple - iTunes. Undoubtedly, he is good in many respects, except, perhaps, a friendly interface to novice. Many simply can not (or will?) To develop such a feature-rich product. And then into the act the other "players" that will help to manage your media library on iOS-device.
iFunBox
Probably the most popular client for Mac and Windows. Is able to import and export music, movies, books, sets the application or produces file operations such as is common in older systems - by dragging the content of the window utility.
As a bonus, the latest version of iFunBox learn how to install and update applications, and automatically download the ones that have been listed as a desirable and began handing out free. Last, it must be said, a great idea! Many are entered in the list of different software and game AppZapp, but that, unfortunately, is not able to download them to the point discount. iFunBox in this respect is simply irreplaceable. Unfortunately, all this is true only for Windows version.
iTools
Another very popular utility for Windows, Mac and even iOS (for the latter need jailbreak) directly from Hong Kong. It is able to slightly less than the previous representative, but those who download music and videos to your iOS-device should be enough with a vengeance. Not burdened with unnecessary functionality and has no cumbersome interface. As iFunBox, you can use your iPhone as a removable storage device that is very necessary for people who have recently moved to the Android-smartphone. Perhaps the most optimal utility of all that is available for OS X.
Official website (free)DiskAid
On this application I I mentioned on "Makradara" pages. Quite functional file manager and multimedia content on your iOS devices. One of the most important advantages compared to the competition (if you can call it) - it's syncing over WiFi data. In order to "Throw" music or video on the device, not necessarily connect it directly to a computer, it is enough that the two devices are in one network. And then it all depends on your router.
Official site (from $ 29.90)CopyTrans
This mastodon of all alternatives to the standard iTunes. It includes a lot of modules, which are united by a common application header. Unfortunately, unlike the others, it runs only on Windows-based computers. For unknown reasons, the support version for OS X (with a different name - xPort) developers abandoned, and now you can find it only in their page-museum dedicated to the non-renewable software.
Official website ($ 29.96)iExplorer
No, with the Internet Explorer application is in no way connected. At its core, performs all the same actions as the previous representatives: can export text messages (SMS, iMessage), and also allows you to work with iOS-like handheld device with a standard folder: In the Finder (or Explorer Windows) your device will appear as a removable disk, click on which will open it available folder.
Separately, exclusively for music (if you, for example, only the iPod), note SharePod ($ 20) from the same developer.
Official website ($ 34.99)
