| 1309475 | 2012-10-30 19:29:00 | The bonjour service can be disabled - itunes will moan the first time it's launched without bonjour running, but you can ignore it :) Here's some info on what it does: support.apple.com The rest of the services are useful, so you can put them in a batch file as kingdragonfly suggested. MediaMonkey will happily deal with importing/synching mp3s & movies on your iphone - not sure on apps though. |

Winamp did a better job Haven't had a problem with it so far. Only use it for loading files onto a 6G Nano though. Nothing else (except iTunes I expect) would add the files properly - they wouldn't show up in the iPod. They would be there on disk, but the thing wouldn't play them, just said there was nothing there. |

| 1309478 | 2012-10-30 20:46:00 | Last time I used MM, you had to select so many options to get the thing to sync properly. At least with Winamp, all you do is click on whatever and send or something, and it was there. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1309479 | 2012-10-30 20:55:00 | In MediaMonkey I just add the files I want to the default playlist and then tell it to send the lot to the iPod. You can delete the playlist off the iPod afterwards if you want, the files all stay there. |

| 1309480 | 2012-10-30 23:18:00 | I looked at MM and Winamp. MM requires itunes according to these instructions: Prepare the iPod / iPhone (or compatible device) 1.Connect your iPod and run iTunes With Winamp, it doesn't "discover" the iphone. I suspect that both these program require itunes. I note that windows explorer only shows the pics the iphone has. The video isn't shown. Using ifunbox, I can see where the video is stored and can retrieve it. Raw file system/user/media/iphonerecorder. The application which takes the video is called iphone video recorder 3.1 The batch file worked. It's been many years since I had to create a batch file so I had to have a crash refresher course. |

First I tried Winamp which didn't work, and then I got MediaMonkey which did. Perhaps if I did use it with iTunes, it would then work in Winamp, but MediaMonkey works and I don't want to install iTunes so that's how I'm going to keep it. |

| 1309482 | 2012-10-30 23:35:00 | As an update to this: I'd set the 3 Apple/itune/ipod/iphone items: Bonjour, Ipod service and apple mobile device to manual. Upon running the ifunbox and connection the iphone via USB, I find the Apple Mobile device has "started"... All on its' own. So, this appears to eliminate the batch file step! Now I'm looking closely at whether I can completely uninstall Bonjour, Apple application support, etc Thanks to those who helped, gave suggestions and offered experience. Hope this is helpful. Will update as I learn more... |

Mine iphone doesnt show in the locations list including "my computer", network etc. Perhaps it's already too old being a 2G running 3.1.3? Am I missing a step? |

| 1309484 | 2012-10-31 01:59:00 | Having never even used an iPhone I am not sure, but perhaps it's a problem like mentioned here: www.troublefixers.com or www.applei.ph (which suggests the use of a program "iphonefolders" from http://iphonefolders.com/) |
