With the active distribution of Apple products, more and more consumers are becoming familiar with additional software from this company. For this reason, you may be wondering what iTunes is. Let us immediately note that this free program from the Apple concern, which is an intermediary for file exchange. This application was not introduced by chance. Thus, developers protect their users from pirated products. However, most content is subject to payment. But if you don't know what it is iTunes Store, then it’s worth checking out this service. Here you will find and free apps, which can also be downloaded, and their selection is unusually large. Of course, for users paid programs- this is a significant minus. But on the other hand, developers have an incentive to release new applications, which means that more quality games and programs.
What is iTunes for?
So, we have looked at what iTunes is, and now we should indicate the purpose of its work. First of all, the program is required for organizing media files, watching videos and listening to audio files. Using the application, the user can synchronize content with any device, but this is required if there is no Internet on this equipment. As you know, any iPad or iPhone has the ability to connect wireless internet, and the standard package initially includes iTunes. If this program is already installed on your tablet or phone, then the process of downloading and installing content is greatly simplified. You just need to open the program, go to the Store and find the section you are interested in. Next, you start downloading, after which the application is automatically installed.
If iTunes is installed on your PC, then first you will need to download the game or program you are interested in, and then synchronize your tablet with the program. The remaining actions will be performed automatically. Of course, in order to work with iTunes, you need to not only install the program, but also register.
How to get started?
You already know what iTunes is, but that's not enough to successful work. During installation, the program creates an empty media library, but for convenience, you can specify a different location for storing files. To move content to your media library when launching iTunes hold Shift key. After this, a message will appear asking you to select a media library. Remember that the program does not support all formats, which simply do not appear in the list. And finally, all files are sorted into categories: “Movies”, “Music”, “Books”, “Photos”. We've looked at what the iTunes library is, now it's worth mentioning additional services, of which there are many Apple.
What are podcasts?
Simply put, a podcast is a separate program or series of programs that are regularly published online. In this case, the video format is laid out in Flash format, and the audio is MP3. This is necessary to ensure that the download process proceeds as quickly as possible. First, let's define what podcasting is. This is a way to distribute various video or audio programs. This service was organized so that the user could automate the process of downloading new releases. The files are downloaded to your computer, after which they can be viewed or listened to on the player.
Most operations in iTunes can only be performed while connected to the Internet. Otherwise, you will have to install the application on your PC, download files and then synchronize them with the device. In any case, you get access to services, but if there is no Internet connection directly on the device, all actions become a little more complicated.
We described in detail what iTunes is on the iPhone and other Apple devices. Now it’s worth pointing out detailed description some sections.
Music
In this section, you can manage all the music tracks on your device, move them to the standard player, synchronize playlists, and so on. If you purchased any third party applications to play audio files, then the music in most cases will appear in the new player.
As for the video, it must be transferred to a specific, previously installed application. You have to do this yourself, since there is no automatic import of records function.
Information
Here you have the option to sync contacts with Windows Address Book.
Movies
This section also synchronizes and downloads movies from the iTunes video library to the iPad.
The remaining tabs - “Books”, “Photos”, “TV Shows”, “Podcasts” perform the same functions. Using them, you can easily move files of certain formats, sort them, move them to standard application for viewing and so on.
How to move music to iPad?
Many users ask the question about the word “iTunes” - what is it? The iTunes translation can be interpreted as follows: literally, without the prefix “i”, tunes means “melodies”. That is, the program was originally created to carry out various operations with media files. One of the main ones is moving music from a computer to a tablet. For this purpose, in the toolbar located on the right side, create one or more playlists. Click on the small plus sign on the toolbar and enter a name. After that, go to the created list and open the folder on your computer where the songs are located. Move them to the playlist window. But this is all preparation, and now you need to download it all directly to the device. For this purpose, go to the iPad section, then select the “Music” tab and click on the created playlist.
Of course, music can also be placed in a general media library, but if there are a lot of songs, then confusion will arise.
iTunes Match
Apple provides a wide range of services for its users. Many additional applications apply to on a paid basis. So what is iTunes Match and what is it used for? This program gives you access to music library to listen to audio files anywhere in the world. Of course, an Internet connection is required. Of particular value is presented for those music lovers who are not limited to thousands of compositions. If you don't know iTunes, then it's worth listening to at least a few songs. The program reproduces audio files in high quality without distorting them or reducing quality.
This function is similar to iCloud app, only the compositions are not sent to devices, but loaded into storage. All music files from your PC, tablet or phone will be stored in one place, rather than on different sources.
How do I enable the iTunes Match app?
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- Go to the iTunes Store tab.
- Click on the "Enable iTunes Match" tab.
How the program works
Having subscribed to the service and launched it, the program scans the music library, comparing the contents with the Music Store database. When matches are identified, the service passes them through and adds them to your cloud. Unfound songs can be downloaded directly from the computer. Once you create your media library, you will have 24/7 access to it without taking up disk space.
So, we have indicated what iTunes Match is, and now we will tell you what this application is required for:
- To free up space on your hard drive, mobile device or tablet. At any time, hundreds of gigabytes of music are available to the user, which could simply not fit on the above devices.
- You don't need to constantly synchronize your tablet or phone with your computer to download new songs. One subscription to the program is enough, and all songs added to the library are immediately added to the general storage. Moreover, tracks can be downloaded from the cloud for offline listening.
- On your account or bank card There must always be the required amount on time for payment (about 800 rubles).
Under what conditions should I purchase an iTunes Match subscription?
- You must have a large media library, otherwise there is no point in subscribing. 400-500 files can be downloaded directly to the device. It is advisable when downloading at least 25 thousand files.
- Songs are downloaded in formats supported by iTunes: AAC, MP3, WAV.
- Availability unlimited internet with a speed of at least 1 Mbit/sec.

In conclusion, it can be noted that despite a large number of paid services, there are no fewer program users. The amount of payment in most cases is small, and it is difficult to overestimate the benefits of applications. In addition, the article does not list all available services for the reason that there are incredibly many of them. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the program and appreciate all its advantages.

The questions that open before you must be answered correctly. Next, go to the Security section. Click Change Password. Next, enter your current password and a new one, check the data and save.
And I decided to watch a couple of films on it. You have to use it, otherwise it will gather dust again.
I went to the iTunes Store. I rented two films that I had been wanting to see for a long time.
The iPad offered to start playing immediately without waiting for loading. Great! I poured out the popcorn, poured the coffee, inserted the AirPods and pressed Play.
Was sent.
Once again. Many different times until both films disappeared from the library - due to the end of the rental period.
Thank you, Apple.
Why rent movies at all?
If you can rent a movie on iTunes, it's trivial cheaper.
Admit it, you don’t want to watch most films a second time. Blockbusters, thrillers, comedies - many of them are enough for just one viewing. This is fine.
If you like the movie so much that you want to watch it again and again, then buy it forever, no question. But most often rental helps spend less money for the same thing. By at least, this is how I motivate myself by clicking on the button in the iTunes Store.
Example? "All the Money in the World": 449 rub. per purchase, 199 rub. for rental. Save 250 rubles per viewing.
Or here "Murder in Orient Express» : 399 rub. per purchase, 199 rub. for rent. Saving 200 rubles. It’s like a penny, but in percentage terms it’s half as much.
At the same time, the quality of picture and sound in films rented does not differ from those purchased. So in theory, rental on iTunes is very pleasing.
It’s just implemented in such a way that you don’t want to use it.
What is the difference between renting an iTunes movie and simply purchasing it?
All movies on iTunes are sold with FairPlay DRM protection. That is, you can only play them in iTunes for Mac and Windows, as well as in the built-in iOS video player, where they are added automatically after purchase.
To play, you must be logged in to the same Apple account ID from which the purchase was made. In the case of Mac and PC, you need to additionally authorize the device in iTunes.
All this leads to the fact that you won’t be able to download a movie, throw it on an Android smartphone or throw it to your friends, regardless of piracy laws (ouch). For us lovers Apple gadgets, It's not a problem. There is Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, the same MacBook, where you can play a purchased movie once or twice.
With rentals, everything is a little more complicated.
iTunes movie rentals have more stringent play rules. For example, they have a built-in timer that prevents them from starting after the rental period has expired. There are additional restrictions on interacting with the video and audio stream. You cannot watch one such movie from several Apple devices at the same time.
Until the middle of the past Apple of the Year did not allow me to watch rented films on any of my devices other than the one from which the rental was paid for. After the first launch, the film was deleted after 24 hours, that is, there was exactly a day to complete the viewing.
It’s good that these restrictions have been relaxed.
Why pay for movies at all?
This is where I step into a minefield, because I'm sure most of you instinctively don't pay for digital versions of TV shows and movies. This is the sad Russian reality, in which the idea don't pay for someone else's work considered normal.
Yes, I pay for movies. For TV series too. Let their creators earn billions, and my measly two hundred rubles will dissolve in them. But I supported them with a ruble, got acquainted with the product and got my hour or two of entertainment. This is an equal exchange.
Behind each film there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands of people - all of them also want to make money. Just like you and me. Many of the harsh and unpleasant restrictions in the world of digital properties began as methods of combating piracy, not out of the greed of studios and distributors.
Besides, I love good high-quality Dolby sound, which is easy to appreciate even in AirPods, not to mention home theater. And I also prefer original audio track, because Russian dubbing is most often offered in dull stereo. Not to mention the fact that the dubbing itself and its voices always leave much to be desired.
In the iTunes Store, movies in 95% of cases have the original multi-channel soundtrack and good subtitles for those films where words in another language are difficult to comprehend by ear. Switching all this is convenient in the built-in player, it takes two seconds.
So, in terms of playing movies, there are no complaints about Apple - everything is really convenient. But according to mechanics it is rental makes you suffer so that sometimes you wonder.
Why do I pay for rentals and suffer?
From the moment of payment, a 30-day period begins, after which the film is deleted from the devices and is no longer available. You have to buy it again.
If you start playback (iTunes prompts you to do so immediately), the retention period is reduced to 48 hours. There are two days left to watch the film. Not much, but it should be enough unless something unexpected happens in life.
Apple is logically not interested in or concerned with the problems of our lives. But what about her own mistakes?
So here's my situation. There is an iPad and two movies rented from iTunes.
I put both on download. It's indecently slow. After 40 minutes, the files are downloaded at 5-6% each, although the Internet at home is 60 Mbit/sec. Okay, I won't wait, I'll start playing. iTunes warns that the movie will be deleted after 2 days. I agree.
And then it pops up error:
To play a movie via AirPlay, it must be fully downloaded.
I'm confused because the iPad only has AirPods connected. I knock them out. Same error again.
Now I'm confused. At this download speed, the movie will only be downloaded by tomorrow morning. OK, let’s say I’ll watch it in the evening, just in time before it’s automatically deleted.
I'm trying to watch my second rental movie with my AirPods turned off. I get exactly the same error. And a timer started for 48 hours.
I'm already angry because I have two films that are impossible to watch now, but they swing terribly slowly. I leave the iPad and do other things in the hope that everything will be downloaded during this time.
That evening I pick up my tablet and see a happy message:
I open “Video”, and indeed, both films are not loaded at all. I try to launch any, I get the same AirPlay error. I reboot the iPad, kick the AirPort router, and set it to download again. I go to bed.
Watching a movie from an iPhone is not at all the same, but you don’t have a Mac at hand. After a dozen attempts to fix something, I give up this useless task, because time is more valuable.
In the evening of the second day both films are removed from my library. I couldn't watch any of them.
Morality? Let’s compare my experience with those who don’t worry and watch movies on the Internet. Free, not entirely legal.
The result? I wasted 450 rubles, wasted time and nerves. Because I wanted the filmmakers to have my two cents. Because I wanted to support what Apple itself and the distributors are mercilessly fighting for.
The end of the story is predictable. I ended up watching both films. With crappy sound and a slightly worse picture, but fast, convenient and easy.
It's very sad that movie piracy is more respectful of your time than the most famous digital store films in the world. Apple, what the hell.
So be careful with your rental. It could be pain
From the very beginning website opposes piracy in any of its manifestations. Good creativity and work in any form must be paid if you want to get acquainted with it.
But the fact that Apple doesn’t bother with a bunch of shortcomings and errors in its own video rental service is not at all encouraging.
Okay, I threw money away, even if it was small. I'll survive. Only another person will look at this tin and decide: oh come on. And he’ll go watch repressed “rips” on sites with porn advertising. One-zero is not in favor of the law and simple respect for the work of other people.
Draw whatever conclusions you want, but I’m done with renting on iTunes for now. A it's a pity. And this is indicative of everything that is now being done in Cupertino.
One of the main advantages of Apple products is the versatility and portability of their devices. The developers have made sure that users can easily synchronize their iPhone with their computer using a program such as iTunes. This application allows you to transfer and edit media files. It is quite easy to use, since iTunes is equipped with a wide range of convenient functions. All that remains is to figure out how to connect and register with iTunes.
iTunes is not just a utility or add-on, but rather a huge media combine that includes a user store of music, movies, books and many other useful things. Have an extensive base for modern iPhone or an iPad is a very necessary solution. In addition, it is not necessary to purchase paid content: the essence of the store is not at all in the sales and distribution of media files (although this is important for developers), but in the complete or maximum possible disposal of pirated copies and fakes. This desire is completely justified and, naturally, brings certain benefits.

The program's capabilities are extensive, which is one of its advantages. Everything is aimed solely at simplifying the process of synchronization and “communication” between devices.
Where to download and how to use iTunes on a computer
You can download and install the program on your PC from the official Apple website. When you first launch iTunes, it creates a media library, the placement of files of which is chosen by the user. Subsequently, several media libraries can be used at once, if this is convenient for the user when synchronizing his iPhone and iPad. Any files from your computer are loaded into the media library. It doesn't matter how they got there: from iTunes store or some other way. Please note that some files will not be displayed. This means the file format is invalid. More precisely, the device simply does not support this format. The solution to the problem is to install special application, which will work with a similar format.
