This solution also works to Synchronize iPhone and iPad, two iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone, etc
As seen in a previous post, there's no problem Syncing several iPhones to a single Computer / iTunes
The problem starts when you try to Transfer Music from one iPhone to another
This would be easy if we could just Copy Songs from an iPhone to iTunes and then Synchronize another iPhone with iTunes
But, as explained in our Sync iPhone to iTunes tutorial, iPhone to iTunes transfers are not possible using iTunes
The solution:
First Import Music from iPhone to iTunes with a dedicated software
Then, Synchronize a second iPhone with iTunes, which, at the end equals to Transferring Songs from one iPhone to another
Just follow these steps
- Copy Music from the first iPhone to iTunes
- Then, just Sync the second iPhone with iTunes
Notes & possible issues
- This solution transfers all personal settings between two iPhones: playlists, ratings and so on ( see complete list )
So, that's a very safe way to fully Synchronize two iPhones

Dear Toni,
It’s gonna be nearly impossible to Transfer data from one iPhone to another without iTunes
What you can do is to Transfer data from your old iPhone to your computer

I don’t get it. If you use an ipad2 as your prime media device (no laptop/ibook etc) and you want to sync the, say music, videos etc onto your iphone (3) because that’s the one in your pocket – you can’t do it? You have to have iTunes resident on a computer and sync both independently off that?
Dear Tim,
That’s correct
In the Apple / iTunes ecosystem your iPad is just a larger iPhone, not a computer
It’s a peripheral that synchronizes with a computer / iTunes
