But, I got my playlist updated, so there’s that. I’m banging my head against my desk as I write this. iCloud always wants to install, and you have to authorize your phone every time you plug it in without iTunes for Windows.
Anything else can be tricky and require looking up how to use it. You think this might all be worth it, but to be honest, I have always found the interface easy to use, assuming you’re just doing the basics. All I want to do is manage my playlist, but Apple wants to take over your PC. It also comes with at least one startup item and a few processes. After installation, you will have Apple Application Support (32 AND 64 bit), Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour (ugh), and one more… oh yeah, iTunes. It wants to take over as your default player. ITunes for Windows is something most Windows geeks who use an iPhone consider a necessary evil. ITunes for Windows lets you connect and manage your Apple devices to your Windows computer.
