I am sure there are a bunch of threads on this but my situation is a bit different. My iphone is scynd to a mac and I have a pc laptop while overseas. I do not have access to my mac to copy files or anything. I just want to plug my iPhone and add stuff to it without losing everything on it now. Thanks
Download the latest version of Sharepod, which if you're not already aware of will allow you to add files to your iPhone as well as move files from it to your PC. I hope that helps.
I am a little confused. My Verizon phone was able to roam on GSM because they used TDMA. Tell it was shutdown. The phone recognizes it as Analog. If PCS has TDMA, It could be technically be used on GSM.

Thanks for this but I must be doing something wrong when i check manually manage all songs and then apple i still get the this will erase your iphone do you want to continue message.
Unless one syncs all iTunes music on the iPhone at 128k using the iTunes option to save space on the phone. I store all my music originally on my computer at high bitrate or even lossless formats. I wouldn't want compressed 128k files messing up or infecting my library system.
If you're talking about exporting to the second computer for use with iTunes, and if it were converted to 128k from lossless on the first computer. What is the difference if you're listening to it on the phone and not going to listen to it on the second computer? The OP wants to ADD stuff not extract to the second computer for an iTunes sync. iTools 2012 lets you add or extract all sorts of content without any need for iTunes usage.
Also, if you sync(iTunes) back to the first computer, the added music(using iTools) will be removed from the phone.. not added to your library. If you're a stickler about lossless, why would you be dealing with anything but lossless also on the second computer? Then to save the newly added music to the first computer, you simply extract it with iTools and add to the iTunes library, then sync in iTunes. No loss in quality.

As long as the 3rd party software takes into consideration the way one's iPhone's iPod library is set up through iTunes, then fine. As in my previous post, I have lossless files on my computer, 128k AAC files on the iPhone. I would never want to extract those 128k AAC files from the phone to anywhere.
In thinking about this all, I would just log the second computer into the iTunes store with the same Apple ID used with the first computer and turn on the auto download music feature with both the iPhone and first computer. That way any new purchased iTunes music made with the second computer will auto add to both the iPhone and the first computer, wirelessly without deleting anything. As for non iTunes store music, I would just use a 3rd party music app like O Player on the iPhone and put the non iTunes store music there and make playlists, then add it to the first computer's iTunes library when I got home. Looking at the O Player app in the app store, it claims you can add a friend's iTunes music as well.
You obviously do not know how iTools works, it places the files into the iPhone just as iTunes would so you can access them in iPod/Music app, just doesn't change the encoding at all(if the OP added it lossless it would stay that way). THE OP IS "NOT" EXTRACTING THEM TO THE FIRST NOR THE SECOND COMPUTER. He will just be adding music to the existing on the phone and if he tries to sync it in iTunes on the first computer, the newly added music will simply be removed from the phone, unless he decides to extract(if it was lossless to begin with, it would stay that way) the newly added music first to the first computer's iTunes library and then sync it back. <disclaimer>No music quality is ever harmed in the process of making this happen.<disclaimer>
