If pockets are an issue I doubt you're ever going to have a solution that beats arm band. I don't really know what the world is like with a 6+, since I'm a respectable human with a 6.

Just buy a Spibelt like that one guy suggested. If your phone is too huge and hits you in the dick or something turn it around and put it on your rear end.

An Android device just came to mind, because there are plenty of ~2012 models out there going for pennies. Most devices don't retain their resale value as well as Apple products do.

So I have an iPhone 5C, that really doesn't loving matter as my problem is with iTunes in general. So I had a previous computer that had all my music on it. I sync'd it up with my iPhone and a few months later that computer died. I have a new computer now, with only two albums on it that I've gotten. I wanted to add those to my phone, but found out today that I can't add them with deleting all my other music. This is starting to piss me off because I have 419 songs and no way to preserve them. Am I SoL? Should I dump my phone for anything non-Apple? Or is there some kind of hope that I can add these 45 new songs to my existing library. Because eventually this is going to become a problem when that list of 45 gets larger. EDIT: Oh poo poo, seems like you guys are talking about alternatives. Doesn't seem to help with the situation of my music currently on my phone but I might be able to get one of my old Droids to run my music instead once I got the music off the iPhone.

Did you buy the songs from iTunes music store or did you rip them from albums? If you didn't purchase them from iTunes, then there are programs like SharePod that let you transfer music off your iPhone to your computer. If you're on OS X, then Senuti does the same thing.

After you do what RhoA said, don't use the sync feature. That's for grandmoms and idiots who don't know the most basic computer concepts like "file management".

Yeah I just found one, praying it works correctly. Now if only I could stop my iPhone from always trying to get me to sign into iCloud (no thanks). EDIT: Great. All this poo poo costs money. For something I'm only going to do once I'm not really feeling it.

Also, you used to be able to get all of your music off of an iPod if it was formatted for a PC. You just open it up and drag the files out. They were all named weird 4 character nonsense like 47DE, but when you imported them into itunes, it had all the correct info on it.

I believe the trial version of SharePod still lets you transfer music off of your iPhone, but only 10 or so at a time rather than just being able to select the whole lot. It'll take more time, but I honestly can't think of a better solution than just taking some time to do it that way.

The one I had downloaded only had 100 actions so I was expecting all of them to be like that. I'll give SharePod a try. One upside is I found an old mp3 player I used to use that has most of my music. I might be able to skip all this downloading if I can find my remaining CDs.

This is most likely going to be my only Apple product I ever own (got it because I had a $100 rebate for a phone and it was $99.99 at the time.  ) so I don't want it to upload a bunch of personal stuff that stays there after I replace this thing in a year or so.Plus I hate cloud based systems in general. Don't trust 'em.

I think I ran out of space after 3 photos and 1 video. 5GB is absurdly too small, and the reason why my phone hasn't been backed up since like the second week I had my 6. It's too annoying to plug in and clean off on a weekly basis.

Just pay $.99/mo and back it up. Don't get why people refuse to pay such a small amount.

If only you could choose to sync all your important data except photos and keep backups in case something happens to your phone! Maybe 5gb would be enough for a couple devices that way? Just turn off photo syncing and let your device do its painless backups, you weirdos.

My iPhone backup is 495.8 MB and my photo library of 1098 photos and 32 videos is 2.4 GB. I'm not really sure how you're eating up all 5 GB with one backup. More interesting my iPad backup is 5.2 GB and I have no idea what's doing that.

Yeah OneDrive is a shockingly good product. I've managed to wrack up 40+ permanent gigs free easily and I think I've got an extra 100 for 2 years? iCloud storage prices are a piss-take in comparison.
