In recent years, to be able to interact with our iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, it was a fundamental requirement to have iTunes installed on our computer. As the years have passed, other very interesting alternatives have arrived that do not require this application to be able to copy or extract content from our iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
But as iOS has evolved, the need to resort to iTunes to perform any operation has been considerably reduced, reaching the current point, where we can only use it to make backup copies and restore our device, since Apple removed access to the App Store in the last update.
Apple has been eliminating iTunes functions to force us to allow users to do without a PC or Mac in most cases to search for applications, redeem promotional codes, search for applications that we have previously purchased ... allowing us to add music to the device and photo albums, since we cannot add ringtones directly through the application. The latest big iTunes update has made an application quite lame that in one day grouped together a large number of functions.

Once we have managed to download iTunes on Windows and it has been installed correctly on our computer, iTunes will show us a new window where it offers us the possibility of downloading iCloud, Apple's cloud data storage and synchronization system. This application is essential if we want all the data on our device to always be synchronized with our iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, including access to the iCloud Photo Library.
