Easy Phone Sync
That's the name of the Samsung's software, that allows you to transfer music, videos, pictures, contacts and text messages from an iPhone to a Samsung galaxy device. Traditionally iPhone users have been reluctant to switch to an Android device because they couldn't use iTunes to manage their content. Easy Phone Sync means people can now enjoy their iTunes content on a Samsung Galaxy phone. What's more is that it's really easy for them to do, and literally takes five minutes to set up.Samsung's use of a third-party application to transfer data is different from the bold approach that was taken by now-defunct Palm, which in 2009 made its webOS operating system trick iTunes into thinking a Palm smartphone was actually an iPod. That sparked a back-and-forth battle in which Apple kept blocking webOS from tricking iTunes, and Palm kept issuing webOS updates to re-enable iTunes sync.
However, Samsung's free "Easy Phone Sync" application does allow users to continue using iTunes software on their PC to manage music, videos and podcasts. That means while iTunes won't handle the syncing, the Samsung application will stay up-to-date with iTunes content.
The application consists of two parts. One part runs on your Samsung Galaxy device, the other on your PC or Mac.
So what you have to do is download and install the "Easy Phone Sync" app from The Google play to your Galaxy phone. And then do the same for your computer. Software for your PC or Mac is downloadable from: http://easyphonesync.com

- Start Easy Phone Sync on your Galaxy phone.
- Open the same program on your PC or Mac
- Plug your phone into a computer. Its important that you have the correct drivers for your Samsung phone installed at this point. If The phone is not connecting to your computer, the easiest way to solve the driver's issue is to download KIES software from Samsung website as it comes with correct, updated drivers and is also useful as a back up system.
- After plugging the phone, you should notice that iTunes will also start to run in the background - if not try to disconnect and reconnect the phone (it happened to me on several ocassions)
If you select “Settings” you can go through all the options for what you want to sync. The software is primarily concerned with transferring music (playlists and podcasts included), but there are also check boxes to transfer saved contacts, text messages, photographs, as well as DRM free Videos! You can go through all of the settings and chose exactly what you want to transfer and when.
