How to Use Palm Pre With iTunes

Use an HP/Palm Pre smartphone with iTunes by installing Salling Media Sync.

HP/Palm Pre smartphones include a pre-installed "Music" app for playing digital audio files. You can transfer audio files to your HP/Palm Pre by connecting it to a computer using a Micro USB to standard USB cable. If you already have all of your music imported into Apple's iTunes media organizer, you may want to sync your iTunes Library to the phone directly from iTunes. You can not sync to an HP/Palm Pre with iTunes alone, but it is possible by installing the program Salling Media Sync to your computer. A free version is available, but for faster syncing speeds, you will need to pay for the full version.

1. Open your Internet browser and visit salling.com.

2. Click the "Salling Media Sync" link under "Windows Products" or "Mac Products," depending on your computer's operating system.

6. Click the "Sync" button in Salling Media Sync to sync your iTunes Library to your HP/Palm Pre smartphone.
