You will need to learn how to download music to iPhone if you've taken the plunge with Apple's latest. The Apple iPhone is carrying on Apple's great success with the iPod. Now, consumers are able to carry around their music collection on the same machine that they use for texting and telephone calls. I'm sure you will want to avail yourself of this wonderful opportunity to build a portable music collection, so where do you start?

The first consideration is the hardware you need to be able to do the downloading in the first place. As well as your new trusty iPhone, you will need access to a personal computer with an internet connection, and a connecting lead to connect you iPhone to your computer. The final need is for a site from which you can download the music files, and it is here where you need to exercise the most care.

Your computer can be pretty much anything. As long as it wasn't built over a decade ago, it is more than likely to be sufficient for the needs of downloading music. The internet connection is more significant, and if you are lucky enough to have one of the new super fast broadband connections, take full advantage of it. If you are stuck on a slow dial up connection, you can still download music, it will just take longer. At least you only have to download the file once to have it on your hard drive for good.

Finding how to download music to iPhone is not difficult, and hopefully this article will give you the basics to get you started. You first need to download the music files from the internet to your computer, before you transfer them. The hardest part is finding a reliable, trustworthy source for the downloads. In the past, many people would use P2P sites. These sites are now illegal, and you could find yourself with a criminal record just for trying to download a piece of music. These sites are fraught with danger anyway, as the downloads can often contain viruses, which can stop your computer running properly, or create serious data security risks.

A much better choice is to use one of the legal download sites, where you can pay a small one off fee to join, and then have access to unlimited downloads. The fees are just to maintain the servers and keep the listings up to date. Finding a good download site of this type will be the final piece in the puzzle of how to download music to iPhone.

Some people and companies can use pretty devious tactics to get you to pick up the phone, even when they know there is a good chance you have no desire to talk with them. One thing many do is make their number come up on your caller ID as 'unknown' or 'anonymous'. What that happens, you take your chances when answering. This is something that debt collectors do in many cases, and is also done by survey firms, and even telemarketers. If you don't want these types of calls to come through, there are a few ways that you can try to block them.

These calls can come in any time of the day. Some of them are marked as unknown or anonymous, but there are also some that are marked as private. Private numbers might be people you know who have blocked their number by being seen by those they call. Most do that in an effort to stay off of calling lists. Those people have the option of unblocking their number on a call-by-call basis, so they can call you with their number displayed if you have it set up so their call cannot come through otherwise.

Most companies offer you a way to block these calls, and it can usually happen by just dialing a code on your phone. If you have Time Warner Cable digital phone service, just as an example, you can dial (*77) on your phone and wait to hear confirmation that your unknown and anonymous calls are now being blocked. There is also a code (*87) that you can use to turn this type of service off. If you have service through Vonage, you can use the very same codes.

You may find that most all phone companies use the same codes for the sake of simplicity, but if you try it and nothing happens, you may have to contact your particular company to see what the code is. Some may not offer this, and it is not available in some parts of some states. You can look through your local phone book for this information (usually in the very front sections) to see if something is listed there.

This code and service usually work very well. It forces someone to identify themselves before they can ring through to your line, or they can't get through at all. What you should remember, however, is that you may still get some 'out of area' or 'unknown' calls that do come through. This is not because your phone code is not working, but rather, because their phone provider failed to send through the proper data to display the number. In these cases, it is simply a matter of technology not working correctly.
