Can i connect my iphone to anything other than itunes?

My itunes automatically disinstalled itself & now it won't reinstall onto my laptop, so i was wondering if i can hook up my phone to something else like windows media player or something?

Sadly you can't. But, that should not have happened. Those apps are not the kind of thing that's available to delete take it into the store to get them to fix it. First try turning it completely off and then turn it on. This works most of the time.

Itunes doesn't magically deinstall itself
