Put music onto iPhone on someone else's laptop?
I'm currently overseas for the year and have my iPhone with me, but not my laptop, and I would like to add some of the music from my friend's laptop onto my phone. Is there a way for me to obtain the songs I want (in a playlist) without all of her music (and apps and photos etc) transferring to my phone, or my music transferring to hers? A step by step tutorial would be so useful as I can't find one that explains it clearly!
The nearest I can think of is to plug it in and NOT sync. Syncing is what erases what's on the iPod that isn't on the computer. Instead, you should go into iTunes on the computer you hook the iPhone to and check the box marked "manually manage music and video". That's what I did when I had iTunes at home and work. I would plug my iPod in to both computers and never got erased.
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes account at a time. Once you switched iPhone to a new iTunes account or a new computer. You have to authorize the iPhone to it first, then you can upload music and video from the new iTunes to your iPhone. But this way will overwrite the original files on iPhone with the new iTunes library. You may try some third party software like this iTunes Alternative, it can work as an iTunes alternative to upload songs, photos and videos. And it will not erase the files on your iPhone.

- Is there a way I can use an iPhone that's logged onto someone else's iCloud? I recently found an iPhone 5s out in the street perfectly fine but it's logged into the owners iCloud and in order for me to restart it I have to put in that persons password and I've been told that there's no way for me remove that account. So I was wondering if anyone knows if it's safe to use it like that and just add another account or if I can use it some other way?
