Windows 10: Complete replacement for iTunes , also "file manager" for iOS devices

Because I use both a desktop and a laptop, iTunes makes it impossible for me to manage music, books, etc., apps, and everything else on my iPhone and iPad. I need a complete replacement that gives me the flexibility to use iPhone/iPad with either system, with no b/s about replacing the current contents of the device when I switch between desktop and laptop.

And I also discovered that I can't copy a photo FROM my PC to my iPad/iPhone. I need a way to do that, for my photos that I take with my DSLR.

Free is better, but a commercial product that really does the job will be willingly purchased.

Also I miss the feature in iTunes that allowed me to use my PC to move around icons on the iPhone/iPad. Looking for a utility that does this.

I should say that I'm not looking for a music player. I'm actually looking for one or more replacement tools that provide
device backup

• 2-way sync between my media (music, books, etc.) on my local system and my devices
• 2-way sync for calendar items, appointments, tasks
• iOS updates
• rearrange icons across screens (less important - I can always iTunes for this without too much harm)
• remove apps from a device

what exactly do you think “integration with apple devices” means? Back when I used it, it was the only thing that would download stuff from my ipod to my computer, but that was years ago, so not sure about its current capabilities

I doubt you will find anything that does ios updates though.

If you are using an iOS device with iTunes right now, there isn't an alternative. Apple requires the use of iTunes for its iOS devices.

If you are using iTunes for it's music player, you could swap over to using Windows 10 Groove or the well-known VLC player.
