Sync with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For help syncing
iPhone with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the Help menu.
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPhone. Then in iTunes on your computer, select your iPhone, click
Summary, and select “Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi.”
If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPhone
and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on
the computer.
