Why do you need iPhone synchronization with "iTunes"

How to sync iPhone with iTunes
So, let's begin! Installing "iTunes", or rather, iTunes - this is the first thing to do after buying an iPhone. This program is installed for free from the official Apple website. "ITunes" - this is what your iPhone needs to acquire individuality. With it, new photos, wallpapers, music, ringtones, books, films, other videos and much more will appear on your smartphone. All this can be downloaded on the Internet or found on your computer, in general, no matter where you find it and how. Synchronizing your iPhone with iTunes and enjoying the ringtones you have chosen according to your taste is the main thing.

Installing Aityuns on a computer is very simple - you just need to follow the instructions of the installation program.

The first connection of iPhone to "iTunes"

The first thing you need is to connect the smartphone to the computer using the USB cable included in the package - this is the same cable that is used to charge the phone. Later we will learn how to sync an iPhone wirelessly, but the first connection should still be via USB.

Immediately after connecting to the computer, the necessary drivers will automatically be installed, and the iPhone will appear in “iTunes” in the left panel under the section called “Devices”. If you click on the icon of your phone, then in the main part of the program screen you can see information about the iPhone, such as the total amount and availability of free memory, battery level (by the way, when the phone is connected to the computer, it is charging), the serial number of the device, phone number installed SIM card, firmware number and other, no less useful information.

How to sync iPhone with iTunes using WI-FI

Of course, this is more convenient. No wires, complete freedom. Before you sync an iPhone with Aityuns wirelessly, connect it to the same network as a computer with Aityuns installed. The first connection, as mentioned above, is using a cable. Then, when your smartphone appears in the panel on the left, find the "Parameters" section at the bottom of the window with information about it and check the box "Sync iPhone with this via WIFI." That's all! Now, when all the necessary conditions are met, namely, the devices are on the same network, the iPhone is turned on, “iTunes” is running on the computer, the phone will be detected without a cable connection.

What do we sync?

Before you learn how to make synchronization on an iPhone, you need to figure out how to prepare for synchronization. To begin with, a very important point: during synchronization, files from the computer will not be added to the files in the iPhone, but will replace them! Keep this in mind if you connect your iPhone to someone else's computer. In order for the data you need to remain on the iPhone, they must also be present in “Ayutyuns”, new data should be added to them.

What exactly can be changed in the iPhone using synchronization, you can understand by looking at the tabs at the top. Contacts and calendars, programs, sounds, music, films, TV shows, podcasts, books, photos - everything you need! If you do not see any of these tabs, then it just has not yet been activated as unnecessary. As soon as you need an item that is currently missing, for example, you download podcasts without using this function before, the necessary tab will immediately appear.

Synchronization

And, finally, actually, how to synchronize an iPhone with iTunes. First, decide what exactly you will synchronize. Having visited each of the tabs, tick off the checkboxes, you need to synchronize them or not. If not checked, synchronization will not be performed. And here it is worth noting what was said above - if you do not check any tab, then nothing from the installed (downloaded) to the phone will be deleted earlier, everything will remain as before. For example, if you want to add your ringtones to your iPhone and leave everything else unchanged, then ticking “Sync” only on the “Sounds” tab and leaving the rest of the tabs unchecked, you will not lose your previously downloaded content.

In order for the files you need to get on the iPhone, add them to "iTunes" in the "Media Library" section, the one in the left panel. To do this, simply drag and drop everything that you need into “iTunes”, the program itself will determine the type of content, and it will appear in the necessary sections: music, films, sounds, etc.

Now, having selected your device in the left panel, go to the tabs you are interested in and mark what exactly you want to see in your device: everything that is in the program’s library or some specific files. If you are interested in music files, then Aytuns conveniently sorts them by album, artist, and genre. In order to upload photos, you need to specify the folder on the computer where they are located.

That's it! Click the "Sync" or "Apply" button at the bottom of the screen if any changes have been made, and wait for the synchronization to complete.
