iPhone in its functionality uses synchronization with a computer. This allows your device and PC to exchange information, and also allows the computer to store a backup copy of the data from the phone.
When you sync your iPhone for the first time, you’ll customize your preferences in iTunes. By connecting the device to the computer, you can automatically synchronize it by pressing one simple button. It is also possible to synchronize applications, contacts, calendar entries, notes, music, the necessary web bookmarks, photos, films and TV shows, podcasts, ringtones and any other content.
What do you need for iPhone to sync correctly with your computer?
Before you can sync your iPhone with your computer, you need to make sure that you have the current version of iTunes downloaded to your computer. You can download iTunes for free from the official Apple website. You will also need an iPhone USB cable to connect the device to the computer. If you have the current version of iTunes and a USB cable, syncing your iPhone with multiple computers or a single device can be done with a simple click of a few buttons. Usually, a USB cable is provided when you purchase the device in the kit, so there should not be any difficulties.
Syncing your iPhone with a personal computer or laptop will be very easy when you set the settings in iTunes. At the first synchronization with the computer, you must make sure that you go through each set of options and set all the necessary settings. The set parameters will be saved and used the next time you synchronize your iPhone (if you are not going to make changes before the process).
To sync your iPhone with your computer, connect your gadget to your PC using a USB cable. See that your phone is turned on when connected. After that, do the following:
1) Open iTunes if the program did not open automatically.
2) On the left side of the search screen in the "Devices" section, select your iPhone.
3) You will see that the Summary tab is selected. Browse each tab at the top of the screen and select the items that you would like to sync. Be sure to click "Apply" in each tab in which you make changes.
4) When all the necessary options are selected, click “Sync” in the lower right corner. Do not disconnect the phone after pressing the “Sync” button until the program prompts you to do this.
5) In the status bar located in the central part of the screen at the top, the message “iPhone Sync” will be displayed (instead of the inscription “iPhone”, which displays the name of your device). The process may take from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the amount of new data that you want to synchronize.
6) After completing all the actions, in the status bar located in the center of the screen at the top, the message “End iPhone sync. Disconnect the device? ” Now you can disconnect the device, as the synchronization of iPhone is completed.
