Tips for syncing with iTunes

If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, dont also sync them to your device using iTunes.

Purchases you make from the iTunes Store or the App Store on iPhone are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and apps from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPhone.

In the devices Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync when your device is attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.

In the devices Summary pane, select Encrypt iPhone backup if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a Lock icon, and a separate password is required to restore the backup. If you dont select this option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) arent included in the backup and will have to be re-entered if you use the backup to restore the device.

In the devices Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone dont affect the account on your computer.

In the devices Info pane, click Advanced to select options to let you replace the information on iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.

If you listen to part of a podcast or audiobook, the place you left off is included if you sync the content with iTunes. If you started listening on iPhone, you can pick up where you left off using iTunes on your computeror vice versa.

In the devices Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.
