How to sync iPhone or iPod Touch with your iTunes library

According to Apple official web site, users can set up iPhone or iPod touch to sync with their computers. And these syncable contents are listed:

* Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
* Calendars—appointments and events
* Web bookmarks
* Music and audiobooks
* Photos
* Podcasts
* Movies and TV shows
* Applications

So if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, and there are many things in your iTunes library, you may make syncing between them from time to time. However, for some computer beginners, they are not familiar with it, though this is a very basic but important operation. If you're one of them, this page will help.

Step 1, connect your iPhone or iPod Touch with computer.

Step 2, launch iTunes and your device will be recognized automatically. You can find it under DEVICES on the left panel of iTunes:

(Note: the device name "iPhone/iPod Touch" might be different from yours)

Step 3, click on this device and on the main window of iTunes, there's a button under Summary tab. But remember, this will sync all your iTunes library to iPhone / iPod Touch. If you just want to import part of the library, just go to the corresponding tab, and change the sync options to Selected and check items going to be synced:

Like pictures above, left one shows you that only sync first two movies; right one shows only sync last two applications. And remember to click Apply button to active such sync actions.

After a while, the sync will be complete. Now, check your iPhone or iPod Touch, and you will find Sync operation is helpful and very easy.

Warning
