- 1). Ensure you are using the most recent version of iTunes. On a PC, open iTunes, click "Help" and select "Check for Updates." For a Mac, open iTunes, click "iTunes" and select "Check for Updates."
- 2). Connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable included with your iPhone. This will automatically prompt iTunes to open.
- 3). Select your iPhone listed on the left-hand column in iTunes and click the "Info" tab.
- 4). Choose which media and information to sync from your iPhone to your computer. There will be many options, including music and audiobooks, photos, notes, calendars, contacts and ringtones.
- 5). Click "Apply" in the lower right corner to sync. If you're syncing for the first time, you will be asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the device or replace data on the computer. Merging will add information from each device to the other. Either option to replace will override the information on either device with information from the other. Once you choose an option, it can't be undone and will be used as your default setting for future syncs. Sync settings can be adjusted whenever your iPhone is connected to your computer.
