Activating and Setting Up iPhone
You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
Â
Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
Â
Calendars—appointments and events
Â
Email account settings
Â
Webpage bookmarks
Â
Music and audiobooks
Â
Movies
Â
TV shows
Â
Podcasts
Â
Photos
Because music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos are managed on your
computer, these items are synced one-way, from your computer to iPhone. Email
account settings also are only synced from your computer to iPhone. This allows you to
customize your email account on iPhone without affecting the email account settings
on your computer. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your
computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make on iPhone get synced to your
computer, and vice versa.
If you like, you can set iPhone to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer.
For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book,
or only unwatched movies. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected
to your computer.
Important:
You can connect and sync only with one iPhone at a time. If you’re using a
PC, you should be logged in to your own user account on the computer before
connecting iPhone. If you connect more than one iPhone to the same user account,
use the same sync settings for each.
