Syncing iPhone and iPod touch with your computer

When you connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, items are automatically synced between the two according to your preferences. You can, for example, enter phone numbers and addresses of friends and family members on your computer, connect iPhone or iPod touch to sync, then unplug iPhone or iPod touch and tap a friend's name on the touch screen to call.

You can sync

• Contacts---names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
• Calendars---appointments and events
• Email account settings (only on iPhone)
• Web bookmarks
• Music and audiobooks
• Movies
• TV shows
• Podcasts
• Photos

You only have to set which items are synced in iTunes on your computer once. After that, just connect iPhone or iPod touch to start a sync.

Contacts, calendars, and bookmarks are synced from (or to) your computer, so if you add, change, or delete them on iPhone or iPod touch, they are changed on your computer, and vice versa. You can also sync contacts with your Yahoo! Address Book (Except yahoo.co.jp accounts).

Email account settings (on iPhone only), music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos are synced one-way, from your computer to iPhone (though you can import photos taken with iPhone to your computer).

If you like, you can set iPhone or iPod touch 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 you may want to sync only songs from certain playlists so you don't fill up iPhone or iPod touch with all your music.

Setting Up Syncing

You use iTunes on your computer to set up which items are synced. Make sure you have the most recent version of iTunes (On a PC, open iTunes and choose Help > Check for Updates. On a Mac, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Check for Updates.

Step 1: Connect iPhone or iPod touch

1. Connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the included cable. You can connect the cable from your computer directly to iPhone or iPod touch, or connect the cable from your computer to the Apple Universal Dock (available separately) and put iPhone or iPod touch in the dock. By default, iTunes opens automatically.
2. Select iPhone or iPod touch in the iTunes source list.

Step 2: Set Up Which Items Are Synced

Follow the steps below for each item you want to sync.

Set contacts to sync
Any Contacts you've chosen to sync, such as those in Address Book or Microsoft Entourage on a Mac or Windows Address Book (Outlook Express) or Microsoft Outlook on a PC, will be synced with iPod touch. If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you've set up syncing.

Note: Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or your computer. To delete a contact containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo! account online and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book.

On a Mac, when you sync Address Book contacts with iPhone or iPod touch, any other address books you've set to sync with .Mac, such as your contacts in Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced with iPhone or iPod touch.

• If you're using a Mac, select "Sync iCal calendars." Then choose "All calendars," or choose "Selected calendars" and select the calendars you want to sync. Then, from the pop-up menu, choose the calendar on your computer to update with events you create directly on your iPhone or iPod touch.
• If you're using a PC, select "Sync Outlook calendars."

Note: When syncing with Yahoo! Address Book, you do not have the option to replace the data on Yahoo!.
