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

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 video podcasts. 

You should be logged in to your own computer user account before 

connecting iPhone.

  Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).

  In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.

  Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.

See the following section for descriptions of the panes.

  Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.

By default, “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected. 

The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone settings panes.  
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Select “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” to have iTunes sync iPhone 
automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you 
want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about 
preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic Syncing” on page 15.
