iTunes, but not both.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then
dragging it to your iPhone in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items than
can t on your device.
Sync with iTunes
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPhone, and vice versa. You can
sync by connecting iPhone to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly with
Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync music, videos, apps, photos, and more. For help syncing iPhone,

option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup and
you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup when restoring iPhone.
•In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your
computer to iPhone. Changes you make to a mail account on iPhone don’t aect the account
on your computer.
•In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on
iPhone with the information from your computer during the next sync.
•In the Music pane, you can sync music using your playlists.
•In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a supported application or folder on

Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail
messages and attachments stored on iPhone, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may
also use data protection.)
Increase security. Turn o Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s
