You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud 
or iTunes.
 •iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more, and 
wirelessly pushes it to your other iOS devices and computers, keeping everything up to date. 
See iCloud below.
 •iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more, between your computer and iPhone. Changes 
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to 
sync les and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 17.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use 
iCloud to automatically keep your contacts and calendars up to date on all your devices, and use 
iTunes to sync music from your computer to iPhone.
Important:  To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or 
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, 
open iTunes on your computer, then choose iTunes Help from the Help menu and select Sync 
your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPhone. Then in iTunes on your computer, select your iPhone, click 
Summary, and select “Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi.”
If Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPhone syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both iPhone 
and your computer are on and connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open on 
the computer.
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer
Connect iPhone to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the dierent panes.
 •In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPhone when it’s attached to

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

it on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it will be added to the Family automatically.
Family Sharing requires iCloud and is available on devices with iOS 8, Mac computers with OS X 
Yosemite, and iCloud for Windows 4.0. You can be part of one family group at a time, and may 
switch families twice per year.

up iPhone.
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone models with Touch ID) or Settings 
> Passcode (other models), then set a 4-digit passcode. 
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 
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPhone using 
the numeric keypad, create a passcode using numbers only.
