Iphone syncing with mac

Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer

Learn how to sync music, movies, and more using iTunes on your Mac or PC.

If you’re using macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC, use iTunes to sync content to your devices. Before you use iTunes to sync content to your iOS or iPadOS device, consider using iCloud, Apple Music, or similar services to keep content from your Mac or PC in the cloud. This way, you can access your music, photos, and more on your devices when you aren’t near your computer. Learn more about using Apple Music or iCloud Photos instead of iTunes.

If you use iCloud or other services like Apple Music to keep your content up-to-date across all of your devices, some syncing features through iTunes might be turned off.

What you can sync with iTunes

• Albums, songs, playlists, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and audiobooks.
• Photos and videos.
• Contacts and calendars.

iTunes features might vary by country or region.

Sync or remove content using iTunes

1. Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Click the device icon in the upper-left corner of the iTunes window. Learn what to do if you don’t see the icon.
   
3. From the list under Settings on the left side of the iTunes window, click the type of content that you want to sync or remove. * To turn syncing on for a content type, select the checkbox next to Sync.
   
4. Select the checkbox next to each item that you want to sync.
5. Click the Apply button in the lower-right corner of the window. If syncing doesn’t start automatically, click the Sync button.

* You can only sync your device with one iTunes library at a time. If you see a message that your device is synced with another iTunes library, your device was previously connected to another computer. If you click «Erase and Sync» in that message, all content of the selected type on your device will be erased and replaced with content from this computer.

Sync your content using Wi-Fi

After you set up syncing with iTunes using USB, you can set up iTunes to sync to your device with Wi-Fi instead of USB.

1. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable, then open iTunes and select your device. Learn what to do if your device doesn’t appear on your computer.
2. Click Summary on the left side of the iTunes window.
3. Select «Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi.»
4. Click Apply.

When the computer and the device are on the same Wi-Fi network, the device appears in iTunes. The device syncs automatically whenever it’s plugged in to power and iTunes is open on the computer.

Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi

You can sync your Mac and device when they’re connected over same Wi-Fi network. To set up Wi-Fi syncing, first connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable. You then turn on Wi-Fi syncing and choose the settings you want. Whenever your device connects to your Mac over Wi-Fi, you can select it in the sidebar and sync it. (You can turn on automatic syncing if you want.) Your device must have iOS 5 or later or iPadOS 13 or later.

Connect your device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable.

In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.

If you connect your device to your Mac using a USB cable and can’t see the device in the Finder sidebar, see If your device doesn’t appear in the sidebar.

Click General in the button bar.

Select the “Show this [device] when on Wi-Fi” tickbox.

Use the button bar to turn on and select sync settings.

Whenever your device connects to your Mac, the device’s icon appears in the sidebar. Select the device in the Finder sidebar to view or change syncing options.

You can choose to sync your Mac and your device automatically whenever you connect them. See Turn automatic syncing on or off on Mac.

Before disconnecting your device from your Mac, click the Eject button in the Finder sidebar. The device icon disappears, but Wi-Fi syncing remains turned on. The icon reappears automatically the next time your Mac and device are connected to the same WI-Fi network.

Note: To restore your iPhone or iPad and revert it to its factory settings, you must connect the device to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable.

Syncing over Wi-Fi is slower than syncing over a cable. If you connect a device to your Mac while the device is syncing over Wi-Fi, syncing continues over the cable. If you disconnect the device’s cable from the Mac while syncing, syncing stops even if Wi-Fi syncing is on. Syncing resumes when you reconnect the device using a cable or over Wi-Fi.

Intro to syncing your Mac and your devices

Syncing means transferring items and keeping them up to date between your Mac and your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. For example, when you add a movie to your Mac, you can sync so that the movie appears on both your Mac and iPhone. You can sync items including music, films, TV programmes, podcasts, books and more.

When you connect an iPhone or iPad to your Mac using a USB or USB-C cable, the device appears in the Finder sidebar. When you select the device in the sidebar, the Finder window displays options for managing your device software and syncing items with your Mac.

You use the button bar across the top of the window to turn on syncing for each type of content, such as music, films or TV programmes.

Click General in the button bar to manage the software and data on your device. For example, you can:

Check for the latest software for your iPhone or iPad and update it.

Back up the data on your device onto your Mac or to iCloud.

Restore the data on your device from a backup and manage multiple backups if you need them.

Do I have to sync?

If you have iPod classic, iPod nano or iPod shuffle: You have to sync your device with your Mac. There’s no other way to add content to it.

If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: You only need to sync with your Mac when you have new or updated content.

If you prefer not to sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you don’t have to. You can download items from the iTunes Store, the App Store, Apple Books and other Apple services directly to your devices. You can also use iCloud to keep items up to date across your devices.

Should I choose to automatically sync all my content or only specific items?

Automatically sync all content: This is the quickest and easiest option. Simply select the “Automatically sync when this [device] is connected” tickbox in the General pane, then turn on syncing for each type of content you want to sync. Your Mac and iPhone or iPad update to matching content whenever you connect them.

Sync specific items: You can also select specific items to sync. For example, you can sync just certain films to your iPhone which can save storage space. You can still automatically sync all items for other types of content, such as podcasts, TV programmes and books.

Do I have to connect my iPhone or iPad to my Mac to sync?

No. If you have an iPhone (with iOS 5 or later) or iPad, you can sync when your Mac and device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. To set up syncing via Wi-Fi, you must first connect your device with a cable, select your device in the sidebar and turn on the syncing over Wi-Fi option. See Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.

What’s the difference between using iCloud and syncing?

Use iCloud to transfer files: When you use iCloud, files transfer automatically and effortlessly between your Mac and iPhone or iPad. For example, when you use iCloud Photos and take a picture on your iPhone, the picture soon appears on your Mac and other devices. With iCloud turned on, your Mac and iPhone or iPad are continuously updated as content changes — and you don’t have to do a thing. For more information, see What is iCloud?

Use syncing to manage the files on your device: Syncing allows you to update your device to the latest iOS or iPadOS software, back up your device data safely to your Mac or iCloud, and, if you need to, use a backup to restore information on your device.

Syncing also provides great control over which content is transferred to your device. You can sync all or only a selection of specific files. For example, when you go on a trip, you can sync a selection of audiobooks to your iPhone to listen to while travelling. With syncing, you can easily transfer just the files you want.

Note: When you use iCloud to update items such as music or photos across your devices, syncing is turned off for those items in the Finder syncing options. You can turn on Finder syncing for those items by turning off iCloud for the related app.
