Syncing your iPhone


"Syncing your iPhone" just means you're connecting your iPhone to your computer (your Mac or PC) and syncing the songs, videos, contacts, calendars, etc, between the two. This happens automatically when you connect your iPhone to your computer. When your computer detects your iPhone, it launches iTunes and starts syncing your content. However, you can set preferences for exactaly what gets uploaded to your iPhone and how. You do this in iTunes once your iPhone is connected to your computer. Simply click on your iPhone in the Divices list on the left side of the iTunes window and your iPhone preferences appear in the main iTunes window(as seen here). There are sync options at the bottom of the Summary preferences tab and there are individual tabs for music, videos, photos, info(calendar, contacts, etc.). ringtones, podcasts, and applications. For example, click on the Music tab, and the iPhone music preferences appear, where you can choose which playlists get uploaded or if all of your play lists and songs get transferred to your iPhone.
iTip:Syncing contacts Added to your iPhone
If you add a contact to your contacts list from right within your iPhone, the next time you sync up with your computer, it adds that contact to your computer's contact list, so both your iPhone and your computer stay in sync
