Synching your iPhone with your computer or laptop is a simple way to keep your contacts, music, videos, and applications organised efficiently.

The major benefit of having your iPhone synched with your computer is the time you will save transferring files and sending them from one device to another.

Once you have your handset and computer compatible with each other, the process is automatic, simple and easy to understand.

Every song, movie, or image purchased on your iPhone in the iTunes Store, or the App Store, is automatically synced back to your iTunes library.

You can also purchase or download content and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, and they will be sent directly back to your iPhone.

On the other hand, if you only wanted some of your library synched, this is possible too. You can set iPhone to work 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 pod casts.

One thing to remember is that for the synchronization to operate successfully, users need to be logged into their own computer user account before connecting their iPhone.

Here is a guide on how to set up iTunes synching:

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