СКАЧАТЬ the Sync Music check box. Note that Figure 3-3 shows the Music pane in a Finder window under Catalina; if you’re using iTunes, click Music in its sidebar and you’ll see the same options shown in Figure 3-3.

      You can then select the option for Entire Music Library or Selected Artists, Albums, Genres, and Playlists, as shown in Figure 3-3. If you choose the latter, select the check boxes next to the particular artists, albums, genres, and playlists you want to transfer. You also can choose to include music videos by selecting the appropriate check boxes at the top of the pane.

If you choose Entire Music Library and have more songs in your iTunes library than storage space on your iPhone, the sync will fail and the capacity bar at the bottom of the screen will display your overage, as shown in Figure 3-4.

      To avoid such errors, select playlists, artists, albums, and genres that total less than the free space on your iPhone, which is displayed in the capacity bar before you sync.

Music, podcasts, and video are notorious for using massive amounts of storage space on your iPhone. If you try to sync too much media, you’ll see lots of error messages like the ones in Figure 3-4. Forewarned is forearmed.

      You can find similar information about space used and space remaining on your iPhone by tapping Settings ⇒ General ⇒ iPhone Storage. The iPhone’s display isn’t as pretty as the one pictured here, but it is useful when you need that info and you’re not near your computer.

      Finally, if you select the Automatically Fill Free Space with Songs check box, any free space on your iPhone will be filled with music.

      

We recommend that you don’t enable this option. When enabled, your phone can easily run out of space for pictures and videos you shoot or documents you save (to name just a few of the possible consequences of filling your iPhone with songs).

      Movies

      TV shows

      The procedure for syncing TV shows is almost the same as for syncing movies. First, select the TV Shows pane or the TV Shows tab. Next, select the Sync TV Shows check box to enable TV show syncing. Then choose how many episodes to include from the first pop-up menu and whether you want all shows or only selected shows from the second pop-up menu. If you want to also include individual episodes or episodes on playlists, select the appropriate check boxes in the Shows, Episodes, and Include Episodes from Playlists sections of the TV Shows pane.

      Podcasts

      To transfer podcasts to your iPhone, select the Podcasts pane or the Podcasts tab and then select the Sync Podcasts check box. Next, you can include however many podcasts you want by making selections from the Automatically Include and All or Selected Podcasts pop-up menus.

      

If you like to learn cool stuff for free, visit the App Store (see Chapter 15) and grab a free copy of Apple’s superb iTunes U app (which used to be preinstalled).

      Photos

      To sync photos between computers and iDevices, you must enable iCloud Photos (formerly known as iCloud Photo Library).

      You can also copy photos to your iPhone from the Photos app (Mac only) or any folder on your computer that contains images (Mac or PC).

      To enable iCloud Photos:

       On your iPhone: Choose Settings ⇒ yourname ⇒ iCloud ⇒ Photos, and then turn on iCloud Photos.

       On your Mac: Choose System Preferences ⇒ Apple ID (Catalina or later) or iCloud (Mojave or earlier), and then enable the check box for iCloud Photos.

       On your PC: Download and launch iCloud for Windows. Click Options (next to Photos), select iCloud Photos, click Done, and then click Apply. Now enable iCloud Photos on all your Apple devices.You can also choose to use My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing, and customize the location of your upload and download folders.When you turn on iCloud Photos on your PC, My Photo Stream is turned off automatically. If you want to send new photos to your devices that don’t use iCloud Photos, you can turn My Photo Stream back on.

      Now, connect the iPhone to your computer and return to the Photos pane or tab and select the Sync Photos check box. Next, choose an application or folder from the pop-up menu.

      

You can also type a word or phrase in the search field (an oval with a magnifying glass) to search for a specific event or events.

      If you choose a folder full of images, you can create subfolders inside it that will appear as albums on your iPhone.

      If you’ve taken any photos with your iPhone or saved images from a web page, an email, an MMS message, or an iMessage since the last time you synced, the appropriate program launches (or the appropriate folder is selected) when you connect your iPhone, and you have the option of uploading СКАЧАТЬ
