How to Sync Playlists on the iPhone

For iPhone users who would like to take advantage of the opportunity to use the device for listening to music and viewing video, it is encouraging to know that the iPhone works in a very similar fashion to the iPod, widely praised for being simple to use. The process used to sync playlists on the iPhone from your iTunes library is extremely easy to follow.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Turn off the automatic syncing feature on your iPhone if you do not want everything in your iTunes library on your computer to be added automatically to the iPhone without asking you first. This is an especially good idea if you will be connecting your iPhone to more than 1 computer on a regular basis, because it will prevent you from accidentally overwriting files from your primary computer. To prevent auto-syncing, you must first connect your iPhone to the computer with the USB connector that comes with your iPhone.
2. Select your iPhone from the device list within the side panel of the iTunes library after iTunes opens, which should happen automatically anytime you connect your iPhone. Click on the tab labeled "Summary" and uncheck the "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" button if it is checked. If it is not already checked, then your iPhone is already set to prevent auto-syncing and in either case, you will still be able to sync your iPhone manually by clicking on the button labeled "Sync."
3. Use the tabs in the iTunes side panel to choose the types of media playlists you would like to sync between your computer and iPhone. The iPhone allows you to transfer playlists of music, videos, podcasts and audiobooks. It is important to note that only 1 type of media can be included on each playlist.
4. Allow iTunes to create a special playlist automatically if you have more music on your computer than will fit on your iPhone. If your iPhone has reached its storage limit, a message from iTunes will pop up and ask you if you would the program to create a playlist full of random songs from your library, which will then automatically sync to your iPhone. You can customize the random playlist by adding or deleting songs of your choice and then simply syncing it again with your iPhone by pressing the "Sync" button in iTunes.
5. Keep in mind that you can only sync playlists from your computer with 1 iPhone at a time. Always make sure to be logged into your own Apple account when updating your iPhone and remember to disconnect one iPhone before adding a new one. Failure to do so may cause your iPhone to sync incorrectly, possibly erasing content from your iPhone.

Tips & Warnings

• The sync feature is especially helpful with podcasts and audiobooks, because the iPhone will automatically remember the point in the track where you last finished and start playing again from that position the next time you listen.
