Synchronizing Your iPhone via Wi-Fi
The capability to sync your iPhone with your computer without a wire in sight is one of the nicest iOS features. If you’re sitting in your easy chair or relaxing on the front porch, who wants to get up, go to the computer, connect your iPhone, and then run a sync just to get, say, the latest podcasts? As long as your iPhone is plugged in and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer, you can run the sync by barely moving a muscle.
Follow these steps to sync with iTunes right where you are by using Wi-Fi:
1. Make sure your computer is running and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone.
2. On the iPhone Home screen, tap Settings. The Settings app appears.
3. Tap General.
4. Tap iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.
5. Tap Sync Now. Your iPhone syncs with iTunes on your computer.
