Sync

If you have an iOS device, iTunes is the tool you’ll use to sync your media files to it, along with apps and other information. The way you set up your media library in iTunes reflects how these files become accessible on your portable device.

Syncing offers many options. I want to point out some of the basics, and explain how you can put your favorite media files on your iOS device. As with the rest of this book, my focus here is music and videos. Once you grasp the concepts, it’s simple to sync your media to your iOS device exactly the way you want to.
