In-Depth Information
iTunes doesn't synchronize exact copies of your photos to the device. Instead, it creates what Apple calls TV-quality
versions of each image. These are copies of the images that have been reduced in size to match that of the device's
screen. This not only makes the synchronizing process faster, but it also means that the photos take up much less room
on your device.
Synchronizing contacts
Although you can certainly add contacts directly on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, adding, editing, grouping,
and deleting contacts is a lot easier on your MacBook Air (and it's a must if you're dealing with a regular iPod
which, yes, does come with a Contacts feature). So a good way to approach contacts is to manage them using
MacBook Air's Contacts application and then synchronize your contacts with your device.
Follow these steps to synchronize contacts with your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch:
1. In iTunes, click your device in the Devices list.
2. Click the Info tab.
3. Select the Sync Contacts check box and select an option.
•
All contacts.
Select this option to synchronize everyone in your Contacts list.
•
Selected groups.
Select this option to synchronize only the groups you pick. In the group list, select the
check box beside each group that you want synchronized, as shown in Figure 3.8.
4. If you want to make the sync a two-way street, select the Add contacts created outside of groups on
this
device
to check box (where
device
is iPod, iPad, or iPhone), and then choose a group from the
menu.
3.8
You can synchronize selected contact groups with your device.
5. If you have a Google account and you also want your Google Contacts synced, select the Sync
Google Contacts check box, type your Google account e-mail address and password, and click OK.
