iTunes Sync

While millions of people own iPads or iPhones, not everyone knows how to get their music on their device. Follow these steps to get music synced to the device using the USB cable.

  1. Connect the device to a computer using the USB sync/charge cable that came to the device. Ensure that the computer has iTunes 12 installed and running.
  2. In iTunes, click on the Device Icon in the bar just below the volume slider and choose your device if more than one is listed.
  3. Tap on the Music option under settings. This is where you tell iTunes what music you would like to sync to the device.
  4. You will need to turn on music syncing by clicking to checkmark Sync Music.
  5. Use the other checkmarks below to determine what music to send to the device. For instance, you can sync Entire music library or only Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres.
  6. If you picked the latter, place a checkmark next to what you would like to sync to the device.
  7. When you are finished, click on the Apply button in the lower left to start copying the music over.
  8. Check that the music is on the device by launching the Music app from the home screen.
