When you connect iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, items are automatically synced according to your preferences set in iTunes. You can, for example, enter phone numbers and addresses of friends and family members on your computer, connect iPhone or iPod touch to sync, then unplug iPhone or iPod touch and tap a friend's name on the touchscreen to call.
You can sync
- Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
- Calendars—appointments and events
- Notes (sync with Mac OS X Mail or Microsoft Outlook)*
- Web bookmarks
- Music and audiobooks
- Photos
- Podcasts
- Movies and TV shows
- Applications
*Notes syncing is over USB only and on a Mac requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later.
You only have to set which items are synced in iTunes on your computer once. After that, just connect iPhone or iPod touch to start a sync.
At first I thought this was a joke, but when the fact that this was the official Apple statement sank in, I was disappointed. What were the folks at Apple thinking?! You can sync contact information OTA but not notes? It doesn't make any sense! I understand that notes can be big in size, but regardless, this wasn't the way I thought Apple would handle this.
