Connect iphone to itune for the first time

Question

Hello
I have had my iphone (6) for about 5 months now.
I did my initial configuration without connecting it to my mac and itunes.
Now, 5 months later, I tried to connect it and itunes gave me two alternatives.
1. Configure as new
2. Restore from a safety copy (as i seems my latest safety copy was many months ago)
I do not want do configure my Iphone as new or restore it from a safety copy.
What do i do to be able to start using itunes without resetting my phone?

Answer 1

There are multiple ways to manually add and erase music from your iPhone.
The way I do it and there for will explain it this way is just the way I do it and not necessarily the only way.
I have created a playlist "This weeks favorites" but of course the name doesn't matter.
I then drag and drop into it what ever songs I want on my iphone that day / week.
I also do this with TV shows / cartoons. (Just purchased all of the Flinstones. :O) )
No need to do this with the movies because there is a spot to "check" each movie you want.
When I want to erase them I just delete in the "folder" on the iTunes. Make sure your not deleting from your library but your "folder" that you have named.
Like I said this is just the way I do it.

Which yes, then you do have to SYNC but it would sync only the stuff you want to. I tried for awhile doing the "checking" each box or un-checking but that took a long time.
