Does iphone use wifi sync or cable sync if the cable is connected?

Hi
I have an iPhone 4s and had aquestion about wifi syncing.
Let’s say my phone is setupwith iTunes for wifi syncing and I use this feature occasionally.
But for a particular sync, Iwanted to use a cable as I had it handy, I’m in a rush and need to get a bit ofextra charge on the phone.
Will iTunes sync using wifi orvia the cable?
I want to know if I mustmanually uncheck and recheck the wifi sync but to switch between the 2 or will iTunesdetect the cable and use that? Also the speed difference is very noticeable sowhen in a rush it’s better to use a cable.
Thanks

Checked this ?

  • Does iphone use wifi or mobile network preferentially?

    Hi - stupid question really...
    If connected to a wifi network (e.g. at home), does the iphone use this instead of the mobile network, therefore, saving on you data allowance?
    Or is there a setting you can change so it does this?

    Hey tkoe,
    The iPhone will connect to the Internet over the fastest connection available, Wi-Fi>3G>EDGE.

  • If I come out of my house using wifi, but fb is running in the background, will it start to use up my data for 3G?!

    Unless you are actively accessing the FaceBook app or actively accessing FaceBook via Safari, nothing is being downloaded.
    This applies to iOS 5 as well.

  • I want to show pictures from my iphone 4 on my television.  I have the cables but it will only show a few pics stored online, none of those on the camera roll.  Would it make a difference if I upgraded the ios to ios 7?

    1, iOS only works on iPhone, iPads or iPods. These drives were probably made with an operating system that preceeded OS X such as OS 7, OS 8 or OS9.
    2, No, the data on the Zip Drives is formatted for the Mac.
    3, If your reformat them then all of the data is wiped
    4, The problem would be that the PC can not read the files as formatted on the zip drive by the Mac
    5, There are services that might be able to migrate the data for you but I seriously doubt that Staples or Office Max can do it for you. The services that migrate data charge big bucks so be prepared to pay for it.

  • Iphone 5 won't charge unless I wiggle the cable around to fine a spot where it works. It's not the cable/charger as it works perfectly in other iPhone 5's. I haven't even had it a year so it's still under warranty and the phone is in very good condition

    Iphone 5 won't charge unless I wiggle the cable around to fine a spot where it works. It's not the cable/charger as it works perfectly in other iPhone 5's. I haven't even had it a year so it's still under warranty and the phone is in very good condition and has never been abused/dropped etc. I'm taking it into apple tomorrow for an appointment. Has anyone had this problem? if so, what happens? thanks

    I had the same problem and took my iPhone 5 into the Apple store.  What happened was a little embarrassing.  The genius took out a "special tool" (a paper clip) and began digging out an unimaginable amount of lint from the lightning connector port.  After that I was able to connect the cord and charge without any issues. 
    A few days after, I realized that my problems associated with the remote/mic not working on my ear pods might be due to the same issue.  (The volume and action buttons on the ear pods sometimes were not responsive)  I grabbed a paper clip and began digging.  Again, a large wad of lint came out of the headphone port and my ear pods have worked perfectly since. 

  • Which cables does iPhone 6 +s come with for sync(hronizations)?

    Is it a USB cable? Thank you in advance.

    I'm not sure what you are asking, since there is no iPhone 6+s. But, the iPhone 6 Plus does come with an USB to Lightning cable as part of the package.
    + means Plus. Ah, still USB. I thought they would use Lighting cable purely by now. Thanks!
    I think you're still not quite clear. The current iPhones have a lightning connector (the place where the cable plugs in). No computer has such a thing. The cable that comes with a current iPhone plugs into the lightning connector in the iPhone and then into the USB port on a computer. It is the same cable that has come with every iPhone since the iPhone 5.

    when disconnected and connect it back to the computer - it still shows the same thing. (sim card not compatible with iPhone)

  • How can I sync my iPod touch calendar with my iPod using wifi?  Everything else sync but but the calendar.

    For some reason my iPad2 calendar doesn't sync with my iPod touch.  iOS is up to date on both devices and everything else syncs.  I have read the manual about syncing, tried syncing via iTunes and have wifi on but neither work. I have cloud set for my backup in both.  My iPad calendar shows duplicate appointments, my iPod touch shows none unless I enter them into iPod.   Can anyone give me some help?  Thank you

  • Why does iphone use cellular data to contact internet when wifi is available?

    If I leave Mobile Data (or Cellular Data) enabled on my iphone,
    I find that the phone uses my carrier phone service to access the internet about 10 times
    per day. The accesses tend to be mostly very small data transfers (say about 10KB).
    I have no idea why these transfers are taking place, but I can see them on my Vodofone bills.
    Since I am rarely away from my home wifi facility, I would also expect any access to
    use wifi as a first choice, and notify me if there was a need to use cellular access.
    So I have 2 questions. What are these data transfers that I am not explicitly requesting,
    and why are these data transfers not made through free home wifi as a first choice.
    Apple has advised me to turn off mobile data unless I am away from my free wifi.
    Mike

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't used visual voicemail. My preference would be for any data transfer to be done on wifi when wifi is available. Battery life is not currently an issue for me. I do think that it shoud be possible to find out which service or app is causing the data transfer. Although I am not near my data limit at present, I do think that I have a right to know why a service, for which
    i pay, is bring used.

  • How do I transfer an app from itunes my pc to my iphone 4s? I cant use wifi as my chip fried at the last update

    How can I transfer an App purchased on iTunes on my pc to my iPhone 4s. I have tried synching but this does not make the app appear on my iPhone. I cant use wifi as my chip was fried on the latest update.

    When you tried syncing, did you connect the phone, then click on the phone icon near the top left of iTunes, then click on Apps under Settings in the sidebar, then find the app in question and click the Install button beside it before clicking Sync at the bottom right?

  • Does Qik use WiFi and Cell phone service ?

    At home we have WiFi in the house connected to our Router, which connects to our ISP.
    Using an iPhone in our house, using Qik,...will all the vido data use our WiFi connection ?
    ...to send a new Qik video ?
    ...to receive a new Qik video ?
    If we are out of the house, with no WiFi available, will Qik use our "cell phone network" ?
      (Which will use "data minutes" I assume.)
    I guess this is separate from "TXT messaging",   and if I have a limit on TXT, that is independent from Qik ?
    Sound correct ?
    Just want to have a good idea of when Qik uses each network.
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Hi,
    All depends on the connection type that your phone is using. If you are using WiFi connection with your iPhone at home, then Skype Qik usage - as any other internet usage on the device - will go through WiFi.
    When you are out and connected through "mobile internet", then Skype Qik will use this connection for sending/receiving videos.
    It does not affect your text messaging limits in any way, as it uses internet connection for sending/receiving videos.
    PS. On iPhone (iOS 7 and up), you can actually go to Settings > Cellular to tell the app to use WiFi only, if needed.

  • Does iphone use microsoft office?

    Is there an app for microsoft office on the iphone where you could sync the iphone to a windows to pc to transfer the data back to the pc and vice-versa?

    docs to go is the program I use to transfer my word and excell documents to my phone. It also lets me edit them on my phone. It is 'Documents To Go' in the app store. I have the basic one which I think was $9.99. There is a premium one for $16.99.
