When you sync your phone does data go from phone to pc or pc to phone

Good morning, when you sync your iphone4, is the phone uploading to the pc or is the pc downloading to the phone?  What is the overriding situation?  Also, can you delete unwanted phot folders from the phone or do you have to try to "restore" phone to factory settings and start again or will this even work?  I am always guessing when I sync because I am never sure which way it is going.  Thanks for any help.

I thought I tried the uncheck/check but maybe I didn't so I will give that a try.  It is actually my friends phone (I try stuff on mine but I was hesitant on someone else's phone) so I will try that when I visit them again next week.  Thank you, I will let you know if I am successful.

  • When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

    Title says it all,
    when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
    My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

    Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.

    Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

  • What is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    what is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    Hi steven1098,
    If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

  • HT1766 when you restore your ipod does it delete all your music

    need help anyone out there ?

    When you restore via iTunes all your synced media like apps and music have to be in your iTunes library. The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media.

  • What is included in "preferences" when you sync your computers using Firefox 6?

    What preferences are included in the sync function?
    Tool bar settings?
    Plug in settings?
    Preferences is just too broad of a term, I prefer that when I sync any of my computers the tool bars look the same, the menus look alike, etc.

    You can see which prefs are synced if you open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and filter for <b>services.sync.prefs.sync.*</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).

  • When you sync your phone, what info is in the "documents and data" ?

    I have 5MGB of "documents and data" and can't figure out what's contained in that so I can clean it up.

    Documents and data include any files that you have saved on iCloud and info that apps have stored in iCloud.

  • When you restoreing your ipod does it delete everything

    When restoreing a ipod to reset the password does it delete everything

    Yes, restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do you turn off Auto Update when you sync your ipod??

    I need to turn this off because I just got a SLVR with iTunes and I dont want it to put all my music on my SLVR because it would fill up with the songs I dont want to put on it..

    Check this article out: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304708
    While it may not include what you are looking for, since this article relates to iPods, it may help you out.
    Good luck...

  • When you reset Time Capsule does it start from scratch again?

    After some problems with my Time Capsule, I decided to reset it and start again.  The first back up took forever and the next 10 or so also took a long time. I noticed that it was backing up a lot of data. It now seems to have settled down and is only backing up small amounts each hour ( I presume these are things I have created or altered since the last back up ).
    So am I correct in thinking that a reset makes it compare and back up everything that is already on the TC before the reset?   The TC is a mysterious machine!

    the TC is just a wi-fi router with a built-in hard drive. the magic (mystery) lies within time machine, the backup software that's backing up your Mac to the TC.

  • What does iTunes backup when you connect your iPhone

    Hi,
    Can someone help me to understand the following two folders.
    I have been using the iPhone since when it first came out (2007) and syncing with iTunes, one thing I havent understand is what is iTunes actually backing up when you connect your iPhone, does the backup contains everything in your iPhone?
    In other words does the backup contains your iPhone apps, photos etc.?
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The other folder I don't fully understand is the "Mobile Applications" folder, the reason for this question is because I relocated my default Media folder to an exteranl HD and when I sync my iPhone everything is fine I haven't had any problems but when I go and open this folder it has only a few apps but my iPhone has a lot more.
    Why the amount of apps in my "Mobile Applications" folder doesn't match the amount of apps on my iPhone?
    Can someone tell me what is this folder for?
    ...music/Media/Mobile Applications
    I'm currently running, iOS5
    Thanks a lot!

    For the second here is some reading...
