- Just connect any device ( iPod, iPhone or iPad ) to your Computer
- In iTunes, click your iPhone or iPad in the "Devices" section on the left
- Use tabs such as "Info" or "Apps" to set up your synchronization settings

Notes & possible issues
- If iTunes warns you that your iPhone is linked to another library and asks whether you want to sync /delete it, don't do so, unless your iPhone is empty as this would erase its whole contents
Instead, if one of your iPhones is synced to another computer ( library ), start by preventing iTunes from synchronizing iPhone and then Import iPhone content to iTunes
Then only, you can sync your iPhone with your computer - In case you need to Populate iTunes based on iPhone, please follow our step by step instructions
- To manage two sets of iPhone Contacts and Calendars on a single computer, you need to create two user accounts on your computer
