Included together with a new iPhone, you will receive headphones and charger, it is also a USB cable, with which you can connect the device to a computer.
How to do it:
- Connect the original USB cord to the phone, and insert the second tip into the computer socket.
- You need to download the iTunes program, which when connected independently update the driver. If this program is already on your device, before connecting the phone through the lace, you must start it and check the update.
What can be done by connecting the cable to the computer:
- transfer contacts to the device;
- save important notes, calendars and email accounts (or several);
- update the phone or restore software;
- create a backup and, if necessary, restore all data;
- in the phone's memory, you can download photos, books, videos and music from the computer;
- from the phone to pull in the computer's memory photo and video.
If iTunes programs on your computer / laptop are not, then the device will recognize the phone as a removable medium or flash drive. Only read mode is available, but this will allow you to move photos and video from the phone's memory. If you want to do on the contrary, make data from a computer to the phone, then without a program it will not work.

How to connect the iPhone to a computer via wi-fi
Since 2011, the owners of iPhones have the opportunity to connect the phone to the computer without the participation of the wire using the wireless connection. It is much more convenient because the phone is free and only an additional icon appears in the menu, which reminds you that the phone is connected to the computer.
How to connect the phone:
- The main requirement is a connection and a phone, a laptop or computer only to one network.
- The network is created like this: through the Wi-Fi router or using the laptop module (Wi-Faya).
- In this case, everything is very simple, connected to the shared network, activated, included synchronization through Wi-Fi by iTunes and can be used, and this is the ability to back up; transfer data to the computer's memory from the phone; via iTunes can be downloaded to the phone music, video, movies, photos, etc; Delete games or install new ones.
- For the first connection, you will need a cable, you need to go to the tab on the computer in the iTunes program "Overview", select "Synchronization" and click the Confirmation button "Apply" (it is right below). Synchronization is performed through the cable when it is completed - it can be removed.
- How to check whether the synchronization without a cable is working: run from the iTunes computer or via the phone (settings-main synchronization). The phone can be used because synchronization is performed in the background.
What are the advantages of connecting the phone to a computer via Wi-Fi
It is good that the phone is not "attached" to the computer through the cord, and also does not take the port, it is possible to download any information, install new applications.
Synchronization starts independently if the computer is turned on, and the phone is connected to the charger, then the exchange of new information is automatically.
Disadvantages of the iPhone connection to the computer via Wi-Fi
If you compare data transmission through a cable and a wireless connection, then the transfer rate drops, the battery is quickly discharged. It is still impossible to update the firmware through Wi-Fi (it is impossible to restore this on a wireless network). It will not be possible to restore all the data on the phone from the backup. It is very problematic to connect the phone if there is no Wi-Fi router. You must also update the iTunes program (version not lower than 10.5), raise the phone firmware to iOS5.
