Contacts, calendars, or bookmarks are not synced

Install or reinstall the latest version of iTunes. If you have set up a MobileMe account or Microsoft Exchange on your iPhone, iTunes will not sync contacts, calendars, or bookmarks in the Information settings panel on the iPhone. It is required to disable all the items you want to sync through iTunes in MobileMe or Exchange. In the "Settings" section, click "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", click on the MobileMe or Exchange account, and deselect all items that you want to sync through iTunes. If you have both a MobileMe account and an Exchange account, you should deselect these items for both accounts. If you unselect contacts or calendars in your MobileMe or Exchange account, this information about contacts or calendars will no longer be available through the iPhone.

You do not want to sync information from iPhone to your computer

Replace contacts, calendars, e-mail accounts, or bookmarks on iPhone with information from your computer. To do this, open iTunes. When you connect your iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (if you are using a Mac computer) or Shift-Control (if you are using a PC computer) until you see the iPhone in the side menu of iTunes. As a result, the automatic synchronization of the iPhone will be prevented. In the iTunes sidebar, select iPhone and select the "Information" tab. In the "Add information on this iPhone" area, select "Contacts", "Calendars", "Email Accounts" or "Bookmarks". If required, you can select multiple items. Click Apply. Information of the selected type is erased from the iPhone and is replaced with information from the computer. At the next synchronization, the iPhone will be synchronized in the usual way, with the addition of information entered on the iPhone into the computer, and vice versa.

This file type may not be supported. IPhone supports the following file formats for e-mail attachments: .doc, .docx, .htm, .html, .key, .numbers, .pages, .pdf, ppt, .pptx, .txt, .vcf, .xls, .xlsx .

Song, video, or other item will not play

Perhaps the song is encoded in a format that the iPhone does not support. The iPhone supports audio files of the following formats: .aac (m4a, m4b, m4p up to 320 Kbps), Apple Lossless (high-quality compressed format), .mp3 (up to 320 Kbps), .mp3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), .wav , .aa (audible.com speech, formats 2, 3 and 4), .aax (audible.com speech, AudibleEnhanced format), .aiff. This list includes formats for audiobooks and podcasts.
IPhone supports video files of the following formats: H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0), MPEG-4 (Simple Profile).
The song encoded in the Apple Lossless format has the sound quality of a CD, but takes only half the space compared to a song in the .aiff or .wav format. The same song in the .aac or .mp3 format takes even less space. When you import music from a CD using iTunes, the material is converted to the default .aac format.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert unprotected .wma files to .aac or .mp3. This function is of interest when there are data encoded in the .wma format in the media library.
IPhone does not support audio files such as .wma, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2, and audible.com 1.
If you have songs or videos not supported by the iPhone in the iTunes library, you can convert them to a format that is supported by the iPhone. For more information, see iTunes Help.

Creating backup copies

You can create backup copies in the following ways:
- After the iPhone is configured to synchronize with a specific computer, iTunes automatically creates an iPhone backup on this computer when it synchronizes. ITunes does not automatically back up an iPhone device that is not configured to sync with this computer. If you have configured the iPhone to automatically sync with iTunes on a specific computer, iTunes will back up your iPhone every time it connects to your computer. Automatic synchronization is enabled by default. ITunes creates only one backup each time the device is connected, even if the synchronization was performed several times before the disconnection.
- If you decide to update the software on your iPhone, iTunes will automatically back up your iPhone, even if it is not configured to sync with iTunes on this computer.
- If you decide to restore iPhone software, iTunes will prompt you for an iPhone backup before recovering. If you use a Bluetooth headset or car kit from the iPhone and you restore the setting, you must reconfigure it to pair with the iPhone to use the Bluetooth device.

Restore from a backup

You can restore settings, downloaded programs and other information from a backup or use this function to transfer these items to another iPhone device. For this:
- Connect iPhone to a computer with which you normally synchronize.
- In the iTunes sidebar, select iPhone and select the "Overview" tab.
- Select "Restore" to reinstall the iPhone software, restore the default settings and delete the data stored on the iPhone. In iTunes, you can also restore from backups without deleting data stored on the iPhone.
Deleted data is not available through the iPhone user interface, but they are not permanently erased from the iPhone until they are replaced with new data. When prompted, select the option to restore settings, downloaded programs and other information from the backup and select the backup you want to use. Multiple backups are listed separately for each device in chronological order, the most recent backups are listed first.

Deleting a backup

You can delete the iPhone backup from the backup list in iTunes. This may be required, for example, if a backup was created on another user's computer. For this:
- In iTunes, open the iTunes settings. For Windows, select: Edit / Settings. For Mac, select iTunes.
- Select "Devices" (iPhone connection is not required).
- Select the backup that you want to delete, and click "Delete Backup".
- Confirm the deletion of the selected backup copy by clicking "Delete backup".
- Click OK to close the iTunes Settings window.

Updating and Restoring iPhone Software

You can use iTunes to update or reinstall iPhone software, restore default settings, and delete all iPhone data. If the iPhone is updated, your software is updated, but the downloaded programs, settings and songs are not affected. Recovery restores the latest version of iPhone software, restores the default settings and deletes data stored on the iPhone, including downloaded programs, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information and all other data. In iTunes, you can also restore from backups without deleting data stored on the iPhone. Deleted data is not available through the iPhone user interface, but they are not permanently erased from the iPhone until they are replaced with new data.
