Preventing Automatic Syncing, Applications Pane

•Notes

Sync notes in the Notes application on iPhone with notes in Mail on a Mac or with Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you must have Mac OS version 10.5.7 or later installed to sync notes.)

•Advanced

These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync.

Applications Pane

Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications to sync on iPhone, or to arrange your Home screen (requires iTunes 9 or later). Any applications downloaded directly to iPhone are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync. If you manually delete an application on iPhone, you can reinstall it from this pane as long as it was previously synced.

Ringtones Pane

Use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone.

Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and iTunes U Panes

Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U collections, or select the content you want on iPhone.

If you want to watch rented movies on iPhone, transfer them to iPhone using the Movies pane in iTunes.

If there’s not enough room on iPhone for all the media you’ve specified, iTunes can create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone.

Note: The iTunes U pane appears only in iTunes 9 or later. In earlier versions of iTunes, iTunes U content appeared in the Podcasts pane.

Photos Pane

You can sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 required) with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos and videos in any folder on your computer that contains images.
