Managing content on your iOS devices

You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers using iCloud or iTunes.

iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them to your devices, keeping everything up to date. See iCloud below.

iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPod touch. You can connect iPod touch to your computer using USB, or set it up to sync wirelessly using Wi-Fi. Changes you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to copy a file to iPod touch for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPod touch to your computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 15.

You can use iCloud, iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use Photo Stream to automatically put photos you take with iPod touch on all of your devices, and use iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPod touch.

Important: Don’t sync items in the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and notes) if you use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. Otherwise, you might see duplicate items.
