Episode 55: Backup & Sync

Tip of the Day Episode 55: "Backup & Sync"

Hey, it’s that time of the year when the new iOS is deployed. Remember to backup your device before your start your update. Oh…by the way, iOS 6 will ask for 2.5GB of free space before it will start the download from your device and plan on about 1-1.5 hour for the update.

Sync over Wi-Fi
Did you know that you can backup/sync your iOS device over your wifi network at home? With iTunes running on your computer and your iPhone/iPad plugged into a power source (supplied power adapter or docking station), your device will automatically sync to your computer over your network.

From iTunes, select your device and set your preference to Sync your device over Wi-Fi.





















Remember, if you backup to your computer, you should have some mechanism in place for backing up your hard drive (external hard drive,Time Machine, Carbonite, etc).
