All Apple devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac can be automatically synced using iTunes or Apple ID. This feature allows you to play music, movies, TV programs or any other content that was purchased in the iTunes Store. Also it’s possible to sync all purchased/ downloaded apps from the App Store and iBook Store.
Typically, Apple devices sync with each other in the following cases:
- You are signed in to Apple Music with your Apple ID
- You have an iTunes Match subscription
- iCloud Library is enabled on your devices
- You have music downloaded to all Apple devices without connecting to the Internet
- The “Family Sharing” mode is turned on
- You have items that were purchased and downloaded from the iTunes, App Store or iBook Store.
You can even set up the “Automatic Downloads” feature on your associated devices. So, anything you buy on one device will automatically appear on all others.
It’s allowed to associate up to ten devices under one Apple ID. Moreover, not only Apple devices can be connected. You can sync your iPhone to Android phones and Windows computers.
However, sometimes users want to “unsync” their devices. It may be necessary in the following cases:
- You have reached the limit for the number of connected devices, and you want to add a new one
- You can’t sync purchases from iTunes and App Store
- You’re going to give away or sell an associated iPhone or any other device.
