But it’s not efficient for transferring a few items — songs, movies, podcasts, or other files — to your iPhone.\r\n\r\nThe solution? Manual syncing. With automatic syncing, iTunes updates your iPhone automatically to match your criteria. Changes to your iTunes library since your last sync are synced automatically to your iPhone. With manual syncing, you merely drag individual items to your iPhone.\r\nAutomatic and manual sync aren’t mutually exclusive. If you’ve set up automatic syncing, you can still sync individual items manually.\r\nYou can manually sync music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons but not photos and info such as contacts, calendars, and bookmarks.\r\nUse the On My Device section in the sidebar (if the sidebar isn't displayed, choose View → Show Sidebar) to see which songs, movies, TV shows, and other media are already on your device.\r\nTo configure your iPhone for manual syncing:\r\n\r\n \tConnect your iPhone to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi.\r\n\r\nIf iTunes doesn’t open automatically, open it manually.\r\n \tClick the iPhone icon to the right of the media kind drop-down menu.\r\n\r\nIf you have more than one iDevice, the iPhone icon becomes a drop-down menu listing all your connected iDevices. Click the icon to display the menu with your devices, and then select the device you want.\r\n \tIf you want to disable automatic syncing for music and videos, click the Summary tab. In the Options section, select Manually Manage Music and Videos.\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you’re happy with automatic syncing and just want to get some audio or video from your computer to your iPhone, feel free to skip this step.\r\n\r\n\r\nTo add items from iTunes to your iPhone without using the syncing controls or performing an actual sync, first choose the type of media you want to copy to your iPhone from the media kind drop-down menu near the upper-left corner — music, movies, or TV shows — or click the ellipsis (…) to select podcasts, iTunes U, audiobooks, or tones. Then start dragging the media to the left. As you do, a new pane appears on the left side of the iTunes window. Drag the media to this pane and the media will be copied to your iPhone immediately.\r\nYou can easily drag media from the other items in the menu: Song List, Artists, Genres, or Composers. And you can add other types of content, such as movies, TV shows, podcasts, and books. Just select them from the media kind drop-down menu near the upper-left corner of the iTunes window.\r\nAnd that’s pretty much all you need to know to sync files automatically or manually.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":271645,"data":{"title":"Get to Know the Camera in Your iPhone","slug":"get-to-know-the-camera-in-your-iphone","update_time":"2020-06-23T19:47:48+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Electronics","slug":"electronics","categoryId":33543},{"name":"Cell Phones","slug":"cell-phones","categoryId":33544},{"name":"iPhones","slug":"iphones","categoryId":33547}],"description":"As of this writing, Apple produces iPhones that have a single lens camera, a dual lens, and a triple lens. Understanding these hardware differences straight-away can help you navigate your own iPhone better, as well as help you with future purchasing decisions.\r\nOne thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t matter if your iPhone model only has one lens. Don’t ever feel that you may be left out because of your model of iPhone! Here is a truth that you can hold onto: Learning about composition, light, color, and photographic genre best-practices are more important than having the latest and greatest gear. Rest assured, you’ll succeed regardless of your iPhone model and its age.\r\nThe following list describes which iPhone model has what lenses. Included are iPhones that are supported by iOS 13, as of this writing.\r\n\r\n \tTriple Ultra Wide, wide, and telephoto lens iPhone models: 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max\r\n \tDual Ultra Wide and wide angle lens iPhone models: iPhone 11\r\n \tDual wide and telephoto lens iPhone models: Xs, Xs Max, X, 8 Plus, and 7 Plus\r\n \tSingle lens wide angle iPhone models: Xr, 8, 7, 6s Plus, 6s, 6 Plus, and SE\r\n\r\niPhone models with one lens\r\nThe single lens iPhone has one camera that has a wide-angle view, which means that a single lens iPhone is fantastic for landscapes, travel or vacation photography, street photography, architecture, full-body portraiture, and many more genres. But that’s not all . . . this lens (as with all iPhone wide angle lenses) can photograph small objects at a very close distance. Thus, it becomes a useful substitute when DSLR (large camera) photographers need to photograph something small, but don’t have what are called close-up macro lenses with them.\r\n\r\nThe following figure shows an example of the out-of-production but highly regarded iPhone SE, which sports a single lens. All iPhone series earlier than the 11 models have a single lens option and are usually less expensive to purchase.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_271628\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"556\"] Example of a single lens iPhone model[/caption]\r\niPhone models with two lenses\r\nMost dual lens iPhones add what Apple calls a telephoto view, which means that the second additional lens has what is popularly called a zoomed-in view. That description is technically incorrect as the lens cannot physically zoom in an out. However, it’s an adequate description in that you’ll be able to see far away objects much better by using this additional lens.\r\nThis telephoto lens is very similar to the viewing angle of your eyes. Thus, it has been a popular field of view for those who want an accurate display of whatever is in front of their lens.\r\nWith the advent of the iPhone 11 series, the non-Pro dual lens models called iPhone 11 do not have a telephoto lens option. However, they can certainly zoom in with what is called digital zoom. Their lenses are the wide and the ultra-wide-angle versions. The triple lens iPhone 11 Pro series includes the telephoto lens as well as the two wide angle options.\r\n\r\nThe following figure is an example of what a typical two lens iPhone would look like. Keep in mind that earlier series iPhones had the two lenses side-by-side in a horizontal arrangement, while later series iPhones had the two lenses stacked vertically.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_271582\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"556\"] The dual lens iPhone XS Max’s wide-angle and telephoto lenses.[/caption]\r\niPhone models with three lenses\r\nWith the advent of the iPhone 11 Pro models, Apple has entered the three-lens game. The new addition is called an Ultra Wide angle lens, and it is truly wide! You’ll be able to fit in your composition a huge amount of the scene in front of you for a unique super wide view.\r\n\r\nThe Ultra Wide lens is perfect for landscape and architectural photographers, and street photographers have been putting this lens to very good use as well. The other two lenses haven’t changed much with regards to the viewing angle. You’ll still have the normal wide angle and telephoto view, much the same as what you would have been used to with any older dual lens iPhone models.\r\n\r\nThe iPhone 11 Pro Max and its triple lens layout is shown in the following figure. However, keep in mind that the 11 Pro (which is a bit smaller in size) has the same three lenses with the same image quality.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_271641\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"556\"] Triple lens cameras that come with the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max models.[/caption]\r\nFuture iPhone models with more than three lenses\r\nCould there ever be a four-lens iPhone model? At the time of this writing, there are only rumors. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to have an additional fourth lens in the future that is even more of a telephoto view than the normal telephoto lens. While it would take a near engineering miracle to fit a longer telephoto lens on an iPhone, micro technology is advancing at such a rate that we may see such an iPhone within a short amount of time.\r\nYour iPhone camera versus a professional camera\r\nA lot of people get tempted by the allure of a very expensive professional DSLR camera, as they believe that they can create better photographs with it. While improved photographs can certainly be true, keep in mind that most photography these days is viewed on a screen. This view means that its often difficult to judge which image is from an iPhone and which is from a pro-level DSLR when compared on a portable device.\r\n\r\nSo, the general rule is to take your iPhone camera to the furthest that you can push it. And when you feel that you have mastered the iPhone and are feeling creatively held-back, then consider a DSLR or Mirrorless style of camera. The larger cameras will have greater resolution, but keep in mind that they don’t have the convenience of the iPhone, which often makes the iPhone a better choice for daily use.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":170552,"data":{"title":"How to Take Photos with Your iPhone","slug":"how-to-take-photos-with-your-iphone","update_time":"2016-03-26T15:47:03+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Electronics","slug":"electronics","categoryId":33543},{"name":"Cell Phones","slug":"cell-phones","categoryId":33544},{"name":"iPhones","slug":"iphones","categoryId":33547}],"description":"As with many apps on the iPhone, you find the Camera app icon on the Home screen. Unless you moved things around, the Camera app is positioned on the upper row of icons, all the way to the right and adjacent to its next of kin, the Photos icon.\nMight as well snap an image now:\n\n On the Home screen, tap the Camera app icon. Or from the Lock screen, double-tap Home and then flick the Camera icon on the bottom-right corner of the screen in an upward motion.\nThese actions turn the iPhone into the rough equivalent of a Kodak Instamatic, minus the film, of course.\n \n Keep your eyes fixed on the iPhone display.\nThe first thing you notice on the screen is something resembling a closed camera shutter. But that shutter opens in about a second on the iPhone 4 and in a snap (couldn’t resist) on the 4S and 5, revealing a window into what the camera lens sees.\n \n Aim the camera at whatever you want to shoot, using the iPhone’s display as your viewfinder.\nYou get a brilliant 3-1/2-inch display on older models, or a widescreen 4-inch display on the iPhone 5. \nMake sure the switch at the bottom-right corner of the screen is set to camera mode rather than video mode. (The switch appears in the upper-right corner of the screen if you orient the iPhone in landscape, or a sideways, position). The on-screen switch is under the little picture of a camera rather than the little picture of a video camera.\n \n When you’re satisfied with what’s in the frame, do one of the following to snap the picture:\n \n Tap the icon that resembles a camera at the bottom of the screen to snap the picture. The camera icon is on the right if you hold the iPhone sideways. You’ll be able to change the point of focus if necessary.\nIf you have trouble keeping the camera steady, try this trick. Rather than tap the camera icon at the bottom of the screen, keep your finger pressed against the icon and release it only when you’re ready to snap an image.\n \n Press the volume up button. This method is a better way of shooting because it mimics the experience of capturing photos with a regular camera. If you’re an iPhone traditionalist, however, continu to use the on-screen camera button method.\n\n \n \nOn the iPhone 4, you may experience momentary shutter lag, so be sure to remain still. On the iPhone 4S and 5, thanks partly to their zippier chips, shutter lag is no longer something to worry about. When the shutter reopens, you see the image you shot, but just for a sec. The screen again functions as a viewfinder so that you can capture your next image.\n \n Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to capture additional images.\n \n\nIf you position the iPhone sideways while snapping an image, the picture is saved in landscape mode.\nThe iPhone camera button on the screen is supersensitive. Be careful: A gentle tap is all that’s required to snap an image.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null},{"objectType":"article","id":138957,"data":{"title":"10 Hints, Tips, and Shortcuts for Your iPad","slug":"10-hints-tips-and-shortcuts-for-your-ipad","update_time":"2020-07-02T18:30:14+00:00","object_type":"article","image":null,"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Technology","slug":"technology","categoryId":33512},{"name":"Electronics","slug":"electronics","categoryId":33543},{"name":"Tablets & E-Readers","slug":"tablets-e-readers","categoryId":33557},{"name":"iPads","slug":"ipads","categoryId":33560}],"description":"There are so many great things about iPads, and some of them are easy to overlook or forget. Here’s a list of ten of the most favorite hints, tips, and shortcuts to make the most of all your iPad’s features.\r\nUse the iPad’s do not disturb for others\r\nYou probably think of the do not disturb (DND) feature as a way of keeping your iPad from bugging you while you are sleeping, in a meeting, or just don't want to be bothered. But DND can also help you be considerate to your family, roommates, or fellow office workers.\r\n\r\nIf you're going to leave your iPad behind when you go somewhere, activate do not disturb to keep your notifications from bothering everyone else! You can activate DND by swiping down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open Control Center and then tapping the quarter moon icon.\r\nCreate a website home screen shortcut on your iPad\r\nYou can add any web page as an icon to your Home screen, and then open the icon with a tap, like any app icon. In Safari, pull up the page you want to save to your Home screen, then tap the Share icon on the right side of the screen next to the address bar.\r\n\r\nScroll down if necessary to the add to home screen icon, which is a + inside a square. You'll see a preview of the icon. Tap Add to complete the process. Your Home screen appears, sporting your new shortcut. Tap it any time to open that web page.\r\nEdit your iPad’s today view\r\nWe love today view in iPadOS. It's the slide-over view where you can get quick access to recently used apps, see headlines from the News app, see reminders, check out your AirPod battery levels, and more. From the main Home screen, swipe your finger from the left to the right to open today view.\r\n\r\nScroll to the bottom of today view, and then tap the Edit button to display a list of all today view widgets you're using and not using. First, get rid of the widgets you don't use. They don't need to be in your way. Next, add any widgets you think you might like — just don't forget to go back and remove them later if you find you don't want them.\r\nCustomize your iPad’s dock with your most used apps\r\nThe dock is one of the most used elements of iPadOS. It comes with five apps by default, but you can also add up to 13 apps to the dock.\r\n\r\nTo add an app to the dock, tap and hold down on the icon on your Home screen, and then drag the icon to the dock. It's that easy! Don't be shy — add your most commonly used apps to the dock for quick access to them from anywhere.\r\nType on a floating keyboard\r\nHave you ever wanted the virtual keyboard in iPadOS to be smaller? You can do that, and it's easy. In any app that uses the virtual keyboard, just pinch the keyboard using two fingers (or a finger and a thumb), and it will shrink to less than half its normal size. The keyboard will also be set to float, so you can move it anywhere on the screen.\r\n\r\nTo move your floating keyboard, tap and drag the gray bar at the bottom of the keyboard. To expand the keyboard back to its full size and re-dock it to the bottom of your screen, either unpinch it or drag it to the bottom of your screen. It will automatically expand to its normal dimensions and position.\r\nLook up words on your iPad\r\nTo look up a word, tap and hold down on the word to select it. Your word will be highlighted with handles on either end that allow you to adjust the selected word. Tap and drag either handle to reposition it.\r\n\r\nAbove your selection will be a contextual menu that lets you copy, look up, or share the selection. Tap Look Up to bring up the definition of the word, as well as relevant searches, Siri suggested websites, and more. After you get used to this feature, you'll miss it any time you're reading legacy media, such as printed books, newspapers, or magazines\r\nFind almost anything on your iPad using Spotlight\r\nSpotlight is another feature that can easily be overlooked. If you need to find something on your iPad or do a quick web search without opening Safari first, swipe down from the middle of your Home screen to open Spotlight. Type your search term, and you'll get relevant results from your iPad, apps on your iPad, and Siri suggestions for websites.\r\nTap and hold down on your iPad’s Home screen icons\r\nYou can tap and hold down on any Home screen icon for quick access to actions specific to that app. Some apps will have more — or fewer — actions available. For instance, tapping and holding down on the News app icon will give you quick access to some of the news sites you follow.\r\n\r\nTapping and holding down on the Maps app gives you quick access to marking your location, sharing your location, and searching nearby. Apple's Measure app, on the other hand, has no special actions available, but every app will give you the option to Edit Home Screen or Delete App.\r\nLock your iPad’s screen rotation\r\nYou can unlock and lock your iPad's screen rotation when needed. This feature is handy. For instance, when lying down and reading, you can lock your screen if you don't want your iPad rotating the screen every time you move.\r\n\r\nWhen you are doing many other activities, you might want to be free to rotate the screen at any time. To lock or unlock your screen rotation, swipe down from the upper-right corner and tap the screen rotation lock icon.\r\nUse your iPad’s volume button as a camera shutter\r\nWhen taking photographs with your iPad, you can use either the volume up or volume down button as a camera shutter button. Many times, you just can't reach the on-screen shutter button, and this handy trick is really helpful.","item_vector":null},"titleHighlight":null,"descriptionHighlights":null,"headers":null}]},"relatedArticlesStatus":"success"},"routeState":{"name":"Article4","path":"/article/technology/electronics/cell-phones/iphones/introducing-animoji-247389/","hash":"","query":{},"params":{"category1":"technology","category2":"electronics","category3":"cell-phones","category4":"iphones","article":"introducing-animoji-247389"},"fullPath":"/article/technology/electronics/cell-phones/iphones/introducing-animoji-247389/","meta":{"routeType":"article","breadcrumbInfo":{"suffix":"Articles","baseRoute":"/category/articles"},"prerenderWithAsyncData":true},"from":{"name":null,"path":"/","hash":"","query":{},"params":{},"fullPath":"/","meta":{}}},"dropsState":{"submitEmailResponse":false,"status":"initial"},"sfmcState":{"status":"initial"},"profileState":{"auth":{},"userOptions":{},"status":"success"}}
