  6. Click the Sync button in the lower-right corner of the screen to sync your content. Only the information in the content list you've enabled syncing for will sync to your computer. If you made any changes to any of the settings, you will first need to click the Apple button.

You can also sync your iOS device over Wi-Fi. For more information, see Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod data with iTunes using Wi-Fi.
