The One Thing You Should Never Do When Syncing Your iPhone

How To Sync Your iPhone

Whether you choose to use a USB cable or WiFi to sync your device to iTunes, or if you choose another cloud-based option like iCloud or Apple Music to back-up is entirely up to you. Backing up to iTunes is much faster than backing up to the iCloud, but backing up to the cloud is a good idea because then you can access your files (music, etc.) whether you're near a computer or not. It's a toss up.

The One Thing You Should NEVER Do

There is one thing you need to consider when doing either: never interrupt either!

"Once you start a process of backing up and restoring the phone’s information the iOS software opens up certain doors and gates that normally would protect your data from the potential mishap." Matt Zieminski, Lead Tech Engineer at Puls tells us.

"If you unplug your device at that point you may corrupt the data beyond the point of no return and lose it entirely. Make sure when you start a sync with iTunes you have slotted the necessary time to complete the activity."

You got that, folks? Don't rush things!
