Each desire fulfilled not only brings unlimited joy and moral satisfaction, but also provokes some problematic situations of varying intensity. Just about this relationship, we often do not even want to think. Just recently, you did not have an iPhone, the desire to acquire it, to become its owner was incredible. However, as soon as it was fulfilled, the question began to overwhelm you, and how could you connect your “bitten apple” to MacBook.

There are several ways to connect your iPhone to your MacBook.

Remember that life is not without problems, just learn how to solve them, find the right answers to your questions. We will help you to figure out how to properly connect the iPhone to the MacBook.

Connection methods

There are two main options that you can use when connecting your iPhone to your MacBook. The first option is based on the use of a special cable, one end of which connects to your MacBook, and the other to your new iPhone. This method of connecting two devices is the “oldest”, since the second method is based on a wireless connection. This option was made possible after the manufacturer gave the device a function of using Wi-Fi.

With a USB cable

Apple pays a lot of attention to improving their devices, so it’s not surprising that the 30-pin connector was replaced by lightning cable, which not only quickly enough connects to some other devices, including a computer, but also solves other functional tasks. . However, only one cable to connect your iPhone to your MacBook is clearly not enough, we recommend that you download a program like iTunes in advance. If you do everything as we recommend, you will be able to sync all the content stored on your iPhone.

It’s great that you can copy all your contacts at the same time, which will save you from losing important data. And also, if you wish, you can easily create a backup of your device. If you use a lightning cable, in order to connect your iPhone to a MacBook, you will greatly expand your capabilities. You can:

• transfer almost all content from one device to another;
• install new applications that allow you to perform new operations;
• synchronize notes and set important events in the calendar that prevent you from forgetting about certain events.

Many users actively prefer to connect their iPhone with the help of a lightning cable, since in this case not only the connection between the two devices is performed, but also the iPhone recharges in parallel, therefore you have no reason to worry that the device may discharge during the tasks will be. The biggest advantage is such an incredible ease of connection, not provoking any misunderstandings.

IMPORTANT. However, it should be noted that this method is accompanied by some drawbacks. First of all, it is very important to have lightning cable available. Since it does not come bundled with the iPhone, it is important to take care in advance to purchase it. Unfortunately, having a great desire to find and buy such a cable, not everyone can realize this desire. Such a cable is sometimes accompanied by a rather impressive price indicator, which is not quite affordable for all users without exception.

And also with such a connection to the MacBook, the "apple" smartphone will have to limit itself to movement, since the length of such a cable is not quite great. Whoever does not wish to put up with the identified shortcomings, may resort to using another option, which eliminates the use of any wires and cables.

Wireless connection

After Apple introduced another AirDrop function, the owners of iPhones have a new opportunity, which allows them to sync their smartphone with their MacBook wirelessly. Using the AirDrop function, you will be able to quickly transfer contacts, files, audio materials, and you will not need to perform any complex actions for sure. Required only in the settings you need to set the ability to connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

We suggest you to consistently perform the following actions:

• turn on your Macbook;
• enter the Finder menu, select AirDrop there;
• Turn on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (even if you miss this moment, the program will take care of it and remind you once again about it).

Do the same on iPhone. Go to the control point of the device, select the function Air Drop, then activate Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. If you have a task to download files from MacBook to iPhone, you will need to go to Air Drop, then hold the file prepared for copying and drag it to the window of the device that is the ultimate goal.

The same way, files are transferred in the opposite direction when something is transferred from the iPhone to a MacBook. After the copying process is complete, all downloaded files can be easily located in the Downloads folder.

Unfortunately, the wireless connection is accompanied not only by the advantages, but also by some drawbacks, which are very useful to know. First of all, you can not boast of high speed, because the process of copying or moving makes you wait a little. Also, with such a connection, you should foresee that your iPhone can instantly be discharged, since this process implies a strong level of energy consumption, and it is impossible to ensure the replenishment of energy reserves.

TIP. Anyone who has encountered an unpleasant situation in his life, when all contacts have been lost, understands how problematic this is always. This is especially sad for those whose professional activities are connected with many people whose contacts should always be at hand.

To avoid such a problem situation, many prefer to make a backup option, transferring contacts from iPhone to MacBook. We hurry to please you, that to accomplish this task you will not have to do something incredible. It is enough to synchronize two devices, everything else will be executed automatically.

So, the process of connecting the iPhone to the MacBook is simple in itself, you just have to decide which method would be preferable for you. We recommend that you perform the procedure for the first time not at a rapid pace, but carefully and slowly following the indicated algorithm. In subsequent times, these actions will reach automaticity, so we will not be surprised that you will perform them in seconds or a few minutes.
