Step 1. Launch the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Step 2. Click the "Edit" menu in iTunes and choose "Preference."
Step 3. Navigate to the "Devices" tab and check the box next to "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically." Then, click "OK."
Step 4. Connect your iPhone to your computer and right-click your device name under the "Devices" tab. Select "Transfer Purchases." Or you can select "Sync" to sync your device.
