Get Started 9
● Download and use the HTC Sync Manager software on your computer. You can set
it up to automatically get music, photos, and videos off your phone to your computer.
You can also sync playlists from your computer to the phone.
If you have an iPhone, you can even connect it and transfer the camera roll (photos and
videos) to your computer. Then reconnect your phone and copy them over. For details,
see HTC Sync Manager.
Tired of keeping copies of your media in several places? Use online storage services to put your
media in one place so you can manage them anywhere — on your computer, phone, and other
mobile devices.
Go to Settings, and then touch Accounts & sync > to check first what online storage
accounts are available on your phone. Sign in to the one you want to use and then use the
Gallery app to access media in your online storage.
Ways of Transferring Contacts and Other Content into Your
Phone
There are different ways you can individually add contacts and other content to your new HTC
phone.
● Sync with your computer. Use HTC Sync Manager to sync contacts, documents,
playlists, and more between your phone and a computer running a Windows

or Mac
OS
®
operating system. You can also use it to transfer iTunes

backup that contains
contacts, messages, and other content from an iPhone to your computer, and then to
your HTC phone. For details, see HTC Sync Manager.
● Google Account. Google contacts are imported to your phone after you sign in to your
Google Account. You can also create more Google contacts right from your phone.
● Social network accounts. Log in to your favorite social networks to sync contact
information from them.
● Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Your phone syncs your work contacts from the
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Server in your workplace.
● Phone contacts. You can create contacts locally on your phone, if you don’t prefer to
store them on your online accounts.
Restore Your Backup From Your Online Storage to
Your New Phone
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to your new HTC phone when you
turn the phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
