Sync iTunes content on PC with your devices
To add items on your computer to your iPhone, iPad or iPod, you sync them using iTunes. You can have iTunes sync items automatically (which is the quickest option) or drag items to your device manually (which gives you more control) — or you can do both. You can also remove items from your device automatically or manually.
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, you can sync your device wirelessly when your computer and device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, you need to sync your device using USB.
For FAQs about syncing, see the Intro to syncing in iTunes on PC.

Select the Sync tickbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each type of content you want to include on your device.
The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
