1.7 – Given a scenario, use methods to perform mobile device synchronization

Question 1

Which of the following is the most common connection method when synchronizing data from a mobile device to a PC?
 ❍ A. Wi-Fi
 ❍ B. Bluetooth
 ❍ C. USB
 ❍ D. Lightning

Answer 1

C. USB is the most common connection method used when synchronizing data
from a mobile device to a PC. Though Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also possible, they
are less common. Lightning is the port found on some of Apple’s mobile devices,
but the cable’s other end is still USB when connecting to a PC or Mac.

Question 2

Which of the following is used to synchronize contacts from an iPad to a PC?
(Select the best answer.)
 ❍ A. Gmail
 ❍ B. Google Play
 ❍ C. iTunes
 ❍ D. Sync Center

Answer 2

C. PC users need iTunes to synchronize contacts and other data from an iPad to a
PC. While Gmail can work to synchronize contacts, it is all based on web storage;
nothing is actually stored on the iPad. Google Play is a place to get applications
and other items for Android. Sync Center is a Control Panel utility that enables
synchronization across Windows 10 devices.

Question 3

3. What is it known as when a user connects to several services using several apps
but with only one username and password?
 ❍ A. Android Auto
 ❍ B. SSO
 ❍ C. iTunes
 ❍ D. BT
 ❍ E. Exchange ActiveSync

Answer 3

B. SSO (single sign-on) is a type of authentication where a user logs in once but is
granted access to multiple services. Android Auto is a screen sharing/synchronizing app used on Android-based mobile devices to communicate with a properly
equipped automobile. iTunes is a music/media program that can be used to sync
up a mobile device to a PC or Apple device. BT is short for Bluetooth. Exchange
ActiveSync is a client-based protocol that allows a user to sync a mobile device
with an Exchange Server mailbox.
