What You Need To use iPhone, you need: · A wireless service plan with a carrier that provides iPhone service in your area · A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems: · Mac OS X version 10.4.1 or later; version 10.5.7 or later is required for syncing 1 Notes and for using iPhone as a modem · Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later · Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition · Display resolution on your computer set to 1024 x 768 or higher · iTunes 8.2 or later, available at www.itunes.com/download (iTunes 9 or later required for certain features) · QuickTime 7.6.2 or later (for playing videos recorded by iPhone 3GS on your computer) 9 · An iTunes Store account (for purchases from the iTunes Store or App Store) · An Internet connection for your computer (broadband recommended) Activating iPhone Before you can use any of iPhone's features, you must activate iPhone by signing up for a service plan with an iPhone service carrier in your area and registering iPhone with the network. Your iPhone may have been activated at the time of purchase. If it isn't activated, contact your iPhone retailer or cellular service provider. For more information about iPhone, go to www.apple.com/iphone. Installing the SIM Card If your SIM card was not preinstalled, you must install the SIM card before you can use iPhone. SIM eject tool SIM tray SIM card Install the SIM card: 1 Insert the end of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray. Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. If you don't have a SIM eject tool, you can use the end of a paper clip. 2 Pull out the SIM tray and place the SIM card in the tray. The angled corner of the SIM ensures that the card fits only the correct way in the tray. 3 With the tray aligned as shown, carefully replace the SIM tray containing the SIM card in iPhone. Registering iPhone Registering iPhone with iTunes enables iTunes to identify your iPhone when it's connected to your computer and help you manage its contents. You can then sync information with your computer and media from iTunes, and create backups of iPhone's contents and settings. You can create an iTunes Store account, or specify an existing account, to enable purchases with iPhone. iTunes also records iPhone's serial number in the event you need it for service or in case of loss. 10 Chapter 1 Getting Started Register iPhone: 1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download. 2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the cable that came with iPhone. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to register iPhone and sync iPhone with your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on your computer, and with music, video, and other content from your iTunes library. In the Set Up Your iPhone screen, select "Automatically sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks" to configure those items to sync automatically when you connect iPhone to your computer. You can also customize your sync settings in iTunes. See the following section. Setting Up iPhone Using VoiceOver If you're visually impaired, VoiceOver (available only on iPhone 3GS) can help you set up iPhone without a sighted assistant. VoiceOver describes aloud what appears on the screen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it. When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes detects whether you're using a compatible screen reader on your computer, such as VoiceOver on a Mac or GW Micro Window-Eyes on a PC, and automatically enables VoiceOver on iPhone. A sighted user can also enable VoiceOver on iPhone for you, using Accessibility settings. See "Using VoiceOver" on page 187. Note: VoiceOver isn't available in all languages. Syncing With iPhone, you can have easy access to important information on your computer, including your contacts, calendars, and even your browser bookmarks, as well as to music, video, and other content in your iTunes library. About Syncing Syncing copies information and content between iPhone and your computer, keeping it current and up-to-date, whether you make changes on iPhone or on your computer. Chapter 1 Getting Started 11 iTunes lets you specify the information and content on your computer that you want to sync with iPhone. By default, iTunes syncs automatically with iPhone whenever you connect iPhone to your computer. You can also set up iPhone to sync your MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange accounts, over the air. See "Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts" on page 16. Syncing with iTunes You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following: · Contacts--names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and more · Calendars--appointments and events · Email account settings · Webpage bookmarks · Notes (requires Mac OS X version 10.5.7 or later on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC) · Ringtones · Music and audiobooks · Photos and videos (in your computer's photo application or folder) · iTunes U collections · Podcasts · Movies, TV shows, and music videos · Applications downloaded from the iTunes Store You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer. Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, iTunes U collections, videos, and applications can be synced from your iTunes library. If you don't already have content in iTunes, the iTunes Store (available in some countries) makes it easy to preview and download content to iTunes. You can also add music to your iTunes library from your CDs. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help. Contacts, calendars, notes, and webpage bookmarks are synced with applications on your computer, as described in the following section. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make on iPhone are synced to your computer, and vice versa. Notes and webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos and videos (Mac only) can be synced from an application or from a folder. Email account settings are synced only from your computer's email application to iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without affecting email account settings on your computer. 12 Chapter 1 Getting Started Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See "Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts." Purchases you make on iPhone in the iTunes Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download content and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, and then sync them to iPhone. You can set iPhone to sync with only a portion of what's on your computer. For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book, or only unwatched video podcasts. Important: You should be logged in to your own computer user account before connecting iPhone. Set up iTunes syncing: 1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically). 2 In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar. 3 Configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes. See the following section for descriptions of the panes. 4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen. By default, "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is selected. iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone settings panes. For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help. Summary Pane Select "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" to have iTunes sync iPhone automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about preventing automatic syncing, see "Preventing Automatic Syncing" on page 15. Chapter 1 Getting Started 13 Select "Sync only checked songs and videos" if you want iTunes to skip unchecked items in your iTunes library when syncing. Select "Manually manage music and videos" to turn off automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See "Manually Managing Content" on page 72. Select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. See "Backing Up iPhone" on page 202. Click Configure Universal Access to turn on Accessibility features (available only on iPhone 3GS). See Chapter 25, "Accessibility," on page 182. Info Pane The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser. · Contacts Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.) If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you've set up syncing. · Calendars Sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.) · Mail Accounts Sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are transferred only from your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don't affect the account on your computer. Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn't saved on your computer, so it can't be synced and must be entered on iPhone. In Settings, choose "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password. · Web Browser You can sync bookmarks on iPhone with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC. 14 Chapter 1 Getting Started · Notes Sync notes in the Notes application on iPhone with notes in Mail on a Mac or with Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you must have Mac OS version 10.5.7 or later installed to sync notes.) · Advanced These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync. Applications Pane Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications to sync on iPhone, or to arrange your Home screen (requires iTunes 9 or later). Any applications downloaded directly to iPhone are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync. If you manually delete an application on iPhone, you can reinstall it from this pane as long as it was previously synced. Ringtones Pane Use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone. Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and iTunes U Panes Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U collections, or select the content you want on iPhone. If you want to watch rented movies on iPhone, transfer them to iPhone using the Movies pane in iTunes. If there's not enough room on iPhone for all the media you've specified, iTunes can create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone. Note: The iTunes U pane appears only in iTunes 9 or later. In earlier versions of iTunes, iTunes U content appeared in the Podcasts pane. Photos Pane You can sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 required) with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos and videos in any folder on your computer that contains images. Preventing Automatic Syncing You can prevent iPhone from syncing automatically when you connect iPhone to a computer other than the one you usually sync with. Turn off automatic syncing for iPhone: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected." You can still sync by clicking the Sync button. Chapter 1 Getting Started 15 Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods." If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won't sync automatically, even if "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" is selected in the Summary pane. Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes, connect iPhone to your computer, then press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Sync manually: In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click Sync in the bottomright corner of the window. Or, if you've changed any sync settings, click Apply. Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts iPhone works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular email systems. Setting Up Accounts MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar information that can be synced to iPhone automatically, over the air. MobileMe can also sync your bookmarks on iPhone with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer on a PC. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email accounts directly on iPhone. iPhone uses the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, calendars, and contacts with the following versions of Microsoft Exchange: · Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 · Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 For many popular email accounts, iPhone automatically enters most of the settings for you. If you don't already have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. You can also try MobileMe, free for 60 days. Go to www.me.com. Set up an account on iPhone: 1 From the iPhone Home screen, tap Settings. 2 Tap "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," then tap Add Account. 3 Tap an account type: · Microsoft Exchange · MobileMe · Google email 16 Chapter 1 Getting Started · Yahoo! Mail · AOL · Other 4 Enter your account information and tap Save. Your service provider or system administrator can provide the account settings you need. Exchange accounts: Enter your complete email address, domain (optional), user name, password, and a description. The description can be whatever you like. iPhone supports Microsoft's Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server's address can't be determined, you're asked to enter it. (Enter the complete address in the Server field.) Once you connect to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your passcode to match the policies set on the server. 5 If you're setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want to use on iPhone--mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only). MobileMe includes the Find My iPhone feature that helps you locate iPhone if it's been lost or stolen, and remotely lock, set a passcode, or erase the information on iPhone if necessary. See "Security Features" on page 45. If you enable Find My iPhone for your MobileMe account, make sure that Push is turned on for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" > Fetch New Data, and if Push is off, tap to turn it on. For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to iPhone. If you already have contact or calendar information on iPhone when you enable the account, iPhone asks what you want to do with existing information on iPhone. You can choose to merge the existing data into your MobileMe or Exchange account. If you don't merge the data, you can choose to keep it in a separate account on iPhone (the account is labeled "On My iPhone"), or delete it. Existing bookmarks can only be merged or deleted. Similarly, when you disable contacts or calendars in an MobileMe or Exchange account, or if you delete an account, iPhone asks if you want to keep information or delete it. You can add contacts using an LDAP account if your company or organization supports it. See "Adding Contacts" on page 176. You can subscribe to CalDAV or iCal (.ics) calendars. See "Subscribing to and Sharing Calendars" on page 93. Chapter 1 Getting Started 17 Push Accounts MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as "push" accounts. When new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information is automatically delivered (pushed) to iPhone. (In contrast, "fetch" services require your email software to periodically check with your service provider to see if new messages have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.) MobileMe and Exchange also use push to sync your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only) if you have those items selected in the account settings. Synced information is transferred automatically over your wireless connection; you don't need to connect iPhone to your computer to sync. If you don't have a cellular connection, iPhone can receive pushed data over a Wi-Fi connection when iPhone is awake (the screen is on, or iPhone is connected to your computer or a power adapter). Installing Configuration Profiles If you're in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and other items on iPhone by installing a configuration profile. Configuration profiles provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPhone to work with the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a configuration profile might set up your iPhone to access the Microsoft Exchange servers at work, enabling iPhone to access your Exchange email, calendars, and contacts. Configuration profiles can configure multiple settings on iPhone all at once. For example, a configuration profile can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN account, and certificates for secure access to your company's network and information. A configuration profile may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and enter a passcode for using iPhone. Your system administrator may distribute configuration profiles by email or by putting them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a configuration profile directly on iPhone for you. Install a configuration profile: 1 Using iPhone, open the email message or download the configuration profile from the website provided by your system administrator. 2 When the configuration profile opens, tap Install. 3 Enter passwords and other information as requested. Important: You may be asked to verify that the configuration profile is trusted. If in doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a configuration profile. 18 Chapter 1 Getting Started Settings provided by a configuration profile cannot be altered. If you want to change these settings, you must first remove the configuration profile or install an updated configuration profile. Remove a profile: In Settings, choose General > Profile, then select the configuration profile and tap Remove. Removing a configuration profile deletes the settings and all other information installed by the configuration profile from iPhone. Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer Unless iPhone is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it from your computer at any time. When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows "Sync in progress." If you disconnect iPhone before it finishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When iPhone finishes syncing, iTunes shows "iPhone sync is complete." Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPhone. If you get a call during a sync, the sync is canceled automatically and you can unplug iPhone to answer the call. Connect iPhone after the call to finish syncing.
