You will need a major credit card to open a new iTunes Store account. Activating iPhone Before you can use any of iPhone's features, you must activate iPhone by signing up for an AT&T service plan and registering iPhone with the network. If you already have an AT&T (Cingular) wireless account, you can choose to upgrade your account to work with iPhone, or you can keep using your old phone and add a new line for iPhone. (Some accounts may not be upgradable.) You can transfer your current phone number to iPhone, or get a new one. For more information about iPhone, including videos about how to activate and use iPhone, go to: www.apple.com/iphone 4 To activate iPhone: 1 Download and install iTunes 7.3 (or later) from www.itunes.com. 2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the dock and cable that came with iPhone. (Don't connect iPhone to the USB port on your keyboard--it does not have enough power.) iTunes opens automatically. 3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to activate iPhone and sync iPhone with your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and bookmarks on your computer. A single checkmark in "Set Up Your iPhone" syncs all these items automatically. Or you can use iTunes to customize the information you sync, and to sync your music, photos, podcasts, TV shows, and movies to iPhone. See the following section. Important: AT&T will send you a welcome text message a few minutes after activation is complete, letting you know that you can receive calls. If you are migrating your current phone number to iPhone, activation is usually completed in less than 20 minutes, but may take several hours depending on your previous carrier. In the meantime, you can make calls and use iPhone's other features. Syncing iPhone with Your Computer When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes syncs iPhone with the information and media on your computer, according to your iPhone settings in iTunes. By default, iTunes does this automatically. Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 5 You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:  Contacts--names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on  Calendars--appointments and events  Email account settings  Webpage bookmarks  Music and audiobooks  Movies  TV shows  Podcasts  Photos Because music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos are managed on your computer, these items are synced one-way, from your computer to iPhone. Email account settings also are only synced from your computer to iPhone. This allows you to customize your email account on iPhone without affecting the email account settings on your computer. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make on iPhone get synced to your computer, and vice versa. If you like, 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 movies. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer. Important: You can connect and sync only with one iPhone at a time. If you're using a PC, you should be logged in to your own user account on the computer before connecting iPhone. If you connect more than one iPhone to the same user account, use the same sync settings for each. Setting Up Syncing You use iTunes on your computer to set up which items are synced with iPhone. Set up syncing 1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically). 2 Select iPhone in the iTunes Source pane. 3 Configure the sync settings in each of the panes. 4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen. 6 Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone configuration panes in iTunes. For more information, see iTunes Help (in iTunes, choose Help > iTunes Help). Summary Pane Select "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" to have iTunes sync iPhone automatically whenever you connect iPhone 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 page 9. Select "Only sync checked items" if you want to sync only checked items in your iTunes library. Info Pane The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser. Contacts You can sync contacts from Mac OS X Address Book and Yahoo! Address Book on a Mac, or from Yahoo! Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), or Microsoft Outlook on a PC. On a Mac, any other address books you've set to sync with Address Book, such as Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced with iPhone. If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you've set up syncing. Click Configure and enter your new login information. Note: Syncing won't delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a Messenger ID, even if you've deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or your computer. To delete a contact with a Messenger ID, log in to your online Yahoo! account and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book. Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 7 Calendars You can sync calendars from iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook on a PC. On a Mac, when you sync iCal calendars with iPhone, any other calendars you've set to sync with iCal, such as your events and tasks in Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced with iPhone. Mail Accounts You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only transferred from your computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone do not affect the account on your computer. Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account is not saved on your computer. So if you sync a Yahoo! email account, you must enter the password on iPhone. From the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, choose your Yahoo! account, then enter your password in the password field. Web Browser You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or Safari or Internet Explorer on a PC. Advanced These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync. Music, Podcasts, and Video Panes Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, podcasts, and videos, or select the playlists and specific podcasts and videos you want on iPhone. Audiobooks and music videos are synced along with music. Photos Pane You can sync iPhone with photos in iPhoto 4.0.3 or later on a Mac, or with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. Or you can sync with any folder on your computer that contains images. 8 Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone Preventing iPhone from Syncing Automatically You may want to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically if you prefer to add items to iPhone manually or when you connect iPhone to some other computer than the main computer you sync iPhone with. Set iTunes not to sync automatically when you connect iPhone m Connect iPhone to your computer and in iTunes click the Summary tab. Then deselect "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected." This also prevents iTunes from opening automatically when you connect iPhone. You can still start a sync manually. Set iTunes to prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones m In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), then deselect "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones." If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won't sync automatically, even if "Automatically sync" is selected in the Summary pane. Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically one time, without changing any settings m Open iTunes. Then as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold CommandOption (if you're using a Mac) or Shift-Control (if you're using a PC) until you see iPhone in the iTunes Source pane. Start a sync manually m Click the Summary tab, then click Sync in the lower-right corner of the window. Or, if you've changed any sync settings, click Apply. Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer Unless iPhone is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect iPhone from your computer at any time. When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows "Sync in progress." If you disconnect iPhone before it's done syncing, some data may not have been transferred. When iPhone is done syncing, iTunes shows "iPhone sync is complete." To cancel a sync so you can disconnect iPhone, 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.
