Activating and Setting Up iPhone

What You Need

To use iPhone, you need:

A new two-year wireless service plan with AT&T

A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:

Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later

Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition

iTunes 7.3 or later, available at www.itunes.com

An iTunes Store account

An Internet connection

You must be at least 18 years old to open a new AT&T wireless account. 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

To activate iPhone:

Download and install iTunes 7.3 (or later) from www.itunes.com.

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.

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

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:

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

Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).

Select iPhone in the iTunes Source pane.

Configure the sync settings in each of the panes.

Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.

6 Chapter 1

You can connect and sync only with one iPhone at a time. If you’re using a

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

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.

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.

Incoming calls are routed through the device if you answer using the device, and through iPhone if you answer using iPhone. In some cases, your contacts list transfers to the car kit and you can start a call by looking up a contact on the car kit’s display.

iPhone can be connected with only one Bluetooth device at a time.

Mail is a rich HTML email client that retrieves your email in the background while you do other things on iPhone. iPhone works with the most popular email systems— including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL, and .Mac Mail—as well as most industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email systems. Mail lets you send and receive photos and graphics, which are displayed in your message along with the text. You can also get PDFs and other attachments and view them on iPhone.

Setting Up Email Accounts

You must have an email address—which looks like “yourname@example.com”—to use iPhone for email. If you have Internet access, you most likely got an email address from your Internet service provider.

If you chose automatic syncing during setup, your existing email accounts should be already set up and ready to go. Otherwise, you can set iTunes to sync your email accounts, or configure email accounts directly on iPhone.

Â To enable or disable plug-ins, turn Plug-ins on or off. Plug-ins allow Safari to display

some kinds of video.

Â To set whether Safari accepts cookies, tap Accept Cookies and choose Never, “From

visited,” or Always.

A cookie is a piece of data that a website puts on iPhone so the website can remember you when you visit again. That way, webpages can be customized for you based on information you may have provided.

Some pages won’t work correctly unless iPhone is set to accept cookies.

Â To clear all cookies from Safari, tap Clear Cookies. Â To clear the browser cache, tap Clear Cache.

The browser cache stores the content of pages so the pages open faster the next time you visit them. If a page you open isn’t showing new content, clearing the cache may help.

6 iPod

Tap iPod to listen to songs, audiobooks, and podcasts, and watch TV shows, movies, and other video.

iPod on iPhone works . . . just like an iPod! iPhone syncs with iTunes on your computer to get the songs, movies, TV shows, and other content you’ve collected in your iTunes library.

Syncing iPod Content from your iTunes Library

If you’ve turned on syncing, iTunes automatically syncs content from iTunes library to iPhone each time you connect it to your computer. iTunes lets you sync all of your media, or selected songs, movies, videos, and podcasts.

For information about syncing iPhone with your iTunes library, see “Syncing iPhone with Your Computer” on page 5.

For information about using iTunes to get music and other media onto your computer, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Syncing Music, Podcasts, and Video

Only songs and videos encoded in formats that iPhone supports are transferred to iPhone. For information about which formats iPhone supports, see page 111.

If there are more songs in your iTunes library than can fit on your iPhone, iTunes asks if you want to create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone. Then iTunes randomly fills the playlist. You can add or delete songs from the playlist and sync again.

When you sync podcasts or audiobooks on iPhone with those on your computer, both iTunes and iPhone remember where you last left off and start playing from that position.

Transferring Purchased Content from iPhone to Another Computer

Music, video, and podcasts sync from your iTunes library to iPhone, but not from iPhone to your iTunes library. However, you can transfer content purchased from the iTunes store from iPhone to an iTunes library on another computer.

m Connect iPhone to the other computer. iTunes asks if you want to transfer purchased

content. You can also connect iPhone and, in iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases.

To play the content, the computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes account.

Converting Videos for iPhone

You can add videos other than those purchased from iTunes to iPhone, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Macintosh or videos you download from the Internet.

If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPhone and a message says the video can’t play on iPhone, you can convert the video.

Convert a video to work with iPhone

m Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Convert Selection for

iPod.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

Playing Music and Video

The high resolution display makes listening to songs on iPhone as much a visual experience as a musical one. You can scroll through your playlists, or use Cover Flow to browse through your album art. Videos play in landscape orientation to take full advantage of the widescreen display.
