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.

Upgrading from an Original iPhone

SIM card

SIM tray

SIM eject tool

Contact your cellular service provider for information about upgrading an original iPhone to iPhone 3G. Additional fees may apply.

Installing the SIM Card

If your SIM card was not preinstalled, you must install the SIM card before you can use iPhone.

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.

1 Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.itunes.com/download.

6 Chapter 1 Getting Started

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. Or, you can customize your sync settings in iTunes. See the following section.

Syncing with iTunes

With iPhone, it’s easy to have instant access to your contacts, calendars, and even your browser bookmarks. iTunes can sync all this information to iPhone, and your music, video, and other iTunes library content as well.

Setting Up Syncing

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 

Ringtones 

Music and audiobooks 

Photos 

Podcasts 

Movies and TV shows 

Chapter 1 Getting Started 7

Applications purchased or downloaded from the iTunes Store 

You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected to your computer.

Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, video content, and purchased applications are 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 purchase or subscribe to content and download it 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, 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. Webpage bookmarks are also synced both ways. Photos can be synced from an application or from a folder.

Email account settings are only synced 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.

Note: You can also set up email accounts directly on iPhone. See “Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 11 .

Purchases made on iPhone from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store or the App Store are synced back to your iTunes library. You can also purchase or download music and applications directly from the iTunes Store on your computer, then sync them to iPhone.

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 video podcasts.

Important: You can connect and sync with only one iPhone at a time. Disconnect

one before connecting another. You should be logged in to your own computer user account before connecting iPhone. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPhone or iPod to the same computer user account, you must use the same sync settings for each.

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.

8 Chapter 1 Getting Started

Note: If you set up iPhone to sync contacts, calendars, or bookmarks with MobileMe

or Microsoft Exchange, syncing for those items is turned oﬀ in iTunes. See “Setting Up Accounts” on page 12 .

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 11 .

Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want to sync only items that are individually checked in your iTunes library.

Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn oﬀ automatic syncing in the Music

and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 60.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 9

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 with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Microsoft Entourage, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Address Book on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), 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 

You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal and Microsoft Entourage 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 

You can 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 only transferred 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.

Advanced 

These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your computer during the next sync.

Ringtones Pane

Use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone. To learn how to create ringtones in iTunes, see “Creating Ringtones” on page 42.

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.

10 Chapter 1 Getting Started

If you want to watch rented movies on iPhone, transfer them to iPhone using the Video pane in iTunes.

If there’s not enough room on iPhone for all the media you’ve speciﬁed, iTunes asks if

you want to create a special playlist. iTunes creates the playlist for you, and sets it to sync with iPhone.

Photos Pane

You can sync photos with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 or later, or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can also sync photos in any folder on your computer that contains images.

Applications Pane

Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications you want installed on iPhone. 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.

Preventing Automatic Syncing

You may want to 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 always sync by clicking the Sync button.

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. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, 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 lowerright 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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 11

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 of the popular email accounts, iPhone automatically enters most of the settings for you.

If you don’t have 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.

Add an account on iPhone:

1 From iPhone’s Home screen, tap Settings.

2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

3 Tap an account type:

Microsoft Exchange 

MobileMe 

Google email 

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.

12 Chapter 1 Getting Started

5 If you’re setting up an Exchange or MobileMe account, tap the items you want to

sync—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only). For Exchange accounts, you can also set how many days of email you want to sync to iPhone. Then tap Save.

Important: If you sync contacts or calendars using your Exchange or MobileMe

account, syncing for contacts or calendars in iTunes is turned oﬀ. Any contact or

calendar information on iPhone is replaced by the contacts and calendars from your Exchange or MobileMe account.

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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started 13

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.

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.
