Apple IPhone IOS 31 User Guide

							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 18 7 .
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.
11Chapter 1    Getting Started 
						

							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.
12Chapter 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.

when this iPhone is connected.” You can still sync by clicking the Sync button.
15Chapter 1    Getting Started 
						

							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 bottom-
right 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• 
16Chapter 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 .
17Chapter 1    Getting Started 
						

							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.
18Chapter 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.
