The manual found on this page was delivered as a PDF document. The software used to convert it to text format has caused a few errors to appear and you should be aware of that. This is especially true where the original document contained illustrations. We have attempted to correct this when the errors were obvious. Often this was simply not possible as there was no sure way to determine what was missing. Some missing text appears to be a result of an illustration being used in the explanation. Also because of the time required to code this manual for use on the web page it will not be possible to keep up with the software updates. Therefore pay special attention to the version number. In the preparation of this manual we have attempted to use headings wherever the formatting indicated that Apple intended one. Unfortunately in this manual Apple, as do many cell phone manufacturers, has chosen to use a symbol in place of a key name. This means that since symbols do not reproduce when converted to text that often nothing follows the word tap in this manual.

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.
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
iPhone to your computer. You can also customize your sync settings in iTunes.
See the following section.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 email account settings on your computer.
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.

Mobile Me, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts.

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).

built-in digital compass lets you see which way you’re facing. (iPhone 3GS only).
Important: Maps, digital compass (iPhone 3GS only), directions, and location-based applications provided by Apple depend on data collected and services provided by third parties. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, compass headings, directions, or location- based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on iPhone to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. In order to provide your location, data is collected in a form that doesn’t personally identify you. If you don’t want such data collected, don’t use the feature.

iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded applications and data, and other information on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup is not the same as syncing content and other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and applications that you download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded applications and data, and other information that resides on iPhone. You can restore these items from a backup using iTunes, but you may also have to sync your iTunes library content again. Applications downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Backups can be created in the following ways:

iPhone before restoring.
If you use a Bluetooth headset or car kit with iPhone and you restore settings,
you must pair the Bluetooth device with iPhone again to use it.
Page 202
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, go to www.apple.com/support and search for HT1766.

the menu that appears.
3 Choose the backup that you want to restore from the pop-up menu, then click Restore.
If your backup is encrypted, you’ll need to enter your password.
After restoring from a backup, previous data is no longer accessible via the iPhone
user interface, but it isn’t erased from your iPhone. For information about erasing all
content and settings, see “Resetting iPhone” on page 149.
Important: Restoring iPhone from a backup restores all data in the backup, including
data for other applications. If you choose an old backup, restoring from it could replace
the data for applications with data that is not current.
