Activating and Setting Up iPhone
5
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 it may take several hours depending on your previous carrier.
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.
