Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone
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 how you’ve configured the iPhone sync
settings in iTunes.
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
 Ringtones
 Music and audiobooks
 Photos
 Podcasts
 Videos
Ringtones, music, audiobooks, podcasts, and video content 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, webpage bookmarks, and photos are synced from applications on
your computer, as described below. 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.
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.
Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up 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. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is
connected to your computer.
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 user account on the
computer before connecting iPhone. On a PC, if you sync more than one iPhone to the
same user account, use the same sync settings for each.
Setting Up Syncing
You use the iPhone settings panes in iTunes to specify the iTunes content and other
information you want to sync to iPhone.
Set up syncing
1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).
Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPhone to a
USB 2.0 port on your computer.

new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set
up syncing.
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 containing a Messenger ID, log in to your Yahoo!
account and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book online.

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

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.
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 and set it to sync with iPhone. Then iTunes
randomly fills the playlist.
Photos Pane
You can sync photos with 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. You can also sync

cellular network access.
Note: Because iPhone uses the cellular network for the phone, you cannot use the
Internet over a cellular network when you’re on a call. To talk on the phone and use
Internet applications at the same time, connect over a Wi-Fi network.
Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge including, in some regions, Wi-Fi
hotspots provided by your iPhone carrier. Some Wi-Fi networks require a fee. To join a
Wi-Fi network at a hotspot where charges apply, you can usually open Safari to see a
webpage that allows you to sign up for service.

then select a network. If necessary, enter a password and tap Join (networks that
require a password appear with a lock icon).
Once you’ve joined a Wi-Fi network manually, iPhone will automatically connect to it
whenever the network is in range. If more than one previously used network is in
range, iPhone joins the one last used.
When iPhone is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon
in the status bar at the
top of the screen shows connection strength. The more bars you see, the stronger the
connection.
For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi”on page 92.
Accessing the Internet via Cellular Network
EDGE and GPRS allow Internet connectivity over the cellular network available through
your iPhone carrier’s wireless service. Check the carrier’s network coverage in your area
for availability.
While iPhone is actively transferring data over a cellular network—downloading a
webpage, for example—you may not be able to receive calls. Incoming calls then go
directly to voicemail.

Tap iPod to listen to songs, audiobooks, and podcasts,
and watch videos.
iPod on iPhone works . . . just like an iPod! iPhone syncs with iTunes on your computer
to get the songs, videos, 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 your iTunes library
to iPhone each time you connect it to your computer. iTunes lets you sync all of your
media, or specific songs, videos, and podcasts. For example, you could set iTunes to
sync selected music playlists and the three most recent episodes of your favorite video
podcast.
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.
If you set iTunes to sync more songs, videos, and other content than can fit on iPhone,
you can have iTunes automatically delete random content from iPhone to make room,
or you can stop the sync and reconfigure your sync settings.
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.
For information about using iTunes to get music and other media onto your computer,
see “Syncing iPhone with Your Computer”on page 7.
58
Transferring Purchased Content from iPhone to Another Authorized
Computer
Music, video, and podcasts sync from your iTunes library to iPhone, but not from
iPhone to your iTunes library. However, content you purchased using the iTunes
Wi-Fi Music Store on iPhone is automatically copied to your iTunes library.
You can also transfer content on iPhone that was purchased using iTunes on one
computer to an iTunes library on another authorized computer.
Transfer content from iPhone to 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.
Supported Music and Video Formats
Only songs and videos encoded in formats that iPhone supports are transferred to
iPhone. For information about which formats iPhone supports, see page 117.
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
The high-resolution multi-touch 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.

The following audio file formats are supported by iPhone. These include formats
for audiobooks and podcasting:
 AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps)
 Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)
 MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)
 MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
 WAV
 AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)
 AAX (audible.com spoken word, AudibleEnhanced format)
 AIFF
The following video file formats are supported by iPhone:
 H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
 MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)
A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up
only about half as much space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same
song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music
from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by default.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.
iPhone does not support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com
format 1.
If you have a song or video in your iTunes library that isn’t supported by iPhone, you
may be able to convert it to a format iPhone supports. See iTunes Help for more
information.
If you can’t open an attachment in an email
The file type may not be supported. iPhone supports the following email attachment
file formats:
 .c, .cpp, .diff, .doc, .docx, .h, .hpp, .htm, .html, .m, .mm, .patch, .pdf, .txt, .xls, .xlsx
