Apple iPhone setup is a breeze; it’s definitely easier than I thought! You do it all in four easy steps on your computer, using iTunes. Before you know it, you’ll be talking, texting your friends, sending out emails, grooving to your favorite tunes and surfing the web like a pro!
Download iTunes
First, you’ll need to download and install the latest version of the free iTunes software for the Mac or PC you’d be using. For this you can visit Apple’s website.
Connect
Connect your iPhone directly to your Mac or PC using the included USB cable and dock, and voila! iTunes will launch automatically. No more complex configuration required, no fuss at all.
Activate
Activation is made even easier; iTunes will guide you through the simple activation process, from transferring your mobile number to choosing a plan.
Before you activate your iPhone, however, make sure you check and listen to your current voicemails. Reason being, especially if you’re an existing AT&T customer, the activation process will delete your existing voicemails. Additionally, if you’re transferring an existing number from another wireless operator, existing voice mails will not be transferred.
Also, make sure to check the email address that you provided during “Activating your iPhone” in iTunes. Apple and your service provider may need to contact you for additional information.
Sync Now there’s nothing left to do but follow the onscreen instructions to sync your contacts, calendars, music, photos, podcasts, videos, email accounts, and web bookmarks.
With these Apple iPhone setup how-to’s, you’ll really be rocking away with your new iPhone in no time!
