for iOS 5.0 software

Connecting iPhone to your computer
If you don’t have Wi-Fi or cellular access, you may need to connect iPhone to your computer in
order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync information,
music, and other content with iTunes. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18.
Connect iPhone to your computer: Use the Dock Connector to USB Cable provided with iPhone.
Setting up mail and other accounts
iPhone works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based mail,
contacts, and calendar service providers. If you don’t already have a mail account, you can set up a
free iCloud account when you rst set up iPhone, or later in Settings > iCloud.
Set up an account: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
For information about iCloud, see “iCloud” on page 17.
You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization
supports it. See “Syncing contacts” on page 107.
You can add a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars or import
them from Mail. See page 71.
Managing content on your iOS devices
You can transfer information and les between your iOS devices and computers using either
iCloud or iTunes.
 iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them
to your devices. When something changes on one of your devices, your other devices are
automatically updated. See “iCloud,” below.
 iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPhone. Changes you
make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to copy
a le to iPhone for use with an app, or to copy a document you’ve created on iPhone to your
computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 18.
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use iCloud
Photo Stream to automatically get photos you take on iPhone to your other devices, and use
iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPhone.
Note: You should not sync items on the Info pane of iTunes (such as contacts, calendars, and
notes) and also use iCloud to keep that information up to date on your devices. If you do both,
duplicated data may result.
