contact your iPhone retailer or cellular service provider.
For more information about iPhone, go to www.apple.com/iphone.
Installing the SIM Card
If your SIM card was not preinstalled, you must install the SIM card before you can use
iPhone.
SIM
card
SIM tray
SIM eject tool
Install the SIM card:
1 Insert the end of the SIM eject tool into the hole on the SIM tray.
Press rmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. If you don’t have a SIM eject
tool, you can use the end of a paper clip.
2 Pull out the SIM tray and place the SIM card in the tray.
The angled corner of the SIM ensures that the card ts only the correct way in the tray.
3 With the tray aligned as shown, carefully replace the SIM tray containing the SIM card
in iPhone.
Registering iPhone
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.
10 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Register iPhone:
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
and bookmarks” to congure those items to sync automatically when you connect
iPhone to your computer. You can also customize your sync settings in iTunes.
See the following section.
Setting Up iPhone Using VoiceOver
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.
Syncing
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.
About Syncing
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.
11
Chapter 1 Getting Started
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.
Syncing with iTunes
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
iPhone. This allows you to customize your email accounts on iPhone without aecting
email account settings on your computer.
12 Chapter 1 Getting Started
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.
Important: You should be logged in to your own computer user account before
connecting iPhone.
Set up iTunes syncing:
1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).
2 In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3 Congure the sync settings in each of the settings panes.
See the following section for descriptions of the panes.
4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.
By default, “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected.
iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes
The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone settings panes.
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Summary Pane
Select “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” to have iTunes sync iPhone
automatically whenever you connect it to your computer. Deselect this option if you
want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information about
preventing automatic syncing, see “Preventing Automatic Syncing” on page 15.
13
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Select “Sync only checked songs and videos” if you want iTunes to skip unchecked
items in your iTunes library when syncing.
Select “Manually manage music and videos” to turn o automatic syncing in the Music
and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 72.
Select “Encrypt iPhone backup” if you want to encrypt the information stored on your
computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock
icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. See “Backing Up
iPhone” on page 202.
Click Congure Universal Access to turn on Accessibility features (available only on
iPhone 3GS). See Chapter 25, “Accessibility,” on page 182.
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you congure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email
accounts, and web browser.
Contacts•
Sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address
Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts,
Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft
Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple
applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Congure to enter your
new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve
set up syncing.
Calendars•
Sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook
2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications.
On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
Mail Accounts•
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 transferred only from your
computer to iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone don’t aect
the account on your computer.
Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer,
so it can’t be synced and must be entered on iPhone. In Settings, choose “Mail,
Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.
Web Browser•
You can sync bookmarks on iPhone with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft
Internet Explorer on a PC.
14 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Notes•
Sync notes in the Notes application on iPhone with notes in Mail on a Mac or with
Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC. (On a Mac, you must have Mac OS version
10.5.7 or later installed to sync notes.)
Advanced•
These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on
your computer during the next sync.
Applications Pane
Use the Applications pane to specify which App Store applications to sync on
iPhone, or to arrange your Home screen (requires iTunes 9 or later). Any applications
downloaded directly to iPhone are automatically backed up to your iTunes library
when you sync. If you manually delete an application on iPhone, you can reinstall it
from this pane as long as it was previously synced.
Ringtones Pane
Use the Ringtones pane to select the ringtones you want to sync to iPhone.
Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, and iTunes U Panes
Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music, movies,
TV shows, podcasts, and iTunes U collections, or select the content you want on
iPhone.
If you want to watch rented movies on iPhone, transfer them to iPhone using the
Movies pane in iTunes.
If there’s not enough room on iPhone for all the media you’ve specied, iTunes can
create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone.
Note: The iTunes U pane appears only in iTunes 9 or later. In earlier versions of iTunes,
iTunes U content appeared in the Podcasts pane.
Photos Pane
You can sync photos and videos (Mac only, iTunes 9 required) with iPhoto 4.0.3 or later,
or Aperture on a Mac; or with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC. You can
also sync photos and videos in any folder on your computer that contains images.
Preventing Automatic Syncing
You can prevent iPhone from syncing automatically when you connect iPhone to a
computer other than the one you usually sync with.
Turn o automatic syncing for iPhone: Connect iPhone to your computer. In iTunes,
select iPhone in the sidebar, then click the Summary tab. Deselect “Automatically sync
when this iPhone is connected.” You can still sync by clicking the Sync button.
15
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods: In iTunes choose iTunes >
Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC), click Devices, and select “Disable
automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods.”
If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won’t sync automatically, even if “Automatically
sync when this iPhone is connected” is selected in the Summary pane.
Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes,
connect iPhone to your computer, then press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac)
or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar.
Sync manually: In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar, then click Sync in the bottom-
right corner of the window. Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts
iPhone works with MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular
email systems.
Setting Up Accounts
MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange provide not only email, but contact and calendar
information that can be synced to iPhone automatically, over the air. MobileMe can
also sync your bookmarks on iPhone with Safari on a Mac, or with Safari or Microsoft
Internet Explorer on a PC. You set up MobileMe, Exchange, and other email accounts
directly on iPhone.
iPhone uses the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, calendars, and contacts
with the following versions of Microsoft Exchange:
Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2•
Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1•
For many popular email accounts, iPhone automatically enters most of the settings
for you.
If you don’t already have an email account, you can get a free account online at
www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. You can also try MobileMe,
free for 60 days. Go to www.me.com.
Set up an account on iPhone:
1 From the iPhone Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
3 Tap an account type:
Microsoft Exchange•
MobileMe•
Google email•
16 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Yahoo! Mail•
AOL•
Other•
4 Enter your account information and tap Save.
Your service provider or system administrator can provide the account settings you
need.
Exchange accounts: Enter your complete email address, domain (optional), user name,
password, and a description. The description can be whatever you like.
iPhone supports Microsoft’s Autodiscovery service, which uses your user name and
password to determine the address of the Exchange server. If the server’s address
can’t be determined, you’re asked to enter it. (Enter the complete address in the Server
eld.) Once you connect to the Exchange server, you may be prompted to change your
passcode to match the policies set on the server.
5 If you’re setting up a MobileMe or Microsoft Exchange account, tap the items you want
to use on iPhone—mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks (MobileMe only).
MobileMe includes the Find My iPhone feature that helps you locate iPhone if it’s been
lost or stolen, and remotely lock, set a passcode, or erase the information on iPhone if
necessary. See “Security Features” on page 45.
If you enable Find My iPhone for your MobileMe account, make sure that Push is
turned on for Fetch New Data. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch
New Data, and if Push is o, tap to turn it on.
For Exchange accounts, you can set how many days of email you want to sync to
iPhone.
If you already have contact or calendar information on iPhone when you enable the
account, iPhone asks what you want to do with existing information on iPhone. You
can choose to merge the existing data into your MobileMe or Exchange account. If
you don’t merge the data, you can choose to keep it in a separate account on iPhone
(the account is labeled “On My iPhone”), or delete it. Existing bookmarks can only be
merged or deleted.
Similarly, when you disable contacts or calendars in an MobileMe or Exchange account,
or if you delete an account, iPhone asks if you want to keep information or delete it.
You can add contacts using an LDAP account if your company or organization
supports it. See “Adding Contacts” on page 176.
You can subscribe to CalDAV or iCal (.ics) calendars. See “Subscribing to and Sharing
Calendars” on page 93.
17
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Push Accounts
MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo! Mail are known as “push” accounts. When
new information is available, such as the arrival of an email message, the information
is automatically delivered (pushed) to iPhone. (In contrast, “fetch” services require your
email software to periodically check with your service provider to see if new messages
have arrived, and then request them to be delivered.) 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).
Installing Conguration Proles
If you’re in an enterprise environment, you may be able to set up accounts and
other items on iPhone by installing a conguration prole. Conguration proles
provide a way for system administrators to quickly set up your iPhone to work with
the information systems at your company, school, or organization. For example, a
conguration prole might set up your iPhone to access the Microsoft Exchange
servers at work, enabling iPhone to access your Exchange email, calendars, and
contacts.
Conguration proles can congure multiple settings on iPhone all at once. For
example, a conguration prole can set up your Microsoft Exchange account, VPN
account, and certicates for secure access to your company’s network and information.
A conguration prole may turn on the Passcode Lock, requiring you to create and
enter a passcode for using iPhone.
Your system administrator may distribute conguration proles by email or by putting
them on a secure webpage. A system administrator may also install a conguration
prole directly on iPhone for you.
Install a conguration prole:
1 Using iPhone, open the email message or download the conguration prole from the
website provided by your system administrator.
2 When the conguration prole opens, tap Install.
3 Enter passwords and other information as requested.
Important: You may be asked to verify that the conguration prole is trusted. If in
doubt, consult your system administrator before installing a conguration prole.
18 Chapter 1 Getting Started
Settings provided by a conguration prole cannot be altered. If you want to change
these settings, you must rst remove the conguration prole or install an updated
conguration prole.
Remove a prole: In Settings, choose General > Prole, then select the conguration
prole and tap Remove.
Removing a conguration prole deletes the settings and all other information
installed by the conguration prole from iPhone.
Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer
Unless iPhone is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect it from your
computer at any time.
When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows “Sync in progress.” If you
disconnect iPhone before it nishes syncing, some data may not get transferred. When
iPhone nishes syncing, iTunes shows “iPhone sync is complete.”
Cancel a sync: Drag the slider on iPhone.
If you get a call during a sync, the sync is canceled automatically and you can unplug
iPhone to answer the call. Connect iPhone after the call to nish syncing.

Finding and Viewing Locations
WARNING: For important information about driving and navigating safely, see the
Important Product Information Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/iphone.
Maps provides street maps, satellite photos, a hybrid view, and street views of locations
in many of the world’s countries. You can get detailed driving, public transit, or walking
directions and trac information. Find and track your current (approximate) location,
and use your current location to get driving directions to or from another place. The
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. Not using this feature won’t impact the non–location-based functionality
of your iPhone.

Chapter 13 Maps
Your current (approximate) location is indicated by a blue marker. If your location can’t
be determined precisely, a blue circle also appears around the marker. The size of the
circle depends on how precisely your location can be determined—the smaller the
circle, the greater the precision.
As you move around, iPhone updates your location, adjusting the map so that the
location indicator remains in the center of the screen. If you tap again or drag the
map, iPhone continues to update your location but stops centering it, so the location
information may move o the screen.
iPhone uses Location Services to determine your location. Location Services uses
available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi
turned on), and GPS ( iPhone 3G or later; GPS not available in all locations). This feature
isn’t available in all areas.
If Location Services is turned o, you’ll be prompted to turn it on. You can’t nd and
track your current location if Location Services is turned o. See “Location Services” on
page 144 .
To conserve battery life, turn Location Services o when you’re not using it. In Settings,

Maps uses true north to determine your heading, even if you have magnetic north
set in Compass. If the compass needs calibrating, iPhone asks you to wave the phone
in a gure eight. If there’s interference, you may be asked to move from the source of
interference. See Chapter 22, “Compass,” on page 173.

you’re prompted for that account’s ID and password in order to download the update.
Syncing Purchased Applications
iTunes automatically syncs applications you’ve downloaded or purchased on iPhone
to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you access
the downloads on your computer and provides a backup if you delete applications
from iPhone.
Downloaded applications are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes.
Afterwards, only application data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Applications are synced to the Applications list in your iTunes library. iTunes creates
the list if it doesn’t exist.

Compass 22
Getting Compass Readings
The built-in compass (iPhone 3GS only) shows which direction you’re facing, along
with the geographical coordinates of your current location. You can choose magnetic
north, or have Compass adjust the declination to show true north.
Important: The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively aected by
magnetic or other environmental interference, including interference caused by the
close proximity of the magnets contained in the iPhone earbuds. The digital compass
should only be used for basic navigation assistance and should not be solely relied on
to determine precise locations, proximity, distance, or direction.
The compass needs to be calibrated the rst time you use it, and may need to be
calibrated occasionally after that. iPhone alerts you whenever calibration is needed.
Calibrate iPhone: Wave iPhone in a gure eight. You may be asked to move away
from a source of interference.
173
See which way you’re facing: Hold iPhone level to the ground. The compass needle
rotates to point north. Your current direction appears at the top of the screen.
The coordinates of your current location are displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Switch between true north and magnetic north: Tap and tap the setting
you want.
Compass and Maps
The icon at the bottom of the Compass screen lets you nd your current location
in Maps. Maps also takes advantage of the built-in compass to show which way you’re
facing.
See your current location in Maps: Tap . Maps opens and indicates your current
location with a blue marker.

Accessibility 25
Accessibility Features
In addition to the many features that make iPhone easy to use for everyone,
accessibility features (available only on iPhone 3GS) are designed to make it easier
for users with visual, auditory, or other physical disabilities to use iPhone. These
accessibility features include:
VoiceOver•
Zoom•
White on Black•
Mono Audio•
Speak Auto-text•
With the exception of VoiceOver, these accessibility features work with all iPhone
applications, including third-party applications you download from the App Store.
VoiceOver works with all applications that come preinstalled on iPhone. In addition,
third-party developers can use the iPhone Accessibility API to make their applications
accessible for VoiceOver users.
For more information about the accessibility features of iPhone, go to
www.apple.com/accessibility.
Each accessibility feature can be turned on or o in the Accessibility settings on
iPhone. You can also turn accessibility features on or o in iTunes when iPhone is
connected to your computer.
Turn accessibility features on or o in iTunes:
1 Connect iPhone to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3 In the Summary pane, click Congure Universal Access in the Options section.
182
4 Select the accessibility features that you want to use and click OK.
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone without
seeing it. VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in International settings, which
may be inuenced by the Region Locale setting.
Note: VoiceOver isn’t available in all languages.
VoiceOver tells you about each element on the screen as it’s selected. When an
element is selected, it’s enclosed by a black rectangle (for the benet of those who can
see the screen) and VoiceOver speaks the name or describes the item. The enclosing
rectangle is referred to as the VoiceOver cursor. If text is selected, VoiceOver reads the
text. If a control (such as a button or switch) is selected and Speak Hints is turned on,
VoiceOver may tell you the action of the item or provide instructions for you—for
example, “double-tap to open.”
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound and automatically selects and
speaks the rst element of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner).
VoiceOver also lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait,
and when the screen is locked or unlocked.
Setting Up VoiceOver
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures used to control iPhone. Once VoiceOver
is turned on, you have to use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn
VoiceOver o again to resume standard operation.
Turn VoiceOver on or o: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and
tap the VoiceOver On/O switch.
You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or o. See “Triple-click
Home” on page 191.
Note: You cannot use VoiceOver and Zoom at the same time.

Practice gestures: In Settings, choose General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Practice
Gestures, then tap Practice VoiceOver Gestures. Practice the gestures described in
“VoiceOver Gestures,” below. When you’re nished practicing, tap Done.
VoiceOver Gestures
When VoiceOver is turned on, the standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects.
These and some additional gestures allow you to move around the screen and to
control the individual elements when they’re selected. VoiceOver gestures include
using two and three ngers to tap or ick. For best results when using two- and three-
nger gestures, relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between
your ngers.
You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and
holding your nger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures
are in force. They remain in eect until you lift your nger. Then VoiceOver gestures
resume.
You can use many dierent techniques to enter VoiceOver gestures. For example, you
can enter a two-nger tap using two ngers from one hand, or one nger from each
hand. You can also use your thumbs. Try dierent techniques to discover which works
best for you.
If your gestures don’t work, try quicker movements, especially for double-tap and
icking gestures. To ick, try quickly brushing the screen with your nger or ngers.
You can practice VoiceOver gestures in Settings: choose General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Practice Gestures and tap the Practice VoiceOver Gestures button.
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:
184 Chapter 25 Accessibility
Navigate and Read
• Tap: Speak item.
• Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item.
• Flick up or down: Depends on the Rotor Control setting. See “Rotor Control” on
page 185.
• Two-nger tap: Stop speaking the current item.
• Two-nger ick up: Read all from top of screen.
• Two-nger ick down: Read all from current position.
• Three-nger ick up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
• Three-nger ick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home
screen, Stocks, or Safari).
• Three-nger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible).
Select and Activate
• Double-tap: Activate selected item.
• Touch an item with one nger, tap the screen with another nger (“split-tapping”):
Activate item.
• Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the subsequent gesture as
standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, then without lifting your nger,
drag your nger to slide a switch.
• Two-nger double tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice
Memos, or Photos. Take a picture (Camera). Start or pause recording in Camera or
Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch.
• Three-nger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
• Three-nger triple tap: Turn the display on or o.
Do single-nger icking gestures quickly, to distinguish them from dragging gestures.
Rotor Control
The rotor control is an invisible dial that you can use to change the results of up and
down ick gestures when VoiceOver is turned on.
Operate the rotor: Rotate two ngers on the iPhone screen to “turn” the dial to
choose between options.
185
Chapter 25 Accessibility
The eect of the rotor depends on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading
text in an email you received, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text
spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you ick up or down. If you’re
browsing a webpage, use the rotor to choose whether you hear text word-by-word
or character-by-character, hear just the headers, hear just the links (all of them, visited
links, or links not yet visited), hear form elements, or hear descriptions of images. In
other words, you can use the rotor setting to hear all the text, or to jump from one
element to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
Rotor options depend on the context of what you’re doing.

decrease the setting. VoiceOver announces the setting as you adjust it.
Scroll a list or area of the screen: Flick up or down with three ngers. Flick down
to page down through the list, or ick up to page up through the list. When paging
through a list, VoiceOver speaks the range of items displayed (for example, “showing
rows 5 through 10”).
You can also scroll continuously through a list, instead of paging through it. Double-
tap and hold. When you hear a series of tones, you can move your nger up or down
to scroll the list. Continuous scrolling stops when you lift your nger.
Use a list index: Some lists have an alphabetical index along the right side. The index
cannot be selected by icking between elements; you must touch the index directly
to select it. With the index selected, ick up or down to move along the index. You can
also double-tap, then slide your nger up or down.
Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.

Song, Video, or Other Items Won’t Play
The song may have been encoded in a format that iPhone doesn’t support. The
following audio le 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•
200 Appendix A Troubleshooting
The following video le formats are supported by iPhone:
H.264 (Baseline Prole Level 3.0)•
MPEG-4 (Simple Prole)•
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’s converted to AAC format by default.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA les to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.
iPhone doesn’t support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio les, 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.

Backing Up iPhone
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.
Creating Backups
Backups can be created in the following ways:
Once iPhone has been congured to sync with a particular computer, iTunes •
automatically makes a backup of iPhone on that computer when you sync. iTunes
won’t automatically back up an iPhone that isn’t congured to sync with that
computer. If you’ve congured iPhone to automatically sync with iTunes on a
specic computer, iTunes will back up iPhone every time you connect it to that
computer. Automatic syncing is turned on by default. iTunes only makes one backup
each time you connect, even if you sync multiple times before disconnecting.
If you choose to update the software on iPhone, iTunes will back up iPhone •
automatically, even if it isn’t congured to sync with iTunes on that computer.
If you choose to restore the software on iPhone, iTunes asks if you want to back up •
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.
202 Appendix A Troubleshooting
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in
a backup, go to www.apple.com/support and search for HT1766.
Restoring from a Backup
You can restore the settings, application data, and other information from a backup,
or use this feature to transfer these items to another iPhone.
Restore iPhone from a backup:
1 Connect iPhone to the computer you normally sync with.
2 In iTunes, Control-click iPhone in the sidebar and choose “Restore from Backup” from
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.
Removing a Backup
You can remove a backup of iPhone from the list of backups in iTunes. You may want
to do this, for example, if a backup was created on someone else’s computer.
Remove a backup:
1 In iTunes, open iTunes Preferences.
• Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
• Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
2 Click Devices (iPhone does not need to be connected).
3 Select the backup you want to remove, then click Delete Backup.
4 Conrm you wish to remove the selected backup by clicking Delete Backup.
5 Click OK to close the iTunes Preferences Window.

Appendix A Troubleshooting
Updating and Restoring iPhone Software
You can use iTunes to update or reinstall iPhone software, restore default settings,
and delete all data on iPhone.
• If you update, the iPhone software is updated. Your downloaded applications,
settings, and data aren’t aected.
Note: In some cases, an update may also include restoring iPhone.
• If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, settings are restored
to their defaults, and data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded
applications, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other
data. If you’ve backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer, you can restore data
from the backup at the end of the restore process.
Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but isn’t erased from
your iPhone. For information about erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
iPhone” on page 149.
Update or restore iPhone:
1 Make sure you have an Internet connection and have installed the latest version of
iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
2 Connect iPhone to your computer.
3 Select iPhone in the iTunes sidebar and click the Summary tab.
4 Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there’s a newer version of the iPhone
software available.
