Congratulations on your purchase iPhone! If you have never used the products Apple before, then I foresee a number of questions to which I myself once looked for answers. Therefore, here I tried to collect information that will help you at first. A kind of instruction for beginners how to set up iPhone, and what must be done after purchasing the phone. By the way, if you have receipts from the store for the purchased iPhone, do not rush to throw them away, they may come in handy.
1. Transfer contacts to iphone from another phone
If the iPhone has become your first phone in life, then old friends will not cause any problems.
For those who have accumulated a decent amount of phonebook entries, transferring them to a new device can cause some problems. There are several methods described here to automatically transfer contacts to iPhone from another phone.
2. Create Apple ID and register in App Store
Without Apple ID you can hardly do anything with your smartphone, just make calls. This is your account on the server Apple, which gives you access to all the features iPhone: installing applications, backing up, updating the firmware, blocking in case of loss or theft.
Therefore, the next step is registration Apple ID, and in the app store Apple.
Very important! Do not lose your data Apple ID and do not give it to everyone. Knowing the access data to your Apple ID, you can block your smartphone!
To unlock, you will have to contact the support service Apple. And to prove your legal ownership of the phone, you need the store receipts, which I recommended leaving …
All applications purchased to your account App Store will always be available to you. I have changed more than one generation iPhone but Apple ID I have only one.

3. Installing iTunes
Previously, it was impossible to download anything to iPhone without iTunes. Now there is an opportunity to do without this program. But, if you do not have home WI-FI, then this is the only way to do something with your smartphone.
iTunes is not only a media player, but also a data sync system with iPhone. Without it, you will not be able to download music, photos, or rigtones to your device natively. In addition, iTunes provides access to the original iTunes Store, allowing you to shop and rent movies. Therefore, I recommend all beginners to deal with this program.
You can download the latest version for free from the website Apple.
After that, connect your phone to your computer via a native USB cable. The computer will recognize the device and launch iTunes.
Now you will need to configure your profile and set a name for the device and settings. Subsequently, they can always be changed. In management, aytyuns is not very convenient. This is the worst thing that came up in Apple. But over time, everyone gets used to it.

You always have the option to restore the content by downloading the program from the store again.
You can delete the program by pressing the icon for a couple of seconds. The icons will begin to shake and a delete cross will appear next to them.
5. Mail setup
Mail setup is detailed here. I recommend synchronizing your phone book with the phone book Google To do this, you need to create a mail account on the Google server.
Why exactly Google? Unlike OutLook, it is not computer dependent, and unlike iCloud, it does not depend on Apple. In addition, if you need to transfer contacts from your old phone, or vice versa, upload your address book to another phone, then it will be much easier to do this via google. Utilities from many manufacturers support this format.
6. Wi-Fi network
If you don't have a wi-fi hotspot at home yet, then it's worth taking care of it. This will give you freedom from your computer and iTunes. You can install programs through the application App Store directly from your phone. And in the latest firmware version, you can synchronize music and update the operating system directly via wi-fi, without even connecting iPhone to your computer. It is not difficult to choose a point and set up a phone to work with it.
There is a lot of information on the Internet on wi-fi routers and network configuration. Here is an article on setting up a home wi-fi network and connecting iPhone to the Internet.
