Setting Up Your New iPhone 5

1:40 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

Here is a suggested checklist for your iPhone 5:

  • Backup all your contacts, tasks, pictures and calendar entries from your old cell phone. If your previous phone was an iPhone and you set up iCloud, your backup is covered. If your previous phone was an Android, refer to this article on how to backup your phone: http://tinyurl.com/3vuetv3 If your previous phone was a Blackberry, make sure you were sync'ing your phone to your computer via Blackberry Desktop Manager.
  • Activate your new iPhone. This can be done in your cell phone providers store, on their website or by calling their technical support line.
  • Make sure you create an iCloud account on your iPhone and turn on the Find Me function. 
  • Your iTunes Account is used to download application software for your iPhone. I strongly suggest making sure that the method of payment is set to "none". Fill in a credit card only when you are paying for applications. Once the purchase is made, change the payment method back to "none".
  • Buy a good case to protect your iPhone. http://tinyurl.com/9xwej78
  • The charging /sync'ing port on the iPhone 5 is incompatible with older iPhones. If the battery life turns out to be as bad as the iPhone 4s, buy a car charger. 
  • I always have more than one sync cable for my iPhone. They get mislaid or appropriated. Here is a link to buy one: http://tinyurl.com/8um564e
