Today we will be the first time turn on and activate our iPhone, in my case it's an iPhone 5S. I will tell you in detail how this is done, as well as point out the errors and problems that I encountered in the process of activating my iPhone.

Preparing to activate iPhone

Before we start the first inclusion, we need to prepare in advance so that the process goes smoothly and without errors.

What we need:

  1. At least 20-30% charge.
  2. Internet access via Wi-Fi or via PC/Laptop with latest version of iTunes and internet connected.
  3. Nano sim card.

If your device is completely discharged, take USB cable and connect it to a computer or electrical network through the adapter that comes with the kit.

if you have WiFi, then check that it is available and you have Internet access.

If not, then you will need your computer or laptop, which will be connected to the Internet. You need to download and install the latest version of the application on it (your computer). iTunes from the official site, link: http://itunes.apple.com/ .

After the preparatory stages, you can start activation.

iPhone activation

We will activate the iPhone with a SIM card, and accordingly, the activation will consist of the following steps:

  • Inclusion
  • Basic settings
  • Connecting to a computer and activation
  • First start

IMPORTANT! If your phone is locked, then for activation you will need a SIM card of the operator to which it is locked!

Turning on the device

In order to turn on the device, you must press and hold the button for a few seconds. "inclusions" located on the top of the device. See photo below.

If everything is done correctly, then iPhone screen a silver apple will appear, which means you can proceed to the next step.

iPhone basic settings

After turning on the device, you will see a welcome message in various languages ​​on the screen. Now with a slight movement of your finger, from left to right, we draw along the bottom of the screen.

Then we select the language we need, it can be any of the list.

In the next step, choose a country.

If you have Wi-Fi, then select it from the list and enter the password. For those who don't have it, you'll need to activate via iTunes on your PC.

Connecting the phone to the computer and continue activation

We will need our USB cable and computer/laptop (PC). We connect the cable to the iPhone, and then to your PC.

After that, on the screen of your phone, you should see a picture as in the photo below:

The first thing you need to do after connecting is enable or disable. They are necessary for GPS usage, google maps etc. You can enable them now or later, after installation. I decided to turn them on right away.

In the next step, we select "set phone as new", since this is our first inclusion and we have nothing to restore yet.

For iPhone 5S owners, there is one item that can be done immediately or postponed until later. I decided to do it right away, if you too, then click on "Set Up Now"

Now we need to press and release the button several times (about 10-20) "home", as shown on the screen of your smartphone. If you did everything correctly, you will see a picture and a message like in my photo below.

Since we have set a fingerprint, then you need to set a password. After all, we will not always have the opportunity to remove it. For example, you can be wearing gloves or with a dirty finger you need, you never know what. Therefore, for convenience, there is digital combination, which also needs to be set and remembered.

The next and last step is "diagnostics", i.e. you need to decide whether or not to allow the phone to send data to Apple's servers. It can be either error data or something else. I decided not to do this, and accordingly I chose "Don't Send"(do not send).

After that, you will see a long-awaited greeting on your screen! This means that you have successfully installed and activated your iPhone! Congratulations!

If something didn’t work out for you, then I advise you to take a look at the problems that I had during my first launch, as well as watch the video where I explained everything in detail.

Problems when activating iPhone and their solution

I will describe the problems that I had when activating my iPhone 5S, as well as their solutions.

  1. If you do not remove the factory film from the phone, then it is almost impossible to press the Home button (round, on the front, bottom of the phone). Therefore, when the phone was automatically blocked, I had to press the power button (on top of the phone).
  2. Due to the lack of Wi-Fi, a computer was needed.
  3. Since I had old version iTunes, I couldn't connect my phone to my computer. I had to first download and update it to latest version.
  4. For iTunes updates it must be closed, otherwise it will not be updated, but will give an update error.
  5. To remove a fingerprint, you need to remove the factory film, otherwise nothing will work, since the sensor does not recognize it from under the film.

These are the problems I had at the stage of my activation and the first launch, I hope my experience will allow you to avoid them.

I also advise you to look at the Apple support page, there are already many answers to activation problems, link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424?viewlocale=ru_RU&locale=ru_RU.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Slowly acquiring gadgets from Apple I really liked their uncompromising approach to user convenience.

iTunes is installed exactly like any other application on your computer, and has support for the Russian language. In addition, you can immediately understand what exactly it will allow you to do and what opportunities it will provide:

At one of the steps, you will be prompted to check the box to accept the agreement on the use of this software. At the first launch, you will be prompted to open access for Apple to your library so that photos of artists and disc covers are uploaded to it. I don't need it, so I chose the cancel option.

After downloading and installing iTunes on your computer, it makes sense to immediately click on the button located at the top left "Login" button and register with iTunes, i.e. create a new account.

We press the button "Create an Apple ID". Continue, agree to the terms of registration.

To secure your profile, it is better to answer the questions and enter another mailbox address. If one already exists, then it will be sent to it in the future. New Password. Next, enter your date of birth. If you are under 18, I advise you to enter a different date, as many applications are only allowed to be downloaded by adults.

Then click on the "Continue" button, after which you will be prompted to immediately enter the data of your credit card, with which you can pay for the purchase of applications in the App Store. Is it possible to create an Apple ID without a card? Of course, you can, but you have to start registration from the beginning.

It's simple: enter the card number, security code and other data. At the first registration, one ruble will be withdrawn from your account in order to verify its authenticity.

If you then connect to a computer iPad via USB when iTunes is turned off, this will cause it to start and it will automatically detect the gadget connected to it, and also display it in the form of such a button:

The button on the right will have an upward pointing triangle (like you might have seen on CD players, where it served to eject the media). I accidentally clicked on it at the beginning, waiting for the appearance context menu, but instead the button disappeared and my Ipad disconnected from the computer.

I had to close and reopen iTunes to reconnect with my tablet. You need to click a little to the left and then you will open all the diversity of the inner world of your gadget. On the first tab "Review" a page opens with its name and model, as well as with all other data. Battery charge, capacity, serial number.

Here you can update software of your gadget (check for availability and download a new iOS version) or restore its state to factory settings (“Restore iPad” button), that is, erase all personal data and bring the device to the state in which you purchased it (alas, this does not apply to scratches).

It turns out that from here you can manage your "apple", as well as create backups or recover from them. You can even encrypt them for greater security if the data stored on the Iphone or iPad is confidential. By default, iTunes will create an image of a tablet or phone on your computer, but you can save important data in the cloud, which Apple calls iCloud.

Create backups ( sync iphone, ipod or ipad with itunes) is very important, because in case of data loss, or purchase new version gadget, you can download all the programs again - in this case, we will not have to look for and buy everything again.

Moreover, as shown in the screenshot (second) located just below, it will be possible to set up automatic synchronization immediately when you connect the device (via USB), and you can also set up wi-fi synchronization between your computer with iTunes and your Iphone.

All this data can be saved not only on a computer, but also in cloud storage, the so-called iCloud.

It turns out that here you can upload music, video or photos from your computer to your device and vice versa, but not only. Moreover, there is a possibility create your own music library (not from the tracks bought in the Apple store, but from your own, which live on your computer).

To do this, open the folder with your music in File Explorer (or Total Commander), and in iTunes go to the "Music" tab.

After that, select all the necessary tracks in the explorer and drag them to an empty space in the program, as shown in the screenshot.

iTunes will offer to convert some types of music files into a format convenient for this program:

Right in iTunes, you can edit this music and even listen to it. Click on any music file icon right click mouse and select "Play" from the context menu. On the top panel, where a bitten apple used to show off, a player will appear.

If you click on the arrow in this very player, a window will open where you can choose which music will be played for which. If you are not satisfied with these "gray notes" instead of the cover of your favorite band, then you can change it as well as the name.

To do this, right-click on the icon again and select "Details". A window will open, where you can write a title, album, etc. To change the cover, first copy the desired image and then open the "cover" tab and click paste. The beauty.

In the same way as in the case of music, drag the video files into the program and click on the "Finish" button. You can download books the same way.

Let's press the button « iTunes Store» , which is located in the upper right corner. A store opens in front of us where you can buy movies, music and applications. We already have films with music, so we press App Store.

Large banners on top are new and popular applications. On the right, you can select a category or, dropping a little lower, some other section. If you wanted to fuck free app then press "Download" or "Buy" button, if it is paid. To install it, you will have to enter the password that you created earlier when creating your Apple ID.

The downloaded or purchased program will live in your Apple ID account, and you can always install it on your gadget. To do this, connect it to your computer and go to the Programs tab in iTunes. Find there visually or using the search bar the application you just downloaded and click the "Install" button opposite it.
