Activate the device

Apple devices, unlike any smart devices in the world, require activation from the company's servers. This matter may be seen by some as "cumbersome" or useless, but it is useful for the warranty account (Apple's warranty is valid for one year from the day you activated the device for the first time, even if you bought today a 5 And you did it for the first time, it will record a one-year warranty for you in the company's servers) and this activation also helps protect the device after theft (we will explain it in a later step).

When the device is opened, it will ask to activate it via the Internet connection, just choose the Wi-Fi network around you and log in to it and the device will be activated, or you can connect it to the computer and open the iTunes program and it will be activated.


ITunes

iTunes

There is only one "official" application for dealing with your device, which is iTunes. The function of this program is to enable you to transfer whatever you want from your computer to your new device, where you can download the application, audios, books, movies, tutorials, pictures, ringtones, and everything. You can also take a backup copy of your device and also update iOS. You can download iTunes to your computer, whether Windows or Mac, from the Apple website Via this link. To be a professional in iTunes, review the following articles:


Create an Apple account

An Apple account is your way to download applications. Many users go to the stores to download the basic applications for them because they do not know how to download them themselves. The advantage of having an account is that the apps you download are always yours. You can create an account from within the phone itself or from iTunes. See this link To learn how to create an account without the need for a credit card.

Remember to keep confidential questions in a safe place.


ICloud services

Cloud services "iCloud" is one of the most important advantages of Apple and its system. The idea of ​​iCloud is simply that you have an account on Apple's servers that synchronizes names, contacts, notes, and all important data, and if you have more than one device and put the same account in them, here if you add a number in one device it appears in the other, you have modified an appointment, it will be transferred to the other and so on. It also features an automatic backup feature, and here you will be safe, as it automatically saves your device's data without you worrying or forgetting.

It is one of the services attached to the cloud, but we wanted to separate it because of its importance. Find My iPhone is a service that enables you to know the location of your device, close it, and even delete all its contents, see this link For more. This feature was added to a new update in iOS 7, which is linking the device to your account, where the thief cannot erase the data or update the version or without knowing your account, that is, the device will turn into a piece of iron with it. If you are not going to enjoy your device, know that the thief will not use it either. See this link to know more.

Software store

It is strange that you find people who go through long months who still do not recognize the software store and depend on the system itself. The iOS system did not and will not provide all the advantages, Apple's philosophy is to provide powerful tools for the developer to release applications for everything, so open the software store and see the top and most popular applications, use the search and find the applications around you, without the store and applications, you have lost the main power of Apple. And if you think the apps are not appropriate for you, you can:
