connection or via AT&T’s cellular network. It’s all here: email, Web browsing,
YouTube, Google Maps, RSS, weather, stocks, and so on.
Part 4, Beyond iPhone, describes the world beyond the iPhone itself—
like the copy of iTunes on your Mac or PC that’s responsible for filling up
the iPhone with music, videos, and photos, and syncing the calendar,
address book, and mail settings. These chapters also offer a look at the
exploding world of add-on, Web-based software for the iPhone, and
accessories like chargers, car adapters, and carrying cases. It wraps up
with a tour of the iPhone’s control panel—the Settings program.
Part 5, Appendixes, contains two reference chapters. Appendix A
walks you through the setup and signup process, in which you activate
your phone, choose a calling plan, and find out your phone number.
Appendix B is a master compendium of troubleshooting, maintenance,
and battery information.
AboutÆTheseÆArrows
Throughout this book, and throughout the Missing Manual series, you’ll find
sentences like this one: Tap HomeÆSettingsÆWi-Fi. That’s shorthand for a
much longer instruction that directs you to open three nested screens in
sequence, like this:“Press the iPhone’s Home button. On the Home screen, tap
Settings; on the Settings screen, tap Wi-Fi.”
Similarly, this kind of arrow shorthand helps to simplify the business of choosing
commands in menus, like FileÆPrint.
