Hello dear friends! I thought for a long time why it would be so useful to write on New Year's Eve and the decision came by itself. Surely in connection with the upcoming holidays, the number of iPhone owners has increased significantly. So, the number of questions on the use of the gadget, the correct configuration and optimization of its battery life has increased.
IPhone initial setup
First of all, I want to warn you that it’s not worth it to offer abstruse sellers to set up an iPhone and create an Apple ID for a nominal amount. Firstly, you can do it yourself without problems with the help of this small guide, and secondly, I have repeatedly had to fix the jambs for such miners (then they’ll make Apple ID ugly, they won’t tell the owner answers to control questions). So send them nafig, we’ll configure and create everything ourselves. And immediately one more important recommendation - be sure to keep the check, despite the fact that the Apple international warranty (1 year) obliges official service centers to carry out repairs and maintenance without a check, it will come in handy for you if you sell the phone. Thus, you can prove without any problems that the iPhone was bought in a store and you are not a huckster.
Attention! Depending on the phone model and software version, the above setup items may vary slightly.
1. So, we press the treasured power button and see such a screen.
2. Choose a country, region.
3. We are connected to WiFi, or we use cellular communication. The next step is to enable or disable geolocation services. As a rule, I turn it on, and then, already at the stage of detailed configuration, turn off geolocation for applications where it is not needed. The fact is that it does well to reduce the battery life of the phone, so it’s better to turn off all unnecessary things. I’ll tell you more about this later.
4. If you purchased an iPhone model 5s or higher, you can set up the Touch ID function that allows you to access your phone, as well as the AppStore and some fingerprint applications.
Next, you need to come up with a six-digit numeric password, necessary if it is not possible to unlock the iPhone by fingerprint. By the way, if there are a lot of six digits for you, then you can set a 4-digit password, for this click “password settings”.
5. If the purchased iPhone is not your first and you prudently made a backup copy of the data from the old device, then you can select the appropriate item. Or configure as new.
9. This step is for owners of sixth and later iPhone models. The system suggests choosing one of two options for displaying information on the screen: “standard” and “enlarged”. If there are no problems with vision, then "standard" is the most.
10. We press “get started”, the drum roll ... and now our gaze finally has the phone’s home screen. Congratulations 🙂
I mean, the tips below are purely advisory in nature and are not dogma. It all comes down to which of the two user groups you belong to.
2. Import contacts to iPhone. About all the simple ways to transfer contacts to iPhone, read this small one.
3. Now, back to the issue of configuring geolocation services (settings\u003e privacy\u003e geolocation services). I recommend turning on geolocation (select "when using the program") for the following items:
- Cards
- Camera. Your snapshots will automatically be assigned a geolocation.
All other checkmarks are optional.
Scroll down the list and select "system services". Disable:
- Geolocation iAd
- Compass calibration
- WiFi networks
- Diagnosis and use.
Be sure to leave the “find iPhone” switch on, the rest is again optional. If necessary, you can always adjust the geolocation settings for yourself.
4. Software Update. Do not forget to update iOS in a timely manner (settings\u003e basic\u003e software update), as a rule, with each new firmware Apple improves stability and performance. But not always :). Keep in mind that for this procedure, stable WiFi is essential if you update by air (without a computer). Since updates weigh in the region of 1 GB and not everyone can let all the mobile traffic go to this business.
For a complete view of the coolest features of iOS 9, read
5. Deal with iTunes. Unfortunately, many newcomers cannot make friends with iTunes. I think the reason lies in the fact that Apple decided to shove too many features into it. Here are a couple of articles for your reference.
7. Installing applications. If you have already created an Apple ID, now you only need to go to the AppStore, select the desired application, download it and run it.
By the way, if you do not want to enter a password every time you download applications and content, then in the Touch ID settings (settings\u003e Touch ID and password) you can activate fingerprint access.
On this, perhaps, I will end my brief guide. I sincerely hope that with these tips I was able to save someone from mistakes. Of course, this is not a complete list of everything that can be configured and optimized. Therefore, I am waiting for your comments with recommendations.
All with the coming! I wish new iPhones and their successful operation! 🙂
Setting up the Internet on the iPhone (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, X, SE) is a delicate and delicate process. Like any other more or less modern smartphone, the iPhone can connect to Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, and in the near future, 5G. It seems to be obvious, and what could be complicated in setting up the Internet in this?
However, many Apple users who use the smartphones of this company relatively recently periodically encounter problems with incorrect settings, which is why they can not use this function. In this article we will tell you how to properly configure the Internet on the iPhone to use it to the maximum.
Perhaps we’ll start by setting up the mobile Internet on the iPhone, since it is the most common and popular.
1. First, go to "Settings" → the "General" section → the "Network" tab.
2. In the "Cellular Communications" section, scroll down, find the subsection "Cellular Communications" and go to it.
3. Pay attention to the “Cellular Data” block. Here 3 fields should be filled: APN, username, password.
For mobile Internet operators, you must enter the following data:
| Mts | Beeline | MEGAFON | |
|---|---|---|---|
| APN | internet.mts.ru | internet.beeline.ru | internet |
| Username | mts | beeline | (do not enter anything) |
| Password | mts | beeline | (do not enter anything) |
| TELE 2 | Yota | Motiv | Rostelecom | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APN | internet.tele2.ru | internet.yota | inet.ycc.ru | internet.etk.ru |
| Username | (no login) | (no login) | motiv | (no login) |
| Password | (no password) | (no password) | motiv | (no password) |
Internet and MMS settings for iPhone
Internet and MMS settings on iPhone and iPad
Kyivstar mms, internet settings for iPhone 5
Reset APN if problems occur
If all the data is entered correctly, but there is no Internet, the best way out is to reset the APN settings for their subsequent automatic or manual entry. To return to the default APN settings, do the following:
1. Open the "Settings".
2. Select the “Cellular” section.
4. Select the "Reset Settings" function. If you set a configuration profile, the default profile settings will be used instead.
Setting (turning on and off) Wi-Fi on iPhone X, 8, 7, 6, 5
Next on our list is connecting and setting up a Wi-Fi network. Connecting to the network is extremely simple and the only data you need to enter is the set password (if the network is not open or public).
Here's what you need in order to connect to Wi-Fi:
1. Click the “Settings” icon on the main screen, and then click “Wi-Fi”.
2. Make sure the Wi-Fi slider is set to active, then select the network to connect. If you have previously connected to a specific network, while in the coverage area of \u200b\u200bthe access point, the smartphone will automatically connect to the network.
3. After you select a network, a message appears asking for the password. .
4. Enter the password for the network.
5. Click the "Join" button.
6. Passwords are usually not required for free, public Wi-Fi networks. However, before connecting to such networks, you should take care of security in order to avoid unpleasant situations with data loss and interception.
If you cannot click "Join", it means that the password you entered is incorrect. Please try again or contact your network administrator for further assistance.
After you have successfully joined the network, a checkmark will appear next to the network name, and the Wi-Fi signal strength indicator will be displayed in the upper left of the screen.
the iPhone turned off and does not turn on - a problem that every owner of smartphones from Apple faces at least once in a lifetime. Below we will consider all the most common reasons why a smartphone does not want to turn on. I will not touch on the reasons associated with the hardware problems of the iPhone, since this is work for service centers and it will be unrealistic for an untrained user to fix it at home.
How to turn on iPhone
Before we proceed to a direct determination of the reasons why the iPhone does not turn on, we will check 2 points that are not directly related to any malfunctions.
- If the phone turns off as a result of a low battery charge, it takes some time to turn it on. Keep the smartphone on charge for at least 15 minutes - this will be enough for the battery to gain the necessary charge. Try turning it on. Doesn't turn on? Read on.
- If you are sure that the battery was enough, but nevertheless the iPhone does not turn on, the reason may be the freezing of the firmware or the transfer of the smartphone to save mode. In this case, a hard reset of the smartphone will help us.
- For all models except the iPhone 7, simultaneously hold and hold the power and Home buttons for about 20 seconds.
- For iPhone 7, you will need to simultaneously hold down the power and volume down buttons for the same 20 seconds.
In the best case, the phone turns on and you can use it further, as usual. If it doesn’t help, read on.
Software malfunction
And although Apple devices are rightly considered more reliable than smartphones from other manufacturers, they are also prone to crashes, freezes and other software errors. The causes of such malfunctions, as a rule, are:
- A large number of simultaneously running applications.
- Hacking firmware using jailbreak
- Errors during device update
- Magnetic storms, gypsy curse and other incomprehensible reasons ...
A fundamental way to solve problems associated with iPhone software is through itunes firmware in DFU mode. In this case, we need a computer and a usb cable (it is better to use the original one).
It should be understood that during the firmware all data from your phone will be deleted, therefore it is recommended to periodically create backup copies and this applies not only to iPhones.
- Download and install the iTunes app.
- Run the installed application and connect the iPhone to the computer
- Press the “Home” and “Power” buttons simultaneously, count to 10 and release the power button. Hold the Home button until iTunes reports that iPhone is connected in recovery mode
- In the window that appears, you must click the "Restore iPhone" button and confirm in a new window.
- iTunes downloads and installs the latest firmware for your device.
Recovery in DFU mode is the maximum that an unprepared user can do on his own. If this method did not help, then most likely the smartphone malfunction is associated with hardware problems.
The malfunction of the "iron"
If none of the methods described above helped you, with a high degree of probability it can be argued that the problem is in the hardware of the smartphone. There may be several reasons:
- Natural wear of electronic components
- Water and other conductive liquids getting inside the device
- Battery malfunction
- Malfunction resulting from the use of non-original accessories - charger, cable
- Damage to smartphone connectors
Do not try to disassemble the iPhone yourself, even if you suspect a specific malfunction. Unskilled intervention can end in disrepair for your iPhone, entrust this work to professionals.
iPhone turned off and does not turn on - contact the service center, an attempt to repair it yourself will only aggravate the situation and increase the cost of further repairs.
Many of us, having bought a new device, do not bother to read the attached instructions. And only after identifying the problems, we begin to rummage through booklets from the manufacturer to find out what is the reason. Therefore, if you bought an iPhone, we strongly recommend that you read the recommendations for its use.. Even if Apple declares that the initial setup is elementary and intuitive. Although this is not so simple, given that the iPhone 6 is not even equipped with a brochure, but with a small leaflet. This, in fact, is not an instruction at all, but only a specification with a list of accessories. It is clear that this is done for reasons of economy - but in vain. After all, there are a lot of nuances, non-compliance with which can ruin a person all the pleasure of buying. And it turns out that many subtleties and secrets remain inaccessible to inexperienced users-dummies. To correct this injustice, we will direct you to the right addresses.
"Directory" from the manufacturer
So, this is what the happy owner of an iPhone sees by opening the treasured white box. As promised, only a couple of thin leaflets - and the most popular, expensive, telephone in the world - it is assumed that all iPhone owners are familiar with the computer. Even if it’s not, you’ll still have to master it - you won’t do without it, because the lion's share of operations — updating the firmware, downloading media content, creating backup copies of personal data — everything happens through a PC with the iTunes proprietary application. And a large number of users have a lot of questions even at the settings stage.

Done, you have turned on and activated your smartphone on the network. Now you can closely go through all the tabs of the menu, simultaneously flipping through the relevant sections of the instructions on the computer. So you learn about the many hidden features of the iPhone and can fully use all its advantages. 
Do not be lazy to take a little time on this, because the implementation of all the recommendations that the instruction gives is the key to the smooth operation of the device.
Unfortunately, even with such a high-tech and reliable device as the iPhone 6 Plus, an unpleasant situation can happen.
Violation of operating conditions, an absurd accident, and sometimes factory defects, can cause a smartphone to fail. One of the common problems is the situation when the device does not respond to pressing the "Power" key.
Sooner or later, most iPhone users face this issue. The problem with the inability to turn on the iPhone is quite common. Each generation of iPhones has its own characteristics of this problem. The first thing to do is connect the iPhone 6 to the original charge.
More often than not, the culprit of the breakdown is the Power button itself, which has a damaged pad or cable. The reason most often lies in the ingress of moisture inside the case or in mechanical damage to the part caused by the fall of the phone. Also, often the smartphone’s failure to turn on is due to a serious software malfunction or failure of the power system controller.
Why and how to solve
The reasons why the iPhone 6 turned off and does not turn on are many.
The enlarged ones can be divided into the following:
- complete discharge of the apparatus;
- software issues;
- hardware problems.
Software problems are easier to solve; in a situation with hardware problems, the solution is more complex and expensive.

Software crash
The most common reason an iPhone doesn't start is a software crash. To fix a software malfunction, it is necessary to hard reset the device. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the power key and the Home key for 15 seconds. As a result, the device will reboot and will be available for normal operation.
If this does not help, then try to put the device in recovery mode. To do this, hold down the "Power" and "Home" buttons for 30 seconds.
In a situation where such an elementary solution to the problem together with thorough charging of the battery did not solve the problem, the reason for the inoperative device may be as follows:
- the gadget battery is faulty (replacement is necessary for a new one);
- the adapter or the USB cable is damaged (an adapter or USB cable needs to be replaced);
- the cable connection connector is dirty (it is necessary to clean the cable connection connector);
- low-quality (cheap) cable (replace with the original one);
- mechanical damage to the connector and other mechanical damage, for example, due to falling, moisture, after charging in a car, etc. (you must contact the service center);
- marriage (you must contact the place of purchase).
It is also possible that the iPhone may not turn on after updating the firmware.
There are three different scenarios, depending on when the crash occurred during the firmware upgrade:
- flashing the phone again;
- replace the defective NAND Flash. This is a memory chip on which all the personal data of the owner is stored;
- replace a failed Nor Flash. This is a GSM module memory chip. All parameters of mobile operators are stored there. Without these parameters, the device will not be able to ring.
Power and Charging Issue
If you cannot turn on the iPhone 6, then, most likely, the problem is in power or charging. First of all, you should try to charge it. Moreover, you need to connect it to the charger for at least 20 minutes from the adapter and 30 minutes from the workstation.
After that, you need to try to start the iPhone without disconnecting from charging. If everything is normal, the lightning symbol will appear on the display inside the discharged battery.
When the battery of Apple's smartphone is discharged to zero, then after a short charge, when you press the power button, the image on the display shows a socket with a lightning symbol.
The way out of this situation is to charge the device longer. In this case, the charging time should be at least 3 hours.
There are situations when the connector through which the phone is charging fails when using non-original charging.
It is very important to know how seamlessly you can charge your iPhone 6 in a car, and it’s even more important to follow these basic rules. This leads to grave consequences. In the best case, you need to replace the battery on the iPhone. At worst, it is replacing a power controller or repairing a failed power circuit.
iPhone 6 could
In addition to problems with the battery, not turning on the iPhone can be explained by a human factor. This is especially common when the phone is worn in a trouser pocket.
The device’s connector is clogged with dust and dirt, and the next time you try to charge it, the iPhone simply breaks. This problem is not very serious, since any service center can eliminate it for a little money in a few minutes.
Pour liquid
Moisture on the phone or even flooding it with liquid is not uncommon. Problems with the iPhone can begin not only when drowning it in the pond, but even when it gets in light rain. In this situation, the gadget may start to fail.
In this case, cleaning the device or component repair of the motherboard is highly desirable. It is important to stop using the phone immediately if moisture gets inside the device.
The solution to the problem is not entirely trivial, therefore it is recommended to seek help from a certified service center and avoid problems that may arise in the future.
Miss on the floor
The problem with turning on the iPhone may be due to mechanical damage, namely falling to the floor. It is important to remember whether there was a fall a certain time ago, since the peculiarity of this situation is that problems with the smartphone can begin to appear after a fairly long time after the fall.
The impeccable appearance (without scratches and other visible flaws) does not mean that there are no problems with it.
As an option, one of several loops can snap off:
- power cable
- display loop;
- battery cable
A more serious situation is related to a violation of soldering on the motherboard or damage to one or more microcircuits.
IPhone users may experience a situation when the device turns off and does not turn on. If you do not consider the simplest options, when the battery was simply not charged in time, then, most likely, the matter is in the malfunctions of the boot block of data of the gadget's operating system.
This problem can be solved if you try to restore the partition by connecting the smartphone in DFU mode.
Often, a hard reset will help to remove the device from this position, and if moisture gets inside it or mechanical damage, it is better to contact professionals.
