How to activate a new iPhone 5s. iPhone activation. How to set up your iPhone for full functionality yourself. iPhone turned off and won’t turn on - forced start

Good day! There are situations when you visit one or more sites very often, and a link to it should be at hand. And preferably on the desktop. Some people use alternative ways to save links by adding them to favorites in their favorite browser. But it’s better to use several methods, it’s both more practical and faster.

The method that we will consider has a small advantage, it is that it is on the desktop, you click on it several times and the browser automatically starts opening the desired site. This is undoubtedly convenient, the only request is that you don’t clutter up your desktop with website shortcuts, it’s better to create a folder for these same shortcuts and put them there. And Windows will work more stable and faster and you won’t get lost looking for the right shortcut. Unless of course you have a lot of them.

If you have one site shortcut on your desktop or several, then I think you won’t get lost.

So, in this article I would like to talk about how to create a website shortcut on your desktop in two simple ways, literally in two or three mouse clicks. Let's figure it out.

How to create a website shortcut on your desktop by dragging the shortcut

This method is the simplest and fastest. Open your browser, if you don’t have it open, go to the desired site, make the browser window smaller so that the desktop is visible. You can minimize the browser to a window in two ways: double-click on the active window or click on the minimize window button.

The icon is available in almost all modern browsers.

This is what the icon looks like in Internet Explorer:

Google Chrome browser icon:

Icon in Mozilla Firefox browser:

There is no such icon in the Yandex Browser; there you just need to select the site link and drag it to the desktop.

APPLICABLE FOR ANY BROWSER: In the address bar, select the site link, grab the selected link with the left mouse button and drag it to the desktop. The effect is the same as pulling the icon on the site.

To create a site shortcut on your desktop, click on the icon next to the site address and without letting go, drag it to the desktop, release the mouse button, a shortcut with the name of the site should appear.

How to create a website shortcut on your desktop using the standard method.

The second method is no less popular than the first and also leads to positive emotions and results. 🙂 Only it’s a little more complicated. Let's get started.

Step 1. In the browser address bar select and copy the link of the desired site, to the clipboard. Or you remember.

Step 2. In an empty area of the desktop, right-click from the contextual menu select New > Shortcut

Step 3. In the window that opens paste the website address you copied earlier, or type from memory. Press the button Further.

One of the main reasons for the wild popularity of modern smartphones is their reliability and serviceability.

But what if the iPhone 5 does not turn on, and you have already tried all possible methods?

Unfortunately, even the most advanced gadget of our time is not immune to falls, breakage, shocks, and other things.

Below we will look at the most likely reasons why your device does not turn on.

Let's not take into account cases when the iPhone 5 turned off due to the fact that it was simply completely discharged. Let's look at more complex causes of failure.

Reason #1. System failure

As practice shows, a system failure is one of the most common reasons why your iPhone 5S stops turning on. In this case, there is no need to take the smartphone for repair.

You can fix the problem yourself.

Carefully inspect your gadget, if the apple is on, but the blue screen has gone out, then proceed as follows: hold down the only button located at the bottom of the display and the power off (lock) button on the panel at the same time.
Then hold for 15 seconds. If the reason for the breakdown of the iPhone 5S is a system failure, then it should turn on.

If the apple does not light up, as well as the blue screen, and you are sure that your smartphone is not dead, then simply try restarting the iPhone 5S by long pressing the button on the phone panel.

Advice! If both of the proposed options did not help you turn on the phone, and you are still wondering what to do next, then try repeating the same manipulations, despite the fact that the device is charging all this time.

Reason #2. Got wet or overheated

No matter how reliable the iPhone 5S is, if you drown it or, conversely, leave it in the sun for a long time, then most likely you will subsequently need battery replacements.

So, if the blue screen goes out and does not light up after falling into water, then proceed as follows:

disassemble the smartphone until you replace the battery and let all its components dry thoroughly.

Advice! ElementsiPhone 5S should dry naturally. There is no need to specifically put them in the sun or use a hairdryer, as this can only make the situation worse.

After drying, reassemble the smartphone and try to turn it on. If your gadget doesn’t turn on and you don’t know what to do next, then we can tell you with confidence that it’s a matter of repair. Take the phone to a repair shop as soon as possible.

Let's assume that your iPhone 5S is overheated, the temperature indicator built into the smartphone can tell you about this.

If the phone stops turning on and the apple does not burn, then the first thing you need to do is let it cool.

In other words, it's not charging, it's not connected to a computer, and it's in a cool place.

But what if after all the manipulations the iPhone 5S does not turn on and does not even charge? The answer is simple: take it to a workshop.

There is a high chance that your motherboard has failed, which means you will need to replace it.

Reason #3. Broken charger

You take care of your iPhone 5S like the apple of your eye, there was no fall, and it did not sink in the water. However, the gadget turned off and is no longer charging.

You also notice that the apple on the back of the phone is no longer lit, and the screen is no longer blue, but black. What to do in this case?

Check that the charger is working properly. It is quite possible that the gadget has stopped working and is not charging precisely for this reason. Tip: to make sure that it is the charging problem, try connecting another device with it.
Check that the connector on your iPhone 5S is working properly. If this is the reason, then most likely there is nothing you can do to fix it. Take the gadget to the nearest service center.
Check if there is electricity at home. No matter how strange it may sound, there are cases when a user thought that the iPhone 5S had stopped working for any reason, but it did not even occur to him that there was no electricity in the house or that the socket was simply broken.

Reason #4. Requires installation of new firmware

Consider a situation where you notice that your smartphone does not turn on, but the apple on the back does not light up and you know what to do about it.

Quite often the reason is that your smartphone needs new firmware.

Flashing as such does not bode well for your iPhone 5S.

Since the consequences of poorly done work may subsequently be irreversible if you turn to incompetent specialists.

There are also cases when it was easier for a user to change an iPhone than to install new firmware.

Before you decide to take one of these drastic measures, make sure that your smartphone has not overheated, has not fallen, or is not charging (while charging is working properly).

Also check how the apple on the back of the smartphone and the screen react when you try to turn it on.

If the display turns blue, then perhaps you can do without replacing the firmware.

And in the case when neither the apple nor the screen responds to being turned on, things are much worse and in any case you need to take the device to a service center.

Reason #5. Fake phone

Knowing how thriving the black market for counterfeits is these days, it is unlikely that anyone will be surprised to learn that he purchased a fake iPhone 5S even at the cost of a real one.

The quality of your purchase can only be guaranteed when you buy a product in a company store.

So, what to do if you discover that you have purchased a fake:

With or without receipts, try to return the purchase to the store. The sellers may not want to make a fuss and will return your money.
If for one reason or another they refuse to accept your phone, then take it to the service, where they can give you a paper stating that you purchased a counterfeit product that is being passed off as real. Afterwards, act according to the circumstances.
If you purchased a product in an online store and the seller made no claim that his product was real, then you are unlikely to be able to return the purchase or defend your rights.

Advice! If you discover that you have purchased a fake and are unable to return it, then try taking it to a service center for repairs. Still, you can also make calls using a fake phone.

iPhone 5 won't turn on: Solutions and causes of possible breakdown

Articles and Lifehacks

If you recently became the owner of a new phone, you may find that you do not understand how to turn on the iPhone 5s. In most cases, mobile phones of this brand must initially undergo activation, and only after that they can be turned on.

Instructions for activating the device

Before you turn on and activate your mobile phone, you should:

Make sure your phone battery is charged.
You must have a stable Internet connection on your computer.
You must have a special SIM card for iPhone.

Your further actions should consist of:

Turning on the device. To do this, click on the button located at the top of the phone. An image of an apple should appear on the screen.
Then a welcome message should appear. Swipe your finger across the screen from left to right.
Select your preferred language.
Choose a country.
Now you will need to connect your mobile phone to Wi-Fi or PC for further activation.
When choosing Wi-Fi, you must enter an access password. If there is no wireless connection, then you will need to connect your phone to your PC.

Turning on the mobile phone

To do this you need to do the following:

Connect your computer and phone via a USB cable.
An image of a wire leading to the iTunes inscription should appear on your mobile phone.
Now you will need to activate or deactivate location settings.
Then select "Set phone as new".
After this, agree to the User Agreement.
The iPhone 5s has the ability to set a fingerprint. You can do this now or later.
Now you need to press the Home button for 20 seconds.
If you have set up a fingerprint, you will be required to enter a password.
The next item says “Diagnostics,” which allows you to send news from the manufacturer to the phone owner.
After this, you should see a welcome message indicating that the inclusion and activation of the mobile phone was successful.

When purchasing in a store, sellers offer to turn on and run iPhone 5 for free. But for some reason I didn’t want this service.
The fact is that when other people do similar work for you, the question of how to set up iPhone 5 remains a mystery to you. Until, say, you buy a new gadget. But when else will this happen?!

You can turn on and set up iPhone 5 for the first time in three ways:

Recover from iCloud copy
Recover from iTunes copy
Set up like a new iPhone

But this is in theory, and in my version, when you purchase a device for the first time, and there is no data saved anywhere from previous similar gadgets, there is only the third option from among the above to set up iPhone 5, as they say, from scratch.

True, after such an initial launch, I then had to manually copy all the contacts from the address book of the old Nokia into the new iPhone. But that’s a completely different story, that was later.

1 We decisively turn on the new iPhone 5

Let's return to the initial launch of the iPhone 5. First, connect the charger to it and make sure that the device's battery is not completely discharged. Otherwise, you need to charge it first, preferably up to 100%. When you connect the iPhone to the charger, an image of the battery appears on the screen, and the numbers show the charge level - an intuitive picture that does not require much explanation.

And now, turn on the power, press the power button on the iPhone. The initial “Hello” prompt appears (Fig. 1).

Note. This is not the greeting that the baby elephant lost and did not convey to the monkey in the famous cartoon “Hello to the Monkey”:

“When I say hi, I’m sending you a good mood,” the boa explained.
And now Monkey has a “hello” and a good mood.
Oh, if only two more “hellos”…”

The iPhone has a completely normal hello, which means that the device is starting to prepare for the initial setup.

Rice. 1. The initial greeting is not in Russian after turning on the iPhone for the first time

The greeting “Hello” now appears again, but in understandable Russian (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. The initial greeting is in Russian after turning on the iPhone for the first time

Again, tap on the intuitive “Configure” inscription at the bottom of the screen (Fig. 2).

A warning appears that we do not have a SIM card in our iPhone (Fig. 3). Here we answer “OK”, and we don’t have any options for choosing an answer - this is the only possible option: tap on “OK” (Fig. 3).

Rice. 3. Warning about the need to insert a SIM card into the iPhone to connect to a cellular operator

The SIM card, which the iPhone initial setup program warns us about, is needed so that the iPhone can be immediately connected to the cellular operator’s network.

To be honest, I didn’t want to do this right away without understanding the initial settings of the device. Because you can rashly, without understanding it, inadvertently download something from the Internet during the settings, and then receive and pay a decent bill from the cellular operator. Why do this if, which can distribute, say, a laptop, and which in turn is connected to unlimited wired Internet - download as much as you want without restrictions!

2 Understanding languages and countries

After refusing to connect the iPhone to the cellular operator’s network, we select the language for communicating with our device. I suggest doing this in Russian, unless, of course, you want to learn another language, for example, Chinese, at the same time as working on the iPhone! Tap on the inscription “Russian” (Fig. 4)

Rice. 4. Selecting the language for communicating with iPhone

Next, in the device settings, we are asked to select the country and region where we are located. It would seem why, since we have already indicated the language in which we will work with the iPhone. But not everything is so simple and obvious. After all, you can, for example, be abroad of the Russian Federation, but at the same time consider Russian the preferred language for communicating with the iPhone. Therefore, selecting a language and selecting a country and region are separate device setup operations (Fig. 5).

Rice. 5. Selecting the country and region where we are located

In Fig. 5 it is clear that Russia is not in the selection menu. Of course not, because Russia is spelled with the letter “R”, and we see in Fig. 5 only countries starting with the first letter of the Russian alphabet, the letter “A”. Therefore, we swipe up the country and region selection menu until we reach countries starting with the letter “P”. There we will see Russia, and tap on the name of our Motherland.

Rice. 6. Selecting Russia as the country and region for initial iPhone setup

By the way, I wonder how the choice of country is made if you select Chinese as the language of communication with the iPhone. After all, this language does not have an alphabet, so it is unclear how the countries are located there, in what order?

As far as I know, the organizers of the 2008 Summer Olympics, which took place in China, faced the same problem. After all, on the opening day of the Olympics, countries must pass one after another in the strict sequence of the alphabet of the language of the country where the Olympic Games are taking place. But this is also a completely different story. We are returning to the initial settings of the iPhone 5.

And now a warning about the absence of a SIM card appears on the screen again (Fig. 7). And there is no Wi-Fi, that is, the device is not connected to the Internet, and therefore cannot be configured further. As they say, we have arrived...

Rice. 7. Repeated warning about the absence of a SIM card because there is no connection to Wi-Fi

3 Connecting iPhone to the Internet via Wi-Fi

We put the iPhone aside for a while without turning it off. And we start working on the Wi-Fi network - we try to start Wi-Fi distribution using a laptop. But here an unexpected problem arises. My laptop's Internet access point has a very complex and long password. This was done by the laptop manufacturer to protect the access point from unauthorized connection. And I did not change this password.

But entering this password manually is simply impossible. No one has ever been able to do this without making mistakes. The password can only be copied and transferred, say, inside a file, to a mobile gadget. But transferring any data to our brand new iPhone is not yet possible, because it has not yet been launched.

What to do? The idea of creating an access point using another gadget, using a smartphone, comes to the rescue. Fortunately, a smartphone can become an Internet access point for other devices. And here we can easily, let’s say for a while, make the password for accessing the Internet network simple and easy to enter using the iPhone’s virtual keyboard.

Of course, now we have to agree that we will use up the mobile traffic of a smartphone connected to a cellular operator. You could immediately insert a SIM card into your iPhone. But we will be consoled by the fact that we will still try to operate the device from the Wi-Fi network, and not directly from the SIM card of the cellular operator. Let's practice, if I may say so.

After a few minutes of waiting, the iPhone screen comes to life. And the first proposal to launch geolocation services appears (Fig. 11).

Rice. 11. We refuse the offer to launch a geolocation service

There is no need to start these services during the initial setup; it is never too late to do this later, when the iPhone is configured and starts working. Therefore, we will refuse to launch this service, for which we will tap on the inscription “disable geolocation services” at the very bottom of the screen (Fig. 11).

5 Create an iPhone password

The next step in the initial setup of the device is to create and enter a password to access the iPhone. From the moment this password is created, the device cannot be “reached” without this password. Therefore, you need to be responsible when creating a password. On the password entry screen you will be prompted to enter this password for the first time using a telephone keypad with numbers and Latin letters below them (Fig. 12).

Rice. 12. Entering the iPhone password

It is better to make the password only from numbers alone, since using letters will complicate the entry. If someone is confident in using a telephone keypad, they can also include Latin letters in their password. I repeat, I created a password of only 6 digits. And that’s a lot, it was possible to make a shorter password, for example, from 4 digits like a PIN code.

The password is then required to be re-entered to ensure that the password is entered correctly (Figure 13).

Rice. 13. Re-enter your iPhone password

The entered password now needs to be remembered or even written down! Remember forever, for the entire time you use your iPhone.

6 Setting up programs and data on the new iPhone

Now it is finally time to customize the software and data of our iPhone. You will be asked to configure them in several ways (Fig. 14).

Rice. 14. Selecting options for setting up iPhone programs and data

We choose the “Set up as a new iPhone” option, as we decided, since this is our first device and we don’t have any old copies in either iCloud or iTunes. And there is no need to transfer them from Android, which regularly distributes Wi-Fi to us, since neither programs nor contacts are needed from it, since this is not my personal device.

So, select the “Set up as a new iPhone” option, tap on this inscription and wait until all the necessary settings are completed. But this is not the end of our “torment.” We will continue to configure the iPhone and prepare it for work.

7 Opting out of setting up an account to access Apple services

What a strange thing! For some reason, developers consider their users to be very advanced. Once upon a time, at the dawn of personal computers, when setting up Windows, quite meaningful questions were asked, understandable to a Russian person, and at the very end of the setup a question suddenly arose about a certain page 866. Where does it come from, what is it? There are no explanations, but for the life of me, out of the blue, I need to configure it. And no reasonable explanations.

Then it becomes clear, after some time, that we are just talking about consent to the use of the Russian alphabet when working with Windows. Well, then why not just ask, do you want Russian letters on your computer, or do you not need them? It is absolutely clear that we must answer this question, of course, “Yes, yes, yes, and yes again!”

So for some reason, the developers of Apple devices are sure that everyone in the world knows what an account for accessing Apple services, or “Apple ID,” is. And in the next step of the initial setup of our gadget, they offer to set up this account (Fig. 15).

Rice. 15. Proposal to set up an account for access to Apple services, Apple services

The most remarkable thing is that all these settings can be done quite easily later, when our iPhone is working. When setting up the gadget, you don’t need to enter accounts or anything like that.

We need to start the device, and not try to configure a lot of things on it instead. Therefore, let’s refuse this “attractive” offer and tap on the inscription “Configure later in Settings” (Fig. 15 - here they even explain to us where we can make the missed settings)

Despite the possibility of refusing the Apple ID settings, our gadget will be “surprised” at this reckless decision of ours, in the opinion of the iPhone. And we will be asked again about refusing to use this option (Fig. 16).

Rice. 16. Repeated offer to set up an account to access Apple services

And here we firmly answer “no!”, for which we tap on the inscription “Do not use” (Fig. 16).

8 Acceptance of terms and conditions

Abroad, in countries of developed capitalism, actions related to legal rules and restrictions are very developed. Citizens of these countries are almost never too lazy to read a dozen pages of small, close, tooth-breaking text about what can and cannot be done with anything:

with a microwave: is it possible to dry a cat in it?
with a washing machine: can you wash dogs in it?
etc.

I agree that it is important to know this, to know exactly what is possible and what is not. Know what the manufacturer guarantees and what it doesn’t. But for some reason not yet in our country. Well, we don’t read these agreements! Perhaps someone is reading, I won’t talk about everyone. But the majority of our citizens are still not interested in legal subtleties.

I will not comment on this or define it. That's how it is, and that's it. But our iPhone is clearly not Russian. Therefore, before starting to work with it, we are asked to read the terms and conditions, and. If you do not agree with these provisions, the device will not operate. Therefore, we have no choice as such. Regardless of whether you have read or not read the terms and conditions.

Rice. 17. Acceptance of terms and conditions

9 Refusal from Siri

It would seem that this is happiness, we have accepted the terms and conditions - we can begin work. But it was not there. We will now be asked to enable Siri.

Siri is an interactive system that allows you to control your phone using your voice, first introduced in the iPhone 4S. This means that it is also on our fifth model. But, again, Siri can easily be turned on later, once our iPhone is working. Therefore, let us also refuse this invitation by tapping on the inscription “Turn on Siri later (Fig. 18).

Rice. 18. Refusal to turn on Siri

A reasonable question arises: why are we offered all this during the initial setup of our gadget, if all these settings can be done later. The answer looks quite simple - these are just marketing moves by the iPhone manufacturer or its partners developing software for its operation. No more.

The manufacturer believes that we are poorly informed about the capabilities of the device, and perhaps the manufacturer is right in this. But the manufacturer does not understand or does not want to understand that it is not so easy for us to master everything right away. Everything needs to be done in order. First set up iPhone 5, and only then explore all its limitless possibilities.

However, the manufacturer thinks differently, and thus we have to refuse various options again and again, leaving their launch and study for later.

10 Sending diagnostics

The hardware and software of mobile gadgets is constantly being improved. Manufacturers sometimes install new elements and new programs into these devices at their own peril and risk. And they do not always have time to test all this in the quiet conditions of their research laboratories.

This is due to competition. If you test for a long time and do not bring the product to the market, you may be late, and the market will be occupied by “foreign” products. So you have to take risks.

And since there is a risk, it means that there may be malfunctions in the operation of the device. To fix these failures, iPhone developers also “fix” special programs. These programs “catch failures”, somehow systematize them a little, and can send information about them to the manufacturer.

Modern manufacturers are very fond of the information they receive about all the failures that occur, as this allows them to constantly improve their hardware and software. Therefore, we are offered to set up either automatic sending of information about any failures in the iPhone to the manufacturer, or refuse this option.

Here you can advise both sending information and not sending it. It is better not to send to those who will use the iPhone on mobile networks and spend limited and rather expensive Internet traffic. You can send to those who will use the gadget more often, working via Wi-Fi and unlimited traffic.

Skeptics may argue that sending diagnostic messages over mobile networks does not consume significant amounts of money. Yes, of course it is. Until one day you receive an invoice from a mobile operator and see very unusual figures, say, the cost of the Internet when roaming abroad. After this, most often there is no desire to AUTOMATICALLY send or receive any unnecessary messages via the mobile Internet.

Therefore, in this case, we will refuse (just in case) from automatically sending diagnostic messages to Apple. To do this, tap on the “Do not send” inscription at the very bottom of the screen (Fig. 19).

Rice. 19. Opting out of automatic sending of diagnostic messages

11 The long-awaited start to work on iPhone 5

And now, after all our numerous consents and refusals to enable/disable certain options of the new iPhone, we get the opportunity to start working on it. The message “Welcome!” appears on the screen. and the “Get Started” invitation.

We tap on this “Get Started” inscription (Fig. 20)

Rice. 20. Initial settings are completed, we are asked to start working on the iPhone

That's what we've been waiting for! Patience and a little effort. We can start working on an iPhone, install a SIM card in it, enter data into the address book, make calls, send SMS, etc. The question “how to set up iPhone 5” was successfully resolved, hurray!

You'll see icons on the screen that let you do a lot of things on your iPhone. But that's a completely different story...

How to activate iPhone via iTunes

For those who are ready to activate their new iPhone through iTunes, we can advise you to do the following.

First, you need to download iTunes software (the latest version) from the official developer website. Download the application according to the installed software on your computer.

Install the application, connect the iPhone to your computer (a cable for this is included with the phone).

The phone must be fully charged, and the SIM card must be in its place (in the appropriate compartment).

Connect the Internet on your computer.

Accept the terms of the license agreement, then continue the device activation process. Now proceed to filling out the required data. Double check them and click on “Submit”. The program will then automatically send the entered information to Apple. This activates both the warranty and the phone.

It is better to buy iPhone mobile phones in Apple stores or in special electronics stores to avoid problems with further activation of the device. Avoid dubious retail outlets, do not buy a phone second-hand or over the Internet from little-known sites.

After some hard thinking and choosing a mobile phone, the purchase is finally made. In hand is a device made by Apple. How to turn on iPhone 5S for the first time? After turning on the new iPhone for the first time, you need to activate it. In addition, you should try to avoid the mistakes that are typical for beginners who have never held such mobile phones in their hands before. We'll talk about all the features of turning on and activating a new phone for the first time later.

Preparing the device for activation

Before turning on the iPhone 5S for the first time using the button, preparatory procedures are required. Then the process will go smoothly and common mistakes will be avoided.

For the first one, you will need to charge the phone to at least 20-30% of the battery capacity.
In addition, you should prepare a Nano SIM card in advance and have access to the Internet. Both a Wi-Fi connection and a cable connection to the network via a PC or laptop are suitable.
At the same time, the latest version of the iTunes application must be installed on your personal computer or laptop.

How to turn on iPhone 5S if it is completely dead? You need to connect it using the supplied cable to a PC or, using a special adapter included in the kit, connect the device to the electrical network. You also need to make sure that the Wi-Fi router is working and there is Internet access. Otherwise, you should make sure that your PC or laptop has network access. Now you need to download the latest version of iTunes software to your computer. This can be done from the official website of the application at itunes.apple.com. After completing the preparatory activities, you can begin to activate the new iPhone 5S.

iPhone activation steps

Turning on the button and activating the new phone in this case will be carried out using a SIM card. Therefore, the whole process will consist of the following stages:

Physically turning on the device;
Initial setup;
Connect to a PC or laptop and ;
First start.

It is important to emphasize that if the iPhone 5S is locked by the mobile operator in whose showroom the device was purchased, then for correct activation you will need a SIM card from this particular operator.

Turning on the device for the first time

In order to start the iPhone, you need to press and hold the power button, which is located at the top of the phone, for a while.

If this operation is performed correctly, a silver apple should appear on the device screen - the Apple logo.

Initial iPhone setup

Once your phone boots up, a welcome message will appear on the screen in different languages. After this, with a simple movement of your finger, you need to swipe from left to right along the bottom of the device screen.

Now you should select a language from the list proposed by the system. Then you need to select your country of residence and connect your device to a Wi-Fi connection. If it is not there, then you will need to connect your iPhone to your PC or laptop to complete the activation.

Connect your phone to your PC or laptop and continue activation

Now it is advisable to consider a more complex option for activating the device using a personal computer or laptop. For this operation you will need a USB cable that comes with every new iPhone. It must be connected first to the phone, and then the other part to the PC or laptop.

After this, the corresponding image will appear on the device screen. The first thing you need to do after connecting your phone to your computer is to activate or leave location services disabled. They are used for GPS, Google maps and other purposes. You can turn them on immediately, or you can do it later after the activation of the device is completed.

In the process of indicating your fingerprint, you will have to press and release the “Home” button on the device’s body many times, about 10-20. A hint on how to do this correctly will be displayed on the iPhone screen.

After setting up your fingerprint, you will also need to set up a password. This is due to the likely need to use this particular method to unlock access to the phone, for example, in the cold season, when the user will be wearing gloves. Or, for example, your hand will be dirty and it will become impossible to correctly remove a fingerprint. It is for these purposes that a combination of characters is used, which must be entered and remembered.

At the next stage, you will need to give or deny the system the right to analyze data on the iPhone and send a report to the manufacturer’s servers. Such diagnostics, as a rule, include error analysis and collection of some other information. This case shows an example of how to prevent an iPhone from sending information to Apple servers. To do this, you must select the “Don’t Send” option.

After this last procedure, the message “Welcome to iPhone” should appear on the iPhone screen! It means that the activation procedure is completed and the phone is ready to use. Inexperienced users of Apple mobile devices, as well as complete beginners, may encounter a number of common problems when turning on the iPhone 5S for the first time.

Problems when you turn on your iPhone for the first time and their solution

When you turn on the iPhone 5S for the first time, it is recommended to remove the protective film from the device case. Otherwise, this factory phone protection will constantly interfere with pressing the Home button. It is almost impossible to do this through it. With automatic 5S you will have to press the power button on top of the device all the time.

In addition, it should be taken into account that in the absence of a router and Wi-Fi connection to the Internet, a prerequisite is to have a computer connected to the World Wide Web.
