Chapter 3 : Data transfer

I’m already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo! and/
or Microsoft Exchange. How do I sync data?

If you are already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and/or Exchange to
manage your calendar and contacts, then all you need to do to sync data to
your phone is set up one or more of these accounts on your phone. The data
syncs automatically.

NOTE

Changes you make in your Yahoo! or Facebook account on the web show

up on your phone. There’s nothing you have to do. Contacts and calendar events
you add or change on your phone, however, do not automatically update your
Yahoo! or Facebook account on the web.

1

Open

Contacts

.

2

Enter your account credentials for your Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, or
Exchange account. See

Use Contacts for the first time

.

NOTE

You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that’s

done automatically using the credentials you entered in Contacts.

events, and tasks—iCal and Address Book on the Mac, or desktop Outlook

solution.

Download and install a third-party application (sold separately) that can
sync your desktop app to Google. Your desktop app syncs with your Google
account, and your phone also syncs with Google.
