Introduction

If you intend to intend to use Microsoft Outlook to synchronize your contacts and calendar, you should first ensure that you have the most current version of the Oracle Calendar Connector installed, click here to download newest version. After installing the latest Oracle Connector, continue with iTunes setup.

Apple iTunes is required to register and manage your iPhone. You must ensure that your copy of iTunes is at the current level, or install it if you don’t already have it on your computer. To ensure that you are at the current level, open it, and then select “Check for Updates” on the Help pull-down menu. To download and install iTunes, first close Outlook if it is open, then go to www.itunes.com.
