How to Import AOL Contacts to an iPhone


Tap the “Settings” icon on the iPhone’s home screen to launch the Settings app.
Scroll down and tap “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” to load the configuration screen for all mail, contacts and calendars accounts. On this screen is a list of all the accounts currently set up for use on your iPhone.

Input your server and account settings in the provided fields. Enter “carddav.aol.com” in the Server field. Enter your full AOL email address in the User Name field. Be sure to include the full address, including “@aol.com.” Enter your AOL password in the Password field. Enter an identifying name for this account in the Description field. You might, if you’re feeling wildly creative, call it “AOL Contacts.”
Tap “Next” to save the changes and import the contacts from your AOL account. At this point, your iPhone tests that it can send and receive from the AOL server using the login information you provided.

Turn on your iPhone and tap the 'App Store' icon on the home screen.
Tap the 'Search' icon at the bottom of the screen and type 'Kindle' into the search field. Tap the Kindle app that appears in the search results. It will likely be the first app on the list.

If you don't have one-click ordering set up, set it up by adding a credit card and billing information. You only need to do this one time. When you select a book, choose to sync it with your iPhone; if you have more than one iPhone or Kindle attached to your account, choose the device from a drop-down menu that allows you to designate where to send the book.
Return to the iPhone and open the Kindle app by tapping the 'Kindle' icon on the home screen. The book you just ordered from Amazon on your computer downloads to the iPhone app immediately.
Tap the name of the book from the list in the Kindle app. The book opens at the beginning or where you left off when you last read it. Move from page to page by swiping your finger across the screen or tapping the edge of the page.
