Starting today, users of Apple's iPhone and the iPod touch media player can configure their devices to talk to Davidson's e-mail servers and Wi-Fi networks using automated profiles. These profiles, when accessed via Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch, automatically provide the required settings and information to connect to the College's network services. All the user has to do is enter their username and password as requested.

The new profiles require that the user's device be upgraded to version 2.0.2 or higher of the iPhone/iPod software. For iPhone users, this is a free upgrade. For iPod touch owners, Apple charges a small fee for the upgrade. Apple provides instructions for updating your iPhone or iPod if your software is not up to date.

To get started installing Davidson's custom configuration profile on your fully updated iPhone or iPod touch, see these instructions. They will walk you through the process in step-by-step detail. Expect the setup to take less than five minutes.

For users who do not wish to upgrade, ITS still provides manual instructions for e-mail and Wi-Fi configuration.

As part of our campus sustainability efforts, we hope you will elect to use an eco-friendly online AT&T phone directory instead of the traditional paper-based phone books we distribute each fall. To access the online AT&T phone books, browse to www.realpageslive.com You may search on the main page using City, Community or Zip or you may click on the state of North Carolina and it will show you all the NC directories.

If you wish to have a hard copy of the phone books, please contact the ITS Help Desk and we will get the books out to you.

We are very pleased to announce the rollout of a new service called ITS Answers Online to extend and enhance campus technology support. The new service is a comprehensive database of answers to technology issues. This rich web-based resource allows searching on Davidson-specific solutions and a collection of over 150,000 solutions from vendors such as Adobe, Apple, Blackboard, Microsoft and SCT Banner. Starting on Monday, September 29th, you can access this new resource from the ITS website (http://www3.davidson.edu/cms/x1108.xml).

If you are unable to find the solution to your question, a link on the website will open an ITS Help Desk ticket for you to detail your inquiry. You will also be able to review your open and closed Help Desk tickets.

To learn more about this new service, please plan to attend an Information Session on Monday, September 29th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. in Alvarez 313 of the Knobloch Campus Center.
