Let's get started

When you start your MacBook Pro for the first time, Setup Assistant launches

to get you going. Follow a few simple steps to connect to your Wi-Fi network,

transfer your stuff from another Mac or a PC, create a user account for your

Mac, and log in with your Apple ID.

Your Apple ID lets you download apps from the App Store, shop the iTunes

Store and the Apple Online Store, access iCloud, and communicate using

FaceTime. If you don't have an Apple ID, creating one is easy and free.

Multi-Touch gestures

Many functions on your MacBook Pro can be performed using simple

gestures on the trackpad. Here are some of the most popular Multi-Touch

gestures for the Mac.

Get to know your desktop

Welcome to your new home base. The desktop contains the Dock, where

icons of your frequently used apps appear. To customize your desktop and

other settings on your Mac, click the System Preferences icon in the Dock.

To access your files and folders, click the Finder icon. To check the status of

your wireless Internet connection, click the Wi-Fi status icon in the menu bar.

Your Mac automatically connects to the network you chose during setup.

Hello.

iCloud

iCloud stores your music, photos, mail, and more and wirelessly pushes

them to your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and even your PC. All without

docking or syncing. So when you buy a song on one device, it's automatically

downloaded to all your others. And with Photo Stream, your latest photos

appear everywhere you want to see them. To customize your iCloud settings,

open the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click iCloud. Sign

in with your Apple ID and choose the iCloud features you want to enable

or disable.
