Quick Start Guide
Welcome to your MacBook Air
Let’s begin. Press the power button to start up your Mac, and Setup Assistant guides you through a few simple steps to get you up and running. It walks you through connecting to your Wi-Fi network and creating a user account. And it can transfer your documents, photos, music, and more to your new Mac from another Mac or PC.
You can sign in with your Apple ID in Setup Assistant. This sets up your
account in the Mac App Store and the iTunes Store, and in apps like Messages
and FaceTime. It also sets up iCloud, so apps such as Mail, Contacts,
Calendar, and Safari all have your latest information. If you don’t have an
Apple ID, you can create one in Setup Assistant.

Your Mac desktop lets you find everything and do anything. Keep the apps you

The menu bar at the top provides useful information about your Mac. To check
the status of your wireless Internet connection, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Spotlight lets you find anything on your Mac or look up information online. It
can also open your favorite apps.
