Your MacBook is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right
away. If you have never used a MacBook or are new to Mac computers, read this
chapter for help getting started.
Important:
Read all the installation instructions (and the safety information starting on
page 67) carefully before you first use your computer.
If you’re an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started.
Make sure you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your MacBook,” to find
out about the new features of this MacBook.
Many answers to questions can be found on your computer in Mac Help. For
information about using Mac Help, see “Getting Answers” on page 31. Apple may
release new versions and updates to its system software, so the images shown in this
book may be slightly different from what you see onscreen.

Setting Up Your MacBook
Your MacBook is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right
away. The following pages take you through the setup process, including these tasks:
Â
Plugging in the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter
Â
Connecting cables and accessing a network
Â
Turning on your MacBook and using the trackpad
Â
Configuring a user account and other settings using Setup Assistant
Â
Setting up the Mac OS X desktop and preferences
Important:

Step 1: Plug in the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the MacBook
and charge the battery.
Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the electrical
prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position. Insert the
AC plug of your power adapter into a power outlet and the MagSafe connector into
the MagSafe power port. As the MagSafe connector gets close to the port, you’ll
feel a magnetic pull drawing it in.

To extend the reach of your power adapter, replace the AC plug with the AC power
cord. Pull the AC plug up to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the included
AC power cord to the adapter, making sure it’s seated firmly.
When disconnecting the power adapter from an outlet or from the computer, pull the
plug, not the cord.
10 Chapter 1
Ready, Set Up, Go
When you connect the power adapter to your MacBook, an indicator light on the
MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates that the battery is
charging. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged. If you don’t see a
light, make sure the connector is seated properly and the power adapter is plugged in.
Step 2: Connect to a wireless or wired network.
Â
To use a wireless network with the built-in AirPort Extreme technology, make sure
the wireless base station is turned on and that you know the name of the network.
After you turn on your MacBook, Setup Assistant guides you through the connection
process. For troubleshooting tips, see page 60.
Â
To use a wired connection, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your MacBook
and the other end to a cable modem, DSL modem, or network.

It takes the computer a few moments to start up. After it starts up, Setup Assistant

Step 4: Configure your MacBook with Setup Assistant.
The first time you turn on your MacBook, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant
helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on
your MacBook. If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically
transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac using an
Ethernet or wireless connection. See the next section, “Migrating Information to Your
MacBook,” for more information.
If you don’t intend to keep or use your other Mac, it’s best to deauthorize it from
playing music, videos, or audiobooks that you’ve purchased from the iTunes Store.
Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks you’ve
purchased from being played by someone else and frees up another authorization
for use. For information about deauthorizing, in iTunes, open Help > iTunes Help.

Migrating Information to Your MacBook
You can follow the prompts in Setup Assistant to migrate existing user accounts, files,
applications, and other information from another Mac computer. You can do this with
one of the following methods:
Â
Using an Ethernet cable connected directly to both computers, or connecting both
computers to the same network
Â
Wirelessly—directly between the computers, or with both computers on the same
wireless network
Before migrating, use Software Update on your other Mac to ensure you have either
Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X v10.5.6 (or later).
You can choose the items (user accounts, documents, movies, music, photos, and so
on) that you want to migrate to your MacBook.
Important:
If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your
computer, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. If the connection is terminated
during migration, you can resume the migration at a later time using Migration
Assistant on your MacBook and your other Mac. Go to the Applications folder, open
Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant.

Don’t use the other Mac for anything else until the migration is complete.
