Hello.

Quick Start Guide

Welcome to your new MacBook Pro. Let us show you around.

This guide shows you what’s on your Mac, helps you set it up, and gets you up and running with tips for the apps you’ll use every day.

Your battery is charged and ready to go, so you can start using your Mac right out of the box. When you do recharge the battery, you’ll know it’s fully charged when the orange light on your power connector turns green.

Let’s get started

Press the power button to start up your MacBook Pro, 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, email, photos, music, and movies to your new Mac from another Mac or PC.

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, so they’re ready the first time you open them. It also sets up iCloud, so apps such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Safari have all your latest information. If you don’t have an Apple ID, create one in Setup Assistant.
