Set Up

Create a user account

Remember your
name and password
exactly as you
type it, including
capitalization.

If you are installing Mac OS X for the first time, follow the onscreen
instructions to set up Mac OS X after installation finishes. When you
set up Mac OS X, you create a user account. Be sure to remember the
name and password you give this user account because you will use
it in the future.

Set up your connection information

Set up your
connection
information now.
It’s easy and you
can connect
to the Internet
right away.

It’s best to set up your network and Internet connections when you set
up Mac OS X. If you don’t have an Internet service provider (ISP) or .Mac
membership, you can sign up for one when you set up Mac OS X.

If your computer is on a local network or you want to use an
existing ISP and .Mac membership, you need to have your current setup
information handy. To learn more, see “Internet Setup Information,”
later in this book.

Chat live

iChat instant messages let you chat live with friends on your network or
your AOL and Mac.com buddies on the Internet. To start a chat, select
each person in your Buddy List that you want to join the chat, then
choose Invite To Chat from the Buddies menu. After you start a chat, you
can add more friends in the same way.

Stop the junk

Mail shows junk email using a color and an icon. To train Mail to identify
junk email correctly, select email it incorrectly identifies as junk and click
Not Junk. Select junk email it misses and click Junk. When Mail identifies
your junk email correctly, you can have Mail automatically move junk
email out of your inbox.

This message is marked as junk email.
