Let’s get started

When you start your iMac for the rst time, Setup Assistant helps you get
going. Just follow a few simple steps to quickly connect to your Wi-Fi network,
transfer your stu from another Mac or a PC, and create a user account for
your iMac.

You can also log in with your Apple ID, which allows you to shop the
App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Online Store, and keep in touch using
Messages and FaceTime. And your Apple ID lets you access iCloud, which is
automatically set up in apps like Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. If you don’t
have an Apple ID, creating one in Setup Assistant is easy and free.

Let’s get moving

It’s easy to move les like documents, email, photos, music, and movies
to your new iMac from another Mac or a PC. The rst time you start your
new iMac, it walks you through the process step by step. All you have to
do is follow the onscreen instructions.

Using your Magic Mouse

Your Apple Magic Mouse comes with two AA batteries and is already paired
with your iMac using Bluetooth®, so as soon as you turn on the mouse you’ll
be ready to go. To adjust the tracking, clicking, and scrolling speed or to

menu, then click Mouse. Here are some tips on getting the most out of your
Magic Mouse.
