AirDrop and Bluetooth turned on and are within 30 feet (9 meters) of each other.
To learn more about AirDrop, go to Mac Help (see Mac Help).
AirPrint
You can use AirPrint to print wirelessly to:

AirPlay
Show whatever’s on your MacBook Pro on the big screen using AirPlay Mirroring. Connect
your HDTV to Apple TV, and make sure the Apple TV is on the same Wi-Fi network as your
MacBook Pro to mirror the MacBook Pro screen on your TV screen or use the HDTV as a second
display. You can also play web videos directly on your HDTV without showing what’s on your
desktop—handy when you want to play a movie but keep your work private.
Mirror your desktop using AirPlay Mirroring. Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar, then
choose your Apple TV. When an AirPlay display is active, the icon turns blue.
In some cases, you can use an AirPlay display even if your MacBook Pro isn’t on the same Wi-Fi
network as Apple TV (called peer-to-peer AirPlay). To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, you need an
Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later.
Play web videos without showing your desktop. When you nd a web video with an AirPlay
icon , click the icon, then select your Apple TV.
Tip: If the image doesn’t t your HDTV screen when you mirror the screen, adjust the desktop
size for the best picture. Click the AirPlay icon , then choose an option under “Match Desktop
Size To.”
Apple TV is sold separately at apple.com or your local Apple Store.
To learn more about AirPlay, go to Mac Help (see Mac Help). To learn more about using a second
display with your MacBook Pro, see Use an external display.
Migrate your data
It’s easy to move your les and settings from another Mac or PC to your MacBook Pro. You can
transfer information from an old computer to your MacBook Pro wirelessly, from a Time Machine
or other USB storage device, or with an Ethernet cable and adapters.
Tip: For best results, make sure your MacBook Pro is running the latest version of macOS. To
check for software updates, click the App Store icon in the Dock, then click Updates in the
App Store toolbar.

Transfer wirelessly. To transfer the data when you rst set up your MacBook Pro, use Setup
Assistant. To transfer data later, you can use Migration Assistant. Open a Finder window, go to
Applications > Utilities, then double-click Migration Assistant to do a wireless migration. Follow
the onscreen instructions.
Tip: You’ll get best results if you transfer the information wirelessly from your old computer
to your MacBook Pro. Make sure both computers are connected to the same network. Keep both
computers near each other throughout the migration process.
If you used Time Machine to back up your les from another Mac to a storage device (such
as an AirPort Time Capsule or an external disk), you can copy the les from the device to your
MacBook Pro. For more information about Time Machine backups, see Back up and restore.
Copy les from a USB storage device. Connect the AirPort Time Capsule or other storage device
to your MacBook Pro using an adapter, such as the USB-C to USB Adapter (see Accessories). Then
manually drag les to your MacBook Pro.
Transfer using Ethernet. To migrate over Ethernet, use a USB-C to Ethernet adapter (available
separately) to connect the Ethernet cable to your MacBook Pro. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable to your other computer (you might need another adapter, if your computer
doesn’t have an Ethernet port). Before migrating your data using Ethernet, make sure your
MacBook battery is fully charged.
For complete details about all the migration methods, see the Apple Support article
support.apple.com/HT204754. {REVIEWERS: Will the title of this article be updated to include

Set options to:
•Optimize iCloud Storage:
•Store les in iCloud, where they stay secure and available. You can turn on iCloud Drive to

•Turn on iCloud Photo Library to store items from the Photos app in iCloud.
Even though your les are stored in the cloud, you can get access to them right where you left
them on your Mac. For more information, see Access your content anywhere with iCloud.
•Optimize Storage: Remove iTunes movies and TV shows you’ve watched, and keep only recent
email attachments.
•Erase Trash Automatically: Automatically erase items that have been in the Trash for more than
30 days.
•Reduce Clutter: Review documents and delete older ones stored on your MacBook Pro.
macOS Sierra also prevents you from downloading the same le twice from Safari, alerts you to
remove installer software when you nish installing a new app, clears logs and caches that are
safe to remove when you’re low on storage, and more, to help you save space as you work.
Back up and restore
To keep your les safe, it’s important to back up your MacBook Pro regularly. The easiest way to
back up is to use Time Machine—which is built into your MacBook Pro—with a wireless AirPort
Time Capsule (sold separately), or an external storage device connected to your MacBook Pro.
Files stored in iCloud Drive and photos in iCloud Photo Library are automatically backed up to
iCloud and don’t need to be part of your Time Machine or other backup.

Set up Time Machine. Make sure your MacBook Pro is on the same Wi-Fi network as your
AirPort Time Capsule, or connect your AirPort Time Capsule or external storage device to your
MacBook Pro. Click the System Preferences icon in the Dock, click Time Machine, then click On.
Select the drive you want to use for backup, and you’re all set.
Time Machine:
•Automatically backs up everything on your MacBook Pro, including system les, apps,
accounts, preferences, music, photos, movies, and documents.
•Remembers how everything looked on any given day, so you can revisit your MacBook Pro as
it appeared in the past or retrieve an older version of a document.
•Lets you restore your MacBook Pro from a Time Machine backup. So if anything happens to
your MacBook Pro, your les and settings are safe and sound.
To learn more about backing up and restoring your MacBook Pro, go to Mac Help (see Mac Help)
and search for “Time Machine,” “external storage device,” “backup,” or “restore.” To learn more
about AirPort Time Capsule, go to www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule.
