Let’s get started

When you start your MacBook Air for the rst time, Setup Assistant will help

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 Mac.

You’ll also be able to log in with your Apple ID. This will allow you to shop

the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Online Store. It will let you keep in

touch using Messages and FaceTime. And it will let you access iCloud, which

is automatically set up on your Mac in apps like Mail, Contacts, and Calendar.

If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one in Setup Assistant.

Multi-Touch gestures

You can do a lot of things on your MacBook Air using simple gestures

on the trackpad. Here are some of the most popular ones.

Get to know your desktop

The desktop is where you can nd everything and do anything on your Mac.

The Dock at the bottom of the screen is a handy place to keep the apps you

customize your desktop and other settings on your Mac. Click the Finder

icon to quickly get to all your les and folders.

The menu bar at the top has lots of useful information about your Mac.

To check the status of your wireless Internet connection, click the Wi-Fi icon.
