Welcome to your MacBook Pro

Let’s begin. MacBook Pro will automatically start up when you lift the lid. Setup

Assistant will then guide you through a few simple steps to get you up and running.

It will walk you through connecting to your Wi-Fi network, creating a user account,

setting up Touch ID and Apple Pay, and enabling Siri. It can also transfer your

documents, photos, music, and more to your new MacBook Pro from another Mac

or PC.

You can sign in with your Apple ID in Setup Assistant. This sets up your account

in the App Store and the iTunes Store, and in apps like Messages and FaceTime.

It also sets up iCloud, so apps such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Safari all

have your latest information. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one in

Setup Assistant.
