							Let’s get startedPress the power button to start up your iMac, and Setup Assistant guides 
you through a few simple steps to get you up and running. It walks you 
through connecting to your Wi-Fi network and creating a user account. And 
it can transfer your documents, email, photos, music, and movies to your new 
Mac from another Mac or PC.
Sign in with your Apple ID in Setup Assistant. This sets up your account in 
the Mac App Store and the iTunes Store, and in apps like Messages and 
FaceTime, so they’re ready the first time you open them. It also sets up 
iCloud, so apps such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Safari have all your 
latest information. If you don’t have an Apple ID, create one in Setup 
Assistant.

it’s instantly available on all the others. With iCloud Drive, you can store your

you can keep track of all your conversations. With Instant Hotspot, your  
Mac can automatically use the personal hotspot on your iPhone. And with

you left off on your iOS device—and vice versa.
