							Let’s get started
Press the power button to start up your MacBook Pro, 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.
