Apple Macbook Retina 12 Early2015 Quick Start Guide

							Quick Start Guide 
						

							Welcome to your MacBook Let’s begin. Press the power button to start up your Mac, 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, photos, music, and more to your new Mac  
from another Mac or PC.
You can 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. 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.
