Your MacBook is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. If you have never used a MacBook or are new to Macintosh computers, read this chapter for help getting started. If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Life with Your MacBook,” to find out about the new features of this MacBook. Many answers to questions can be found on your computer in Mac Help. For information about getting Mac Help, see “Getting Answers” on page 29. Apple may release new versions and updates to its system software, so the images shown in this book may be slightly different from what you see onscreen. When you first connect the power adapter to your MacBook, an indicator light on the MagSafe connector starts to glow. An amber light indicates that the battery is charging. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged. If you don’t see a light, make sure the connector is seated properly and the power adapter is plugged in. The first time you turn on your MacBook, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your MacBook. If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac using an Ethernet or a wireless connection.
