Let’s get started

you get going. Just follow a few simple steps to quickly connect to your Wi-Fi
network, transfer your stu from another Mac or a PC, and create a user
account for your Mac.
You’ll also be able to log in with your Apple ID, so you can download apps

iCloud, and make video calls with FaceTime. If you don’t have an Apple ID,
creating one is easy and free.
Multi-Touch gestures
You can do a lot of things on your MacBook Air using simple gestures on the
trackpad. Here are some of the most popular ones.

The desktop is where you can nd everything and do anything on your Mac.

It’s also where you can open System Preferences, which lets you customize
your desktop and other settings on your Mac. Click the Finder icon to quickly
get to all your les and folders.
The menu bar at the top has lots of useful information about your Mac.
To check the status of your wireless Internet connection, click the Wi-Fi icon.

iCloud
iCloud stores your music, photos, mail, and more. And it wirelessly pushes
them to your Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and even your PC. All without
docking or syncing. So when you buy a song on one device, it’s automatically
downloaded to all your others. And with Photo Stream, your latest photos
appear everywhere you want to see them. To customize your iCloud settings,
open the Apple menu, select System Preferences, and click iCloud. Then sign
in with your Apple ID and choose the iCloud features you want to use.
