It takes the MacBook Pro a few moments to start up. After it starts up, Setup Assistant
opens automatically.
If your MacBook Pro doesn’t turn on, see “If your MacBook Pro doesn’t turn on or start
Step 4:
Configure your MacBook Pro with Setup Assistant.
The first time you turn on your MacBook Pro, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant
helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your
MacBook Pro. If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically
transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac.
If you don’t intend to keep or use your other Mac, it’s best to deauthorize it from
playing music, videos, or audiobooks that you’ve purchased from the iTunes Store.
Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks you’ve purchased
from being played by someone else and frees up another authorization for use. For
information about deauthorizing, choose iTunes Help from the Help menu in iTunes.
If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up, you can
do it later using Migration Assistant. Go to the Applications folder, open Utilities, and
double-click Migration Assistant.
