Apple MacBook Air - Manual (Page 13)

Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go 13
Step 3: Configure your MacBook Air with Setup Assistant
The first time you turn on your MacBook Air, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant
helps you enter your Internet information and set up a user account on your
MacBook Air. You can also migrate information from another Mac during setup.
Note: If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up
your MacBook Air, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Go to the Applications
folder, open Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant.
To set up your MacBook Air:
1 In the Setup Assistant, follow the onscreen instructions until you get to the “Do You
Already Own a Mac?” screen.
2 Do a basic setup or a setup with migration:
 To do a basic setup, select “Do not transfer my information now” and click Continue.
Follow the remaining prompts to select your wireless network, set up an account,
and exit Setup Assistant.
 To do a setup with migration, first set up another Mac that has an optical disc drive
to partner with (see “Setting Up DVD or CD Sharing” on page 15). Then go to page 16,
“Migrating Information to Your MacBook Air.”
Note: If you’ve already started Setup Assistant on your MacBook Air, you can leave it
mid-process without quitting, move to the other computer to install the DVD or CD
Sharing Setup software, and then return to your MacBook Air to complete the setup.
