Migrating Information to Your MacBook Air
You can migrate existing user accounts, files, applications, and other information from
another Mac computer.
To migrate information to your MacBook Air:
1 Configure the other Mac (see page 15), and then make sure that it is turned on and
that it is on the same wired or wireless network as your MacBook Air.
Check the AirPort (Z ) status icon in the menu bar at the top of the other Mac screen
to see what wireless network you’re connected to. Choose the same network for your
MacBook Air during setup.
2 On your MacBook Air, follow the Setup Assistant onscreen instructions until you get to
the “Do You Already Own a Mac?” screen. Select “from another Mac” as the source of
the information you want to transfer. On the next screen, choose your wireless
network, and then click Continue.
