The Dock

The Dock, at the bottom of the screen, is a convenient place to keep the apps and documents
you use frequently.

Go to the Finder.

Open System Preferences.

Apps go on the left side of the line;

files and folders go on the right.

Open an app or file. Click its icon in the Dock.
Add an item to the Dock. Drag the item and drop it where you want it. Place apps to the left of
the line in the Dock, and files or folders to the right.
Remove an item from the Dock. Drag it out of the Dock until you see the word Remove. The
item isn’t removed from your MacBook Pro—just from the Dock.
See all open windows in an app. Force click an app in the Dock to access Exposé and view all
the app’s open windows.

Tip: You can make the Dock larger or smaller, add or remove items, move it to the left or right

side of the screen, or even set it to hide when you’re not using it. To change how the Dock looks,
click the System Preferences icon in the Dock, or choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
Then click Dock.

System Preferences

System Preferences is where you personalize your MacBook Pro settings. For example, use
Energy Saver preferences to change sleep settings. Or use Desktop & Screen Saver preferences
to add a desktop picture or choose a screen saver.
Customize your MacBook Pro. Click the System Preferences icon in the Dock, or choose
Apple menu > System Preferences. Then click the type of preference you want to set.
