Use the MacBook trackpad to select and move items on the screen, just as you use a mouse with a desktop computer.

ÂTo move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide one finger across the trackpad. Press the trackpad button to select, click, or double-click items.

ÂDrag two fingers on the trackpad to scroll.

For more information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “trackpad.”

Step 4: Configure your MacBook with Setup Assistant.

The first time you turn on your MacBook, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your MacBook. 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, in iTunes, open Help > iTunes Help.

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.
