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:

1Configure 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.
