Launchpad

Launchpad is the home for all the apps on your Mac. Just click the Launchpad icon in the Dock and your open windows are replaced by a full-screen display of all your apps. Arrange apps any way you want,

group them together in folders, or delete them from your Mac. When you download an app from the Mac App Store, it automatically appears in Launchpad.

Mission Control

Mission Control gives you a bird’s-eye view of everything running on your Mac. Click the Mission Control icon in the Dock, and your desktop zooms out

to display all the open windows in every application, all your

full-screen apps, and Dashboard, the home of mini-apps called widgets. Click anything to zoom in on it. Think of Mission Control as the hub of your system—view everything and go anywhere with just a click.

Safari web browser

Click the icon in the Dock, and surf the web quickly and easily using Multi-Touch gestures. Scroll up or down with two fingers on the trackpad. Swipe right or left with two fingers to go back and forth

between pages. Double-tap with two fingers to magnify a page, then double-tap again to return to the original size. Or pinch to zoom in or out.

Mail

Mail lets you manage all your email accounts from a single, ad-free inbox, even when you’re not connected to the Internet. It works with most email standards— including POP3 and IMAP—and

popular email services like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and AOL Mail. You can also use Mail with the free me.com email account you get with iCloud. The first time you open Mail, Setup Assistant will help you get started.

iTunes

With iTunes, you can organize and play your digital music and videos on your Mac. And you can shop the iTunes Store for new music, movies,

TV shows, books, and more. iTunes is also where you’ll find the App Store for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.

iCal

Keep track of your busy schedule with iCal. You can create separate calendars—one for home, another for school, a third for work. See all your calendars in a single window or choose to see only the calendars you want. Create

and send invitations using contact info from your Address Book, then see who has responded. Use iCloud to update calendars on all your devices automatically or share calendars with other iCloud users.

FaceTime

FaceTime for Mac lets you talk face to face with anyone on an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac—from your Mac.* To set up FaceTime,

all you need is your Apple ID and email address. To start a video call, just click an entry in your Address Book contacts list.

iPhoto

iPhoto is the best way to organize, browse, edit, and share your photos on your Mac. You can organize your photo library by Faces, Places, and Events. To send photos by email or publish them to Facebook,

just select the photo and click Share in the bottom right of your screen. Or click Create to turn your favorite shots into photo books, calendars, and cards.

iMovie

iMovie puts all your video clips in one place, and gives you all the editing tools, themes, and special effects you need to quickly turn them into something special. You can make great-looking movies or

even Hollywood-style movie trailers with just a few clicks. And iMovie lets you import video from most popular digital video cameras, your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or the FaceTime camera on your Mac.

Mac App Store

The Mac App Store is the best way to find and download thousands of apps for your Mac, from games and social networking to productivity apps and more. New apps install in one step to Launchpad. You can install apps on every Mac

authorized for your personal use and even download them again. The Mac App Store lets you know when app updates are available, so you always have the latest versions. Open the Mac App Store by clicking its icon in the Dock.
