Learning materials and other information about the computer

Your PowerBook comes with this user’s manual, which provides the information you need for setting up the computer, caring for it, and finding solutions to problems with the hardware. Depending on the PowerBook model you have, other manuals may be included as well.

The majority of instructions for using your PowerBook are online—in the Mac OS Tutorial, which introduces new users to the computer, and Mac OS Guide, which offers step-by-step instructions for the primary tasks you perform with the computer.
