Step 4: Configure Your MacBook Pro with Setup Assistant
The first time you turn on your computer, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps
you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your
computer.
If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files,
applications, and other information from your other Mac to your new MacBook Pro.
Nothing happens when you press the power (®
) button.
Â
The battery might be drained. Make sure that you plugged the power adapter firmly
into both the computer and a power source. The power adapter plug should light
when you plug it into the computer.
Â
If the computer still doesn’t start up, see “Problems That Prevent You from Using
Your Computer” on page 92.
You see a picture of a disk or a folder with a blinking question mark.
This icon usually means that the computer can’t find the system software on the hard
disk or any disks attached to the computer. Disconnect all external peripherals and try
restarting. Hold down the power (®
) button for 8 to 10 seconds until the computer
turns off. Then press the power button again. If the problem persists, you might need
to reinstall the system software. See “Reinstalling the Software That Came with Your
Computer” on page 97.
