Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a MacBook Air. Your MacBook Air is streamlined for
portability and a completely wireless experience. Read this chapter for help getting
started setting up and using your MacBook Air.
 If you know you won’t be migrating information from another Mac, and you’d like to
get started using your MacBook Air right away, you can follow the Setup Assistant to
set up your MacBook Air quickly.
 If you want to migrate information from another Mac or get content from DVDs or
CDs onto your MacBook Air you can set up one or more Mac or Windows computers
to partner with your MacBook Air. Then follow the Setup Assistant and use DVD or
CD Sharing to use your MacBook Air to get the information from the other computer.
Important: Read all the installation instructions (and the safety information starting on
page52)carefullybeforeyourstuseyourcomputer.
Many answers to questions can be found on your computer in Mac Help. For
