Your iMac is designed so that you can easily set it up and start using it right away. If youve never used an iMac or are new to Mac computers, read this chapter for instructions about getting started. Important: Read all the setup instructions in this chapter and the safety information starting on page 62 before you plug your iMac into a power outlet. If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure you look over the information in Chapter 2, "Life with Your iMac" to find out about the new features of your iMac. Answers to many questions can be found on your iMac in Mac Help. For information about Mac Help, see “Getting Answers” on page 32. Remove any protective film from the outside of your iMac before you set it up.

Chapter 1 Ready, Set Up, Go

What's in the Box Your iMac comes with an Apple Wireless Keyboard, a wireless Apple Magic Mouse, and an AC power cord. If you ordered an Apple Remote, it also in the box.

Setting Up Your iMac Follow these steps to set up your iMac. Wait until Step 4 to turn on your iMac. Step 1: Pass the power cord through the hole in the stand, plug it into the power port on the back of your iMac, and then plug the cord into a power outlet. 10 Chapter1 Ready, Set Up, Go

Step 2: To access the Internet or a network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your iMac. Connect the other end to a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a network. Your iMac comes with AirPort (802.11 n) technology for wireless networking For information about setting up a wireless connection, choose Help > Mac Help and search for“AirPort." To use à dial-up connection, you need an external USB modem. Plug the modem into a USB port on your iMac, and then use a phone cord to connect the modem to a phone jack.

Step 3: Turn on your wireless keyboard and mouse. Press the power button on the right side of your Apple Wireless Keyboard and slide the switch on the bottom of your Apple Magic Mouse to turn them on. Your wireless keyboard and mouse come with AA batteries installed, and they're already paired with your iMac. Pairing allows them to communicate wirelessly with your iMac. Power button Indicator light Indicator light Onvoff switch When you first turn on your keyboard or mouse, the indicator light glows steadily for 5 seconds, indicating the batteries are good! If your keyboard or mouse doesn't turn on, make sure batteries are installed properly (see page 47). The indicator light blinks until you turn on your iMac and a connection is established!

Step 5: Use Setup Assistant to configure your iMac. The first time you turn on your iMac, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your iMac. K you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac to your new iMac. If you don't intend to keep or use your other Mac, it's best to deauthorize it from playing music, videos, or audiobooks that you've purchased from the iTunes Store. Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks youve purchased from being played by someone else and frees up another authorization for use. For information about deauthorizing, choose iTunes Help from the Help menu in iTunes. If you don't use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Go to the Applications folder, open Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant. After youfre set up, check for updated software. Choose Apple (#) > Software Update from the menu bar and follow the onscreen instructions. Step 6: Customize your desktop and set your preferences. You can easily make your desktop look the way you want using System Preferences, your command center for most settings on your iMac. Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar, or click the System Preferences icon in the Dock. For more information, open Mac Help and search for "System Preferences” or for the specific preference you want to change.

An adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height ofthe chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet are flat on the floor. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturers instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly. You might have to raise your chair so that your forearms and hands are at the proper angle to the keyboard. fthis makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, use a footrest with adjustable height and tit to make up for any gap between the floor and your feet. Or you can lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest, Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that lower than the regular work surface.
