Hi. Welcome to device tech tip Channel. Another unbox and setup video, but this
time, I'm setting up on MacBook Air by Apple. If you decided to switch over from
Windows PC to Apple MacBook and don't know how to set it up. My video might be
a good guide.
As soon as you turn on your Mac, it asks you for your language selection. I am
setting up in Canada, so select English as a language and click "Next."
Next is a region select. Please choose your country where you purchased your
MacBook. Click "continue."
The next one is Wi-Fi network setup. I do the setting later,
so without choosing a network, I click "continue." A small pop-up on the top will
ask you if you're okay without Wi-Fi setup. I click "continue." If you really
want to set up here, you need to know your Wi-Fi ID and password. You should
have a modem from your internet provider looks like this and has a label with
those codes. You can choose from two different frequency bands. It usually
ends with 2.4 G or 5g or it starts with a provider's ID such as Telus or Shaw.
Both of these ID shares the same password. Wi-Fi key listed on the
label is the password you're looking for. Enter those and you should be connected.
In the next screen, it is asking for your permission to send personal data over
the Internet. Unfortunately, you cannot avoid it.
Click "continue." This MacBook Air is a brand new set up and I am a Windows user,
so "don't transfer any information now" is my choice. Click "continue." Now is a term
and conditions for using Mac OS and Apple products. If you want to read the detail of
this, you can click on "more...". I usually don't read the full content, so
click "Agree." A pop-up will show up on the top again and asks if you read the
agreement. Click on "Agree." MacBook Air requires full name account name and
password. You can change your little icon picture by clicking edit. It will give
you choices from the list.
Choose the one you like and click "Save." You have to set up password for Apple
products and cannot skip. After filling your info, click "continue." Another
agreement from Apple asking for data collection on your apps. Click "continue."
On analytical agreement, I just click "continue" without adding check mark on
"share crash and usage data."
Next is the screen time setup. I click "setup later."
In case you don't know what Siri is. It is the Apples AI assistant
installed in almost all their product. I
I continue and click "Setup Siri later."
Click "Not Now" and continue.
Touch ID is a fingerprint recognition device attached to the power button. You
can add it so that you'll be the only person to override a password in case
you forget. Click "continue" and choose "setup touch ID later." Pop-up will ask you
are you sure you don't want to setup? By clicking "continue," you can skip touch ID.
The setup now asked you about the color theme on your desktop. I stay with light
and click "continue."
True tone display is the ambient color control. If you're using video or photo
editing software on MacBook, this setting is essential. Click "continue." You're
almost done. Now you're ready to use your MacBook. If you liked my setup video,

up. Thanks for watching.
