Initial on mac

[Music] hey guys in today's video we're gonna be setting up your brand new iMac the first thing that we need to do is hook it up some electricity so here's your power cable that came with it that's gonna go right here so we're gonna take this end and plug it in through here and there we go this we're just gonna put this in some electricity so want to show you here on the back is everything that you guys need so that's your internet USB C USB and then here we have an SD card insert and for your headphones right here on the other side we have our power button so when we're gonna turn on our iMac we took the press the power button right here on the left hand side of your mat so in order to turn on your Mac here on the backside of your Mac you will see a button that's on this side the other side we have all those connections it's right here just gonna press and then it's gonna turn on now before we turn on your Mac you do have to turn on your key where right here so on the top you're gonna see this slider and to turn on your keyboard all you guys have to do is like this and it's supposed to be green so once you guys see that green this has been turned on to charge it up oh yes just plug this in this cable that came which is the same thing as an I think it where I pad cable into your keyboard and then this end to your Mac to turn on your trackpad or Mouse it's the same thing we will have a slider right here we're just going to slide that and you guys will see that it's screen once it's green means that it's turned on in you're good to go in order to charge this right here all you guys need is the same thing your cable so your cable it's very similar actually it's the same one as the one that you guys would get an iPhone iPad so you just plug it in right here this end will go to your Mac and you guys can fully charge it up however right now the years were just getting started with your Mac there's no need to charge they have sufficient charge in order to get started now we're gonna go ahead and turn it on remember that your buttons on this side on the left hand side just press it and then just wait for an Apple logo to load up now as your Apple logo just put it up is the first screen you're gonna select so we're gonna go ahead and select English as a first language up there or you guys can choose any other language for this matter so as long as that selected we're good to go we can just press Enter or return key on our keyboard then we're gonna see this screen where it says welcome to select your country can be any country we're gonna select continue and now we have to get up to our Wi-Fi network so I'm gonna look for my current Wi-Fi network I wanted to be YouTube tech and design perfect when I put in my passcode it's very important that you guys have internet through the setup you will need an upright D in order for your Mac to be registered under your name we're just gonna hit on continue and this is the most important part for most of you now some of you may have a Mac from before so the best way to transfer information is using time machine so it's a very first option up here Time Machine it's just using an external hard drive I do have a separate video showing you guys how to transfer your old information from your other iMac into this new iMac or even a macbook pro into this new iMac don't want transfer anything or you're brand new try Mac you would choose don't transfer any information so we're just gonna do that and here comes the part about your Apple ID it's very important that you guys create an Apple ID if you don't have one you do not need a credit card so don't worry about that and you guys can enter your Apple ID right now if you already have one of course if you guys don't really don't want to just set up later and forget about it for now however I want to register this iMac to my Apple ID and I want to get everything that I can experiment right here can download apps and I can get a lot of stuff plus all my contacts and stuff won't transfer on just from using my Apple ID once I put in a password it will just go next and then it's gonna ask me for this if I want to do that in this case I do not now your emails supposed to be up there just make sure it's the correct email this is up to you guys I do suggest using two-factor but in this case I will not down here below we don't have to agree so let's just click right there again we're gonna have to agree just click up there from here just feeling all the information if you guys want to take out the password later on we can so a lot of people don't like to have to put their password every time since just have it at home and you use it so we can take that out later on but for now we will have to put in a passcode so down here you guys can see that it says allow my app ID to reset Spence you guys can put a checkmark there or just take it off it's up to you guys if you want to reset it just in case you forget once you fill in that information just going to continue and it's gonna set up our iCloud in this case you have to make sure you're still sending to the app ID that you want to that's gonna be up here and then we're gonna see this Express set up I suggest just going to express it up you don't really need to customize your settings but you can if you want to just by clicking down there we're just gonna go on to continue now here's this part you don't need to share this but I always like to share with developers so they can improve Apple so I'm gonna hit on continue this part is all about screen time so in this case I would suggest doing screen time if you have kids or anything like that because you guys can set up a lot of restrictions around this or if you want to measure how much screen time you are on your rack go ahead and set this up sure however if by this your personal Mac you're just gonna use it for work or whatever and you're only careful not telling you how much you used it or setting up any privacy then go ahead and just set up later so I'm gonna click up here set up later screen time and Siri Siri set up is the same if you guys have an iPhone or iPad we will be able to ask Siri things so we can enable Siri down here just make sure you have a checkmark and go ahead and continue now you can choose to share your audio recordings or not now so it depends if you guys want to share that in for or not for me it would be no I'm gonna go ahead don't continue okay this part is very important because a lot of you may not want to pay for iCloud drive and now we'll get filled up very very fast if you guys have these check marks on so I'm gonna suggest taking these check marks off if you guys were already paying for iCloud Drive then sure you guys can store documents in your iCloud drive and because you only guys only get 5 gigs free other than that you will have to pay so I was just just taking those off for pictures for example we have Google photos which you can store them for free see that necessary and for files well if you want to get them online sure I guess but I would suggest just looking into prices of others and then just comparing what you want this is your personal preference so right now it's a big deal between light-dark and auto so what you guys mostly want is light for those of you who like that classic look other than that dark for me I like dark especially because it changes everything to dark and I just like the way that looks so right now you guys could see I change the dark however to make this video it's actually easier to make it and leave it up light we can change this whenever we want in System Preferences later on and it's very easy so I'm gonna go ahead and continue on right now it's just setting up our Mac so congrats guys you are done setting up your Mac right now we can go ahead and start using our Mac now remember that I do have separate videos showing you guys a quick manual of your Mac so if you're pregnant WiMAX or MacBook Pros or anything Mac related there's a manual that I have for you to follow other than that we are done our setup you guys can go ahead it started enjoy your Mac that's it for this
