It's just that there are many friends who may have switched from Windows and can use Windows proficiently, but they are not used to the MacBook that has just arrived.

In this issue, Mac Poison is here to share some practical and practical tips for Mac novices to get started faster.

1. Create a user account

All you have to do when you get your hands on the computer is create a user for your Mac and set a password, because that's a matter of your privacy.

However, when you turn on the computer, there will be a navigation prompt, just follow the prompts.

Specific steps:

(1) Click the  icon in the upper left corner and select "System Preferences" and "Users & Groups"

(2) Select "Users & Groups"

(3) You can set up an administrator account or guest user according to your own situation, so as to protect our privacy, and you can also enable parental controls, etc.

2. Sign in to iCloud Sync

Use iCloud to sync your Apple devices to make it easier to manage your Apple devices.

Specific steps:

(1) Click the  icon in the upper left corner and select "System Preferences"

(2) Select "iCloud"

(3) Be sure to sign in to your Apple ID for easy syncing and management.

3. Display settings

For the default resolution of the Mac system, it may not be enough for some friends who need a lot of work and need to display a lot of content on the screen.

So that's where we can set it up.

Specific steps:

(1) Click the  icon in the upper left corner and select "System Preferences"

(2) Select "Display"

(3) Click "Zoom" to set it according to your needs.

4. Set the Dock bar

The "Dock" is also known as the "Dock".

It functions like a taskbar in Windows, so you can place apps to your liking so you can open them whenever you want.

It's a good idea to save your favorite apps in the Dock bar and remove apps you don't think are necessary, so as to save space and reduce visual distractions.

You can also set the Dock size, position, effects, and automatically show and hide, especially automatically show and hide, hiding the Dock bar can increase the usable area of the screen, and it will be automatically displayed when the cursor moves to the bottom of the screen, without affecting the use.

Specific steps:

(1) Click the  icon in the upper left corner and select "System Preferences"

(2) Select "Dock"

(3) Customize the settings according to your preferences and needs

5. Be good at using Spotlight

"Spotlight" is a fast indexing feature in Apple products, also known as "Spotlight Search".

Search for everything related to keywords in the system according to the settings, including contacts, messages, emails, songs, and more.

But you don't want too many results to be presented, so you can set it up and choose what you're looking for.

Specific steps:

(1) Click the  icon in the upper left corner and select "System Preferences"

(2) Select "Spotlight"

(3) Customize the settings according to your preferences and needs

6, touchpad

The trackpad of the Mac is very easy to use, which is one reason why the Mac is so efficient, almost replacing the mouse.

So one of the mice I once bought has been eating ashes.

It is recommended that you carefully review the instructions in the "Trackpad" of "System Preferences" to make it easier to get started.

In the "Trackpad", select "Cursor & Click" to set "Tap to Click", which makes clicking more labor-saving.

At the same time, in the "System Preferences – Accessibility – Mouse & Trackpad – Trackpad" option, you can set or select more gestures, and once you are familiar with using these shortcut gestures, you will sigh that the trackpad is really an artifact of efficiency.

Well, that's all for the practical settings and tricks for MacBook that Mac Poison shares with you today.

Hope it will bring some help to some Mac users who are just getting started. If you want to know more Mac tips and tutorials, you can also check out the previous content.
