How to Operate a MacBook

Turn on your MacBook. Press the power button with the computer plugged in. This is not a step you have to take very often. The MacBook has a low power 'sleep' mode that is much more convenient than switching the computer off. Just close the lid of the computer when you're finished using it, and open the lid when you want to use it again.
Explore the main screen---called the Desktop or Finder---of the MacBook. Notice the menu bar at the top of the screen; this bar will contain the menus for whatever program you are currently using. It also has controls and information for common tasks, such as a battery meter, a volume control and a wireless Internet control.
Explore the 'Dock' area along the bottom of your screen. The Dock contains frequently used and currently active programs. To use a program, simply click on its icon in the Dock. Try opening iCal, the Mac calendar program. Notice that the menus on the top of the screen change and the name iCal appears on the left side of the menu. To quit a program, click and hold on its icon in the Dock until the 'Quit' option appears.
Customize your computer. Click on the apple at the far left of the menu bar and select 'System Preferences.' This is where you change any system setting you like. Explore the various options inside System Preferences. Don't worry---you will have to enter your password before it allows you to make any serious changes.
Explore your home folder. Click on the blue smiley face on the left side of the Dock, and your home folder will appear in a new Finder window. From here, you can access your photos, movies, music and documents.
Explore the Applications folder. Your MacBook has many more applications than are shown on the Dock. To access them, open a new finder window (the blue smiley face), and click on the 'Applications' icon on the left side of the window. Double-click a program to start it, or if you prefer, drag the icon to the Dock to make it a permanent fixture there.
