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 Music
Store. Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks you’ve
purchased from being played by someone else and frees up another authorization for
use (you can use only five authorized computers at a time with an iTunes account).
For information on deauthorizing, in iTunes open Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.
If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your
computer, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Go to the Applications folder,
open Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant.
Note:
If you’ve used Setup Assistant to transfer information from your other Macintosh
and you want to use Migration Assistant to transfer information from it again, make
sure FileVault is turned off on the other Macintosh. To turn off FileVault, open the
Security pane of System Preferences and click Turn Off FileVault. Follow the onscreen
instructions.
Setup Assistant can also take you through the process of setting up your computer to
connect to the Internet. For home users, Internet access requires an account with an
Internet service provider (ISP). Fees may apply. If you already have an Internet account,
see Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 113 for information you’ll need
to enter.
Congratulations, you’re up and running!
