Setting Up Your MacBook Pro

Your MacBook Pro is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. The following pages take you through the setup process, including these tasks:

  • Plugging in the Apple MagSafe Power Adapter
  • Connecting cables
  • Turning on your MacBook Pro
  • Configuring a user account and other settings using Setup Assistant

Step 1 : Plug In the Apple MagSafe Power Adapter
If there is protective film around the power adapter, remove it before setting up your MacBook Pro.
Insert the AC plug of your power adapter into a power outlet and the power adapter plug into the MacBook Pro power adapter port. As you get close to the port, you’ll feel a magnetic pull drawing in the power adapter plug.
To extend the reach of your power adapter, you can attach the AC power cord. First, pull up on the AC plug to remove it from the adapter, and then attach the included AC power cord to the adapter. Plug the other end into a power outlet. For an illustration, see page 31.

Tweaking the Windows 7 Registry

It is almost everywhere the case that soon after it is begotten the greater part of human wisdom is laid to rest in repositories. —G. C. Lichtenberg

When you change the desktop background using Control Panel’s Personalization window, the next time you start your computer, how does Windows 7 know which image or color you selected? If you change your video display driver, how does Windows 7 know to use that driver at startup and not the original driver loaded during setup? In other words, how does Windows 7 remember the various settings and options either that you’ve selected yourself or that are appropriate for your system?

The secret to Windows 7’s prodigious memory is the Registry. The Registry is a central repository Windows 7 uses to store anything and everything that applies to the configuration of your system. This includes all the following:

Windows 7 Networking Guide

The process of installing Windows 7 involves a stage in which end users need to Set a Network Location. The SNL dialog window can be revisited after deployment, and the settings altered. In this context, location is key. In order to simplify the network configuration, Windows 7, just as Windows Vista before it, allows users to set up a network connection in accordance to location. The SNL dialog offers three different network locations: Public, Work and Home. What it does is that when the computer detects a network connection, options are provided for the user to help define and apply appropriate network settings automatically.

User interaction is only necessary when choosing among Home, Work or Public locations, as Windows 7 does all the heavy lifting. But you can’t even tell there’s any heavy lifting involved as the configuration process is extremely fast, and I for example, have yet to see it fail even once, after countless installs of the platform in pre-Beta, Beta, RC and pre-RTM stages.
