Take good care of your computer and it will take care of you! 1 MacBook Care Guide Creation Date: 10-03-2006 VERSION 1 OCTOBER 2006 MacBook Care and Handling MacBook Care Guide Getting to Know Your Computer 2 Your Trackpad 6 When an Application Doesnt Respond 7 Resetting Your Computer 7 Your New Battery 8 Your Display 13 Your Optical Drive 14 Sleeping and Shutting Down 15 Caring for Your Computer 16 Getting to know your Computer The Start Up Process Your MacBook is sitting in front of you. What do you do to get it up and running? First, lets open it. The latch ( figure 1) is magnetic. Simply pull up on the top case to open it up. The MacBook is hinged on the back. Adjust the screen to the best viewing angle but be careful not to open past the natural stopping point. Now, turn it on. The power switch is located on the upper right of the keyboard (figure 2) . Press it. Youll hear the famous Apple chime which indicates the computer is starting up. It may take as long as a minute before you see the next screen, so dont get impatient. If the computer was already turned on when you pushed the button, it will come up in a few seconds without the chime. Youll see several different screens as your machine starts up. Ports on MacBook The left side of your MacBook contains all the ports youll need to connect digital cameras, camcorders, printers, video projec-tors, science probes, iPods, etc. Lets look at each one a little closer working from left to right. Charging Port The charging port (figure 3) is the first port. We will discuss this port in detail on page 8. Ethernet Port The second port from the left is the Ethernet port (figure 4) . This port is used to hardwire your computer to your school network. As your computer has a wireless card, this port may not nor-mally be used at school.

The Video port allows you to connect a display or projector with a DVI or VGA port. Use the Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter (figure 6) (sold separately) to connect your MacBook to a DVI monitor or projector. Use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter (figure 7) (sold separately) to connect your MacBook to a VGA monitor or projector. You can also display images on a TV, record images on a VCR, or play DVDs on your TV by connecting an Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter (figure 8) for use with composite and S-video connectors. When an external monitor or TV is connected, you can either have the same image appear on both the built-in display and the external monitor (known as video mirroring) or use the external monitor to extend the size of the Mac OS desktop (known as dual-display or extended desktop mode). Extended desktop mode allows you to display a ...
