Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Mac Computer

1. 
    
   Position you want Mac in

   Place your Mac computer on a table top in front of you with the apple facing away from you. Make sure the Mac has been charged or that it is plugged into a power source that is on and in working order.

2. 
    
   Opening the Mac

   Locate the smaller of the two long ovals (the one in the center of the computer directly in line with the apple is the one you want - not the one large enough to insert a disc into) that is facing you on the Mac and press it in. The computer should pop open.

3. 
    
   MacBook Key Pad

   Located next to the delete key on the key pad is a round circle- it is the only round button you will see once the Mac is opened. Press and hold for 3 seconds and the Mac will turn on.

4. 
    
   Mac powered on

   You will know it is on when you see the blue screen with your icons.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure the batter on your computer has been charged. If it has not been charged, make sure the Mac is plugged in.
