When you pick up a new MacBook, you will definitely be very excited. But you should check out some adjustments, tips, and fixes on the first day, they will make your MacBook easier to use. It will also make your MacBook play its best performance. Therefore, after you skip the initial screen from the Mac Setup Assistant, please consider changing these settings on your new MacBook. Let’s take a look!
Check for updates
Has Apple released an update to MacOS? Find it by clicking the Apple button in the upper left corner of the screen, and then clicking About This Mac. You should stare at the “General” tab of the “About This Mac” window. If so, click the “Software Update” button, which will launch “System Preferences” to check for updates.
Optimize battery charging
If your MacBook is plugged into a power source most of the time, you definitely want to change this setting. MacOS can learn your charging habits to reduce battery aging. Click the battery icon on the menu bar at the top of the display, and select battery preferences from the drop-down menu. (If you don’t see the battery icon, go to “System Preferences”> “Energy Saver” and check the “Show battery status in the menu bar” box.) At the bottom of the list of options, select “Optimize battery charging.” Once the battery level reaches 80%, this will slow down your charging speed.
Set up Siri
Siri should be enabled by default, but if you prefer to use Siri only on iPhone, you can disable Siri by going to “System Preferences”> “Siri” and unchecking the “Enable Ask Siri” box.
Customize the Touch Bar
If you have the last Intel-based MacBook Pro model with a touch bar, please go to “System Preferences”> “Keyboard” and click the “Customize Touch Bar” button, then just drag to display Click the button to display the default view of the Touch Bar to the Touch Bar below the display. Don’t worry, they will cross the hinge from your display to the touch bar.
Sync folders via iCloud
To sync these two folders, go to System Preferences> Apple ID, then click on the left side of iCloud and check the checkbox next to iCloud Drive. Click the option next to iCloud Drive, and then select the Desktop and Documents folder.
Choose default browser
To set the default browser, go to “System Preferences”> “General” and select an option other than Safari for “Default Web Browser.”
Set scroll direction
If you want the two-finger swipe gesture to scroll vertically in the opposite way, go to “System Preferences”> “Trackpad” and click the “Scroll and Zoom” tab. Next, uncheck the Scroll direction: Natural box.
Mobile Dock
The Dock is at the bottom of the screen, but on a widescreen MacBook display, you might find it better to put it on the side. To move the Dock, go to System Preferences> Dock & Menu Bar, and select Left or Right for Position on Screen. There, you can also drag the slider to adjust the size of the Dock. You can also check the Auto Hide and Show Dock box to make it disappear from view when not in use.
Set app download tolerance
If you want to download applications from the web, not just from the Mac App Store, you need to tell MacOS to relax. Go to System Preferences> Security & Privacy, click the General tab, then click the lock in the lower left corner and enter your password to change it. Next, allow to choose an application store from the downloaded application, and determine the developer.
