I would be quick to mention that if you haven’t already opened up your System Preferences and make sure you don’t have any new software updates. Also, location services are handy because you can use Find My to locate your device. The initial setup of your Mac includes Filevault as a setup step. Feel free to skip down to further sections if you are already set up with the intro stuff. The introduction to this post is purely getting started, but I wanted to include it, just as I had it in my first one. This will give you a more advanced setup and these tools will require proper research to become more in touch with each of them. I still have a relatively similar setup and things haven’t changed much aside from getting more in touch and a lot more comfortable using new tools. It’s been a while and I’m ready to come back and tackle another post for getting setup with your Mac in 2020. This post has been removed because I no longer continue to support Medium and will be posting on Dev.to from here on out. My first post on Dev.to will be an extension of my first Medium post from January of 2018.
