How to setup a new iMac Computer Guide by Keith Thomas
The first steps and tasks is to unbox the iMac computer, and the Apple packaging is straightforward to unpack a new iMac computer.
Once the new iMac computer has been unboxed the initial task is to connect the iMac white power brick to the mains power supply and snap in the iMac power cord which has a unique snap in position, if you have a router box that is next or close to the power supply iMac box, then a Ethernet cable lead can be used in addition to a WiFi wireless connection.
Powering on the iMac computer for the first time
To turn on a new iMac computer the power on button is at the rear of the iMac computer, looking at the front it’s on the left hand side lower corner, a light press should power on the iMac computer.
What to expect to see from first powering on a new iMac computer
When a new iMac computer is powered on the Apple logo in white is shown to start with and then a welcome screen, at this point the Apple Wireless Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard needs to be powered on and the keyboard power on button at the right of the keyboard needs to show the green on position and also the Apple Magic mouse to green on position, if necessary you can connect the keyboard to the iMac with the supplied USB C charge lead, for the Apple Magic mouse the lead is also supplied, but the mouse cannot be used whilst charging. If necessary the mouse and keyboard had a 10 minute quick charge so you can use the iMac computer, but Apple will usually pre charge the keyboard and mouse to make it useable right away.
Getting past the Welcome iMac Screen
The first task is to choose the language for the iMac operating system for the UK United Kingdom British English is the option to choose.
The next task is to make the new iMac computer join a WiFi wireless network connection and for some new iMac computers the date and time is not yet set to the right time so this can stop the iMac computer from joining a WiFi wireless network connection.
The workaround if the iMac computer will not join a wireless network connection is to use Ethernet cable or to bypass the Wi-Fi connection setup screen and choose not to join s network connection, this is not ideal as this will cause the next step to become a manual process.

What is the best way to transfer or copy data to a new iMac computer?
The best way to transfer or to copy data from an existing computer, especially from an older Intel computer is not to copy or transfer applications, as this will cause unnecessary old and obsolete and outdated applications to be copied to a new iMac computer, the best way is to simply download the non Apple iMac computer software that you need for example download Microsoft 365 for Mac, download Zoom for Mac, download Microsoft Teams for Mac, and download Adobe software for Mac some downloads required you to sign into your account with the software vendor.
How to setup email on a new iMac computer?
With a new Apple iMac computer for email you have a choice of using either Apple Mac Mail or using Microsoft Outlook for Mac, and especially if you use a Google Gmail account or a Microsoft Exchange Account then by using Microsoft Outlook for Mac and by using the newer Microsoft Sync technology option for your Gmail of Microsoft email or Outlook.com or Hotmail account then you can get the best email experience, especially as Apple Mac Mail is not optimised to work with a Gmail account that has a high amount of emails and a high amount of Labels as the default iMap Google Mail account settings, will and cause issues and problems, especially if you have multiple Gmail accounts to use.
