If you don't intend to keep or use your other Mac, it's best to deauthorize it from playing music, videos, or audiobooks that you've purchased from the iTunes Store. Deauthorizing a computer prevents any songs, videos, or audiobooks you've purchased from being played by someone else, and frees up another authorization for use. For information about deauthorizing, choose iTunes Help from the Help menu in iTunes. If you don't use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Go to the Applications folder, open Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant. Step 7: Customize your desktop and set your preferences. You can easily make your desktop look the way you want using System Preferences, your command center for most settings on your Mac mini. Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar, or click the System Preferences icon in the Dock. For more information, open Mac Help and search for "System Preferences" or for the specific preference you want to change. Setting Up DVD or CD Sharing If your ordered your Mac mini without the optional SuperDrive, you can use DVD or CD sharing to partner with another Mac or Windows computer that has an optical disc drive and is on the same wired or wireless network.
