Hi all,
I recently switched from Windows 8 to Mac OS X. I'm liking the computer as far as coding/stats/engineering work goes, majorly due to the multiple desktops. Huge boon. Anyway, I've been wondering about the AppleID I entered when I first set up the MacBook. I had an AppleID from before, since I've had an iPhone for a while. What exactly does giving the AppleID upon setup of my MacBook do? It seems to be separate from the Login information for the computer itself. I'm asking because I've realized I don't really want my AppleID and my laptop to be associated. Does entering the AppleID upon setup permanently associate your computer with that ID? Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
