[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1951288, member: 204485"] Can I just suggest that during setup if you are still in that phase do not opt for the offer to store your Desktop and Documents Folders in iCloud. Although everything is reversible on a Mac that one is particularily confusing, especially for a newbie. As for Encryption, another offer during setup its really up to you. With the new M Series Silicon Macs there is no harm in selecting this although initially it's not really necessary. You will find Apple Guide helpful for specific help. If I search for it I get the Australian one [URL='https://support.apple.com/en-az/mac/imac']iMac - Official Apple Support[/URL] So do an Online Search and you'll get the area specific one for you, then click the Support tab. For example I get this; [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-16 at 08.35.50.png"]40345[/ATTACH] At; [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-az/mac/imac"]iMac - Official Apple Support[/URL] This to a large degree is why you don't get a manual with your new Mac.
