Mac OS X Mountain Lion Changing Your Computer's Settings


Changing Your Computer's Settings

At some point, you'll probably need to change some of the settings on your computer. OS X Mountain Lion makes this as easy as possible by putting almost all of the settings in one place: the System Preferences window. In this lesson, we'll give an overview of the System Preferences window, and also show you how to create multiple accounts on your computer and adjust the Notifications settings.

To Open System Preferences:

  1. Click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen and select System Preferences.

You can also open System Preferences from the Dock or Launchpad.

App Preferences

In addition to changing your computer's settings, you can change the settings for your apps. This allows you to customize the way your apps behave, and control the features that are important to you.
To access the settings for any app, open the app first. Then click the app name in the upper left corner of themenu bar, and choose Preferences from the menu.
