Adjust settings in System Preferences
- [Instructor] System Preferences is where you can adjust some global settings for the way things work on your Mac. And it's something that we will revisit constantly through this course.

Or you can go to the main system menu by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then choose System Preferences. And you should see this screen which is a list of different categories. If you see anything other than this, when you launch System Preferences, then you can click this button here, which will take you back to this main screen. And there are lots of options here for things you may need to adjust on your Mac and they're organized by these categories.
