Start an Application
To perform tasks of any kind on your Mac, you use one of the applications installed on your Mac. The application you use depends on the task you want to perform. For example, if you want to surf the World Wide Web, you use a web browser application, such as the Safari program that comes with your Mac. Before you can use an application, however, you must first tell your Mac which application you want to run. Your Mac launches the application and displays it on the desktop. You can then use the application’s tools to perform your tasks.
