Configure Applications and Settings

At this time, if you have never done so before or don't feel comfortable doing so,  please contact the WCER Research IT help desk so that we can assist you with the preliminary setup of the following:

Microsoft 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive)

     Open Microsoft Outlook:

1.  Type your UW NetID email (netid@wisc.edu) in the Email address field and click the blue "Continue" button. Do not use your first.last@wisc.edu email address.
2.  UW-Madison's NetID login screen will open, and you will log in with your UW NetID username and password, followed by Duo multi-factor authentication.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Acrobat, Photoshop, etc.)

      Adobe Creative Cloud is already installed, but users will need to sign in to Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) using your UW NetID credentials to use it and the apps that are installed by Creative Cloud desktop app.

      How to Sign In to Adobe Creative Cloud:

1. 1.  Type your UW NetID email (netid@wisc.edu) in the Email address field and click the blue Continue button. Do not use your first.last@wisc.edu email address.
   2. UW-Madison's NetID login screen will open, and you will log in with your UW NetID username and password, followed by Duo multi-factor authentication.
   3. After you finish logging in with your NetID, you'll be returned to the Creative Cloud Desktop app with your available applications displayed. From there, you can install, update, or open the apps.
   4. If at any point you're presented with a choice between Personal Account and Company or School Account when signing in, choose Company or School Account (see image below).

              

       After getting Adobe CC activated, you can add Acrobat by clicking Install. It may take several minutes for both Adobe CC and Acrobat to install and update. 

Thank you for taking the time to read and/or follow this setup guide.

If you have any questions or if you have trouble with any of these steps, please contact WCER's Research IT Help Desk — support@wcer.wisc.edu.

Transferring Data

Users will need to manually transfer their data from a backup such as a Time Machine volume, or by using a cloud storage, network, or some other external storage device.

NOTE: It is our strong recommendation that important data never be kept on the local machine, but should instead be kept in a WCER project folder, UW Research drive, or other campus provided storage location such as Box or OneDrive. This not only adds protection of data from loss due to theft or device failure, it makes data transfer to a new computer easier.

What about Migration Assistant?
Please do not use Migration Assistant when setting up a new WCER-provided Mac. Migration Assistant is not designed for use in a managed school/corporate environment.
If you use it, it will undo all of the work that you just completed and we will need to erase your Mac and start over.

Please contact WCER Research IT's help desk if you need advice or assistance with data transfers or choosing storage locations.
