Hello JaceBurton,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're have a question about getting started on your new Mac. We're happy to provide some information to assist.


To help sync some content, you'll want to ensure iCloud is enabled across your devices. Set up iCloud on all your devices


You can also find information for setting up your Mac, depending on the model you've purchased in the guides below.


Set up your Mac Pro


Set up your iMac


Set up your MacBook Pro


Set up your MacBook Air


Full transfer of data from an iPad to a Mac isn't possible. We'd recommend using iCloud to sync certain content and continuing with the guide(s) based on your Mac model to continue. Find the steps for locating the manual for your model here: Find the manual for your Mac



Best!

Hi JaceBurton,


Thanks for the information. To clarify, what content synced with iCloud are you not seeing on your Mac? If it's Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders check out the article here: If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync


We'd also recommend checking out the full iCloud user guide here: iCloud User Guide


Let us know the details of what's occurring and we can continue to assist.


Best.
