50 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your MacBook
Connecting a Camera or Other FireWire or USB Device
If you have an iPod, digital camera, video camera, scanner, or other device that has a
FireWire or USB connector, you can connect it to your MacBook. Follow the installation
instructions that came with your device. For information about FireWire, see
“Connecting with FireWire” on page 57. For information about USB, see “Using
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Devices” on page 54.
Transferring Files to or from Another Computer
If you want to transfer files or documents to or from another computer, there are
several ways of doing it.
 You can easily transfer all your files using Migration Assistant and a FireWire cable
(sold separately).
 You can connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable and start up your MacBook in
FireWire Target Disk Mode. Your MacBook appears as a hard disk on the other
computer and you can drag files to it. For information about using FireWire to
transfer files, see “Connecting Your MacBook to Another Computer Using FireWire” on
page 59.
 If you have an external hard disk drive, iPod, flash drive, or other data storage device
that connects through a USB or FireWire cable, you can use it to transfer files.
 If you have an email connection, you can email your files to another computer.
