Using Universal Serial Bus (USB) Devices
Your MacBook comes with two USB 2.0 (d) ports, also referred to as high-speed USB,
which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including iPods, printers,
scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk drives. Your
USB 2.0 ports are compatible with earlier USB devices. In most cases, you can connect
and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. After you connect the
device, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart or reconfigure your computer.
