Transferring Information Between Two Apple Computers
If two Apple computers are not connected by a network, you can transfer information
between them by connecting them with an Ethernet crossover cable (in effect creating a
small network of just two computers). You connect the cable to each computer’s Ethernet
port and then turn on file sharing on both computers, or configure the computers’ Ethernet
settings to create a small network. For more information about configuring such an Ethernet
connection, see Mac Help.
You can also connect two Apple computers using a FireWire cable. You can then use FireWire
target disk mode to transfer files from one computer to another. For more information about
using FireWire target disk mode, see “FireWire Target Disk Mode” on page 49.
If you have an Internet connection, you can also transfer files via the Internet to your iDisk
storage area on iTools, where you or another iTools user can download them. For more
information about iTools, see “iTools—Free Internet Services for Mac Users” on page 32.
