Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your MacBook Pro 49
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 Pro. Follow the
installation instructions that came with your device. For information about FireWire,
see “Connecting with FireWire” on page 55. For information about USB, see “Using
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Devices” on page 52.
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 Pro in FireWire Target Disk Mode. Your MacBook Pro 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 Pro to Another Computer
Using FireWire” on page 58.
 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.
 If you register for a .Mac account from Apple (fees apply), you can use it to transfer
files. With a .Mac account, you get an iDisk, which provides Internet space for backing
up and storing files so that other computers can access the files you transfer there.
 Using a recordable optical drive, you can record files for transfer on a CD or DVD disc.
