This chapter provides explanations and procedures for using your computer. Youll nd instructions for using the important features of your computer, including your keyboard and mouse, modem, FireWire, USB, networking, and more. Explanations are provided for m Using Your Apple Pro Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse on page 42 m Using Your Computer Speakers on page 44 m Using FireWire Devices on page 48 m Using Your DVD Drive on page 50 m Using Your Modem on page 52 m Connecting to an Ethernet Network on page 53 m Using AirPort Wireless Networking on page 55 m Putting the Computer to Sleep to Save Energy on page 56 m Transferring Information Between Two Apple Computers on page 57

Connecting Multiple USB Devices
Your computer has two USB ports built in. If you are using an Apple Studio Display or Apple Cinema Display with your computer, you have two additional USB ports to which you can connect your keyboard and speakers. Do not attach your speakers to the USB ports on your keyboard or to an external USB hub. They are not designed to support your speakers. Plug your speakers into a USB port on your computer, or into the USB ports on an Apple Studio Display or Apple Cinema Display that has an ADC cable.
If you have more USB devices than you have available USB ports, purchase a USB hub. The USB hub connects to an open port on your computer and provides additional USB ports (usually four or seven).

USB hub

For More Information on USB
Additional information on USB is available in Mac Help. Choose Mac Help from the Help menu and search for USB. You can also nd information on Apples USB Web site at www.apple.com/usb For information on USB devices available for your computer, go to the Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide
Using FireWire Devices Your computer has two FireWire ports. FireWire is a high-speed data system that lets you easily connect and disconnect external devicessuch as digital video (DV ) cameras, printers, scanners, and hard disks. You can connect and disconnect FireWire devices without restarting your computer.

FireWire ports (2)

These are some of the things you can do with FireWire: m Connect a digital video camera and capture or transfer high-quality video directly to your computer. Then you can use video-editing software such as iMovie to edit the video. m Connect an external FireWire hard disk drive and use it to back up data or transfer les. A FireWire hard disk icon appears on your desktop immediately after you connect the drive to your computer. In addition, most FireWire hard disks get their power from the FireWire cable, so there is no need to carry around a power supply. m If you have a problem with your computer that prevents you from starting up or you want to transfer les, you can use FireWire to connect your computer to another computer so that your computer will appear as an external hard disk on the other computer (a feature known as FireWire target disk mode). To use a FireWire device with your computer, connect the device to the computer and install any software that came with the device. Your computer automatically senses when you attach a new device. To start up from a FireWire hard disk that has the Mac OS on it, use the Startup Disk control panel to select the FireWire hard disk as the startup drive. If your FireWire hard disk doesnt appear or cant be selected in the control panel, consult the FireWire hard disk vendor for updated software drivers.

FireWire Target Disk Mode
If you have a problem with your computer that prevents you from starting up or if you just want to transfer les between two computers, you can use FireWire to connect your computer to another computer and then have it appear as an external hard disk on the other computer. The computer you want to connect your computer to must have FireWire version 2.3.3 or later installed. Use Apple System Proler, available in the Apple menu, to check the version of FireWire installed. If you have an older version, check the Apple FireWire Web site at www.apple.com/rewire
To connect your computer in FireWire target disk mode, follow these steps:
Use a FireWire cable to connect your computer to another FireWire-equipped computer. Start up your computer and immediately hold down the T key. Your computer display shows the FireWire disk mode indicator, and the computer internal hard disk icon appears on the desktop of the other computer.
When you are nished transferring les, drag the computer hard disk icon to the Trash to unmount the drive. Press the power button on the monitor to shut your computer down and then disconnect the FireWire cable.
For More Information on FireWire
Additional information on FireWire, including setting up a network of FireWire devices, is available in Mac Help. Choose Mac Help from the Help menu, and search for FireWire. You can also nd information on Apples FireWire Web site at www.apple.com/rewire For information on the FireWire devices available for your computer, go to the Macintosh Products Guide at www.apple.com/guide
Using Your DVD Drive You can install or run software from CD and DVD discs using the DVD drive. You can also use your DVD drive to play DVD movies, multimedia on CD-ROM discs, and music from audio CDs. Note: If you have older software that comes on oppy disks, contact the software manufacturer to see if the software is available on a CD-ROM disc or purchase an external USB or FireWire oppy disk drive (such as an LS120/SuperDisk) for your computer from your Apple dealer or the Apple Store (www.apple.com/store).

Inserting Discs

To install or use programs from a CD or DVD disc, do the following: m Place a disc in the slot, with the label of the disc facing you, and push gently until the drive draws the disc in. When the icon for the disc appears on the screen, the disc is ready for use.
Insert a disc with the label facing toward you. Always hold the disc by its edges only.

Ejecting a Disc

You eject a disc by dragging the disc icon to the Trash, or by pressing the Media Eject key on your keyboard. If you are unable to eject a disc, hold down the mouse and restart your computer. When the computer restarts, the disc is ejected.

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 computers Ethernet port and then turn on file sharing on both computers, or congure the computers Ethernet settings to create a small network. For more information about conguring 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 les 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 les 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 iToolsFree Internet Services for Mac Users on page 32.

If a grounding wrist strap is included with your replacement memory, refer to the instructions included for how to ground and use the strap.

About Memory
Memory cards called Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) provide dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) to your computer. The DIMMs are installed in three memory slots on the logic board.

DRAM DIMM

Your computer uses synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) DIMMs that must be compatible with the computers specications. Replace the DIMM in your computer with the replacement DIMM provided in this package. Do not use DRAM DIMMs from older computers, even if they t into the DIMM slots. Note: Different size DRAM DIMMs can be installed in any order in any DIMM slot. You also do not have to install DIMMs in pairs, as in some older Macintosh computers.
