For safety instructions about using your power adapter, see Plugging In the Power Adapter on page 73.

Using the Trackpad

How quickly the pointer moves onscreen is based on how quickly you move your finger across the trackpad. To move the pointer a short distance, move your finger slowly across the trackpad. The faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer moves onscreen.
Tips for Using the Trackpad
For best results when using the trackpad, keep in mind these tips: Use only one finger, except when the scrolling feature is turned on and you want to scroll. Do not use a pen or any other object. Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from humidity or condensation, gently wipe it with a clean cloth before you use it. Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad. For more information about using the trackpad, choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Instead of using the trackpad button, you can use your finger to click and double-click directly on the trackpad. You can turn on this feature and other trackpad options in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences. You can also scroll vertically and horizontally in a window that has scroll bars by moving two adjoining fingers on the trackpad. This feature can be turned off or adjusted in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences. Note: If you find that the pointer moves as you type because you accidentally brush the trackpad, you can avoid this problem by selecting the Ignore accidental trackpad input option in the Keyboard & Mouse pane of System Preferences.

Connecting to the Internet
You can use your computer to browse the World Wide Web, send email to friends and family, and chat in real time over the Internet. Use this detailed guide to connect to the Internet.
When you first start up Mac OS X, Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet configuration information and sign up for an Internet service provider (ISP) if you dont already have one. If you didnt use Setup Assistant to configure your Internet connection, you can use it now. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the Assist me button to open Network Setup Assistant. If you dont want to use Network Setup Assistant, you can use the information in this appendix to set up your connection manually. There are four kinds of Internet connections: Dial-up connection: Your computer is plugged into a telephone wall jack using a telephone cable. High-speed DSL or cable modem connection: Your computer is plugged into a special modem you get from an ISP using an Ethernet cable. AirPort Extreme wireless connection: Your computer is connected wirelessly to the Internet using an AirPort Extreme Base Station. Local area network (LAN): Your computer is plugged into a LAN using an Ethernet cable. This type of connection is usually used in the workplace.
LL2507.book Page 74 Thursday, March 11, 2004 5:16 PM
Before you connect to the Internet: 1 Set up an account with an ISP. If you do not have an ISP account, Setup Assistant can help you get one. If you dont want to use the ISP suggested by Setup Assistant, you can find an ISP in your phone directory. Look under Internet access, Internet service, or online. Note: If you want to use America Online as your ISP, skip the Internet setup part of Setup Assistant. 2 Gather the connection information you need from your ISP or network administrator. See the next section, Gathering the Information You Need, to find out what information to get for each type of connection. If another computer in the same location is already connected to the Internet, you may be able to use its settings. To find the settings on a Mac OS X computer: Open the Network pane of System Preferences. Choose your connection method from the Show pop-up menu. Copy the information for your configuration. To find the settings on a Mac OS 9 computer: Open the TCP/IP control panel. Find the connection method in the Connect via pop-up menu. Find the configuration in the Configure pop-up menu. Copy the IP address, subnet mask, and router address from the corresponding fields. To find the settings on a Windows PC: The connection information on a Windows computer resides in two places. To find the IP address and subnet mask, open the Network and Internet Connections control panel. To find user account information, open the User Accounts control panel. You can write the information directly on the next few pages, then enter it in the Setup Assistant. 3 If you are using a dial-up modem, plug the phone cord (included with most Macintosh computers) into your computers modem port and into a phone wall jack. If you are using a DSL or cable modem, follow the instructions that came with the modem to connect it to your computer.

5 Drag Built-in Ethernet to the top of the Port Configurations list to make it the preferred, or primary, network interface. Next, follow the instructions to configure your network manually, using DHCP, or using PPPoE, as instructed by your ISP or network administrator.

LL2507.book Page 89 Thursday, March 11, 2004 5:16 PM

Network Connections

If you have two or more computers attempting to share an Internet connection, be sure that your network is set up properly. You need to know if your ISP provides only one IP address or if it provides multiple IP addresses, one for each computer. If only one IP address is used, then you must have a router capable of sharing the connection, also known as network address translation (NAT) or IP masquerading. For setup information, check the documentation provided with your router or ask the person who set up your network. The AirPort Extreme Base Station may be used to share one IP address among multiple computers. For information on using the AirPort Extreme Base Station, check the onscreen help or visit the Apple AirPort website at www.apple.com/airport. If you cannot resolve the issue using these steps, contact your ISP.

Top Ten Questions

Do you have a question? Here are the top ten questions commonly asked by new PowerBook users.
My Internet connection doesnt seem to be working. How do I set it up? There are different types of Internet connections. For example, you can connect via a modem, a DSL connection, a wireless AirPort connection, or an Ethernet network. You will need to supply Mac OS X with specific information about your connection type, Internet service provider, or network. The first step in configuring your connection is gathering the information needed for your connection type. To find out what information you need and for instructions on how to configure your connection type, see Appendix C, Connecting to the Internet, on page 73. Your computer also has a Setup Assistant application to help walk you through setting up an Internet connection. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the Assist me button to open Network Setup Assistant. How do I set up my printer? Is it compatible with my PowerBook? Begin by connecting your printer and installing any software according to the instructions that came with your printer. Next, open System Preferences and click the Print & Fax icon. Use the Print & Fax pane to configure your PowerBook to access the printer. Youll find lots of information about setting up printers in Mac OS Help (search for printer). Also see Connecting to a Printer on page 25 of this manual. If your printer doesnt seem to be working as expected, you may need to check the manufacturers website for updated print drivers. Often the latest printer software is available for downloading. If you sent a print job to your printer, but its not printing, check to see if the print job is stopped or on hold by clicking the printer icon in the Dock. (If no icon appears in the Dock, open Printer Setup Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder and double-click the printers name.) If the window for the printer says Job Stopped, click the Start Jobs button. If Hold appears beside the job name, resume printing by clicking the job name and clicking Resume. If a print job has stopped printing because of a technical error, you can delete the faulty job by selecting the job and clicking Delete. You can then try printing the job again.
