Getting to Know Your Mac mini

Transferring Files to Another Computer

You have several ways to transfer files or documents to or from your Mac mini.
 You can easily transfer files using Setup Assistant. For more information, see

“Transferring Information to Your Mac mini” on page 17.

 You can transfer files via the Internet using .Mac or another Internet account. Go to

www.mac.com for more information.

 If your Mac mini is connected to an Ethernet network, you can transfer files to

another computer on the network. To access another computer or server, open a

Finder window and click Network. Or, if you know the name or network address of

the computer, choose Go > Connect to Server from the Finder menu bar.

 You can create a small Ethernet network by connecting an Ethernet cable from your

Mac mini to another computer’s Ethernet (G) port. For more information, open

Mac Help and search for “connecting two computers.”

 You can connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable. Your Mac mini appears

as a disk drive on the other computer (or vice versa) and you can transfer files.

For information about using FireWire to transfer files, open Mac Help and search for

“transferring files with FireWire.”

 You can connect to an AirPort wireless network. For more information, see

“Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking” on page 45.

For more information about transferring files and documents, open Mac Help and

search for “transferring files” or for the type of connection you need.
