Getting to Know Your Mac mini

Connecting a Camera or Other FireWire Device

If you have an iPod, iSight camera, FireWire digital video camera, hard drive, or other

device that has a FireWire connector, you can connect it to your Mac mini. Follow the

installation instructions that came with your device. For more information about

FireWire, see “Connecting With FireWire” on page 37.

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 when you first set up your

computer or using Migration Assistant later. For more information, see “Transferring

Information to Your Mac mini” on page 14.

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

www.mac.com for more information.

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

another computer on the network. To access another server or computer, 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 port. For more information, open Mac Help

and search for “Connecting two computers.”

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

as a disk drive on the other computer and you can transfer files to or from it. For

more information about using FireWire to transfer files, see “FireWire Target Disk

Mode” on page 39 or open Mac Help and search for “FireWire target.”
