Using Universal Serial Bus (USB) Devices

Your MacBook Pro comes with three USB 2.0 (d) ports, also referred to as high-speed

USB, which you can use to connect many types of external devices, including iPods,

printers, scanners, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards, and floppy disk

drives. Your USB 2.0 ports are compatible with earlier USB devices. In most cases, you

can connect and disconnect a USB device while the computer is running. After you

connect the device, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart or reconfigure your

computer.
