Connecting a Camera or Other FireWire Device
If you have an iPod, iSight camera, digital video camera, or other device that has a
FireWire connector, you can connect it to your eMac. Follow the installation instructions
that came with your device. For more information about FireWire, see “FireWire” on
page 26.
Connecting to a Network
If you want to connect your eMac to an Ethernet network, cable or DSL modem, or a
wireless network, see “Ethernet (10/100Base-T)” on page 29 and “AirPort Extreme
Wireless Internet and Networking” on page 27 for more information about setting up
an Ethernet or AirPort connection. Also open Mac OS Help (see page 22) and search for
“Ethernet” or “AirPort” for further help.
Using the Internet
When you first set up your eMac, you were instructed on how to connect to the
Internet. If you need to change to a different type of connection, such as DSL, cable
modem, Ethernet local area network (LAN), or AirPort Extreme network, you can find
more information in Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 61.
Transferring Files to Another Computer
If you want to transfer files or documents to or from your eMac, you have several ways
of doing it.
• You can transfer files via the Internet using .Mac or another Internet account.
• You can transfer files to another computer on a network. To access another server or
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
eMac to another computer’s Ethernet port. For more information, open Mac OS Help
and search for “Connecting two computers.”
• You can also connect to another Mac using a FireWire cable. Your eMac appears as a
disk drive on the other computer and you can transfer files. For information about
using FireWire to transfer files, see “FireWire Target Disk Mode” on page 27.
