Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your Mac mini 27
Using the Internet
When you first set up your Mac mini, you were instructed on how to connect to the
Internet. If you need to change to a different type of connection, such as a DSL or 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 69.
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 the Setup Assistant. For more information, see
“Transferring Information to Your Mac mini” on page 13.
 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 OS
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. For information
about using FireWire to transfer files, open Mac OS Help (see page 29) and search for
“FireWire target.”
