Connecting a Digital Videocamera or Other FireWire Device

If you have an iPod, iSight camera, digital videocamera, 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 28 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.

Connecting to 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.

•If you have an iPod or iPod mini, you can transfer files to the iPod and then connect the iPod to the other computer and transfer the files from the iPod to the other computer. See the manual that came with your iPod for more information.

•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.

•If your computer has an AirPort Extreme Card, you can connect to an AirPort Extreme wireless network to transfer files. For more information, see “AirPort Extreme Wireless Internet and Networking” on page 28.
