Using USB Devices

Your computer comes with USB ports, which you use to connect many different types of external devices, including printers, digital cameras, game pads, joysticks, keyboards and mouse devices, and storage devices. USB makes it easy to connect external equipment. Once you connect the device, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart your computer.

To use a USB device with your computer, connect the device to the computer and install its software or conﬁgure your computer to work with the device once. From then on, your computer automatically loads the correct software whenever you attach the device.

Note: Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. In most cases you do not need to install the software that came with the device. If, when you connect a USB device, your computer cannot ﬁnd the correct software, it asks you to search the Internet to ﬁnd it.
