Transferring Information Between Two Macintosh Computers If two Macintosh computers are not connected by an Ethernet, AirPort, or Bluetooth network, you can transfer information between them by connecting them with a standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable (in effect creating a small network of just two computers). You can buy this type of cable from an Apple Authorized Reseller. You connect the cable to each computer's Ethernet port and then turn on file sharing on both computers. You can also configure the Ethernet settings on two computers to create a small network. First, turn on file sharing on both computers: 1 Choose Apple () > System Preferences. 2 Click Sharing, then click Start. Next, follow these steps on one computer: 1 Choose Go > Connect to Server. 2 Click Local Network. 3 Select the computer you want to access. For more information about configuring Ethernet, search for "Ethernet" in Mac Help. If you have an AirPort or Bluetooth wireless network, you can also transfer information between two Macintosh computers. For more information about AirPort or Bluetooth wireless networks, search for "AirPort" or "Bluetooth" in Mac Help. You can also connect two Macintosh computers using a FireWire cable. You can then use FireWire Target Disk Mode to transfer files from one computer to another. For more information, see "Using FireWire Target Disk Mode" on page 33. You can set up your computer to connect to other computers over FireWire, using the Internet Protocol (IP). For more information, search for "IP over FireWire" in Mac Help. If you have an Internet connection, you can transfer files via the Internet to your .Mac iDisk, where you or another. Mac user can download the files. Chapter 3 Using Your Power Mac G5 43
