FireWire Your computer has one FireWire port. FireWire lets you easily connect and disconnect external high-speed devices-such as digital video (DV ) cameras, printers, scanners, and hard disks. You can connect and disconnect FireWire devices without restarting your computer. G ™ Æ W These are some of the things you can do with FireWire: m Connect a digital video camera and capture, transfer, and edit high-quality video directly on your computer using video editing software such as iMovie. m Connect an external FireWire hard disk drive and use it to back up data or transfer files. A FireWire hard disk icon appears on your desktop immediately after you connect the drive to your PowerBook. m Start up from an external FireWire hard disk. Connect an external FireWire disk (with a valid System Folder installed on it) and then select the disk in the Startup Disk control panel. (To access the control panel, choose Control Panels from the Apple [K] menu and then choose Startup Disk from the submenu.) m If you want to transfer files between computers or have a problem that prevents your computer from starting up, you can use FireWire to connect your PowerBook to another FireWire-equipped computer so that your PowerBook will appear as an external hard disk on the other computer (a feature known as FireWire target disk mode). Using FireWire Devices To use a FireWire device with your computer, connect the device to the computer and install any software that came with the device. Your computer automatically senses when you attach a new device. 42 Chapter 3
