FireWire Your computer has one FireWire 400 port ( ). With FireWire, you can easily connect and disconnect external high-speed devices-such as DV cameras, printers, scanners, and hard disks-without restarting your computer. ® These are some of the things you can do with FireWire: • Connect a digital videocamera and capture, transfer, and edit high-quality video directly on your computer using video-editing software such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro. • Connect an external FireWire hard disk drive and use it to back up data or transfer files. • Start up from an external FireWire hard disk. Connect an external FireWire hard disk (with a valid operating system installed on it), open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences, and click the FireWire hard disk. Restart your computer. • Transfer files between your PowerBook and another FireWire-equipped computer using 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 detects newly connected devices. 34 Chapter 3 Using Your Computer
