Using Your iMac G5

Connecting With FireWire

Your iMac G5 has two FireWire 400 ports (

). FireWire lets you easily connect and

disconnect external high-speed devices—such as digital video cameras, printers,

scanners, and hard disks. You can connect and disconnect FireWire devices without

restarting your iMac G5.

These are some of the things you can do with FireWire:

Connect a digital video camera and capture, transfer, and edit high-quality video

directly on your iMac G5 using video-editing software such as iMovie (included with

your iMac G5), Final Cut Express, or Final Cut Pro.

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 after you connect the drive

to your iMac G5.

Start up from an external FireWire hard disk. Connect an external FireWire disk (with

a valid operating system installed on it), open the Startup Disk pane of System

Preferences, and click the FireWire disk. Restart your iMac G5.
