Instead of using traditional cables, AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication between multiple computers. Through a wireless network, you can set up access to the Internet, transfer files, play multiplayer games, and more. Note: You also need an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station and Internet access (fees may apply). Some Internet service providers are not currently compatible with AirPort. Range may vary with site conditions. 30 Chapter 3 Using Your imac G5

32 Using Bluetooth 2.0+EDR Wireless Technology Your imac G5 comes with built-in Bluetooth 2.0+EDR (enhanced data rate) wireless technology. Bluetooth lets you make short-range wireless connections between computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, camera phones, printers, digital cameras, and wireless input devices, such as the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse (available for purchase at Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for many cables that traditionally connect devices together. Bluetooth enabled devices can connect to each other wirelessly at distances up to 10 meters (33 feet). With Bluetooth wireless technology, you can do the following: Â Use your imac G5 to communicate with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Your phone can act as a modem to connect you to a wireless service provider, so you can use your mobile phone to access the Internet. Â Exchange files between Bluetooth enabled computers and devices, even Mac to PC. Apple still recommends the use of AirPort Extreme wireless networking, however, for anything but the smallest files. Â Synchronize data between your imac G5 and a Bluetooth enabled PDA. Using isync, you can perform a hot sync operation without cables or send your business card or calendar events directly to a colleague s PDA. Â Use a Bluetooth wireless printer, keyboard, mouse, or headset. Setting Up a Bluetooth Device Before you can use your mobile phone to connect to the Internet or share contact information, share files with other devices, or use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, you need to set up the device to work with your imac G5. Once you've set up the device, it is paired with your imac G5, and you can see it in the Devices pane of Bluetooth preferences. You need to pair your imac G5 with the device only once, and the two devices remain paired until you delete the pairing.

42 Using FireWire Devices To use a FireWire device with your imac G5, simply connect the device to the computer. Apple has already included software to work with many FireWire devices. When you connect a FireWire device, if your imac G5 cannot find the correct software, you can install the software that came with the device or check the device manufacturer s website for the latest software. Note: The FireWire port is designed to provide power for FireWire devices (up to a total of 8 watts). You can connect multiple devices to each other and connect the daisy-chain of devices to the FireWire port on your imac G5. In most cases, at most two devices should get power from the imac G5. If you connect more than two devices, the rest of the devices in the daisy-chain should be powered by separate power adapters. Connecting more than two FireWire devices that get power from the imac G5 may cause problems. If a problem occurs, shut down your imac G5, disconnect the FireWire devices, and restart your imac G5. Using FireWire Target Disk Mode If you want to transfer files between your imac G5 and another FireWire-equipped computer, or you have a problem that prevents your imac G5 from starting up, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to connect to another computer.
