iMac G5 iSight User’s Guide PDF Manual

Read please this manual that is including setup, usage and troubleshooting information for your iMac G5 computer. Your iMac G5 has been designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away. If you have never used an iMac G5 or are new to Macintosh computers, read this section for instructions on getting started. If you are an experienced user, you may already know enough to get started. Make sure
you look over the information in Chapter 2, “Getting to Know Your iMac G5,” to find out about the new features of this iMac G5.

Follow the steps on the next two pages to set up your iMac G5.
Step 1: Pass the power cord through the hole in the stand and plug it into the power socket on the back of your iMac G5.

Step 2: To access the Internet or a network, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the iMac G5 and the other end to a cable modem, DSL modem, or a network.

Step 3: Connect the keyboard and mouse cables.

Step 4: Press the power button (®) to turn on your iMac G5.

Using a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
If you purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Wireless Mouse with your iMac G5, see the instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse to set them up and use them with your computer.

The first time you turn on your iMac G5, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user on your iMac G5. If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac to your new iMac G5.

Transferring Information to Your iMac G5
You can use Setup Assistant to automatically transfer information from another Mac to your new iMac G5. To transfer information, make sure of the following:
o Your other Mac must have built-in FireWire and support FireWire Target Disk Mode.
o Your other Mac must have Mac OS X v10.1 or later installed.
o You must have a FireWire cable to connect the two computers.
The Setup Assistant takes you through the process of transferring your information— just follow the onscreen instructions. Transferring information to your iMac G5 does not affect the information on your other Mac. Using Setup Assistant, you can transfer:
o User accounts, including preferences and email
o Network settings so that your new iMac G5 is automatically set up to work with the same network settings as your other Mac
o Your applications folder so that the applications you used on your other Mac are now on your new iMac G5 (you may have to reinstall some of the applications you transfer)
o Files and folders stored on your hard disk

If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your iMac G5, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. Open the Applications folder, open Utilities, and double-click the Migration Assistant icon. Note: If you transfer information later using Migration Assistant, make sure FileVault is turned off on the older computer. To turn off FileVault, choose Apple > System Preferences, click Security, and follow the onscreen instructions.
