Hi All,

I have done a fair bit of Googling but most information seems to be relating to OSX 9. I need to transfer files between my iBook and Macbook Pro and wish to do so via Firewire. I need to know what needs to be done and what sort of cord I need to purchase.


Thanks in advance.

Firewire 400 cable or use an ethernet cable.

Connect the two with the firewire cable, and then boot the iBook while holding down the "T" key until the screen shows a purple background with an orange firewire symbol. This is target disk mode. The drive of the iBook should mount on your MacBook Pro just like a regular external drive.

Just connecting them via Firewire should create a network if they're both running 10.4 or higher.

Well that's cool. Thanks for the info.
