Top Ten Questions
Do you have a question? Here are the top ten questions
commonly asked by new PowerBook users.
My Internet connection doesn’t seem to be working. How do I set it up?
There are different types of Internet connections. For example, you can connect using a
modem, a DSL connection, a wireless AirPort connection, or an Ethernet network. You
will need to supply Mac OS X with specific information about your connection type,
Internet service provider, or network. The first step in configuring your connection is
gathering the information needed for your connection type. To find out what
information you need and for instructions on how to configure your connection type,
see Appendix C, “Connecting to the Internet,” on page 79. Your computer also has a
Setup Assistant application to help walk you through setting up an Internet
connection. Open System Preferences and click Network. Click the “Assist me” button to
open Network Setup Assistant.
How do I set up my printer? Is it compatible with my PowerBook?
Begin by connecting your printer and installing any software according to the
instructions that came with your printer. Next, open System Preferences and click the
Print & Fax icon. Use the Print & Fax pane to configure your PowerBook to access the
printer. You’ll find lots of information about setting up printers in Mac Help (choose
Help > Mac Help from the menu bar and search for “printer”). Also see “Connecting to a
Printer” on page 28 of this manual.
If your printer doesn’t seem to be working as expected, you might need to check the
manufacturer’s website for updated print drivers. Often the latest printer software is
available for downloading.
