Question for Mac users

Does anyone know how to transfer files from one mac to another using a firewire cable?
Between an Intel iMac and a Macbook
Thanks

…there’s a better way than ethernet to transfer files between two Macs, using Target Disk Mode. Connect the two Macs together with a firewire cable, with one Mac on and the second one off. Then turn the second Mac on and hold down on the T key. A firewire symbol will come up on the screen of the second Mac, and the HD name will show up on the first Mac, just like it’s an external hard drive. The files can then be transferred at firewire speeds, much faster than via ethernet. (These are condensed instructions, I’d look up the full instructions before doing it… there’s a few little, but important, details, like making sure you drag the icon of the second Mac to the trash before disconnecting or shutting it down).

there ya go. I did this last month.

Yep!!! OLT's right.

I had to do the same when I pulled all my pics and music off my Dual G4, to my M-Book.
