The Basics

 You can connect to an AirPort Extreme 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network to transfer

files. For more information, see “AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking and Internet
Access” on page 41.

 If you have access to devices that communicate via Bluetooth wireless technology,

you can transfer files using Bluetooth wireless technology. For more information, see
“Using Bluetooth Devices” on page 39.

For general information about transferring files and documents, open Mac OS Help and
search for the type of connection you need.

When an Application Freezes

On rare occasions, an application may freeze on the screen. Mac OS X provides a way to
quit a frozen application without restarting your computer. Quitting a frozen
application may allow you to save your work in other open applications.

To force an application to quit:

1

Press Command (x)-Option-Esc or choose Force Quit from the Apple () menu.

The Force Quit Applications dialog appears with the application selected.

2

Click Force Quit.

The application quits, leaving all other applications open.

If needed, you can also force the Classic environment to quit, which closes all Classic
applications. You can also restart the Finder from this dialog.

If you’re experiencing other problems, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” on page 63.
