How to Connect a MacBook With Another Laptop (10 Steps)

Turn the 'second' computer off. Connect the two computers to each end of a FireWire cable. If one computer doesn't have a FireWire port, you can also use an Ethernet cable to connect the two computers.
Turn the second computer on while holding down the 'T' key. This activates the second computer in question as a terminal or target disk; it will show up on the desktop of the main computer as a second hard drive. This only works if you use a FireWire connection; if you have created an Ethernet connection between the two computers, simply turn both of them on.
Manipulate the information from either computer via the primary MacBook if you're using a FireWire connection. If you're using an Ethernet connection you can use either computer as the main terminal, and you'll need to select the 'Sharing' pane of your System Preferences panel and enable the 'Internet Sharing' feature on the MacBook with the Ethernet box checked.
Click the small 'eject' button next to the target disk in your Finder display to disconnect the two computers. Alternatively, you can locate the icon for the target computer on your desktop and drag it to the desktop trash bin to disconnect the two computers. This is only necessary for the FireWire method.
Press the power button on the second computer to power it off. The primary computer can stay powered on throughout the whole procedure.
