My Mac does not have a firewire port to hook up my Canon HD video camera.  How do I do it?

I am trying to figure out how to hook my Canon HD video camera to my MacBook Pro, but there does not seem to be a firewire port on the computer.  How do I do this?

If, as your tagline says, you have a late 2011 MacBook Pro then you do have a firewire port, it's marked with this symbol:
You may need one of these:

  • My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

    My macbook does not have a firewire port. Is there any kind of adapter that will allow me to use my advc 300 (which need to plug in to the FireWire port)?

    Firewire, USB and the recent thunderbolt use completely different protocols, therefore there are no adapters for mutually adapting them, just a computer, which allows connecting them, and will work as an interface. For example, if you have an external disk in an enclosure with only FW connection and another one with USB connection, just your mac, having both, allows their interconnectivity.
    If your mac does not have FW (the brief alu MB series, Air) you cannot connect a FW device, if only FW port is there.

  • I have a firewire scanner but my new computer does  not have a firewire port

    I have a Nikon Coolscan firewire scanner, but my new computer does not have a firewire port. Are there any suggestions on how I can continue to use my scanner? Is there some form of Firewire to USB interface?
    Thanks for any ideas.
    John

    I would think Gene's adapter will work fine, but if you are stuck, it might be useful to find larger number of Nikon users to ask.  The DPReview forums come to mind, except they are split into sections.  If you are on flickr, there is bound to be a general Nikon group.  The Canon group on flickr gets a ton of traffic and has a trillion members.  Then there are places like Fred Miranda and Luminous Landscape, that is mostly populated by grown ups with lots of knowledge.  On second thoughts, forget about Luminous Landscape, unless that was a typo in your first post, and you actually have a Hasselblad or PhaseOne scanner

    2) Video I/P,

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • External video projector - How can I hook up my Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?

    Hi
    How can I hook up my DVI Adapter onto my new MacBookAir if the machine does not have a mini port (but only 2 USBs and 1 Thunderbolt)?
    Is there a DVI adaptor already for Thunderbolt?
    Thanks,
    JFR

    The Mini Display port and Thunderbolt port use compatible connector bodies. Your current Mini Display to DVI or VGA adapter will still work as before on the newer Thunderbolt capable machines.

  • I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage.  This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
    The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port.  There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

    Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

  • Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.

    The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.

  • Mini mac does not have room to run all app or upgrade

    Help please. My mini mac is telling me that I do not have enough room to upgrade or run all my apps. Can I upgrade something inside the drive and if I can, can I just go to the Apple store and have that done?
    We purchased the mini mac Christmas 2008 and I have added final cut but nothing else. I do have an awful lot of photos in iphoto, would it help me to backup those onto a external drive then delete those items for more space? I'm taking about 4,000+/- photos and 253 events.

    When I was working in itunes a message popped up telling me there was a problem saving the itunes library. When I attempt to upgrade I receive the message:
    "Your hard disk does not have enough space. 2.8 GB is required to download and install the updates. Extra space is required for the optimization process. To free up space, remove files from your start up disk, then try again."
    I have one movie in final cut and its approx 14 minutes. There are 4 unpublished movies in imovie and 2 published.
    What type of firewall external harddrive do you recommend? I have 2 WD passports for storage.
