What cable do I need in order to migrate from Macbook Pro (December 2008) to the new Macbook Pro with Retina display?

It's driving me crazy; I have a firewire, but it isn't compatible with the ports on the new macbook pro with retina display.
Thanks for your help!

    All you need is an Ethernet cable.
    Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

  • What chords do i need for a data migration from macbook 2008 to  macbook air 2012

    My 2008 macbook has a firewire port and my new macbook air 2012 has a thunderbolt port. I have a thunderbolt cable but i can't find an adapter to firewire or the firewire cord? Should I return the thunderbolt cable and surrender the 100 bucks for one-on-one or go through the tedious process of using my external hard drive as the 'messenger boy'?

    There's all sorts of ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters out there. Here's one on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Thunderbolt-to-FireWire-Adapter/dp/B008RXYOKY/ref=sr _1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1346277186&sr=8-11&keywords=thunderbolt+firewire
    You'd also need a FireWire 800 to 400 adapter. http://www.amazon.com/elago-FireWire-400-800-Adapter/dp/B002TF0ZDQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie =UTF8&qid=1346277133&sr=8-8&keywords=thunderbolt+to+firewire

  • What cable do I need to import video footage from my Nikon D5100 DSLR?

    Currently I am just inserting my SD card into my Mac and copying over all video clips then importing those directly into FCPX.
    I'd prefer to use a cable, and since these DSLR's don't use the same Firewire my Sony Handycam did (seemingly), I'm at a loss about what to use.
    I am also interested in importing my footage as I record, directly into FCPX. So the cable must be capable of that as well.
    Thanks

    Ok I'll be sincere, video editing is not my thing, but I do own a Nikon D5000, and this one as far as I know is not able to "stream" recordings right into FCP. I maybe wrong though, and in that case, your USB cable should suit your needs.

  • What cables do I need to hook up my vcr to a minidv

    Hi, I want to take my home videos (currently on vhs tapes) and transfer them to my mac mini computer so I can create dvds using imovie and idvd. I have the Sony DCR HC32 minidv (that has the "pass-through" feature). What cables do I need in order to hook my vcr up to the minidv, and what cables do I need to hook my minidv up to my computer? Thanks.

    VCR to Digital Camcorder using whatever the highest input interface the camcorder has in common with the VCR (be it S-Video, etc.).
    You need a FireWire cable to connect the Camcorder to Mini most likely if its a Sony unit. Check the manual. You will need a Mini-FireWire (probably 4-pin) to 6-pin adapter (this side plugs into your apple mini).
    That should do it, most likely iMovie will detect the Camcorder and start sucking down video.

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

    Can I hook my iPhone 3 up to my tv and watch movies and videos? If so what cables do I need?

    I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

    You need either a FireWire 800 to FW 400 cable or a FR 800 (male)/FW(female) adopter.
    However. it the Mini (note that you still have the late 2012 Mini, Apple has not updated the Mini since then) has Mavericks it may not work satisfactorily. I tried it on my 2102 and I get abount 1 frame every 20 seconds. Another uses posted same problem.
    However, it it work fine on my late 2009 Mini with Mavericks

  • What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    Netflix does support video out. The type of cable depends on your TV. I have used the composite cable and the HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable. Both of these cables work great. There is an AV cable, but I haven't used it, but it should work also. Video quality wise the order of preference would be HDMI, AV, Composite. I bought the composite cable for traveling, because I figure most TVs in hotels would have composite inputs.

    you need a mini-dvi to vga adapter to connect to the first cable you have pictured. A mini DVI to video adapter will work with the other which looks to be an S-video cable.
    The minii dvi to vga should do the trick

    Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
    This one will work: Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
