Firewire cable - How many pins?

I am trying to connect my Panasonic HDC-SD9 video camera to my Mac. Consequently I am in the market for a firewire cable. I have presented with a couple of choices, 4 to 6 pin and 6 to 6 pin.
Which do I need?

The HDC-SD9 is an AVCHD camera. It has a USB port, no FireWire port. The correct USB cable came with your camera when when you purchased it.
If you don't have the cable, you will need to purchase the Panasonic USB cable for the HDC-SD9. You could also use a generic USB 'A' to mini 5-pin USB cable. These are common digital camera USB cables.

    How many pins has my Mini DisplayPort ? 32 or 20 ? I have a late 2009 MBPro 13" (Impossible to find this answer online!)

    Thanks - that's what I am worried about.
    The 2010 MBPro is a different version when it comes to the Mini DisplayPort because the 2009 MBPro doesn't transmit audio ony video whilst the 2010 MBPro does both.

  • How many pins does a FireWire 800 have?

    I'm trying to determine if a fire wire 800 is interchangeable with a fire wire (IEEE 1394a) 6 pin cable. 

    Thanks, r.
    There's an adapter for everything! : )  What about data quality?  Is there any significant loss when using an adapter like this?  My interest is for video transfer and the unit I'm looking to use with my iMac only comes iwth a 6-pin Fire Wire.  Just trying to weigh all my options.  Thanks!

  • I need to know how many pins my memory has in a 15" macbook pro duo core

    I just got this computer for my daughter I wanted to know how much memory it will hold and support. and pin number to make sure it fits. I know that it list 1GB (single SODIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)

    Open System Profiler (In your Utilities folder) and under Hardware Overview, look for the model identifier.  That will identify the MBP.
    Ciao.

  • How many pin connector/2nd hard drive recoomendations?

    I have a dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac that I got maybe 2-3 years ago, probably closer to the latter.
    I am getting into HiDef video editing and will be adding a 400 Gig SATA hard drive to the internal bay at the back of the top inside of the computer.
    There appears to be 2 female ribbon connectors below the top hard drive on the outboard edge closest to the removable side aluminum door panel.
    One female pin connectors is longer, the other shorter.
    I am trying to figure out whether I need a 7 pin connector hard drive or a 21 pin.....I will be getting a Seagate hard drive.
    Anyone have a definitive answer compared to a guess?
    Also, what hard drive of this size would be a plug and play sorta thing without having to do all sorts of whizbang stuff.....I hear Western Digitial has some 10,000 rmp drives, but I need a high sustained transfer rate fast drive to handle realtime editing using Final Cut Express. Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Ok, I got the same box as you.
    I am getting into HiDef video editing and will be adding a 400 Gig SATA hard drive to the internal bay at the back of the top inside of the computer.
    Ok HiDef really, really, REALLY, takes up drive space. Especially in uncompressed formats. If your doing this on any regular basis your going to have to seriously consider speed and data redundancy with something like Apple's X-RAID and a Fiberchannel PCI card with a RAID 5 setup and a lot of drives.
    Obviously your going to have to learn all about RAID. Sure you could slap a 400GB drive in and go, but as that beast fills up it's going to crawl and your going to have problems as the speed drops considerably as the drive fills up.
    You could roll your own external RAID O with a SATA PCI card and a SATA drive enclosure as a working disk for speed, but don't get a whole lot of storage. Backup the finished files to the 400GB internal SATA at night with auto-backup software. But I think of you do this regularly your going to eat up that 400GB in no time flat.
    Depends how involved you get, how much money you got to spend.
    There appears to be 2 female ribbon connectors below the top hard drive on the outboard edge closest to the removable side aluminum door panel.
    One female pin connectors is longer, the other shorter.
    One is a SATA connection the other is the power supply for the drive.
    I am trying to figure out whether I need a 7 pin connector hard drive or a 21 pin.....I will be getting a Seagate hard drive.
    All you need to know is SATA or Serial ATA. Plug it in and Mac OS X will take you right to Disk Utility to format it. Do a Erase w/Zero, format HFS+(journaled) The "Zeroing" will rewrite the drives bad sector map and make your writes considerably more reliable, it takes some time, but boy is it worth it! You can't do this later without completely erasing the drive. Video needs a good write source as they are very large files.

    SATA drives are plug n' play. Just what your G5 needs.
    However if your doing a lot of video I suggest a Apple Fiberchannel PCI card and a X-RAID. Because you need large storage space, redundancy of data and speed for lots of HD video. This comes at the price of a lot of drives and a very fast interface.
    The Raptors are fast, but they don't have a lot of storage space. The largest one at 10K RPM's has only 150GB of space and you need a Firmtek SATA PCI card to hook them up to G5's (excluding the Quad supposedly). So they make great boot drives and small storage drives.
    Of course it's possible to get a 8 bay external SATA enclosure, a FirmTex 8 port SATA PCI card and eight 150GB Raptors and have a total of 1200 GB of drive space. Which you could roll 4 drives as a RAID O (striped) for 600GB as a working disk and the other 4 drives as combined into one for 600GB of backup storage.
    Of course you can also use other larger drives with 16MB caches in the external enclosure but they run at 7,200 RPM's which would be fast enough if you striped them for a working disk.
    Everything depends upon how much GB's of data you intend to be using daily, and if time = money then speed is a big factor, and if a lot of files then storage space and for backup. Plus how much you can spend.
    If you need consulting services for a professional installation then your going to need someone to help you make the right decisions.
    Apple's X-RAID is pretty easy and they will help you get set up, but it costs considerable amount of money. If you knew a bit more of what you can reasonable expect you would be doing with HD, also if you knew a bit more about the technology, you could do things yourself.
    So you can either go through a couple year learning curve, hire somebody, or spend the money for a Apple X-RAID and have them walk you through the installation.
    Here is some resources.
    HDforIndies.com, Barefeats.com, Accelerate your Mac, MacGurus.com
    There are also a lot of Pro Mac video sites which you can google for and start learning. You could also ask in the Apple pro video forums what would be a good hardware configuration for your particular needs.

    Also searching for a local Mac user group my yield someone who can get a set up working for you.

  • Ram Upgrade...how many pins?

    So I've downloaded the manual for my macbook and it states that the ram is a 200 PIN card, but I can't seem to find 200 pins anywhere.
    I want to upgrade the ram in my macbook, everywhere I go only sell 204 pin and 240 pin. I know laptops take 204 pin rams, but according to the manual that won't work.
    Is the ram in the macbook a rare type that I must order directly from apple? Does the manual have a typo?
    Please help.
    Thanks!

    Try [Here|http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2>. There are other places but I like this one. They have pretty good pricing and they're tested and guaranteed.

  • How many pins have the ANSIC MANTIS and MITE each?

    I am using the PCI-MXI-2 and VXI-MXI-2.The core of the two modules is the ANSIC which is developed by NI.So I plan to learn how to use these two ANSICs.

    Hello laidesheng,
    Detailed knowledge of the MANTIS and MITE ASICs is not required in order to use NI's MXI-2 products, as you can use the NI-VXI driver for your programming needs.
    If you are looking for resources to develop your own MXI and VXI based products, then some good starting points are:
    National Instruments KnowledgeBase: What is the PCI-MXI-2 Driver Developer Kit?
    Also, you can find more information on the VXI specifications at the VXI Consortium webpage (http://www.vxi.org/)

  • Which firewire cable do I need?

    I have a imac g4. I am unsure if the firewire port on the back of my machine has 4 or 6 pins. It looks like it has 4. I need to know how many pins should be on each end of my firewire cable based on my particular imac. This firewire cable will be connecting to an external hard drive that supports both 6 pin 400 and 9 pin 800 firewire.

    4-pin FW ports are very small. You see them on video cameras and such. You're most likely to have a 6-pin FW 400 port - looks like a rectangle with one corner flattened.
    To be sure, go here:
    http://www.everymac.com/
    where you can get a detailed spec for your iMac.
    I just had a quick look, and all the iMac G4 FP specs I saw said FW 400 ports, which will be six-pin

  • Firewire Cable for TiBook to iMac 450 DV

    I need to connect my TiBook G4 867mHz to my iMac G3 450DV via firewire to run Disk Warrior on the iMac as it is not wanting to read the CD. The Powerbook reads it fine. The TiBook is running Tiger and the iMac is running Panther. I know what I need to do with Target and Host, the only thing I don't know is what kind of firewire cable, exactly, must I use to connect these two machines?
    Would anyone happen to know how many pin to pin, male/female, etc. I need?

    a brody,
    Thank you very much for your reply.

  • I need a firewire cable for my mac

    I have a JVC camcoder. I need to download my videos into my iMac. I had a firewire cable from many years ago back when it was firewire 1 I think. It does not seem to want to fit the firewire connection on this new Imac (mid 2010).
    I have searched the internet, but Im coming up empty. Anyone know where I can find a Firewire cable? The end that goes into the camcorder is a mini DV. I think this is the right model.

    Your Mid 2010 iMac has a FireWire 800 9-pin connector rather than the FireWire 400 6-pin connector that your older system had. Here's an example of the cable that your system probably needs. You can compare the pictures from the link to confirm.

  • Difference between Firewire Cable IEEE 1394-Firewire IEEE 1394a-IEEE 1394b

    I want to buy a 6 ft firewire cable 800 9-pin/9-pin to connect my Macbook Pro to an extrernal HD (G-Technology mini 500 GB)
    I'm not sure what all the different IEEE #'s mean- IEEE 1394, IEEE 1394a, IEEE 1394b
    Various reviews state not to buy cable that is all plastic at end since it breaks off. Some cables do not make good connection and fall out while others malfunction quickly.
    I have MacBook Pro(13 inch), Snow Leopard installed, OS X 10.6.2, 2.53. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Any suggestions which brand firewire I should buy with which IEEE?
    Thanks

    On the back of your G-drive you're likely to see the label firewire 800, I believe that is what that drive uses. So does your MBP.
    What you need is a firewire 1394b cable 9-pin to 9-pin, if you're worried about the brand you might try Cables-to-go, they sell good cable.
    http://www.cablestogo.com/productlist.asp?catid=612
    1394a is for the 400Mbps standard and the 1394b is for the 800Mbps standard.
    The firewire that is on your MBP is 1394b and it's backward compatible to 1394a devices. If you ever need to connect a device that is for 1394a (400Mbps) then you'll need a cable that is 9-pin on one end and 6 or 4-pin on the other, which ever of the two the device uses.

  • How many firewire drives can I daisy chain on the mac mini

    How many firewire g-drives can I daisy chain on my mac mini

    From personal experience, if they are bus powered portable drives,
    the answer is none.  For what ever reason, they are draw a lot of
    power and are probably near the edge of the bus powering specs.
    Then again, these were the fastest of all the portable FW drives that
    I have (Iomega and Seagate being the others), which may have
    something to do with it.
    I had also noticed an issue with them even with USB.  Plugging one
    into the Mini or even a powered USB hub would be fine, but 2 would cause
    both to be inaccessible, unless I used a couple of USB "Y" cables
    that would distribute the power across other ports.
    If they are externally powered, you could string a bunch.
