Firewire cable not fitting into the Mac Pro Port

Hi I've got a Sony video camera that's about 7 years, it uses Mini DV. I recently filmed my sister's College graduation that I wanted to view and transfer to my computer. I just purchased a fire wire cable to hook up the camcorder to my mac Pro. The cable fit's perfectly into the Video camera but not the Mac Pro. Did I purchase the wrong cable? It's a Belkin 6-pin to 4-pin Cable. This is the cable that I bought http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F3N401-06-ICE-4-Pin-6-Pin-FireWire/dp/B00005NIMR/re f=sr11?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1243482027&sr=8-1. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes - the cable you purchased is FW400, the new Mac Pro's use FW800.
It does seem like a strange omission not to have at least one FW400 port...
I have seen some adapter that hook onto the FW400 end, so that you can insert into a FW800. They do tend to be expensive in the area where I live.

Which DVD drvies will fit into the Mac Pro?

I have two DVD drives from my PC that will not open and close in the mac pro due to the tray being about 1mm to low.
I have removed the front bezels off the drives but they are just a bit too low.
The drives are:
Sony dw-d18a and Sony dw-Q28a
Anyone know some drives that will fit?

The simplest is to match the OEM drives that Apple are using. I know that they use the Pioneer DVR-111D as well a Sony model. Just a search in these forms will give you a specific model.

I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection. The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection. If this is the case, you need this adapter.

Firwire cable not fitting into new imac 24"!

My imac 24" has just arrived...
I bought a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable to migrate my stuff from my G4.
The cable fits into the G4 but not the imac 24"!!!!
What am i doing wrong?
Also,can i migrate stuff later after playing around withthe new imac?
thanks in advance!

So is it too late to use the firewire to migrate my stuff?
The only things i definatley will migrate will be documents,photos and itunes library.
No, it's not too late. You can still connect the two systems via Firewire Target Disk Mode and use the Migration Assistant (in your iMac's Applications -> Utilities folder) to bring over all your documents. Or you can just drag them over manually.
I don't recommend migrating applications from a PowerPC-based Mac to an Intel-based one. It's rare, but sometimes it has happened that the Migration Assistant overwrites a previouly-installed Intel-native app with the PowerPC-based one. I don't think Migration Assistant will copy all the extra folders for Adobe's apps anyway, though I could be wrong. I'd suggest just reinstalling Photoshop and Word on the new system.

LOOK! I installed Lion but the firewire is NOT recognized on my Mac Pro!

I installed LION on my Mac Pro, 2009, 2x 2.26 8 core and BOOM! I could no longer use my studio which is run by a Tascam FW1884 DAW control. When I hooked it up to my macbook ALSO running 10.7, it worked fine! UGH! Then I called tech support and they said I have to go to Genius Bar, I aint got the time to drag my studio down there so I went back to Snow Leopard. Anyone else have this issue?

This is a communication problem.

Tascam FW 1884 users? - Gearslutz.com
A-B-C and you/me/us caught in the middle.
The number of times this happens makes it normal, so the right hand doesn't know what the left does.
There are huge labs, they don't need yours.
Adobe: well, Flash 10.3 wasn't working with the versions of Lion that we had to work with, so we publised "known issues" K.B. and now have a correction blog post.
Usually it is the reverse, something works, then breaks. Why? internal build changes.
Booting from Lion DVD will not work because of 3rd party hardware also.
F6 anyone? so I can load that SI 3132 driver for my PCIe SATA?

After errors with disk partition, I removed Windows from my iMac. Now when I start my computer it goes into a black screen and not straight into the Mac area like it used to, unless I hold Alt straight away to give me the option. Any help?

Hi,
Sorry, I'm new to the community, so apologies if I'm repeating myself.
OK, so I tried to install Windows Vista onto my iMac with the disk partition. Everything was going fine and it wasn't until last minute, when it was installed that an error came up saying that this can only be done with Windows 7. After this error, I couldn't access any errors of my iMac and when I shut down and restarted my computer, it automatically logged into Windows.
So after a panic, I rang Apple Care and the lady helped me log into my apple area, delete Windows from my iMac, and all was restored.
However, now when I shut down my computer and boot it back up, I think my iMac is trying to log into Windows areas that no longer exist. It loads up a black screen and doesn't move from there. To log into my Apple area, I have to do the whole process of holding Alt immediately after I switch the power on and access the Mac drive and log in that way.
It's beginning to become a real pain and I'm paranoid this process is going to damage my computer. Any advice on how to restore logging-in back to it's former glory when I first purchased it?
Thanks

Solved it. Thank you very much for that!

When I upgraded my Mac Pro HDs I lost the capcity for 2 monitors. One monitor works fine but the second one is not "seen" by the Mac Pro. Help?

My MacPro is a dual quad core 2.8 intell processor system with 6 gig of RAM and 4 HDs. I recently upgraded the HDs from 500 gig each to 2 TB each. I did that by copying each existing hard drive to a new hard drive and then inserting the new hard drive where the copied drive had been. I followed all of the instructions for the OX system that came after copying and replacing the drive with the OX on it. Unfortunately now I can no longer use the 2 monitors that I used to use on the system. One monitor works fine, the second on is not found by the OX system and simply won't respond or receive a signal from the computer. Any ideas?

Have you tried a NVRAM / PRAM reset?
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

I recently bought a mac book air (mid 2013) and the power adapter that came with it does not fit into the port.

The port has a small silver knob next to the pins that is preventing the adapter from connecting. I've never seen a port that looks like this and the tech specs say that the port should be a magsafe 2. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've included a picture

10g form canvas not fitting into the window....migrated from 6i

I have some forms that I migrated from 6i to 10g on an XP machine. The entire form is not being displayed. I increased the size of the applet window in the ODS environment. This did indeed get larger, but did not rectify the problem. I then tried to increase the size of the canvases and windows on the form. The only thing that this accomplished, as you might expect, is that it just added scroll bars to the form so that I can see the entire form by adding a scroll bar so that I could scroll to see the entire form. What I need to do is to display the entire form without having scroll bars displayed. Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanx. Paul

Is your form displaying inside the browser window or in a separate window?
If you maximize the window, is your form still being cut off (displaying blank space to the right or at the bottom)?

I have bought an Iphone 4 16g but the Tmobile Sim card which fitted my IPhone 3 does not fit into the IPhone 4

If anyone has any advice or information I would be very grateful. It appears that the Sim "holder" is too small for my Sim card used in the IPhone 3.

You should get a new micro-SIM from T-Mobile. It is possible to cut down a standard SIM, but often that leads to erratic behavior or destruction of the SIM.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Can I take the old hard drive from a Mac Pro G5 and put it into a Mac Pro Dual Xeon?

Hello,
I have an old Mac Pro G5 that still runs fine but the video card is bad so you can't see anything. Can I take the hard drive out of the G5 and put it into the Mac Pro Xeon without losing the data on it?
Thanks!

The storage bays are physically different from those in a G5. G5's had two bays in ther upper reat of the chassis, the Mac Pros have four slots running front-to-rear two thirds of the way up the chassis.
But as The Hatter says, you can use the G5 drives but may need to "manage" the data transfers.

Can I put my iMac HD into my Mac Pro?

I recently purchased a new 1 TB drive for my Late 2006 iMac, installed lion and transferred all my data from an older computer. I just recently was given a Mac Pro Early 2009 unit with only 640 GB in there. I'd like to use my new 1TB as it is compatible with the Mac Pro, and I was wondering if I could remove the 1 TB drive from the iMac and merely install into the Mac Pro as the primary drive with the OS? The goal being to not have to reinstall everything on a new drive in the Mac Pro, and then run a migration of over 400 GB. Would this work, what are my risks?
If this would work, I'd just wipe the 640 GB and put in the second slot and use for additional storage or backup.

All SATA 3.5 in form-factor drives are compatible, and SATA 2.5 in drives can be used with an adapter for proper mounting.
The Mac Pro, with its multiple drive bays, can get a big performance boost by establishing a "Boot Drive". This is a drive with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files for paging/swap. User files are moved off to a data-only drive or drives, and only the Admin account used for actual administration (not daily use) is left on the boot drive for emergencies. You may want to think about transitioning to a Boot Drive setup in the future.
