Firewire to connect iMac and MacBook Pro

My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) is full, and I want to transfer pictures and videos to my fairly empty iMac (Mid 2007) with a firewire.  Which firewire do I need?

You need a cable with a FireWire 800 port on one end and either a FireWire 400 or 800 port on the other.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • Connection iMac and macbook pro retina

    I am newbie to mac and apple computers. I just bought the mac book pro retina display. My lab owns an iMac which I have no idea what the model is (probably before mid 2011). I am trying to use my iMac as an external display from my macbook pro retina. Do you think it would work with mini display cable or thunderbolt cable. I am trying to avoid paying for thunderbolt cable as they are so much more expensive than mini display port. Thanks

    Although Target Display Mode was offered on some previous iMacs, I understand that it is not available on the Retina 5K (supposedly because the current DisplayPort standard doesn't support a high enough refresh rate to drive a 5K display).

  • Can i connect imac and macbook by usb?

    can i connect imac and macbook pro by using USB clable? i just want pass my files and music from macbook to imac.
    thank you

    You can't connect both computers by USB. The easiest way is to connect them using a FireWire cable (if your iMac and your MacBook Pro have got FireWire ports), and put your MacBook in target disk mode (start your MacBook holding the T key).
    Doing this, the iMac will detect the MacBook's hard disk as an external disk, so you can easily access to your files from Finder and copy the data you want to the iMac's hard disk

  • IMac and Macbook Pro no longer connecting to the Wifi?

    Hi there,
    I've been in London this weekend, only to return home to find issues connecting to my wifi. Weirdly, it's only the iMac and Macbook Pro having trouble, everything else is connecting fine e.g iPad, Phone, Android Tablet etc.
    I'm getting disconnected around every 20 seconds and cannot figure it out! It's so frustrating as I'm wondering if there's been an update released for OS X that it has downloaded recently? Especially seeing that when I run windows from bootcamp on my iMac, it doesn't disconnect. And I also don't believe it's an issue with the hub.
    Has anyone got any suggestions? I've tried removing the network and re-adding, help for about an hour but still not much use.
    Thanks, Matt

  • Connection failures between iMac and Macbook Pro

    I'm experiencing frequent connection failures over my wi-fi network between my iMac and Macbook Pro on an otherwise strong, stable network. I can connect both of my computers to the Airport Time Capsule that I use as my wireless router without a problem, but for some reason I get connection failures between the computers say, 50% of the time. Sometimes it works fine, others it just hangs before giving me an error message. Any suggestions?
    OS 10.9.3 on both machines
    Apple Airport Extreme Time Capsule
    iMac, 3.06GHz i3 (2010)
    Macbook Pro Retina, 2.4 GHz i7 (1st Gen)

    Hi jt in nyc,
    Some checks:
    Use Airport Utility on one of the machines
    - Click on the Time Capsule ( enter password if prompted )
    - Click on the Edit button
    Under Airport Utility -> Wireless -> Wireless Options
    Are the Time Capsule Wireless options set correctly?
    - Country -> you know this, change if it is not
    - 2.4GHz and 5GHz Channel set to Automatic
    - Click on Cancel button to return to the Airport Utility graphic diagram.
    - Click on the Time Capsule
    - Click on your machines listed beside wireless clients
    Are the machines reporting an excellent quality at different distances from the Time Machine?

  • Airport extreme loses internet connection all the time with imac and macbook pro

    I keep losing the internet connection with airport extreme on my imac and macbook pro but NOT with my pc

    Ok, so when you say you lose internet connection, is it disconnecting from your wireless network so there are no bars?
    And are there usually full bars?

    thank you, I have the adaptors so glad that would work.  I just heard adaptors burn out often.  So Just thought for my main iMac computer, a plug would be best.  I will get one once I move.
    Any other suggestions or things I should know about apple products in Ireland.  I know there are no Apple stores there.
    An adaptor doesn't burn out. It merely serves as a means to connect the power prongs on your device to the power supply.
    I believe you are thinking of a transformer, which you do not need. A transformer converts one voltage to another.
    You don't need to do that as the power supply of modern electronics can take almost any worldwide voltage.
    Look at the label on the device. It should indicate the input power acceptable of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
    Additionally, I found the adapters cheaper in the UK than I found them in the US. They were available in most supermarket chains. I wasn't in Ireland, so I can't say one way or the other.
    If you have something that doesn't have that input power spec, it would require a transformer.
    On other items like electric clocks or things with motors, you can connect them up to a transformer and the voltage will be correct, but the frequency may not. For clocks, that will cause them to not keep time well. For motors, they will burn out.

  • Imac and Macbook pro can no longer see one another

    I'm not sure why, but all since I upgraded to Yosemite, I can no longer see my iMac on my Macbook Pro and vice versa. I could always see the computer that I needed to connect to in finder, or I could connect with my iCloud password. As of today, I can no longer access my iMac from my Macbook Pro and that's a problem. If someone could provide directions (dumbed down version) explaining how to connect the computers from scratch, I would greatly appreciate it. I am fine with setting it up again but I can't recall how I did it.  Thanks so  much. I did upgrade both my iMac and MacBook pro to Yosemite over the weekend.

  • What's the best way to share my Aperture and FCPX projects between an iMac and MacBook Pro?

    Greetings,
    I own both an iMac and MacBook Pro and I'm interested in figuring out the best way to have access to my iTunes, Aperture and Final Cut Pro X files not only when I'm at home using the iMac, but when I'm out and about with the MBP.
    I'm sure there are others among us who require a similar setup so I was hoping you guys could share with me how you solved this little problem, and also inform me of any potential negatives for your method so that I'm well prepared. Thanks.

    Best is a subjective term, as it will ultimately come down to preference. The fastest however, would be to wait until they market has a few thunderbolt drives available for purchase...
    But like the first poster stated, a firewire 800 drive, would be the more convenient choice for now. Or you could set the shared folder on your iMac to be avaible on your network and use it to allow your MBP to access it wirelessly.
    Obviously whatever you change, just save it back to the same folder on the iMac. Keep in mind it will not be as fast as the first suggestion (unless it is a wired network), but may be usefull for smaller files.
    However, you should have everthing backed up via an external drive, that is always useful...

  • Home sharing iMac and MacBook Pro: not all songs are playable

    Hello
    I set up Home Sharing between my iMac and MacBook Pro so that I could stream the music that's on the iMac to the MacBook Pro. On the MBP there are no songs, all of them are in Apple Lossless format on my iMac. I first tried to use "‘share my library on my local network" but because I wanted the play count to go up as well I chose for "Home Sharing". Setting up was simple. After all preferences were adjusted, I opened iTunes on the MBP and it immediately found the shared iMac library. There's now only one problem: not all songs are playable. Some don't even start. How is this possible and what do I need to do to resolve this?
    FYI: the iMac is connected via ethernet to my cable modem which sends a wireless Wi-Fi signal to the MBP. Signal quality is excellent.
    Also, is it possible that playcount is only available with Home Sharing and not with "share my library on my local network"?
    Thanks!

    It very well could be the antivirus app, most are intrusive and debilitate rather than enhance performance and should be removed using the developers instructions. You haven't really told us anything useful such as any settting you may have changed. However if you began working backwards resetting any changes and uninstalling the apps added since the performance issue started then you probably will find your issue. 

  • IMac and Macbook Pro WoW gaming

    Hi!
    I currently own a macbook, and I need to upgrade if I want to play WoW in a decent quality.
    However, I could NOT find any decent information about performance on the new iMac and Macbook Pro machines.
    Would it be possible that if any owner that plays WoW could set graphics to Highest possible settings and post their frames per second in Dalaran for example? Mac details and specs would be very appreciated, specially for the graphics card.
    Maybe this is not the place for this post, but I hope someone help me out on this. =)
    Thanks!

    The server and type of connection are also important. I get pretty bad latency over WiFi, for example, and the Gul Dan server has been really slow of late. I have 20M down / 5M up to the house and 801.11g router. With my 2007 MBP over wireless (good connection), I generally get in the mid 40's to 50's in the Outlands, but got 6 when I logged in last night (by the time I logged out, it had crept up to about 35).
    On my 2007 24" iMac (C2D w/ the NVidia option -- last of the white models), I generally get 100-110 at 1900x1200 -- and that's using 100Mbps ethernet to the switch plugged into the ONT.

    WD My Passport 1TB USB external drive randomly ejects from my iMac and MacBook Pro.
    The drive is approximately 4 years old.  When the drive is plugged in, I can see the data.  It appears to be working properly.  The only problem is that everyone of my Apple Machines are ejecting it.   Several years ago, this drive connected to Mac machines with no problems.   I have tried two separate USB cords.  I have updated the firmware.  I have tried it on my MacBook, two different Macbook Pro's, and my iMac.  
    All give the same result of random ejection of the drive and the error message of:
    Disk Not Ejected Properly
    Eject "1TB Passport HD" before disconnecting or turning......
    Searching through the web, it seems this is an common/known problem.   Does anyone know the solution?
    Thanks,

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
