FYI:  Thunderbolt to Firewire Ingestion Works on MacBook Pros

For those who are wondering . . .
I just purchased a Retina Display MacBook Pro (mid-2012) runnning Mountain Lion.
I got a Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter to permit me to connect my Sony Camcorder.
I have an external Thunderbolt (Buffalo Mini Station) attached to the second Thunderbolt port.
Final Cut Studio (FCP7) works great with this arrangement.  I was concerned that the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter would not work with the camera, since Firewire to USB does not work.  But so far, I have discovered no issues.
Just thought I'd post this to the community, since I didn't see anything quite on point when I looked.

Gary:
I'm sorry for the delay in responding.  I've been in the waters of Cozumel getting footage to send to Final Cut.
This is just the ordinary Thunderbolt to Firewire cable available at the Apple store for about $30.  Apple part no.
MD464ZM/A.  It worked flawlessly getting video footage into my new MBPr.

  • Any word on a firewire to thunderbolt cable?  Got a new MacBook Pro and can't do any work on it til I can get to my data that's stored on my firewire-accessible external hard drive!

    Any word on a firewire to thunderbolt cable?  Got a new MacBook Pro and no way to access my data because my data is stored on an external hard drive accessible only by firewire! 

    This is really starting to be annoying.  Apple said this adapter would be available in July. 
    Of course we could always buy the Thunderbolt Display.  For $999.  Complete with USB 2 ports.  That's not why we bought your MBP-Retina, Guys.  We expected connectivity -- high speed connectivity -- as you promised.
    I also had an Apple store rep tell me that the adapter would be availble in September.  Hate to say it but it feels like Apple is resorting to selling vaporware.  It's a page out of the Bill Gates play book.

  • Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    Thunderbolt display not working on Macbook Pro - previously the display did work

    I have upgraded ML but when the MBP tries to restart with the upgrade the MBP does not restart so I susapect the ML upgrade is not complete ? When you refer to 10.8.5 supplemental is this a separate upgrade ? When I connect the Thunderbolt to the MBP the Thunderbolt charges my MBP & I can play music from iTunes via the Thunderbolt. It is only the display that is not working on the Thunderbolt

  • Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro

    Cinema Display (clear) with DVI/ADC box doesn't work with MacBook Pro when plugged in with a dvi to mini dvi cable. Any ideas what to do to make it work? I lugged the 23" 2500 miles into the wilderness and I need help

    Okay, here's an update: the DVI to ADC adapter does work with the Apple displays that I have tried, but it won't work with the Formac. I have tried multiple time to contact them, but to no avail... they don't even respond to threats of posting my opinion of them, which is this:
    DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM FORMAC! They make quality products, but their customer service is a big time joke! They won't take care of you.

  • Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

    Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
    Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
    Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
    Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
    Help, please...

    Hello Smis,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    I have also a Minolta Multiscan with a Firewire IEEE 1394 cable.
    I cannot use it on the MBP as it is a Firewire 800 but after looking into the solutions on the net, I figured out I need an adaptor from Firewire IEEE to Firewire 800...isn't it?
    Yes, you'll need a FW 800 to 400 cable. The device will run at FW400 speed. Here's one example: http://www.amazon.com/LaCie-FireWire-Cable-130849-Orange/dp/B001NXDQAY

  • Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it?

    Is anyone having a problem connecting 400 firewire thru an adapter for the 800 firewire port on a Macbook Pro 2011? It does a kernel panic every time I connect it. Is there a "proper way" to connect it? Just in case it makes a difference I am trying to hook up an Avid Mbox Pro for Pro tools.

    What is the part number and model of Firewire adapter?
    I have used them in the past without any problems whatsoever.

  • MacBook Air Superdrive?? Does it work with MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I need an external Superdrive. Does the MacBook Air Superdrive work with MacBook Pro??

    No, it does not (at least, not without opening the drive and modifying the internal components).
    External optical drives from Sony and LaCie work well with the MBP. Here's ONE EXAMPLE, here's ANOTHER EXAMPLE, both from Amazon.

    Thanks!

    It should. First, turn on BlueTooth on the computer. In BT preferences be sure to check the option to look for all devices. Your remote should be picked up and a notice asking if you want to Pair it with the computer. Select Yes. Once it is paired it can be used to control your computer.

  • Entire 5tgb row dosen't work on macbook pro

    My entire 5tgb row dosen't work on macbook pro 13". Anyone have a solution to make it work. It start 2 days ago.

    I don't know of any software problem that would disable only that column of keys on any keyboard.
    But I guess anything is possible.
    Just who are those people that say it is software.
    Upgrading the os won't fix a hardware problem.
