My thunderbolt to firewire adapter doesn't fit the firewire???

I bought the apple store "Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter" today.  I'm trying to put my old iMac in Target Mode and move old files.  The firewire cord doesn't fit into it???  I'm sitting here feeling pretty stupid and stumped?

Your firewire cord is the wrong size.  Apple's cord is 800 port.  What size is your cord?

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

  • Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

    hello there!
    i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
    my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
    my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
    i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
    ...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
    what can i do?
    thanks in advance, guys!
    j.

    hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
    over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...
    http://www.propaganda-pixel.de/mbp/mbp.htm
    in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
    when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
    the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
    i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
    so my questions are:
    - shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
    - shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
    why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
    thank you all!

  • Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

    Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
    I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
    When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
    What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    Hi Peter,
    Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
    When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
    Thank you!!!

  • A5 booklet  "doesn't fit the current [A4] paper size". What's wrong?

    Hi,
    Sorry, I'm new to InDesign, and am having a bit of a freakout over a booklet I need to complete by this afternoon.
    The page sizes are all A5. I try to print with A4 paper settings and the preview looks okay, but says underneath "the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size". Obviously A5, A4, it should fit perfectly, as  it looks to in the preview. When I actually print it the pages are slightly jumbled - 3 with 24  (of 24 pages), 4 with 23 etc., with the centrefold 12-13 split (12-15, 13-14).
    Any idea what's going on here? Is it something to do with crop areas? I can't work it out.
    Thank you! An enormous amount of gratitude to anyone who can help me fix this.

    OH HEY  it's suddenly saying it's fine now, even though the  only thing I've changed is to add a  bit  of  text, nothing that should fundamentally affect the structure. Thanks InDesign!

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter doesn't fit my aluminum iMac

    I previously had a 17" white iMac (pre-Intel) machine, and about 6 months ago I bought the mini-DVI to video adapter so I could connect it to my television. Worked like a charm. But I recently bought a new aluminum iMac, and the adaptor doesn't fit into the mini-DVI port in the back of the machine. It appears the adaptor and port are both male ends.
    Has the port changed on the aluminum iMacs? The product description for the adaptor on Apple's website says it works with iMac (Intel Core Duo). Isn't the aluminum iMac an Intel Core Duo? I can't figure out why it doesn't fit and which cable I'm supposed to be using instead.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hi Paul
    Yes the Intel iMac [Spec's|http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html] call for the (M9319G/A) Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter!
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M93 19G/A
    The iBook, eMac, or iMac G5 use the Mini-VGA to Video adapter.

  • Mini dvi to vga adapter doesn't fit Mac Book port

    I bought a "mini dvi to vga" adapter at the local Apple store at the mall and it does not fit the mini DVI connection on my Mac Book. What is the correct mini dvi configuration or part number for the Mac Book Mini dvi port?

    It may be. I threw the bag out so I can't check. I was in a hurry and thought I picked up the right adapter but guess not.
    Thanks for your help. Know anyone that needs a mini vga to vga adapter?

  • Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter doesn't work

    Just plugged in a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into MacBook Pro 15" 2.7GHz i7, OS 10.7.4
    It is recognized correctly by System Profiler, but not in System Preferences - the Adapter just isn't shown in Network.
    What is still needed?
    Thanks for Answers!

    Got this update:
    All Thunderbolt-equipped Mac computers support this adapter. This adapter requires OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Thunderbolt-equipped Macs released prior to June, 2012, require the installation of Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 to use this adapter.

  • Long text doesn't fit the window exactly

    Hi friends,
    in PO smartforms i have included the header text of PO.
    the problem is the long text doesn't fit to the window exactly i.e.,
    when we enter the text in PO in the header a line can contain only 60 characters approximately where as in my smartforms it can contain more than that.
    so in the display of smart form i get lot of space in the right side and i get the remaining part of text in the next line.
    regards,
    Saravan raj

    hi,
    what u have told is correct but we can't expect the end user to do it each time when they paste the long text.
    is there any option to bring it by default.
    regards,

  • HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

    I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!
