Need firewire cable information
I need to purchase a Firewire cable compatible with an iMac PPC and iMac Intel in order to migrate user account from old iMac to new iMac. Is there a special cable for this? My local electronics store has straight thru firewire from 400 to 800 they are not sure that is exactly what I need.
See this How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
If the connectors on the cable match your two Mac's and the cable is FireWire it will work. Just check the above link to make sure your older system will work with target disk mode (it should but just to be on the safe side).

To capture with Intensity HDMI, will I also need firewire cable?
I've got an Intensity card on the way and want to capture live video from a Canon HV20 to ProRes over a 10 meter HDMI cable.
I noticed on the BlackMagic site that it says;
Device Control: None. Use FireWire if capturing from HDMI cameras.
Do I also need a 10 meter FireWire cable - or can I just tell FCP6 to capture what is heading its way from the HDMI cable?You only need a Firewire connection if you want to control your camera/deck from within FCP. If you do not have a FireWire connection then you will have to start and stop the camera/deck manually. Just make sure that you select the appropriate input and output modes for the Intensity card in the Utilities panel.

Please help, I need urgently to transfer information through firewire cable and I could not remember how it was that I do it. I've connected the computers and restarted one of them by pushing T on startup but it did not work.
Shut down both Macs. Connect them via FW cable.
On the Mac you want to copy FROM. Start up but make sure you are holding down the T key as soon as you press the power button. And keep holding down the T key until the FireWire emblem appears on the screen - that's the indicator that the Mac is in Target Disk Mode (TDM). Note: if you release the T key too soon the Mac won't go into Target Disk Mode.
Start up the second Mac. The first Mac will appear in the Finder as a disk. You can use the Finder to copy whatever you want from the Mac that's in TDM.
When you're done, shut down both Macs. The Mac that's in Target Disk Mode can be shut down by holding down the power button until it turns off. -
What firewire cable do I need to transfer data from a 2010 macbook to 2014 macbook
What firewire cable do I need to transfer data from a 2010 macbook to 2014 macbook
You would need a Firewire 800-800 (9-pin) cable and a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

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 -
I need to boot up a mac book via firewire cable
I need to start up my macbook via a firewire cable from my imac. is this possible and what cable do I need exactly.
Boot the iMac in Target Disk Mode: hold the T key during startup
Use Startup Manager on the MacBook: hold an Option key during startup, and select the iMac's disk.
You need a FireWire cable with connections that match your hardware, either FW400 or 800 or both.
This may or may not work, since the OS on your iMac may not contain the correct drivers for the MacBook. -
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.

PhillipYour 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.

Do I need a firewire cable to transfer files to my new iMac?
Hi, I have a new iMac coming soon and I want to know the best way to transfer my files, settings etc from my iBook G4 to the new comp. We have wireless at home- can I set up some kind of network? Or do I need to buy a firewire cable and use Migration Assistant? If so, which cable? Thank you
Hmm. I hadn't heard about the problems people have been having. Anyway, yeah, it's probably better to try Migration Assistant with the FireWire cable. From what I've heard (I haven't had to USE Migration Assistant yet; first-time Mac user, and haven't needed a new one yet), Migration Assistant does a good job getting everything switched over, and it's only method is FireWire. So, yeah. LOL. I think that's your best bet.
I'm so jealous. I have a PowerBook G4 (the model RIGHT before the last model; I should have waited a few weeks!), and now I want at least a MacBook. The cheapest MacBook is now BETTER, in many ways, than my PowerBook, besides the obvious things like screen size. AND it's about half the price I got my PowerBook for. This is CRAZY! Haha. -

I have an iMac and a Macbook. I need to transfer applications & files from the Macbook to the iMac. I guess I should use Migration Assistant, but don't know what Firewire cable to use...4 pin, 6 pin, etc. Thanks
Sorry to butt in, butt I bought a firewire cable because I now own two macs. I wanted to transfer photos from the Imac to the Macbook. I started the transfer process, however, I might be confused as to what I am really transferring. It was asking me about which applications I wanted to transfer and which user accounts. ?? Then, does all this information delete from my Imac? Help!!

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro battery will not charge after plugging in firewire cable shut down computer
I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro with Lion installed.
I was running off battery, and I went to plug in a firewire cable, not plugged into anything, and when I inserted it, the computer shut off.
The computer would not turn on again without being plugged into the AC adaptor. The magsafe charger shows green, but the computer says not charging. The battery is showing 57%, but the indicator lights will only light up when AC charger is connected..
I have let it sit off, and plugged in for a couple hours, and nothing chages, and let it sit overnight not plugged in, but nothing.
I have read other forums about the same issue,, it seems like its a common issue, and some have said what it could be, but no one said what it IS.
I have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but to no avail.
When i plug in the AC adaptor, the computer immediately turns on (which I find kond of funny), and I am able to turn it off normally, and it will stay off, and I can also turn it on if the charger has been connected from pervious.

I am trying to watch a tv show that I purchased into I-tunes. I have the cable and it hooks to the TV okay. The TV shows the regular apple screen that looks like the universe screen - like when it boots up or is doing an upgrade on the OS. I can't get the image to go from the laptop to the TV. I tried under displays and it shows the TV as a display but I can't get the image on the TV.......Please help.

I need to know which MacBook Pro you have. Only mid-2010 and later MBP's transmit sound through MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. I have no information about the Mac Pro, so you might want to go to that Forum and ask there. -
Need help.
The DCR-350e is a miniDV camcorder. It has a FireWire port, but it's not on the camera itself, it's on the cradle (aka "Handycam Station") that should have come with your camcorder. You need to insert the camera into the cradle in order to capture video via FireWire.
Here's a link to the Owners Manual. See p. 142 for a diagram that shows the DV (iLink) port on the cradle.
You also need an appropriate cable to connect to your MacBook Pro. Check your MBP to see what port(s) it has:
Some 2012 MBPs have a FW800 port, in which case you need a 4-pin to 9-pin FW cable like this one.
Some 2012 MBPs only have a Thunderbolt port, in which case you need the Apple Thunderbolt-FireWire Adapter in addition to the FireWire cable.
