Need help with firewire problem with white macbook to new MBP...

Hello...I purchased a new MBP 13.3 inch with retina display a week ago because my old white macbook from 2008 has a cracked screen, rendering it unusable.  I would very much liek to get some files off of it and onto my new MBP or onto an external drive.  I bought the firewire to thunderbolt apple adapter, but I then saw I need ANOTHER cord or adapter to go from the old macbook to the adapter.  Is this doable?  What is the best one to use?  are they all the same and which one will fit the adapter and the right end fit my old Macbook?  So confusing and it's been hard to try to find an answer online.  I am assuming I can boot the old Macbvook into Target mode and transfer the data.  Thanks for any help.

This is the other cable and adapter you'll need http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7990ZM/A/moshi-firewire-800-cable-with-firewi re-400-to-800-adapter?fnode=51
You may be able to fine it cheaper somewhere else though.

  • Need Help, crazy HDV Problem with Final Cut

    Hi Guys, first thanks for looking my problem.
    I have a new Macbook Pro 2,4Ghz with 4GB RAM and Leopard 10.5.4
    So also I have Final Cut Studio 1 updated on 5.1.4.
    My problem: As i captured HDV Material i saw in Quicktime, that there are many fragments, more terrible then hdv compression.In Final Cut 5 the same. So i was looking for an other Mac, so i've found an G5 also with Final Cut 5.1.4 and Tiger OS. But there i saw nothing, no fragments, all good(same material).
    So i think its a problem with between macbook pro,leopard, hdv and final cut 5.1.4
    Can anyone help me, im also able to give you a screenshot with the fragmets. There are very strong to see in the grey colors.
    Thanks

  • Need help for a problem with Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet and LR5

    When using the advanced spor removal tool in LR5 using the pen of a Bamboo tablet it only goes in straight lines and reacts very sluggish!
    When I use finger input on the same tablet (usingit then as a touchpad), the tool behaves normally and very responsive. If I go in any direction or try to paint an area it just follow and updates instanlty.
    Is it an LR5 bug or problem with the pen tablet drives?!

  • Need Help some WPA2 problems with only certain Macs

    I've done some searching on the various forums here but can't quite find something that fits the issues I'm having.
    We've got 4 Macs on a home wireless network. The specific models are:
    iMac 20" Core2Duo
    12" PB 1.33Ghz
    12" iBook 1.2Ghz
    Mac Mini G4 1.42 Ghz
    We use to run WPA on a D-Link router (DI-624) and everyone could connect just fine. Then with 10.4.8 all of the sudden my iMac started to have major issues connecting to the wireless network. I did a bunch of reading and found most people saying it was related to using WPA instead of WPA2.
    So I went ahead and updated my firmware on the router (it now handles WPA2) and am in the process of getting all the computer back online. I've changed both the network name and the passphrase (and am using WPA2 Personal with AES) and have then set up the new network name along with WPA2 Personal and the correct passhphrase as a Preferred Network on all the machines.
    However...
    Only the iMac connects to the new WPA2 network.
    Both laptops and the Mini have an AirPort Extreme card with firmware version 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18).
    What gives? From what I've read these airport extreme cards should be able to work with WPA2. Oh and all the machines are running 10.4.9.

  • Hi - I am new here: I need help and advice on the White Macbook - thanks.

    Hi all,
    I'm a new member to this forum + I am soon to be a new user of the Macbook.
    I have ordered my new White 2.16 Macbook with an upgraded 2GB RAM & an upgraded 16GB HDD.
    I have some questions which I would like answered please:
    1) How likely is it that my macbook will get the cracks near the wrist rests?
    2) How likely is it that my white macbook will discolour? Are the latest 2007 range also facing discolouration like last years models? How soon does the discolouration start to show?
    3) Is the macbook a SOLID build? Or does it feel cheap when you touch and feel it?
    4) How likely is it that the outer glossy body will get stratched? I remember the previous Ipods were poor quality and got stratched even by normal use or by putting it in your EMPTY pocket.
    5) How likely is it that I will encounter hardware issues?
    6) Is the Macbook AS GOOD AS Apple say it is?
    Reason I am asking all these questions is because I am investing quite abit of money in a never before used item and with a company who I have never dealt with.
    But having read all the issues and problems with apple products one has to ask these simple questions.
    I mean even if you go out and buy a real cheapo laptop you would almost never come accross these poor quality issues in such a short time period has Apple users are stating.
    Thanks, I look forward to the answers.
    PC   Windows Vista   Awaiting delivery of my new White Macbook: 2.16GHz - Intel Core 2 Duo - 2GB memory - 160GB hard drive.

    1) It's impossible to guess the likelihood of cracks. We don't have the numbers.
    2) Discolouration seems to have been a problem specific to some earlier ones.
    3) The MacBook is solidly built, but still feels more fragile than a MacBook Pro or even an iBook.
    4) the outside plastic is easily scratched.
    5) impossible to say, we don't have the numbers
    6) Yes, it is that good. Great computer.
    Any question you wrote which includes the words likely or likelihood is impossible for users to answer meaningfully, since we don't have access to any good numbers. Just from watching this discussion board, it might appear that cracks and discoloration are likely, but since Apple has sold millions of these things, these issues might really be measured as a small fraction of a percent. We just can't know.

  • Need help solving a problem with recording

    hello im using a korg k49 midi controller with garagband. whenever i record the instrument becomes "poppy" and the sound cuts in and out, almost like little click noises. does anyone know a solution to this problem? help would be appreciated

    I have the same problem, except I'm trying to record guitar through a TASCAM US-122.
    My theories:
    1. Bad TASCAM drivers.
    2. Leopard bug.
    3. Garageband bug.
    Some people suggest that things are better if you turn off your airport.
    Rebooting and restarting Garageband can help.
    So far, nothing is working for me.

  • Need Help Fast Re: Problems with capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

    I am working on a project with a deadline.  I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4.  My camera is a Sony Digital Video Recorder DCR-HC26.  My computer is a Dell with OS of Windows Vista.  I have been capturing numerous clips from hundreds of mini digital video cassettes.  Yesterday, I attempted to capture from a Radio Shack Mini DV Metal Evaporated mini DV digital videocassette.  For whatever reason it will not capture.  I have never used one of these tapes before.  Could it be the tape?  After I click on "Capture," the screen shows NO PICTURE of sound, however, it plays on the camera.  It can't be the camera settings because all the other tapes work. . .  Any advice?

  • !NEED HELP ASAP! Problem with syncing 4th generation ipod touch

Now my ipod has all my music and apps on it and music cloud which it didnt have before lol.  But thank you for the help its greatly appreciated .

    Lindsay,
    Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
    Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
    It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
    I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
    Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

  • Need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS

    We need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS.
    Earlier we were using ColdFusion 8 with IIS 6 for one of our application.  This application internally calls struts. After upgrading to ColdFusion 10 struts calls are not loading. We get 404 error.
    In ColdFusion 8 struts were configured using  actions extension .do in IIS from this file-
    C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll.
    But in ColdFusion 10 this file is not present as ColdFusion 10 uses Tomcat in place of Jrun.
    Also there is no information in ColdFusion log file.

    doctormirabilis, Welcome to the discussion area!
    1) how can i configure the time capsule in order to operate as a remote base station synchronizing with the relay using the ethernet port?
    Configure the Time Capsule to act as a bridge (not distributing IP addresses). Also configure the Time Capsule to create an 802.11n wireless network with a unique network name (SSID). That's it.
    2) how can i avoid that my powerbook while accessing my wireless network does connect through the relay station instead of using the time capsule?
    Configure the Time Capsule to use a different network name than the WDS link between the 2 AirPort Express (AX). Configure the PowerBook to use the Time Capsule network.
    There are 2 pieces of information that you should be aware of...
    (1) None of the PowerBooks are capable of 802.11n.
    (2) The WDS link cuts your available bandwidth in half. So the wireless link to your neighbor's has a maximum potential of 27 Mbps.
    Let's for a minute assume that you have a Mac compatible with 802.11n. In your configuration the time you could take advantage of the 802.11n speed is when the Mac is sending/recieving data directly from/to the Time Capsule.
    There would be NO speed increase in Internet access. The speed of Internet access is going to be controlled by the slowest link in the path to the Internet. That is probably the connection to the ISP. The next slowest path is the WDS link to your neighbor's.
    Duane,
    I am in a similar situation, sharing internet with my neighbor. Do you think it would be plausible to hook up a vonage phone adapter to time capsule's ethernet port if time capsule is bridging from my neighbor's router in the configuration you have described? A check of my upload speed shows 1.67Mbps (powerbookG4 w/ airport extreme). Vonage reccommends 90kbps minimum upload speed. Am I going to lose some speed putting the Vonag adapter behind time capsule?
    Thank you
