What firewire cable do I need?

My Glyp ext drive GPT50 needs a fire wire cable to connect to my Imac.The specs on the drive says Firewire 800 -ieee1394b-9 pin port.It's supposed to use a Firewire 800 cable.I'm not sure if my Imac has a 9pin port or not.Any idea what type of cable I would need to get?

You would need a Firewire 800-800 (9-pin) cable and a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

If the iMac has a Firewire 800 port then you need a Firewire 800 cable. It depends how old your iMac is, can you give us any idea?

What is FireWire and what FireWire adapter do I need to use FireWire 800 for my portable external hard drive ?

Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I have a MacBook Pro 13" (late 2011) with Lion OS and Parallels 7 (Windows 7). My understanding is that there is FireWire connection / extension built in to the MacBook Pro already. I also have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable external hard drive 750GB USB2.0 and 3.0 (that can be used for PC and Mac). It states that the portable external harddrive is FireWire 800 compatible. The questions are (1) how does FireWire works ? (2) how do I use or activate FireWire 800 ? (3) is there any setup / setting changes I need to on my MacBook Pro ? (4) what FireWire adapter do I need to purchase to connect my portable external harddrive to my MacBook Pro ? Is it expensive ?
I read a few articles online but they are too technical for me. They mentioned something about FireWire adapter with 6 pins or 9 pins. Not sure what that means. I'm totally confused. So any help, advise or guidance will be much appreciated. In Layman's term would be better. Thanks.
How about Thunderbolt ? Is it compatible with the above external portable hard drive mentioned ? Do I need a Thunderbolt adapter for it ? How do I activate or use Thunderbolt ?

Thanks, Clinton and Alberto.
The below link is the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex portable external hard drive (product code STAA750302) that I have. It states that it features USB 2.0 or 3.0 plug–and–play connectivity and easily upgradeable to USB 3.0, FireWire 800 or eSATA. It only comes with a 18-inch USB 3.0 / 2.0 backward compatible cable.

Based on the above, my understanding is that I need to buy a FireWire 800 adapter to connect to the portable external hard drive so that I can use FireWire 800 with my MacBook Pro. Is this correct ? Do I need to get a separate cable as well or can I just use the 18-inch USB 3.0 / 2.0 backward compatible cable that was provided in the box ? If so, what sort of FireWire 800 cable do I need to get ? 9 pin to 9 pin ? 6 pin to 9 pin ? Or 4 pin to 9 pin ?

What FireWire cable does the Intel 24 inch iMac use?

I am trying to transfer settings and stuff from an iMac G4 computer to my new iMac 24 inch Intel based. What kind of FireWire cable do I need? The gal from Apple said 4800? I'm having trouble locating it. I need to know what to search for online.

If you have a FireWire 400 cable then all you need is a 400 to 800 Adapter.

If not then you'll need a FireWire 400 to 800 cable.

What firewire cable should I buy?

What firewire cable should I buy to connect my Macbook to my external drive Western Digital My Book Studio 500GB Quad Interface with Firewire 400/800? I am buying several of each for a new film class and I want to be sure to get the right equipment! (I'm confused about amounts of pins)
Thanks for helping a novice!

There are two types of cables - FW800 and FW400. However, your MacBook does not support FW800 so all you need is the standard FW400 cable. It has six (6) pins.

The model 7,1 is actually the Mid 2010 MacBook and is the only MacBook with a Mini DisplayPort that sends audio along with the video, Here's some Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with audio adapters from Amazon.

What Firewire Cable to buy?

hi,
does anyone know what firewire cables work with isight? in order with the firewire cable adaptor, the thingy which holds the cable and plugs into the isight? i would like to use a cable which is about 5-6 meters.
thankful for any tips.
alex

Hello Alex,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
the problem with most 3rd party FW cables is, that they don't fit into the isight cable holder thingy.
In addition to the suggestions others have offered here, you can get cables from your Apple VAR, Apple Store, or from the Apple web site. Several choices are available from Apple.
If you buy from an Apple retailer, he can find the correct items for you. For web ordering, as of this date:
]The 1.8m replacement for the cable that came with my iSight.
]The short (0.5m / 19 inches) version.
iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions also lists a replacement
b FireWire Cable Adapter
- current price: $6.25 US, but I cannot locate the part number. Your Apple retailer can help you.
<hr>
so the task would be to find either a FW cable that matches the apple FW cable plug, or to find a ""connector" which would connect a 3rd party FW cable with a white apple one.
You can buy the entire iSight Accessory Kit, which includes both the cable
b AND adapter
as well as replacement mounts.

What Firewire Cable Do I Order for This Purpose?

I have an older (2004) Sony Handycam model TRV 460 with a Firewire port. I use a 2008 Harpertown Mac Pro, and need the right cable to transfer video.
I've been told this:http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8706G/A#overview
Or this:
http://www.ylmart.com/sony-handycam-dcr-trv460-dv-cable--4---9-pin-.html
is what I need, but I'm not sure. If anyone knows please advise....thanks
Tom

I looked at the manual for the camera and the cable it comes with is a USB cable.
Firewire cables should look like this (FW400 on left FW800 on right):

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

What Firewire cable for latest iMac?

Hi,
I am a bit confused that my Firewire doesn't fit into my new iMac (2011 model i3).
After a bit of Googling, I notice there are different pin amounts (4,6,9).
Which one do I need to connect my DV Video Camera to my iMac??!!
Thanks in advance

Your choice. I prefer the cable with different ends. However, this should also do the job: http://www.amazon.com/Sonnet-FireWire-400-Adapter-FAD-824/dp/B0000CDJPQ

What Apple cable do I need to play Movies...

...from my iPod Touch to my TV? I have an older video iPod that just uses the red, white and yellow cable and everything plays beautifully. With the iPod Touch I get just sound, but no picture. Any help is appreciated.
TIA

Jim and Jason
Thanks very much for this info, but I'm a bit confused. What does the dock connector have to do with watching a movie straight from the iPod Video or iPod Touch?
I don't have my iPod plugged into the dock when I use it on my TV. On my older iPod video, there's a setting that asks "TV off" or "TV On" and if I'm using it on the TV, I click TV on and it works.
Why don't the new iPod Touches have that capability?

What audio cable do I need to hook from macbook pro to an amp?

Yeah, just wondering if any audio cable will work to hook from Macbook Pro (10..5.8) to an amp? Not skilled in this area at all! thanks!

It would help to know what inputs your amp has, what outputs your computer has, and what you are trying to accomplish.

What ethernet cable do I need for my Satellite A300?

Hi there,
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 today, and I have just plugged in my ethernet cable that is plugged into my normal PC, however it seems to be stuck.
IS there a special ethernet cable you use with a Notebook or is a problem with my jack?
If someone could let me know that would be great.
cheers

no one side of the ethernet cable is plugged in the modem and always and then the other side is usually plugged into my PC now i have take in out of my pc and put it in my notebook jack and it will not come out, the connections fine, It's just if I want to take it out to plug back in my comp it wont come out and obviously I'm a bit nervous to pull it hard in fear I'll damage the jack.
any thoughts?
