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 type of firewire cable for 2006 iMac?

    I asked at Best Buy and they gave me 4pin, didn't work. I looked online and got 9 pin, it fits the MBPro we're trying to connect the iMac to but not the iMac. So I know I need a 9pin for the MBPro but what should the other end be? Everything I saw online said 9 pin but its clearly not even the right shape to fit the port on the back of my computer... FWIW, I'm trying to connect to the MBPro so we can boot from their HD and install a new OS on our computer becuase the cd rom drive on mine is broken.

    You need a cable like

    You should be able to get one at BBY, RadioShack, Fry's Electronics or of course Amazon.

    I have a Sony DCR-TRV33 camcorder and it hooked to my iMac with the firewire cable but the iMac doesn't seem to recognize the camera.  The camera is set to VCR.  This particular model is not included in the supported camera list for ilife but seems to be compatible from everything else I have read.  Anyone have any ideas as to what to do??

    To import from this camera, you need a Firewire cable.
    Sony's name for FireWire is i.Link, so that is where you need to plug in.
    If you have a relatively new Mac, it will have Firewire 800. You will need a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire Cable. You can find them inexpensively at www.monoprice.com.  If you have an older iMac, it may have Firewire 400 (or it may have both). In this case, you need the  6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable. Some companies sell adapters that will convert a 6 pin to 4 pin cable to 9 pins. Avoid these. They do not work.

  • Firewire cable for camera

    hello, i would like to find a cable to go from my canon 60d camera to the firewire port. i have been to numerous places and they do not have it. i could not find it at canon as well. any help would be great.
    thanks

    I'm confussed... Why do you need a FIREWIRE CABLE for, does your computer not have a USB port?
    I think what you need is this...
    You can find this cable at any RADIO SHACK, WALMART, TARGET, BEST BUY, etc.
    Here's a diagram of different types of USB ports, which one does your Camera have?

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • What firewire cable?

    Just bought a new 13" Macbook Pro. What firewire cable do I need to use Migration Manager to move files from my Imac?

    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 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.

  • Firewire Cable for TiBook to iMac 450 DV

    I need to connect my TiBook G4 867mHz to my iMac G3 450DV via firewire to run Disk Warrior on the iMac as it is not wanting to read the CD. The Powerbook reads it fine. The TiBook is running Tiger and the iMac is running Panther. I know what I need to do with Target and Host, the only thing I don't know is what kind of firewire cable, exactly, must I use to connect these two machines?
    Would anyone happen to know how many pin to pin, male/female, etc. I need?

    a brody,
    Thank you very much for your reply.

    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):

  • Firewire Cable (for target disk mode)

    Hi all,
    I'm using a Late 2010 27" i5 iMac and a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro. I'm going to reformat and reinstall the iMac this weekend but need to grab all my Music/Documents (you know the drill) from it. Last time I did this, I did it over a 100mbps network, needless to say it was absolutely horribly slow. So, today I'm going to pick up a cheap-ish firewire cable and target my laptop as a disk using target disk mode.
    Which type of Firewire cable do I need to buy? It's either a 4-pin or 6-pin choice, no 9-pins available at the shop I intend to visit. I have no idea what the difference is between them - hardware is definitely not my game.
    Both ports look like this (taken from Apple's docs, Firewire 800):
    Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    I'm using a Late 2010 27" i5 iMac and a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro.
    Just verified the specs for these two in MacTracker just to be sure.  Yes, both are FW800.  So you need a 9-pin to 9-pin FW cable (like these)

  • No FireWire cable for Target Disk Mode

    I have an original MacBook1,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It will not start up, I have tried everything on this Apple web page , Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup, besides an erase and reinstall and I don't know what to do. It won't read the Snow Leopard update disk (My other two Macs do). When I restart In Verbose Mode, it always stops right after 'Airport: RSN handshake complete on en1'. When i started my other Mac in Verbose Mode, after 'Airport: RSN handshake complete on en1', it went straight to the login window. I called Apple support and they said that I need to perform an erase and reinstall but first I need to get an install disk for Mac OS X Tiger 10.4. and get some things off using Target Disk Mode. I do not have a FireWire cable and do not want to have to go and buy one. I have an Ethernet cable and a male - male USB cord. The two other Macs that I have are an iMac7,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and a MacBook6,1 running Mavericks 10.9.4. If you have any solutions for fixing it without the erase, or just a way to get my info off of it, please help.
    Thank you in advance!

    The USB cable won't be useful in that situation, and the Ethernet one will only help if you have access to a computer running Mac OS X Server. Get a FireWire cable.
