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 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.

  • 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 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.

    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):

  • 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

  • Which Firewire cable to use

    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!!

  • Firewire cable - which one

    I feel like an idiot posting a simple question but I cant work out what firewire cable to get to plug in an external hard drive. I have now bought two cables - the hard drive is a 6 pin but I cant work out which kind to get to plug into the mac socket. I have an imac intel 21.5 inch bought late 2009.
    I only discovered this problem when the external hard drive is not being recognised by the mac via USB --- my other external hard drives work fine via the same usb port
    Any help well appreciated

    Hello morganfish
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    If your External Hd's are FireWire 400 then you could use a 400 to 800 adapter. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FIR1369AD/
    Or if we knew exactly what external HD(s) you had, then we might be able to suggest the correct FireWire cable to go straight from you External HD to your iMac's FireWire 800 port?
    But it sounds like you need a 6 to 9 pin FireWire cable.

  • Which Firewire Cable to connect an iMac and a Mac mini ???

    Hi guys
    What Firewire cable should I buy to connect an iMac G5 and a Mac mini G4 and use a partition on the mini as a Target Disk?
    I've read something about 4 pin, 6 pin, 9 pin... 400, 800
    I have no idea what type of cable I have to buy and if it makes different about performance...
    Cheers!

    No, you need a FW400 6-pin to 6-pin cable and they are all the same. FW800 has an entirely different connector and neither the iMac nor the mini have it. It might be called IEEE1394 or iLink on the package, but it is all FireWire 400 in stores generally. I have never seen a FW800 cable in a regular retail store.

  • HT1338 What firewire 800 cable do I use?

    What firewire 800 cable do I use to connect my mac mini (late 2009) to my Panasonic HDD camcorder?

    If a standard FW800 cable is recomended for your camera, use that, if the camera needs a mini connector use that.
    Only you know what is on your camera

  • What kind of firewire cable from 400 to 800?

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased an iMac Intel Duo. I want to use the Migration Assistant to move my environment on my PowerBook to my new iMac. Migration Assistant tells me that I need to connect the two computers using a firewire cable. The PowerBook has a firewire 800 port. The iMac has a firewire 400 port. What kind of cable do I need to purchase to make this connection work?
    Oh BTW, what gives with the far newer iMac having older technology firewire port?
    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Hi all,
    Sorry for the delay. I did see the rapid-fire responses and I'm truly astonished with this forum. Thanks!
    However, I must admit that I don't understand any of the answers. To Eric: Yes, I will only need to do this once, but what alternative do I have? Will Migration Assistant work over ethernet? I did not see an option for this. That would be my preference as I already have both machines on my LAN.
    As to the question of whether my PowerBook has FW400: The System Profiler for Firewire only says "Maximum Speed: Up to 800 MB/sec". So I have no idea if the interface supports FW400. Isn't the physical interface (or jack) different for FW400 versus FW800? Isn't one 6-pin and the other 9-pin? If so, then I would assume that you would need a 9-pin cable jack to attach to an FW800 port, no?
    Eric, you also said "so use that with the cable that you likely have for your external peripherals anyway." But what I have discovered is that the cable I have has two different jacks on each end: one connects to the Mac and the other connects to the peripheral. The peripheral jack will not plug into the iMac (nor to the PowerBook). In other words, I need a cable that has two jacks that connect to the computer side. Does anyone know the product number for that type of cable?
    Thanks,
    Bryan
