What Kind of Cable?

Hi, sorry if this has been asked a zillion times but I could not find an answer while searching and I am somewhat new to all of this.
I plan to purchase a Sony MiniDV Camera (possibly HD). What type of iLink cable to I need to purchase? 4 port to 6 port? 4 port to 4 port? Which end goes where?
There are several different cables that Sony sells so want ot be sure I get the correct one. Does it have to be a Sony cable?
Many thanks!

All Macs have a 6 pin Firewire connector and all Sony MiniDV camcorders have a 4 pin iLink (i.e. Firewire) connector. So you need a 4 pin to 6 pin cable.

  • What kind of cable can I use?

    Hello,
    I recently bought an iMac and I was wondering what kind of cable can I use to connect it to my Macbook Air so that I'll be able to transfer my files faster.
    Any links to a website that has a picture or actually sells the appropriate cable would be greatly appreciated as I currently live Paris and communicating with store clerks is a mission in and of itself!
    Thanks a lot.

    get the usb-ethernet adapter for the MBA and then an ethernet cable to attach the two computers. OR: create a computer to computer wireless airport connection so that the computers can access the N wireless network both are capable of but some routers are not. If the MBA is the more recent revision, you may have gotten the usb-ethernet adapter included in the package; otherwise, it can be purchased from the Apple Store. The ethernet cables are standard and can be obtained from any computer store. No need for anything special like crossover cables, macs connect directly with a standard cable.
    I tried to transfer files quickly via a simple 802.11g wireless LAN I had set up via a router but it was so slow that I set up the c to c network via the menubar airport menu and was able to quickly copy and transfer files via the 802.11n that the airport hardware provides when something else does not interfere with the speed that the macs are capable of wirelessly.

    Hello, is it possible to connect a iPod shuffle 4 to a car BMW ? What kind of cables do I need ?

    Is there an AUX port?  If so, you can by the necessary auxillary cable.  It won't work with the USB port connection.

  • What kind of cable connects video iPod to tv?

    I can't find specific info on this other than the AV Monster cables on the apple site. I don't have the cable to connect my iPod to a tv yet and am wondering where to find it and what kind to get? I assume it plugs into the headphone jack output, but does it split to red & white stereo and a video RCA jack?
    THANKS!!!

    Nope.
    The apple a/v cable from iPod to TV works great. Just like plugging a VCR or DVD player in.
    For somewhat better video you would use the universal dock and plug the Apple a/v cable into the dock and you have the option of using it or an S-video cable from dock to TV in which case you would NOT plug the yellow video RCA connector into your TV as only one video source can be used at a time.
    The S-video cable "should" give somewhat better video but of course it depends on the source video too. Only experimenting will tell for sure which combination is better than another.
    In summary, the Apple a/v cable direct from iPod to TV is all you need. Other cables may work but I elected to use the real thing so that there would be no excuses in case it didn't work. I'm extremely happy with the setup. Bought a TV episode from iTunes the other day and showed it on 50" TV using just the a/v cable and the results were excellent. Not HD, but excellent.

  • IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

    If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
    Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter. 

    What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
    I just presumed so really.
    What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
    Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
    And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
    And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
    Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
    My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
    Thanks,

  • What kind of cable do I need to get digital video into my Imac?

    I just purchased a JVC Mini DV video camera "GR-D347U" refurbished, just to get the feel of bringing digital video clips into Imovie and combining them with still clips and music. The camera came with just the AV cables and I was wondering what I need to port the video over to my Imac. There wasn't much help on their web site. They do offer a DV cable, that what I am looking for? Thanks for your help.
    Dick Skover

    Nearly all MiniDV cameras have a 4pin Firewire connector. Looking at the manual (link) for the JVC confirms that. 
    Macs all have the 6pin Firewire connector (and later iMac have 9pin connectors too) so you simply need a 4pin-to-6pin Firewire cable like this (example).
    Once connected simply load iMovie and click import.

  • What kind of cable to use as extension for 5.1 speakers

    i run the inspire p580 5.1 speakersystem and i would like to know which cable to get in order to extend the cables of my rear speakers!
    i don't really want to cut the cables and add usual speakercable somewhere in the middle but i don't know which cable to get in order to extend it...
    cinch seems to be appropriate but i haven't had a chance to test it yet. Anybody know what to do?

    Allright I found an answer myself. What we call Cinch-cabel in German is a common phono-cable in English...
    so in order to extend the speakercables just use male to female phono-cable!
    my bad guys!

  • What kind of cable I need ?

    I want to connect my Mac mini with my monitor ....I will do this via the hdmi to dvi adapter that's given with the mac. My monitor has a dvi output , so I will connect it with a dvi cable via the adapter.the question is, do I need a single link or dual link dvi cable ? Or it doesn't matter ? Help please !

    Look here to see what the connectors look like and compare it to the port on your monitor. It's almost certainly a "normal" single-link DVI port.

  • Hiding the Set Top Box (STB) - What kind of cables do I need?

    I want to place my HD DVR STB in a nearby closet.  Will probably require 15-20 feet of cable to be safe.  I came across several different terms (Emitter, Blaster, RF, etc) but wasn't sure what I need.  This is a simple set up - just the cable box so that I can continue to use the Verizon Fios remote.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    spacedebris wrote:
    The one I posted is for a "wired" extender. One end plugs into the back of the STB and the other end sits in the room where the TV is. There are others that are the wireless styles.  Like THIS. I was just giving an example. It all depends on how fancy you want to get.
    Actually that was for a transmitter extender, not a receiver and it must be used per the following from the link:
    Emitter connects between Powermid receiver and A/V equipment in a closed cabinet
    Powermid receiver required and sold separately
    It does not plug into the STB. It plugs into the Powermid receiver jack and the other end gets "stuck" to the front of the STB. There are other devices that perform the STB IR receiver function, such as This one. However be aware that this particular one does not work with 64xx DVR's.

  • What kind of cable is used for apple earbuds?

    Hi
    My earbuds work fine, but the cable has been snatched. Being interested in fixin stuff i want to replace the cable for a new one.
    Looked around in DIY sites and forums, but audiophiles only seems to be interested in THICK HEAVY GAUGE cables that looks awesome. I just want my thin, white, soft old cable back.
    So would someone know which type and which AWG and insulation that apple uses for these things?
    Regards

    The iPhone 6 currently uses Corning’s Gorilla Glass. There was some speculation that they would start using Sapphire glass but I guess they’re not ready yet. I have had my iPad 2 for years now and the glass is still perfectly fine. My new iPhone 6 uses a more developed version of the same glass. Will the glass break? Yes. Will the glass scratch? Yes, if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your car keys, the screen will scratch. It’s not impervious, just highly resistant.
    I do have a real life controlled experiment going on in the family. My wife and one son have their iPhone 6s in a case WITH a screen protector. Myself and my other son carry our iPhone 6s around without ANY protection whatsoever, no case and no screen protector. So far they all still look perfectly fine. We’ll se how this experiment turns out.

  • 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,
