Witch cable for my videocamera to Imac

I have an video camera with firewire 400 4 pins. On the Imac has no firewire system. How do I connect my camera to my Imac? Witch cable do I need? I use final cut prox, he doesn't reconize my camera?

  • HT201343 I need to get external connection cables for macbook air to imac - is this just a thunderbolt to standard usb?

    My screen is busted and i need to backup information/ upgrade system to icloud drive.
    To do this, i need to use an imac display - can i connect this with the standard thunderbolt to usb cable?
    I do not have apple tv, and may not work since i cant see the screen on laptop.
    Thanks,

    You need to connect the Thunderbolt cable to a Thunderbolt port or Mini DisplayPort to use Target Display mode; the iMac model also needs to support video in. Click here for more information.
    You need to connect the Thunderbolt cable to a Thunderbolt or FireWire port to use Target Disk mode. When in this mode, the computer can be treated as an external drive.
    If the connection involves USB at any point, it won't accomplish anything.

  • Optical audio cable for iMac?

    I need to find an optical audio cable for my 20" intel iMac.
    I have not been able to determine what kind of cable that it is that I need to be able to hook up my iMac to my logitech z-5500's. I know that the z-5500's have an optical input on them, but it is a standard size optical input.
    Does anyone know what exactly it is that I am looking for?
    Any help is appreciated.

    I wish Apple would sell a nice white Toslink ->Mini-tos adapter, as all of their products seem to be using the connector. (Or better yet, include it with the computers.)
    The cable mentioned above will work fine and is not viciously overpriced like the Monster stuff. Another good quality solution, especially if you already have a regular optical cable, is this adaptor: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=180-968
    I use two of those (both with Dayton Audio optical cables from the same seller, though any optical cable will do as there's no real difference between any of them) with my iMac and AirPort Express, and have not had any problems.

  • Can I buy iMac power cables for the UK?

    I am moving to the UK from the US and I have several Apple products. I would like to know if I can buy a replacement cable for each of them (iMac, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, MacBook Air) that will fit into a UK power plug. All are fairly recent purchases (less than 2 years old) and I don't want to replace them. I can fit the World converter plugs on my Ipod and iPhone chargers, but they wont fit on the laptop chargers.
    Thanks!

    All you need is an UK IEC power cord for the iMac (see image) and adapters for the Macbooks and the Apple TV.
    The power supply in iMacs, Macbooks and Apple TV is an auto switching power supply that will accept voltage between 100 and 240V
    Any standard european IEC power cord will do, you do not have to by one from Apple, but the Apple one as a extra round plastic part that will fit snugly in the iMac. (see second image)
    Using a adapter is also an option for the iMac, but they tend to fit loosely on the US plug and can be more easily disconnected than a real European cord. If you go with only adapters, make sure you get good ones that will fit tightly on the us plug.

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

  • I bought a new iMac today. I'm using migration assistant to move all my software, but the time just keeps getting longer. It says connect an Ethernet cable for faster data transfer. I did, but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

    m1doc,
    Are you migrating from a Mac or a MS Window machine? Either way you probably should be in touch with AppleCare, you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. They can usually help on issues like this. If you don't know the phone number please use http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 to help find the number in your country.

  • Long cable for iMac TV connection?

    I see there are cables that will connect an iMac and an external monitor or a TV. My iMac and TV are in different rooms. The cable would have to be 30' to 50', depending on how I route it.
    Do they make one that big? Do they make extenders? Can the cable be that long or will the signal fail to get through reliably?

    Depends what kind of cable we're talking about, iirc HDMI is worst for length of run, DVI next poor, and VGA best.
    Look here for your cable, I'm sure they have it, and likely extensions too...

    Thanks!

    Along the lines of this topic, does anyone know whether Mini DisplayPort cables are usable for Thunderbolt? Here's one, for example, that's cheaper than Apple's $29 cable:
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B009NE77TQ/
    I would be concerned about (at least) two things:
    1. Can it handle the speed?
    2. Does it have the right circuit?
    It's possible that if it *seems* to work in a thunderbolt application, you might still run into trouble with intermittent data failure if it's not up to the task.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • Can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

    can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?

    Hi, Alan -
    How can I connect to both printer (HP 4050n, via direct connection) and internet (via LAN), as my iMac has only one R45 port?
    You can, but you'll need to expand your cabling a bit.
    You'll need to get an intermediate ethernet hub, switch, or router. That device sits alone, with the Mac, your printer, and your modem/LAN plugged into it.
    If you are already using a router, either separate or in combination with the modem (many modems have a built-in router), then you just need a hub or switch.
    I use an ethernet switch (10/100/1000) to let both my Macs (a 2010 iMac and an elderly G4 DA model) use my HP4000n printer and my modem. The ethernet switch is a passive device, meaning there's no setup nor instructing it required - it's truly plug-and-play. All four items (two Macs, printer, and modem) are plugged into it via ethernet; both Macs have full-time independent access to the printer and the modem.

  • Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 and old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4

    I am looking for a Suitable ethernet cable for my new Imac 27-inch iMac 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 (Mavericks 10.9.4) & old imac 1 GHZ PowerPC G4 (10.4.11) for transfering files, documents, photos into my new intel mac from my old power PC imac.
    Can anyone please advise me which suitable ethernet cable would be suitable for tasks.
    Many thanks

    Note, the iMac G4 1 Ghz only supports 10/100 base-T.  Firewire is up to 4 faster with a cable such as this one:

    And since you are migrating from a G4, be sure to make your files portable to newer data formats before transferring.  Old Appleworks/Clarisworks files are not compatible:

  • Can the "Guitar Smith" cable be used on the iMac for Garageband?

    I want a cable for my iMac so I can record and play music through the iMac, but I looked for a cable on Amazon but all the reviews seem preety poor. But the reviews for the Rock Smith cable seem preety good. So I was wondering if it can be used for the iMac?

    No, the iPhone 4 only accepts the 30-pin dock connecter, and the camera connection kit which can accept a USB connecter but not for cabling purposes.
    Why are you trying to use an HDMI cable with an iPhone?  You cannot output or input with it.
