This cable is perfect for connecting sony iLink (firewire 400) devices to the Thunderbolt -> Firewire 800 cable. So yes, there are two cables required for this process. The cables needed are the T-Bolt to F-Wire 800 Apple adapter and the F-Wire 800 to F-Wire 400 cable.

iLink is just Sony's name for Firewire, so a 9 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable should work fine. That's what I use on the 3 Sony and 1 Canon camcorders that I have. (I use the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter as well.)

I have no clue if it will works with your sony but what I know it work with my canon GL2. One will think it should work find. I used tripp lite in combination with another adapter firewire to thunderbolt for my MacBook pro with retina because my laptop doesn't have firewire connection. I think it should work find for you.

You'd have to check with Apple - I suppose there is a transcoding device or a different type of firewire cable you might not be familiar with. I'd check with the "genius" bar.

I don't think so...OSX won't drive all the interface out the firewire port, as it does for thunderbolt.

I don't know what firewire I need to transfer files---2006 imac mac OS X--10.6.8 and newer 2013 imac 10.10.1------so are both 800 compatiable or is the older a 400 firewire and the newer 800 firewire. Or is there a cable that will take care of both of them?

Not enough info from you. What kind of cord is needed, firewire, usb or thunderbolt. I bought the thunderbolt for my new iMac which no longer has firewire.

I've only had the camera a couple of days but it seems to work fine with my Mac when connecting using a 4-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable. I haven't done any exhaustive testing but I've been able to connect and get video into iMovie and Final Cut Express. So so far, so good.

Yes, I bought this Tripp Lite FireWire and plugged it into my SonyHandycam and it worked great. On your Macbook air, you will need to run the older version of iMovie 9.0.0 which shows up easily when you type iMovie into the search box on your Macbook. iMovie HD (the newer version) does not support this transfer process. Then use iDVD to burn the DVDs by selecting Share/iDVD from the iMovie 9.0.9 drop down menu

No. You'd need a Thunderbolt-to-firewire adapter, which Apple sells, in addition to a firewire cable such as this one. And I don't think any MacBooks used the mini Firewire connector, only the larger FW400 and the newer FW800 connectors. So this cable wouldn't help you at all.

Not sure, but mine was purchased before Thunderbolt was available, and would have HAD to go in another input. Probably not Firewire either. Mini VGA?

The thunderbolt cable only works with the Apple thunderbolt monitor. You can get a thunderbolt adapter that will change it to DVI/VGA/HDMI fairly cheap

I use a FireWire cable to operate some digital equipment I own. My MacBook Pro doesn't have a FireWire output so I used the adapter to insert into my thunderbolt port which enabled me to attach my FireWire cable.

I just hook up the usb cable to the iMac and import directly into iMovie. Works great!

Hi. The newest hardware version of the Seagate backup plus that I have is for USB 3.0. This version is only available in USB 3.0. Seagate sells an adapter separately that can support thunderbolt. I think that you then have to buy a thunderbolt to firewire 800 adapter then, finally, you would have to buy a firewire 800 cord as the adapter (made by Apple) is very short. The thunderbolt adapter for the Seagate Backup plus is 150 dollars and the adapter is 30 dollars so you are looking at a lot of money. Alternately, you could buy the previous generation of the Seagate backup plus. Search amazon.com for "Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB FireWire 800/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive for Mac STCB3000100" and you will find it. Hope this helps. Patrick

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

I dont own one of these cameras but Im currently borrowing one from a friend, its the 8gb newest generation. I take my video, plug it into my Macbook pro, go to iMovie, click "import video from camera" and im done.

From the product description, on 'Musician's Friend'... "Focusrite's popular Saffire Firewire interfaces are fully compatible with Thunderbolt ports on Mac computers. All you need to connect the two is a FireWire 400-800 cable (included with all new Saffire interfaces later this year) and the Thunderbolt to FireWire 800 adapter (not included). Simply plug this into the Thunderbolt port on your computer and connect the FireWire interface - it's as simple as that. Saffire interfaces are 100% compatible with Thunderbolt using this adaptor."
