Don't buy this laptop. It's just not good. I've had a lot of miscellaneous problems with it and the sound quality is crap. My cellphone has better audio.

Yes for the Fire Wire, but if attempting to use on a new Apple device with Thunderbolt 2 you will need to purchase the Fire Wire Adapter from Apple.

No, this won't work for you. It does not allow USB to FireWire. They are separate hubs in this device.

I don't think so. But you might be able to get a different cord instead that has a multi-headed adaptor that will connect to a USB port. The best thing is to have a laptop with a Firewire port. Unfortunately, they usually don't make low-end Windows computers with a firewire port. Most affordable laptops with a firewire port are Macs. I have the same problem.

NOT that one! I bought the wrong one actually. The large end of THAT cable goes into my 2010 iMac FW800 port but u need an adapter to fit on the other end that will convert it to 'old style' FireWire 400 from the earlier macs. I never got around to getting the adapter. I took the HD out of the old Mac and put it into an enclosure. The pictured cable AND the old style FW adapter should work 4 U though.

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

I purchased this product because I have a MacBook with a firewire so I was thinking to use it because firewire is faster than usb but did not work I did a review and said do not buy it

Actually, I bought three of these for different family members and devices - at different times in the product cycle. Each of them came with a cable... However, two came with a 32 pin cable (not firewire) and the third, oddly enough, came with a USB to miniUSB cable. (After they stopped including the 32 pin cable.)So, if you need a firewire cable, I would make sure you have a spare as there seems to be no way to tell which cable will be included with the stand.

I'm sorry. I didn't see this question until just now. I am not sure. Is the firewire on the 2008 iMac the old type that was kind of a hexagon shape? If so, then no, this hard drive does not have that type of firewire port on it. If it is the newer type it won't work. But it should still work through USB, but just may be slower at the data transfer. Hope this is helpful.

yes, this VGA Adapter in the picture for displaying external screen, not for the square port which is for firewire.

No, this drive enclosure does not convert from USB 3 to Firewire. It either operates as USB or Firewire. When using Firewire, it provides a pass thru port to daisy chain other Firewire devices.

Yes it comes with a firewire cable. All you would need is the firewire to thunderbolt adapter. I've seen some on here for less than 10 dollars.

Hi, thanks for your interest, only Firewire port (no usb port) or you need to get something like elgato analog to digital converter if you need to connect it to your computer via USB port. Take care, Norman.

It does have a FireWire port but I think it is only 400. Could be wrong; haven't used it yet. IIRC the 800 uses a more rectangular connector.
