"Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter". That gives you a female 9pin "Firewire 800" connection to which you can plug in a regular 4pin (or 6pin, **depends on your camcorder** but probably 4pin which is the really really tiny firewire cable) "Firewire 400" cable to.

It should work. Simply launch your older iMac in target display mode while it is connected with this cable. I did this with my Laptop and the same year iMac before purchasing a thunderbolt display.

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

it worked to connect my Sony Video Camera to my iMac. Keep in mind the computer did not automatically see the camera. I had to open the video software, which recognized the video camera

Hello, this cable worked perfect. I needed to transfer information between my Mac's, I was using a FireWire 400 to 800, but I needed this adapter to go from FireWire 800 to thunderbolt. this works perfectly.

I use it on the PC. You can use it on any computer with a USB 2 0r USB 3 . If the 2013 iMac has a Thunderbolt and you would want to utilise it's high transfer speed capability , you would need to buy seperatly an optional Thunderbolt adapter.

I don't know the new iMac's video card specs, so you'll want to confirm that. As far as I know, as long as you have the right thunderbolt adapter, the monitor will work fine.Edit: I see others have answered you already. :)

I have a new (this year) iMac and it does support thunderbolt cable, but 2009's do not. An ethernet cable will connect any mac to another mac.

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.)

Dear Julie, Thank you for your question regarding our Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. The cable is not compatible with your iMac because the iMac has a mini DisplayPort connector. We would recommend our mini DisplayPort to HDMI bundle which will work with your iMac and HDTV. Here is the link to that product: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008VYQLA0 Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

As long as you have software on the iMac that will capture from the thunderbolt port you should be able to do this. We are using it on Mac Mini's to capture video from SDI and HDMI cameras.

I've had several Handycams but not an Apple. I do know, however, that Sony Handycams export through USB into a .mpg format. So, if you can import a .mpg or somehow convert them it would probably work just fine.I use Sony's Vegas Movie Studio to import mine by choosing File Import Camcorder Disc after dropping the disc into my DVD reader on my computer. Hope this helps you.Lynne

From what you are saying, yes. Thunderbolt cable will connect from the Thunderbolt port of your mac to the Thunderbolt port of your display.

Although the mini-port cable looks like a thunderbolt, alas, it is not. I do not think it will work, but a quick call to apple support will get you your answer.

You mean "Firewire" cable, not wirefire. You'll need a Firewire 400 cable on both ends, unless you're plugging the camera into a Mac with a Firewire 800 port, in which case you'll need a 400 connector on the end that goes into the iSight and an 800 connector that plugs into your Mac. Do a search on Amazon to find one, or you can try Other World Computing (macsales.com) and you should be able to find what you're looking for. You can also try looking for an Apple-branded Firewire cable on eBay that will be an exact replacement for the one you lost.

I have a mid-2012 11" MacBook Air (Thunderbolt port) connected to a mid-2010 27" iMac (mini Display port). The is the only cable that does that. Having said this, I have found that the cable does not take much flexing, wear & tear before the tolerances of the connections start to get a little jumpy (sometimes connecting on plug in, sometimes not)/ This may be an issue of the computer too, hard to say.
