The 800 end of this cable doesn't match the 800 port on my MacBook because of the housing size. Are all the positive reviewers just forcing it in?

This was my first cable I bought to record from my Canon XL2 to my MacBook...from the start it was hard to get in the FireWire port, never felt right. It did sync though, for a few weeks then one day nothing...I'd stay far away from this one....I ordered the SIIG 9PIN To 4PIN Firewire 800 Cable and so far it's been great and actually feels normal going into the FireWire port

Be sure the 800 end is lined up right. There is a notch that lines up on the bottom side. I had trouble at first because I didn't notice this, but it does go in okay once it is lined up correctly. It might have been a bit tight, at first, but it goes in easily now.

I didn't think it fit either...but I tried again after I got over being frustrated and then it worked. Be patient!

So glad I read the reviews. Just about to give up on this cable just didn't feel right on my MacBook! However after reading comments I persisted and indeed it fits.

Hi Jerry - this was bought to work with my wife's MacBook Pro, but did not "work" for anything more than 640x480 very irritating. We had to buy the Apple manufactured item. Not sure if it is due to Apple's shenanigans or a defect in this product. I cannot locate the item to answer your specific question. Sorry if this is not of much help (and sorry for the delay in responding - I was traveling).

The cable I got turned out to be a pretty, run of the mill, USB cable. Seriously, just go to a computer store and find one that fits and try it. It will probably be much cheaper and quicker.

If you have a Mac, a MacBook, or a MacBook Pro you definitely will want to buy the USB cable extension. Many people are having trouble fitting their USB keys from the MinoHD into the above computers. Some have even had problems with certain PCs. Its definitely a flaw in the USB, not in the computer. Just a word of warning.

I would try calling support at 800-800-1020 and ask someone specifically about this cable. Sorry!

Peter, I have to agree with the answer provided to you by Cory Church. The cable has worked beautifully on our MacBook Pro. Using the cable is a LOT better than using a VGA cable with an Apple VGA "dongle" adapter.

I could not find anything with the model numbers provided, but as long as your Mac uses a Mini DisplayPort and you're trying to connect it to a device with a VGA cable the connection will work.

I have an A1432 and the original connector is in a reversed position compared to this replacement. I could make it connect but I'd have to flex the cable completely around and that might ruin the cable. This will have to be sent back.

I use one of these: ASIN: B00C7RJQPY "Cable Matters Gold Plated Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt™ Port Compatible) to DisplayPort Cable in Black 6 Feet - 4K Resolution Ready" with mine. It works great. Very happy with my monitor purchase. No regret at all.I have a MacBook Pro mid2010.

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.

As long as your buy the appropriate adapter cable from whatever connection your MacBook uses to either HDMI/DVI, there's no reason why it wouldn't work perfectly fine.

I don't know I ordered the wrong one to run my Mac computer. The old cable was lost in a move. Apple does not make the cable and I was lead astray to this one

Not this one - it's the wrong kind of connection type on the peripheral side. You'd want this one instead (Type A to Type B) - Cable Matters SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Type A to B Cable in Blue 6 Feet

I actually own both types of USB's shown in the picture and both of them work without any issues. I run a Mac OSX Version 10.8.5.

No you can't, this is for macbook. And also otherwise the quality of the cable was crappy, it stopped working on 2nd use. I don't encourage anybody to touch this piece of garbage.

I did not have any issues getting my MAC to recognize the additional 8GB when I started with 4gb. Sorry I can't be of more help.
