I have a Macbook Air 2011 with Thunderbolt port, does this come with Firewire cable or I need to buy one ( plus the Thunderbolt to Firewire ) ?

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."

Yes, it does come with a firewire cable. When I bought mine a couple of years ago, what was included was a 6-pin to 6-pin type (also known as FireWire 400-400), like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Firewire-6-Pin-to-6-Pin-Cable-IEEE-1394-3-FT.aspx I had to go to the Apple Store to buy a FireWire 6-pin to 9-pin (also known as FireWire 400-800) to connect it to my MacBookPro, but it may be that now it comes with the 6-pin to 9-pin type; I'm not sure about that.

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.

The cable plugs into the Thunderbolt port on my MacBook Air on one side, and the other end plugs into the HDMI input on the TV.Hope this helps!

You did not mention whether the Thunderbolt-equipped laptop was a Macintosh. I know of no other laptops that have Thunderbolt ports, so if the laptop is a Macintosh, then the answer is yes.You will need an 800 FireWire cable connected into your Mac Mini and the other end connected into the adapter, and then the adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the side of the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. Neither the Mac Mini nor the Macintosh MacBook Pro or MacBook Air needs to be turned off. The ports are "hot swappable".

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.

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.

Yes you would need to purchase the firewire to thunderbolt cable. This adapter is Firewire 400 to 800. I know the adapter I have for my MBP with Retina it is Thunderbolt to Firewire 800.

The page says "Macally 2.5-Inch SATA to Firewire 800 and USB3.0 SuperSpeed Hard Disk Drive Enclosure." Thunderbolt is a completely different protocol than Firewire or USB3, however, most Thunderbolt hubs do have USB3 ports, which work at very high speeds even on older Thunderbolt Macs that have only USB2 ports. However, from my experience with Thunderbolt hubs, one cannot boot through those USB3 ports, as the Mac doesn't seem to recognize OS's through the hub.

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

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.

Will help you connect a FireWire peripheral thru the thunderbolt port, in case you do not have available ports.

Do not think it works in your MacBook Air, this connector convert Firewire 800 to 400; you need to support firewire to USB converter, visit: StarTech IEEE-1394 FireWire Adapter 4 Pin - 6 Pin M/F (FIRE46MF)

You can monitor-share. If your computers are on the same wifi network, go to the Finder on the iMac, select the MacBook Air in the left-hand panel, and select the "Share Monitor..." button. (You have to have sharing set up in the Sharing Control Panel.) Once the iMac is mirroring the MBA, hit the full-screen button in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming you're running Lion or later.) Voila! You're using the iMac's monitor to run you MBA. The only other way that I'm aware of to use the iMac as a "monitor" for the MBA would be to restart the MBA in Target mode, and restart the iMac to use the MBA as its startup disk. The problem is that the iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt connector and the MBA doesn't have a Firewire connector. I think you could connect the two through a USB hub, but I'm not sure. In any case, you'd be running on the iMac, not the MBA, so I don't think there's anything to be gained by that.

If you go to rog.asus.com...four Super-Speed USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, mini-DisplayPort, VGA (d-sub), Gigabit Ethernet, an SD/MMC slot and 3.5mm headphone and microphone.no firewire. the mini-display port is NOT thunderbolt capable, but does support HDCP and DVI.

I checked my manual and can find nothing relating to a firewire port. I also looked for a reference to IEEE and could find nothing on that either. It has HDMI ports, ethernet, and USB ports. Hope this helps. Wouldn't this type of port be listed in the tech list? Good luck finding what you need.

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