I have an IMac & just purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to transfer file via migration. The iMac & MacBook Pro have 800 speed firewire but it appears the cables are different. Any suggestion on what cable I need to transfer files?

You need a 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. A Google search will turn up a lot of them.

Here's the cheapest one I've managed to find:

If you feel more comfortable spending a little more, you can do the Google search and find a cable you like (although for a cable that isn't too long for a digital format like FireWire, I'd expect a cheap cable to be fine) and find a cable you like. I'd avoid the overpriced $40 Belkin stuff, though.

TY for the info.

If you use a 6 pin connector you'll be relegated to FW400 speeds.

Which iMac do you have and what makes you think it has FW800?
