## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this connect an iPod second gen clicker wheel to the usb in my Mac. To sync?**
A: Sorry ditto my previous answer - No I cant answer

**Q: I have a standard laptop with no firewire port.  i need to transfer mini dv tapes to my laptop. will this adaptor enable me to do this?**
A: I am transferring hi8/mini dv tapes to MacBook air 2017. Just to clarify is it correct to get a FireWire cable to connect to the digital 8 camcorder as well as a FireWire to thunderbolt adapter?

**Q: Will this adapter work to connect my 2009 imac to my 2015 imac so i can use the older mac as a hdd in target disk mode**
A: I am not 100% sure. Back in the day I used command T to link two Macs via Firewire cable. I have used the adapter and it works well.

**Q: can i download from sony trv33e camera to macbook air without firewire 800 port?**
A: You need something that will interface DV to whatever ports you have on your MacBook Air. A new one will have thunderbolt 3 ports  it could be a bit of a cludge eg:

FireWire 400 to 800 adaptor (this product) + 
FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor +
Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 USB-C adaptor

!!

If you have an earlier thunderbolt 2 or 1 port then you can lose the last adaptor. 

Good luck

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works!!
*by J***W on 27 November 2021*

Fantastic. This connector lets me connect my old Canon DV camcorder to my Mac so I can download and keep all my family movies. Basically it connects a FireWire 400 plug on the camera cable to a FireWire 800 port on the Mac. The Mac software is apparently backward compatible so it handles the FireWire 400 traffic properly and even controls the camcorder. Worked reliably and first time. Good value too.
