[QUOTE="chscag, post: 985680, member: 46727"] It's possible the FW port on your new iMac is defective. Since the cable you bought works OK on your older Mac with the Canon HV, that eliminates both the camera and the cable. Try this if possible to test the FW port: Attach your new iMac via FW cable to your older Mac and see if you can do a "target mode hookup" between the two of them. See the following Apple [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661"]LINK[/URL]. Or, what might be easier is if you have another FW device (hard drive, etc.) that you can test the port with. Since your machine is still under warranty, if the port fails the test, make an appointment with Apple to look at it. Regards. [/QUOTE]
