What cable do I need?

jjfcpa · Feb 26, 2009

Just ordered a MBP 17 and I'm currently using a MBP 15 unibody. What cable will I need to run the migration wizard to transfer my apps and data to the new 17 incher?

FireWire 800

A firewire (either 800/9 pin to 800/9 pin or 800/9 pin to 400/6 pin). You can now also use any ethernet cable which you probably can borrow from your router...

You just need a 9 pin firewire 800 cable.

It looks like this.

I was thinking that the MBP 15" only had firewire 400?

The 15" Unibody only has 800. The previous generation had 400 and 800.

Thanks for the information and the recommendations.

Ethernet should work, but Firewire 800 is best.
