What do you mean by:
Do you specifically mean that, the firewire cable you have, though it can plug into your camera, it has no matching port on your MacPro to plug your firewire cable in?
I am assuming this your firewire cable.
A, to 6-pin (left side, old firewire 400) to 4-pin (right side, camera port)
And these, are your MacPro's, back ports. Notice there are no corresponding firewire 400, (6-pin) ports. There are only firewire 800 ports
If this is what you mean, then your problem is the camera-to-computer firewire cable you have, (4-pin to 6-pin), is basically trash, and you need to buy a, "firewire 4-pin to 9-pin," cable like this one.
Some people might suggest you get a, 6-pin to 9-pin adapter, such as this...
...to supposedly make your 4-6 pin firewire cable compatible, but camera to computer firewire connections can be very finicky, and not be recognizable by the computer, (causing loss of hair), so I do not suggest you go this route.
Hope this helps!
