Cable Replacement

Portable Drives My Passport
1

Hi there, I’ve had an older My Passport Studio for about 3/4 years now, and I recently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The new MacBooks don’t include a FireWire port anymore, and I was trying to find a new USB 2.0 cable (or a FireWire to USB) that would work with my specific drive. I have bought numerous cables trying to get this to work but every cable I’ve purchased hasn’t worked thus far.

Looking for a way to plug this thing in to my new MacBook!

Hello there

What specific model of the passport studio are you using? Perhaps you can look for the specific cable for your unit online.

Have you checked with the Apple fans at the Apple forums? Someone there may be better equipped to help you since it was Apple that dinged you here.

This video from YouTube might explain why you have this Apple-induced problem,
