The firewire 9 pin slot is the one just after the 4 USB ports on the back of the 2011 iMac. Read on for a more detailed explanation. Mac Proprietary is a bit misleading here. There are three firewire size plugs and two firewire standards. The original firewire spec also referred to as Firewire 400 or firewire 1 (or (IEEE 1394 on the PC side) has a 4 pin and a 6pin plug. 6 pin is the standard firewire plug for the original spec. The 4 PIN ones are usually found on laptops and don't have the extra two PIN's for sending power down the cable so anything using firewire 400 with a 4 PIN connector on one or both ends will need to have a separate power supply. However when firewire 2 came out also known as firewire 800 Apple was the only one that really made it standard on all their machines. Firewire 2 or firewire 800 has a 9 pin connector and this is the one found on modern macs now. The good thing is firewire is completely backwards compatible so though most audio gear never moved above firewire 400 a simple firewire 6 pin to 9 pin cable will allow you to connect any audio interface to any current mac. Personally I prefer www.monoprice.com for all my cable needs as they have a lifetime warranty and decently low prices. So Hope this helps let me know if any further clarification is needed or if any other questions relating to this you want answered.

I have a little problem here. I'm trying to hook up my M-Audio project mix to my Pro tools with a Firewire cable, since i figure that's how it's done. I have a 21 inch Imac from around 2011 and i wonder where to hook up the Project mix since it looks like the project mix can't communicate with the Protools i have. I get a warning that it can not communicate with HUI which i understand is the protocol to be used. Could anyone please explain to me what i need to do and what cable to use? I got a cable with the interface, but i don't understand how to hook it up. It looks like it has a Usb Micro or a mini usb connection in one end and a firewire connection in the other. It may be, however, that there's a firewire mini connection, i don't know and if so it doesn't fit anywhere on the computer and i don't see a mini firewire connection on the Project mix itself. Also are there some setting in the pro tools that should be changed in any way and if so, how? Please help i've gone from confused, (my usual state of mind) to feeling utterly bewildered and stupid. /Krister the newbie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pro Tools Accessibility" group.
