I have a 2 year old MBP which serves all my needs but I do not have a proper backup because my Iomega hard drives (one for my iMac and video, the other was supposed to be for the laptop) are Firewire. I have only just discovered that there are 2 types of Firewire (doh - but then how are we supposed to learn this????) so having just ordered a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter thinking that would solve my problem I discover that the adapter is for the 'wrong' Firewire... Any advice on what to do / what I need? Should I hold on to this adapter and get another one to link it to the Firewire cables in the HD? Is there another adapter for Thunderbolt to the Firewire I have? (Couldn't see any other option on Apple Store... and wasn't warned of the problem which is what annoys me) Or be more radical and get a whole new HD for the MBP (the Iomega drives are 1TB each)...Feeling wrong-footed by Apple (why no firewire port?) and rather stupid...
