I have a JVC DV camcorder and need to copy the tapes to my iMac. It's a GR-DX100EK camera if that helps. I lost all the cables for it but have charging cable. What do I need to connect this to my iMac.
iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 11.0
Yes that's the correct cable (iLink to FireWire 800), get a maximum length of 1M or 2M length , the longer the cable the more the signal degrades.
suggest you can connect it by usb to a computer or take out a memory card (probably SD) and connect that to a computer
the former may require software from the manufacturer of the camera to work.
Never had any problems fitting an iLink cable to a camera, it should slide in easily.
Check you are fitting this cable to the iLink connector on the camera (red circle) and not to the Mini USB connector:
To be clear, the iLink connector (with red arrow) fits in the camera
the Firewire 800 connector (green arrow) connects to the Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt cable
Trying to copy the tape not SD card. Tried USB but nothing came up on screen.
Gary is this correct?

You need three cables to connect the camera to the Mac with a USB-C port
If you have a Thunderbolt port on the Mac, you don't need cable 3:
1 - iLink to FireWire 800 cable to connect camera to to Fire wire adapter, available from Amazon or Ebay
2 - Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt cable; to connect cable1 to cable 2 Available from the Apple online store
3 - Thunderbolt to USB-C adapter; to connect cable 2 to the Mac
connections from camera to Mac, look like this:
use QuickTime Player to capture the video (File > New Movie recording)
then click on the reveal triangle to select the camera's video and sound (NV-DS37 is my Panasonic Mini DV camera):
Hi. Got the cables but one doesn’t fit in to camera. Any suggestions?
