Which firewire lead do I need (iMac to Macbook Pro)?
Do I need a 9-pin to 9-pin lead, or is it something different at the laptop end?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Also, unlike USB, both devices are equal, so the connector is the same at both ends.
By the way, you may see this cable referred to as a Beta Cable or a 1394b cable, although Firewire 800 cable is the most common name.

M$If 400 then yes, a 9pin to 9pin lead would work.
If 800 then a firewire 800 cable will do the trick.
