Summary
-
MACOS 26 Tahoe Legi is removing all support for the firewire, affecting legacy hardware users.
-
The firewire introduced in 1999 was faster than the USB, but eventually became old.
-
Top users dependent on the firewire should now run the old Mac to run the old Macos versions.
You have probably not used a computer with a firewire port over the years, but it was still supported within Macos. It was the original USB killer before the USB improved later. Now, however, the firewire is being completely killed this time for good.
The company has removed all support for the data transfer standard in McOS 26 Taho’s first developer beta. Developers and beta testers have reported that firewire devices no longer appear in system information apps, disk utility or finder. Even when the Thunderbolt-to-Fire is connected through the adapter or dock, which has served as a lifeline for heritage hardware, MACOS fails to identify 26 devices. This means that the classic hardware, including the first generation iPod, which was particularly dependent on the firewire, will no longer compatible with the latest Mac operating system.
Firewire, officially known as IEEE 1394, was first introduced by Apple on PowerMac G3 in 1999. At a time when the first generation of USB offered dull speed, 400 megabits per second transfer rate of Firewire 400 was a game-chainer, which was 30 times faster than the USB. The performance quickly installed firewire as a go-to interface for creative professionals in digital video editing, external storage and professional audio. The USB eventually won the battle, as you probably know, but the firewire was a good idea in the day and then a necessary fix for a real issue for users.
After all, the firewire is being offered as a connectivity option on new Mac computers. In mid -2011, IMAC was the final for the facilitating the underlying connection. However if you In fact The required firewires were options that you could use, such as the above Thunderbolt-to-Firevier Adapter. Macos 26 closed firewire support for good with 26 tahoe, this is no longer an option, at least if you update to the latest version of Macos. It also continues the tradition of killing the old McOS 26. It is also the final version of Macos to support Intel Mac, and it is going to a full apple silicon like next year. Apple’s first and original file sharing protocol AFP’s death is also imminent.

Macos Tahoe 26 update is coming later this year.
For the vast majority of Mac users, the MACOS 26 Taho will be a non-phenomenon to remove the firewire support, a final footnot for a technique that has been separated for a long time. However, for a niche group of people who still depend on old firewire-based equipment, such as the recording studio to the archaeologists who reach the legacy audio interfaces or the old drive, this change will require them to run the McOS sequia to maintain the old Mac Hardware or to ensure that they can continue to use it. For other people, however, I am sure you would not have noticed it if we don’t tell you about it. (You can detect only Macos still Supports it.)
