I have an old Apple iSight camera that I would like to use with my Macbook Air. Is there an adapter for the old Firewire 1394 6 pin to Thunderbolt 3? Will the camera work on the Macbook Air if there is an adapter?

Hello dmaib,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you would like to use an Apple iSight camera with your MacBook Air. I'm happy to help you find some information.


To use an iSight camera, you must have. "Mac OS X v10.2.5 or later and iChat AV." Here is a link for reference:


iSight User’s Guide


You will be able to find an adapter here:


Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter


If you are still having an issue after reviewing the above links, please let me know.


Have a great day!
