    I have an iSight model and it comes with those annoying clips that need an "Apple Access" card to unlock. SSD installed but struggling to close the case. Anyone got a method or tips they can share? It's same case on 2006 Intel iMacs

    Does anyone know the pinout of the isight cam 12 pin so I can make a USB cam

    Does anyone know the pinout of the camera so I can make a USB cam ?? The webcam I have taken from a Macbook Air has ten black wires - no color at all. I can’t find any part numbers online. I have tried multiple methods of trial and error and only had error. Any ideas ?

    Where to purchase iSight Wecam for 2016 MacBook Pro

    Dear MacRumors Community, My 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro (A1708)'s iSight Webcam is broken after the diagnosis by Apple tech support today. I searched online, Amazon doesn't sell it and the one sold on eBay doesn't look like it is the original manufacturer selling it. The repair by Apple is $800...

    iSight Camera on PowerPC

    Hi all, I have an iSight camera arriving in a few days, and I’m trying to figure out if it can work on a PowerPC Mac with any kind of video calling these days. I can’t see that FaceTime is likely to be compatible, but any thoughts on in-browser solutions, iChat, or more imaginative...

    Bring iSight Back

    For those too young to remember, Apple once made a webcam called iSight. Samsung's new M8 monitors have a magnetically attachable webcam. Dell at CES 2022 announced a magnetic wireless camera that can be detached and placed anywhere. It has an internal battery and the dock on top of the...

    Keylogger on iMac

    Hello, I've recently learned that a stalker has stolen my spare key and has had access to my iMac while I was away from home. I believe she installed a keylogger on my iMac. My question is: if the keylogger had used my camera, would the green light have turned on, even when taking a quick...

    iSight video cam & mic into 2018 MM?

    This question may raise a chuckle or two, but it is sincere. About twice a year I do holiday Skypes with family and I was able to keep my ancient iSight going with my mid-2010 MM up through High Sierra using an adaptor to the Firewire 800 port on my 2010 MM. Is there a way to make it work...

    When will Macs get better FaceTime Cameras? They're inferior to the cameras on the iPhones

    It's been crossing my mind but I find it funny that the cameras on our iPhones are miles ahead of the ones that come with our MacBooks and iMacs. You would think that the cameras would be on par or even better on the Macs because they have more room to work with. I really hope the next updates...
