Will this cable attach a Macbook Air thunderbolt to an older Macbook with a firewire?

No, Thunderbolt is all together different. Your old Macbook likely supports firewire 400 which again is different. The cable does not support firewire 400 or thunderbolt however, =there are adapters and likely cables available that support the conversion.

No. You'd need a Thunderbolt-to-firewire adapter, which Apple sells, in addition to a firewire cable such as this one. And I don't think any MacBooks used the mini Firewire connector, only the larger FW400 and the newer FW800 connectors. So this cable wouldn't help you at all.

Hi, thanks for your email, yes if your Mac has Firewire port.Take care, Norman.

It should - I believe that MacBook has a FW 800 port. You will need a FW 800 to 400 cable - the enclosure has 2 such ports. It also has a USB B socket, but file transfer would be slower than FireWire.

I just have mine hooked to my Mac through firewire so, I don't know for sure but, it should work.

On the 2013 iMac you will need the thunderbolt to firewire adaptor as well as this adaptor to connect your firewire 400 device.

It should work. The bottom piece of the drive pulls off to expose the connectors, so that you can just slip the drive onto the Thunderbolt adapter

Do not think it works in your MacBook Air, this connector convert Firewire 800 to 400; you need to support firewire to USB converter, visit: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-IEEE-1394-FireWire-Adapter-Pin/dp/B000067SO3/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1380487592&sr=8-12&keywords=IEEE+1394+FireWire+6+Pin+female+to+USB+Male+Adapter

What firewire port do you have on your Mac Mini? If it is the new format then yes, if not then no.

Yes for the Fire Wire, but if attempting to use on a new Apple device with Thunderbolt 2 you will need to purchase the Fire Wire Adapter from Apple.

From the Apple site:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5219#1212. Will Apple's Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable, Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter, or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter work when plugged into the Apple Mini DisplayPort on my Mac?No, the Apple Thunderbolt cable, FireWire Adapter, and Gigabit Ethernet Adapter require a Thunderbolt port to function. They may still fit in a Mini-DisplayPort connector but will not be recognized or otherwise function.

I don't think so...OSX won't drive all the interface out the firewire port, as it does for thunderbolt.

This depends on what MacPro you have. Mine did not have thunderbolt ports, but a new radeon graphics card did have 2 thunderbolt ports. I think firewire 800 is the fastest cable for your MacPro.

Although it doesn't have a FireWire connection, you can use it with the USB connection. My idea was that this would be a temporary solution till I get my new Mac with thunderbolt and then it will fly. Hope this helps.

Working on my mac mini perfectly. USB3.0 and OSX Mavericks. I have not used the firewire port but I assume it will work well.

Yes it will as far is the FireWire 800 port is concerned. I used the Elago to transfer/record video from my DVR and old VHS tapes (via a Canopus ADVC110) to my 2012 Macbook Pro. Only drawback in my opinion is the Thunderbolt connection adjacent to it is too close to the thick Elago adapter, so you wouldn't be able to have both the Thunderbolt and Elago plugged in at the same time.
