Creative brand Webcams on a Mac?  Anyone know how to install drivers?

I recently bought a Creative Live! CAM Video IM Ultra: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=218&subcategory=219&product =18194&listby=
I've got a newer (1 year old) Mac Mini running Leopard.
I just want to use this webcam with Skype. Do I need to install the drivers that came with the CD? Or can I just "plug 'n play"? I bought this particular webcam because it was on some "Mac-friendly Webcams" website (they said "these webcams are known to work with Leopard."
I tried to put the CD in, but it wouldn't autoplay (and I'm not sure which files I'd need). They sure don't make this webcam "Mac friendly."
I wasn't sure where to post this question (i hope this is the right area)
Thanks,
Otto

Does you Mac Mini have USB 2.0 ports ?
Are the ones in the keyboard on 1.1 ?

    I would say that you might be able to make it work, but the chances are not good.
    Did you check the manufacturer's requirements? They say "Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 / Windows Vista®" is required.

  • Does anyone know how to install drivers etc for Epson SX435W on new Macbook Pro?

    Hi
    Just purchased new MacBook Pro (OS 10.9) but not sure how to make it work with my Epson SX435W printer. I went to the Epson website to download drivers, they download but when I click on them it says 'cannot be opened because it is an unidentified developer'?!?
    Any advice?
    Apologies if this is simple, I'm not exactly technically literate :-(

  • I accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help

    If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
    Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
    Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
    Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • I have an apple emac powerpc G4 which is running 10.3.9 software. I downloaded the 10.5 leopard software. Does anyone know how to install the 10.5 without using the dvd installer? In dummy terms please?

    The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
    If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
    Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

  • Does anyone knows how to install Iplanet Messaging Express under iWS 6.0

    Does anyone knows how to install Sun One Messaging Express in iWS 6.0?
    I have a server which has been installed with iWS 6.0 and another server which installed Iplanet Messaging Server 5.2.
    anyone can help me on this?

    The Webmail interface for Messaging Server is implemented as its own daemon - it's not a CGI or Servlet that runs through another web server. As such it can not be deployed through Sun ONE Web Server (or any other web server).

  • I can't find in maverics the library/application support/aperture/plugins folder... anyone knows how to install pt lens plug in?

    I can't find in maverics the library/application support/aperture/plugins folder... someone knows how to install pt lens plug in?

    Your user library is hidden by default in Mavericks.
    You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
    Finder > Go
    Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library. Then look for the folder "Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins".
    Alternately you could install the plug-in for all users in "/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins", in the "Library" folder directly on your sytem drive.

  • I bought Illustrator CS6 DVD for Mac OS but cannot see install.app file on disk. Anyone know how I install the program?

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 disk bought for Mac OS but when I run the DVD the disk appears but there is no viewable install content. I can't see an install.app file and the program is not automatically running. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.

    Are you able at all to execute the install file manually?
    You can always try downloading tye installation instead of using the disc.  Your serial number from the disc will work for the download.

    If your other computer is not a Mac then you will need to request a platform swap, which will end your use of the software on the other machine.  You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

    You don't give the exact model number of the Canon printer, but in general I go to the Canon web site, download the appropriate driver, assuming there is on for your model and Mac OS X version, then run the installer, then use System Preferences, Print and Fax. With the printer connected and turned on, it should show up after clicking the plus sign and you can add the printer as a new print queue.

  • Anyone know how to install the SAP/SDN SSO certificate on iOS device?

    Hi all,
    I tried to benefit from Single Sign-On to the various SAP and SDN site on my iPad/iPhone by using the client certificate I already use in my desktop browser, but I haven't had any success using it so far...
    I emailed the certificate to my iPad, and by tapping on the attachment it got (properly?) installed, i.e. at least it is visible under Settings > General > Profile
    However, when navigating to SDN and choosing 'Certificate Logon', it seems to ignore any certificate I have stored and prompting me the username/password logon page...
    Has anyone been able to use SSO using the certificate? I'm quite curious to know how I could achieve this.
    Best regards,
    Robin van het Hof
    Edited by: Robin van het Hof on Nov 22, 2010 12:58 PM

    Good question!
    Whenever I attempt to use the SSO sign on to the forums, my Safari browser crashes.  I do have the Apple iPhone Configuration utility software which allows for companies to deploy certificates and other various items to its users. (free from the apple site)  What I see when I try to apply the cert for this site is, the private key is marked "unexportable".  Therefore I cannot apply that certificate to the device in its entirety.
    I currently run the iPhone 4 with 4.0.1 software (I never update right away)

  • Anyone know how to install Photoshop Elements 6?

    This is probably a dumb question. I just purchased it, and when inserting the dvd I have an open window which appears to contain the program (?) along with some Read Me Files and pdf guides
    Double clicking on what appears to be the program reveals: "Bootstrapper.dmg," "Payloads," "Resources," and "Setup.app." I don't see an installer anywhere (or is it the "setup.app"?
    Neither the pdf guide nor Read Me explain how to install.

    This installer is the slowest I have ever seen. Just let it run - it will eventually finish the install, but go have a few cups of coffee while you wait. Knowing Adobe I wonder what kind of info it is collecting?
