Installing Creative Webcam?

I've just bought a Mac mini and am struggling to set-up my Creative Wecam Live! which is not configured for OS X. Is there any other solution than buying another webcam?
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iChat USB Cam allows a USB Webcam to be used with iChat AV.
You'll also need this driver which should allow your webcam to work in OS X apps..

USB 2.0 Problem when installing Creative Live Motion Webcam

I currently have a Compaq desktop PC running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest Microsoft patches. However, when I try to install the Creative Live Motion drivers, it warns me that the software components required to support USB 2.0 are not installed.
As a result the Webcam will not function when plugged in directly to the USB 2.0 ports in the PC (either at the back or the front of the PC).
However, if a plug in the Webcam via a USB 4 port Hub (running at USB .) it then works okay.
Can any one please advise how I am suposed to upgrade the software on my PC to convince it to support USB 2.0 attached devices and why does the Webcam not function under certain conditions. Note that I have tried various BIOS configurations regarding its ability to support legacy USB - both Auto and Disabled.
Thanking you in advance.

I found answer for my problem from knowledge base, Solution ID # 7557.
"Creative WebCam Live! Ultra, WebCam Live! Ultra for notebooks and Live! Motion may be incompatible with some ATI southbridge SB400 and SB450 products."
And I have SB400...

Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?

Creative Webcam Vista, Windows 98, Msn 7.0 and windows protection error

Hi I wondered if you could help me.
Im running Windows 98 and have a creative webcam installed. i connect it and it works fine in creative webcam monitor. but when in msn messenger 7.0 i click tools-----> webcam settings the computer then freezes up then after a few minutes the screen goes black with "Windows Protection Error Please Restart Your Computer" comes up.
I'm also running
McAfee Internet Security 7
Spybot
Ad-aware
Spywareguard
A-squared
Spywareblaster
Ive also tried running defrag and scandisk to no avail.
Thanks.

Can you stop the service manually? I would suggest stopping the service, setting it Manual or Disabled, rebooting, and then run the uninstaller again. Hopefully you won't have to resort to uninstalling the service manually.

Creative NX Ultra and Creative WebCam Center.

Hello. Just installed my Creative NX Ultra webcam, and it works good with msn etc, but when I run Creative WebCam Center I get this; "No supported Creative camera detected. Please plug in to continue." I have no idea what to do, I've tried reinstalling the webcam drivers and the webcam center, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi JKM,
I don't have the same issues as you do, but wanted to see if we have the same camera or not, maybe help each other out even.. I'm thinking that I bought my camera a couple of years ago, but I only had it hooked up and tried it once. At that time, it seemed like it worked fine, but now the video doesn't look that great and I'm even wondering if it is the right software! I have a seperate headset. But being as I've never turned it on again after that, I've had to reinstall and not 100% sure if there is an upgrade or not for the software. So what version software do you have?
I have version 2.03.01 and it says PC-CAM Center for the NX ultra. I says Instant Live Video chats, but being as I'm not to sure yet how to use it, I am wonderng why it tells me to "save".. I would have thought that if your using it online, why would you save it?
At anyrate.. if you or anyone else should see this, is there a higher version for the software?
AND, I want some advice of what to buy for working online, I need a camera for this. Am I supposed to get a new headset to match?..
I hope someone gets back to me soon, cause I've been advised to buy another brand and I really don't want to, being as Everything else on my computer is set up for sound using Creative labs.

Search drivers for Creative webcam N10225, PD1110 on Windows Vista 64

I'm searching drivers to run my webcam on a Pc with windows vista 64
Creative webcam N10225, PD1110
Thank You

I'm in a similar situation with the Intel 6850, 4 MB of RAM, and the Xi-Fi Extreme Music. I am running VISTA Home Premium 64 bit. I bought my new computer at the end of Sept. and the sound has been on and off mostly off since then. Most of the time I just get static. I have the latest driver installed (I think its Nov. 4) but very, very poor sound.

Help please!!!

Hi,
Are you getting this error from the Webcam Control software or is this appearing in the task bar from the Wecam Detector program?
Do you have any additional hardware installed typically a scanner or maybe a tv capture card?
Try going into Scanners and Cameras, what do you see there?

Creative WebCam Notebook PD1170 max non software interpolated mode?

MODEL:
PD70
PRODUCT NAME:
Creative WebCam Notebook
PRODUCT HOMEPAGE:
http://www.creative.com/products/pro...53&product=629
I brought it at the days of 2004 when the mic was yet not included in the package case.
QUESTION:
What is the physical hardware capability for image resolution (not software interpolated) of the PD1170 web camera to capture still images?
FEATURES
http://www.creative.com/products/pro...duct=629&nav=0
capture sharp and highly-detailed video and snapshots at up to 640 x 480 resolution.
640x480 (VGA) image sensor
Featuring an advanced image sensor at 640 x 480 resolution, get true color reproduction and detailed videos every time you use it.
SPECIFICATIONS
http://www.creative.com/products/pro...oduct=629&nav=
Highest Still Image Resolution: 640 X 480
Highest Video Resolution: 640 X 480
I suspect this "Highest Still Image Resolution 640x480" is "software interpolated" because the FEATURES-page uses the wording "at UP TO to 640 x 480 resolution" and by other Creative web-cameras the pictures with biggest dimensions are usually taken with software interpolation mode enabled.
Creatives marketing seems to have taken care that different web cameras seem to be incomparable as the product webpages dont offer consistent information.
I have limited storage space on hard disk and I want to run "Capture at regular intervals" session over a longer period of time, pointed at construction site.
If I would know the maximum resolution mode, which is not software interpolated, then I could optimize my disk usage by taking the still image shots at the maximum physical resolution the camera actually can handle and get the best quality out of it at the minimal cost of hard disk capacity consumption.
And then afterwards if I need pictures which would look bigger, then interpolate the taken shots manually by myself with IrfanView or Photoshop or with whatever program that can resize image.
I assume, that running webcam with the software interpolation enabled is basically equal to what I can achieve afterwards with Photoshop or Irfanview if I make the picture dimensions bigger in previously mentioned software programs.
Currently I have taken still image shots at regular intervals in 640*480 mode outside my window.
The picture quality is poor, yet 640*480 images in BMP format consume huge amount of disk space (900KB each).
I have already some tens of gigabytes saved onto HDD... ;D
As the image quality is already poor as it is, I dont want to use JPG format, because JPG is lossy format and therefore it would make a poor image look even more poor.
Because of the 640*480 image quality looks poor, I assume that the image quality in 640*480 by "PD1170 Creative WebCam Notebook" is alreay software interpolated and therefore it would make much more sense to make still image shots at some lower resolution such as 352x288.
Am I correct?
Therefore I need to know the maximum non interpolated mode. So..
What is the physical hardware capability (not software interpolated) of the PD70 web camera to capture still images?

the Device Manager error message reads:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
Also, i followed the instructions to do a clean boot, and installed it that way (after uninstalling it first, obviously) and it still gave me an error message in the bottom corner saying there was an error installing the hardware. To clarify this, after the wizard directs me to connect the Webcam, it automatically closes, and the error message i see, i believe, is from Windows.
To make sure i'm doing this correctly, and know what i'm talking about, i want to lay out what i've been doing. I downloaded the driver from the Creative website. I made sure that i had no existing drivers or anything on my system for this equipment. I then simply "run" the driver installation, and follow the directions until it directs me to insert the camera, at which time the wizard closes, and i get the error message.

Creative Webcam GO! no snapshot motion detection

Hi bascially I have downloaded the avail software from Creative downloadables
for my Creative WebCam Go!.
what i needed intially was motion detection with snapshooting capabilty until the motion ends.
but instead the Webcam Monitor provides :
- continious snapshooting after the monitor starts (endless process until user click stop monitor)
- video caption when motion is detected and for a period (in seconds) you have configured in the settings
and awaits next motion after the period ends.
So here i hope to have a combination of the 2 avail options . Which is :
- snapshooting images when motion is detected for a period of time configured . And awaits next motion after the period ends.

I have a web cam go as well and my XP PRO won't even let me install the drivers even after having it continue anyways.

Have you tried installing Creative Live! Cam Notebook Pro Driver 1.02.06 ? That's the XP driver for your camera. I also replied to your PM.

Installation Software for Creative WebCam NX Pro

I need installation software for my Creative WebCam NX Pro. My own installation cd is apparently damaged and will only load to 5%. I have owned and used the cam since 2004.
I have Googled for: Creative WebCam, Creative WebCam NX Pro and Creative WebCam NX Pro Installation Software with no luck. There are many sites that offer drivers but no full installation software.
My custom pc uses Win XP with sp3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated ..... MurphysLaw09

Did you ever install Acrobat? It is not installed automatically with CS, but requires an extra installation step.
