Webcams on a Mac?  Anyone know how to install drivers for a webcam?

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, so I posted it a couple places.
Thanks,
Otto

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 :-(

    Set Gatekeepe to allow installation of apps from third parties.

  • 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

    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).

    qmail may know that.Yes, but you should still post that question in another forum. I bet that most software developers knows how to boil eggs, but should I ask about that here?

  • TS4009 I upgraded my Icloud storage yesterday by 10GB, but one day later realize I did not need to do so.  The apple advice is to cancel within 15 days for a refund, but does not tell you how to do so.  Anyone know how to contact apple for this purpose?

  • How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

    how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

    mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
    Hello
    I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
    #pacman -Sy
    #pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
    #pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
    After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode).  Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
    #lsmod | grep -i fglrx
    If the resultant output have "fglrx" part  the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
    #cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
    Then issue
    #aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
    This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
    #telinit 3
    I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
    issue
    #gdm
    If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
    To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
    #fgl_glxgears
    If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
    #fglrxinfo
    Now the installed driver version is in the output 
    If there is any problem try following
    ##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
    yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
    sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
    Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
    ### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
    mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
    Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
    ####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
    ####### as in the following example

  • HT1338 does anyone know how to get Java for OS X Mountain Lion working?

    I updated to OS X Mountain Lion and some of the game at (Pogo.com) that use Java are not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance

    Open up Java Preferences and it will offer to download and install Java for you.
    Otherwise you can open up a Terminal and type:
    java -version
    Which will do the same thing.

  • 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:
