I went out and got a creative live cam optia for use with skype and wanted to use it for photobooth but all i get is a green screen with noise at the top. If there anything i need to download so that my new webcam is completely compatible with my mac?

You could try downloading macam. Just see on this list if your exact webcam model is supported.

Let us know if this works. Good luck!

May we presume it at least works with Skype? I have a similar issue with a Logitech Quickcam Pro for Notebooks, but it works well with Skype at least.

but not photobooth. i didn't install anything like maccam and it worked straight from plugging it in. maybe its just photobooth that doesn't like third party cams?
