CharredPC Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 i will be change over from pc to mac shortly, but i am having difficulty find a mac driver for the acer crystaleye webcam and wondered if anybody could help me?? Sorry to tell you, but... you can't find a driver because there isn't one. Acer webcams are low-resolution ones, so Photobooth etc can't use them even if you get them "going." Best bet is to install OSX and hope that they somewhat work. If you're lucky, you'll get some kind of picture in certain apps. Most times, you won't get any.

luke.m Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 update: just for OSX: follow this link for anybody with the same problem : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofiversi...php/t89629.html and then here is the actual info: Download and install Camtwist- pick Acer CrystalEye Webcam in Camera (lower right) - choose PIP (picture in Picture) as the effect. Verify that your cam is working with the Preview under Tools. - expand the PIP to take up the full size of the window by moving the Scale slider all the way to the right - set the preferences to use CamTwist for all the apps you need it for Then to get Camtwist running on bootup - in System Preferences go to Accounts, Login Items, add CamTwist to open upon login and check "Hide" It loads unobtrusively at bootup and is ready to use. if anyone knows how to get iChat working better, please share. let me know ur findings Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/200441-mac-driver-for-acer-crystaleye-webcam-bison-webcam/#findComment-1349233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
