I did a google and downloaded a generic Mac webcam driver and followed instructions and dragged it to some folder that I was told to. I open Photobooth but it says no camera connected. The camera is a Microsoft 3000

By "Microsoft 3000" do you mean "Microsoft Lifecam VX-3000" or some older camera? My VX-5000 worked as soon as I plugged it in, no drivers needed. Which is ironic because it didn't work in Windows even with the drivers installed.
