Can not open SKYPE on OS 10.3

I am living in Thailand - and SKYPE could be the ultimate solution for me, to speak with my friends and family in Germany. What a pity, that SKYPE does not work on my Macintosh G4 with OS 10.3.
The system requirements of my Mac are okay, the download of SKYPE was fine, and the installation was more than easy. But when I double click the SKYPE application in the application folder, the icon appears for one second in the dock of OS 10.3 - then it disappears again and the program does not start.
I repeated the installation for three times - with the same result: The program still does not start.
Any ideas where the problem is - and what I can do against it?

Hi Dietmar,
Greetings from Australia!
Do you have OS 10.3.9? You need to have this before you can use Skype. If you haven't, you can easily download the 10.3.9 combo from Apple Downloads. Make sure you verify/re[air per missions both before and after the download.
If you have already got 10.3.9, then something is obviously going wrong with your installation of Skype. When you double click on the DMG, it should open a folder with the Skype application in it, you only put the Skype icon in applications, not the whole folder. Once you do this it should open with a double click. I find it easier to keep the Skype icon in the dock.
Hope this helps, otherwise post back and we'll have another try.
Cheers

    This might help your problems, http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/gizmoproject.html this is a similar program to Skype and in a sense does the same thing. In addition to that, have you looked to Skypes Online Support?

  • Ran disk utility repair permissions....now I can not open any applications on my Mac mini

    my Mac mini (mid 2011. OS X 10.9.1). Was running very slow so I ran repair permissions...after re-booting my computer I can not open any apple applications.  I keep getting a pop up window that says " finder quit unexpectedly". When trying to open safari " safari quit unexpectedly".  I can open skype, google chrome.   The computer indicates that wifi is on and connected - however I can't seem to log into Skype or access any web pages.  What to do next?
    One more thing, I keep getting pop up windows asking for passwords for different items if or keychain...I have tried to put in my password, but that doesn't work. Not sure what password it is looking for but the window won't go away even when I hit cancel

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive.  OS X: About OS X Recovery
    Then see if you can restart normally.

  • MacBook Air can not open any pages in internet.

    Hello, my new MacBook Air (just bought it) can not open any pages in internet. In >System preferences > Network it says that Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet But Skype is working very OK on it at the same time... HELP... Also my old MacBook is working OK.

    Be patient and wait for someone to reply. This is a user to user forum, we are all volunteers. Another thing you can do is contact AppleCare or bring your machine into an Apple Store or AASP. Perhaps they will have some suggestions.

  • Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

    I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer.  The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7  (Windows error 126)"  I can not open my Itunes.  I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages.  Please help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • CAN NOT OPEN  CANON EOS20D  RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

    I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

    You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)

  • I can not open adobe files. mainly ones that end in doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert .doc files

    I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.

    Hi,
    Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
    If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
    Please let me know if that works.
    If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

  • Can not open a particular web site

    Hi, I always tried to open one web site and it used to open well in Firefox and IE. but since last few days it stopped opening both in FF and IE. It gives error as
    1. The connection has timed out The server at www.eng-tips.com is taking too long to respond.
    2.If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    3.If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    I Google with all above questions and tried most of the solutions, nothing works. Wondering why it stooped opening suddenly ? I tried to open it from other locations just to check if its down but its fine and working but can not open from my home internet. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
