Can't install latest Skype update on OS X 10.5.8
I get a message that my version of Skype is to be retired. Then I find my operating system, which cannot be updated (Mac OS X 10.5. is unable to run the latest Skype.
So I need a new computer?
6.15.334 actually works pretty well on the Mac, but the question is for how long....
Mocrosoft have decied to retired 6.14, which means that in about 8 months to a year, they will decide that 6.15 is due to be retired to, and that's it, gone.
The requirements for 6.19 are utterly stupid - a 1 Ghz CPU with Mavericks??????
The person who wrote that knows nothing about MacOS - there is not a single Mac with a 64bit EFI architecture that has a 1Ghz CPU, and the 32bit EFI machiens won't run Mavericks.
As Microsoft are prone to enforcing a hardware requirement whether it's needed or not (the requirement of PAE on a 64bit system when installing Windows 8.1 is a prime example), once they decide to ditch 6.19, we're stuck.
The windows version (desktop and metro ui) is terrible, bugridden, overcomplicated, cluttered and slow. The Mac version looks cleaner, is pretty lean, and runs fast on my 8 y/o macbook.
It's the only saving grace with Skype at the moment, and they're going to drop it when they feel like it, and sod all of us who don't have a brand spanking new mac.
Regarding 10.5.8, unless you're on a G5, I would suggest an upgrade to at least 10.6.8 (as far as you can go on a Core Duo 32bit), or 10.7.x on anything above a Core 2 Duo.
Even if you can only go up to 10.6.8, it's a big improvement over 10.5.x.

Can't install latest security update
Hi all,
Hope Someone can help me out in this problem. I've been installing the latest security update (Security Update 2008-002) for many times, but every time the installation bar reaches its end, I get this message:
A networking error has occurred: Error NSURLErrorDomain -1005 (-1005). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.
I'm quite confidant that the Internet connections is working properly. This problem has occurred more than 5 times!
Any suggestions guys?
BTY, I'm using the Safari 3.1, if this has anything to do with the problem.
Thanks...boabdo wrote:

*Hi boabdo, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Take a CD and a smile to a friend w Mac and DSL or an AASP or a Public Library w Macs or an Internet Café w Macs. I add the "w Mac" cuz I saw a thread where DL was PC version. For a SU that may not be relevant so even if PC it may work.
Good Luck, JP -
Help since installing latest software updates I now can't open safari????
Hi Stewartirl,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you only having issues opening Safari? Are you able to connect to the internet with other Browsers or using Mail?
The article below is a good starting point for troubleshooting. I'd start by plugging in an ethernet cable and restarting the computer. If the wired (LAN) connection works, then unplug the ethernet cable and continue troubleshooting the wireless connection.

Installed latest itunes update and computer tried to burn a playlist to CD and realized computer no longer recognizes my CD/DVD drive. After doing some data mining, found out from community this is an long standing APPLE problem- which doesn't get much tech support in terms of fixes. I have an HPPavillion DV6 64 bit, Windows 7 OS . After reading an earlier complaint from 2009 in the support community, I ran diagnostics from ITunes which gave the following result. Can someone please help? (I'm not enough of a techie to know what I'm doing or how to locate /reinstall CD drivers. I am searching for driver disc but cannot locate.)

Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update
MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas? -

Expected in: /Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks/SFArchiving.framework/Versions/A/SFArchivingI'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Can't install latest version of itunes. "Errors occurred during installation. Your system has not been modified." Help?
I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?
This is a User-to-User forum. We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5. I could be wrong.
If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X. -
I installed latest software updates today and now iphoto won't work at all - heeelllppp!
Hello
i installed latest software updates today and since then iphoto will not work at all. The window oens but it remains blank, and when I go to force quit it says iphoto not responding, so it's as if it's crashing on startup. I can't access my photo library or put new photos in the library from my camera, in fact I can't do anything at all with it.
I am in Africa a long way from home and tech support, so please can anyone help me?? Im a bit desperate as my whole photo library is inaccessible, and it will be months before I am back in the UK.
I am not hugeley techie so plain English please.

Huge smileys in latest Skype update
In the latest skype update, whenever you post a smiley on its own it becomes this huge animated thing which takes up two lines of text. Is there a way to stop it from doing that so it stays the normal size, like if you add a smiley to an existing line of text? It's very annoying.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.That's not a bug, that's a FEATURE DON'T YOU ENJOY THE GIGANTIC EMOTICONS OMGOSH WE CAN BARELY SEE THE MESSAGES AND NOW THIS! No way to turn it off in Windows either. YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
Turn off Emoticons or do this:
Download Skype 6.21 from here filehippo.com/download_skype/58884/
then go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> Skype Updater -> set to DISABLED
then go to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Security -> Restricted Sites -> Sites -> add apps.skype.com and g.msn.com -

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5/6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Just tried to download and install latest ITunes update and it would not finish update. I aborted the update and then my ITunes will not open. I keep getting and error stating that file MSVCR80.dll not found. I reinstalled my original ITune file but this did not clear this error. Any ideas.
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.
