Can't use Skype on my mac

I just downloaded and paid for skype but I can't use it.  There is no side bar and no way to make calls or add contacts.  Help!

You've downloaded Skype, but have you installed it? The process is not automatic.

  • Can I use Skype for my business?

    Hi,
    I have a SKype number and been using it for my business for a year already. Today I've received an email from Skype saying that I can't use Skype for commercial purpose. I'm confused because I've seen so many people saying that they use Skype for their business. Here's the message I've just received:
    "We have noticed some prohibited usage of your subscription.
    We will continue to monitor your account, your calling behavior and your overall activity using Skype. If the prohibited usage still continues, your subscription will be disconnected. You will no longer be able to use or purchase any of Skype’s paid-for products.
    The suspension of your access to Skype paid-for products will be permanent and you will be unable to transfer any existing products to a new Skype account, or receive a refund. However, you will be able to continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages.
    We remind you that Skype’s products are for personal, individual and non-commercial use only. Our Fair Usage Policy can be found within our term of uses. Our subscriptions cannot be shared or used for commercial gain, such as telemarketing or call centre operations"
    Do I have to register for a business account or what? Or what should I do now? This number have been using as my business contact and I can't change it. Please help.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.

  • Can't use Back to my Mac on OS X Lion

    Hi,
    I have upgraded both my MacBook Pro and iMac 27" to OS X Lion, and set up everything as suggested for the iCloud, but I still can't use Back to my Mac function.  In fact, on the macbook pro, I can't even see the shared sidebar (after trying several suggestions from the communities from 2008).  And on the iMac, I can see the shared sidebar, but there is no option for Back to my Mac.  I sware I've ticked Back to my Mac on the Finder's preferences, and everything apparent from the iCloud.
    It'd be great if someone can point me to the right direction.  Thanks!
    Cheers,

    Carolyn,
    After clicking your link, I think the solution described therein may work -- however, I brought my MBP to the Genius Bar and gave it to them the next 24-48 hours so they could run diagnostic tests, so I am not able to experiment with your solution.  I will say this, though: while I was still trying to fix it myself, I DID get the "Allow me to use my Apple ID to reset my account password" checkbox, which I checked, and on the next screen where it lists my various User Accounts (mine, and Guest), I clicked on mine, typed the password (and every conceivable other password I could possibly think of), but nothing worked.  Then, when it gave me my security question and gave me a link to "Reset my password," no other window popped up to allow me to perform the reset.
    All in all, I'm fairly convinced this is a hardware issue, not a software issue.  My system recognizes my HD sometimes, but not others. Perhaps there is something wrong with the cable connecting the HD to the logic board.

    can i use a 60 watts mac charger for an i.book G4    

    I use a 65 watt for both a G4 iBook and a G4 Powerbook. The 60 watt would just be a little slower. I assume it is not an Apple charger as a 60 watt  is not listed in the linked article.

  • What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.

    Two thoughts:
    (1)     It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
    (2)     You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
    Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
    Good luck.

  • Ipod hp.. can you use it on a mac computer?

    Im going to buy a new computer soon, and i was considering a mac. my only question is if my ipod hp version will work on a mac. any info would help, thanks.

    Then when you get your Mac you will need to download the Mac version of the iPod software updater, and run it to restore your iPod to Mac format. You can then use it on the Mac. Note that this will erase the music on your iPod.

  • Can I use iPod on both Mac & PC?

    Can I use iPod on both Mac & PC?

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC, this would also mean any future software updates would have to be done on Windows. Strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported however many people use one without any issue. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac; however Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

  • If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?

    If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?
    Obviously there's no voice or data roaming for Verizon 3G/4G/CDMA phones in Europe.... (or am I wrong?)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello WCMack,
    That was a great explanation on the situation. Just to confirm, Europe uses GSM for their wireless network. There are third party apps that will allow you to make calls via wi-fi on a wi-fi enabled device. This is largely due if wi-fi is available and if it's free.
    From my experience, I was able to make wi-fi calls on my Iphone 4 in Greece without any problems last month. Since we don't own any towers in Europe, the service is hit or miss. Feel free to update us when you get back.
    Enjoy your trip!...

  • Can I use Skype on my Kycero Hydro vibe android ph...

    Can I use Skype on my Kyocera Hydro Vibe Android phone?

    Hello, it depends on what version Android OS you have,
    - https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10328/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-skype
    To run the latest version of Skype for Android (Skype 5), you'll need to have Android OS version 4.0 or above. If you're running Android OS 2.3 and above, you can run Skype 4 for Android. You will also need to know what type of processor your device has. If you're not sure, check the device's user manual, or contact its manufacturer. For the following processors:
    ARMv7 processors (or processors capable of running its instruction set): Skype is fully supported.
    ARMv6 processors: Skype can run on these devices but video calling is not supported. Examples of ARMv6 processor devices: Samsung Galaxy Ace, HTC Wildfire.
