Chromecast Support for Skype on Mac

Please sort this one out. It's a no-brainer. If Microsoft are avoiding supporting Chromecast just because of the ongoing feud with Google that's frankly rather dumb.
Please allow us the experience we want so that those of us without smart tvs who already have high quality cameras and mics on our macbooks can enjoy the big screen experience. If we can't invest in new tvs and cameras, and we're not gamers, we're hardly going to be shelling out for xboxes etc.
Thanks

I'd buy the monitor cable because it's inexpensive and works with everything.    If  you buy a vendor specific device, don't be surprised when it's support is limited in many ways to it's own products and services.  You chose to limit yourself by buying that device.  If I buy a universal TV remote I don't call to complain to the TV manufacturer that their TV doesn't work with the 3rd party remote.  I call the universal remote company for assistance with their product.  In this instance you purchased an item that didn't even claim to be universal.  They do however invite companies (at their own expense) to add support for it.  That's like me making a similar device and demanding Skype add software to make it compatible with my device.  It may be nice but unless money or favors are exchanged in the real world, it is more than likely not going to happen.  If I were to make a similar device I would make sure it did not require other companies to make changes to their software to cater to it.
People have found unofficial ways of getting it to work on Android.

  • Support for Skype Number Calling ID Australia

    Hi there
    So I was wondering if there will be any support for skype number calling id in the future in australia. It is quite frustrating not having any support for ksype calling id in australia. Was wondering when support will become availible. I'm sure many of you are also feeling my pain. You pay enough for the number so you should be able to have the number as the out going caller id.
    Thanks.

    When will we be able to use the Skype supplied number for CID (Caller ID) in Australia?
    I've been trying to get a straight answer for this for over 3 years.  The closest I had was that the system can only verify the owner of a number by sending an SMS to it.  Well, if Skype supplies the number in the first place they already have me validated!
    Given that a mobile number can be used in Australia already why can't the Skype number be put into place? 
    Can a moderator or support staff please comment here?
    Thank you.  Daymo.

  • Camera is not working for Skype in Mac OS Maverics

    Hi,
    I have MacBook Pro (Mid 2012).  I have updated it to MAC OS Maverics.
    Since then camera is not working for Skype (Version 6.8.0.351)- only at the start it works for few seconds and then it freezes.

    Please suggest some wayout from this.

  • Mozilla support for Windows and Mac

    My application work on Firefox 11 on windows operating system. Can I assume that my application will also work on Firefox 11 on Mac operating system?
    Or there are certain changes that needs to be done in my application to support firefox on Mac operating system?

    My problem is I am developing a website and making it compatible with Firefox 11. I have verified it on Windows Operating system. However, users wants to use firefox 11 on MAC operating system. I want to know supporting firefox version 11 will support both Windows and MAC operating system?

  • Getting Apple support for a corrupted .Mac password

    Can someone give me an address at Apple where I can get support that will help me get into my .mac and mac mail accounts? I have called support and visited a Genius Bar but they both say I have to write. I have written e-mails to Apple Support and they promise to answer in 48 hours but after weeks no response. I need contact information where I can get some response.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry to hear it. Perhaps you could get more attention for your situation if you insist on having the password changed or obtaining a refund.

  • RTL & Indian Language Support for Indesign CS6 Mac

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Indesign CS6 Mac version and need support to using Arabic and Indian Language Support. I am not able to write this language. When I am pasting from Word or anywhere text is going cracked.
    I also learn to enable language support from Character setting but I can't find Kashidas option on my Indesign.
    It will be very helpful if some one support how to enable this option or download.
    Best Regards,
    Rakesh

    That's because Larry is correct, and Ellis is correct about you needing to take Larry's advice if you don't have the World-Ready Composer in your menu. You need something like the World Tools plugin from InTools to access the complex-script tools not available in the menus in your install of CS6.
    (Or you could employ Ellis' other suggestion and move to the Cloud. But World Tools is rather less expensive in the long term.)

  • Xfinity TV App Chromecast Support for IPAD

  • Upgrade support for users on Mac 10.6 and above

    Help: I received a message from Skype that my Mac system (10.6. was using an outdated version of Skype and that I needed to upgrade to Skype version 6.15.0.335.  So I did so and whenever I have tried to open the new version of Skype it says I can't open the skype file since I am using an outdated version.  I have tried about 8 times now and keep getting the same outcome.  Help please.  Thanks?  ejpj

    I'll be happy to get skype back on my very old secondary laptop that still must remain on 10.5.8 ... it cannot be updated, so at least I'll be able to get my skype back. In the future, I hope you'll make sure NOT to disable a previous version of skype until you've verified that the new downloaded version will install on that person's configuration. It should just say sorry, you can't update your version of skype, not disable your current working version and then say that.

  • OpenCL support for HD 400

    I am stupefied to find out that there is no driver support for openCL in mac  for the HD4000 intel integrated graphic card.
    I have found support in Linux and Windows !!
    Despite this seems a minor issue, this utterly implies that whenever an application makes use of openCL GPGPUs,
    the programs will run considerable slowly in MAC than in windows !!
    My question is: Do you know when will mac reslease these drivers ? Is there any plans for it ? Have they stoped supporting openCL?
    Is this a marketing strategy for making users spend about 1000 $ more in other computer with discrete graphics in order to have access
    to this accelerated GPGPU programing?

    i was chatting with a support person
    i dont think he knew what it was talking about
    my problem is that i understand that this card was not available before the premiere cc version came out
    but fromwhat  i understand afterwards some cards were available for mercury playback accelaration even though they were not certified
    the intel hd card is available for use in premiere cc and adobe media encoder cc as well
    i just need to know (like the person before me) if there is a way to make my gpu available for that new version now
    or if this is something in the works for later

  • HT6114 camera is not working in my mac for skype and facetime

    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
       often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update.  For your
       Mac OS X (10.7.5), the latest Combo is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

  • Chromecast has withdrawn support for my MacBook OS X10.6.8

    Have used the chromecast since January.  Recently has required reinstalling every week or 2.  This week, I could not proceed through the setup as the chromecast would not connect with my WIFI network using the procedures that had worked before.  After some beating around the bush, the chromecast support folks admitted that a recent "upgrade" withdrew support of Macs under OS 10.7 about 10 days ago. I have OS 10.6.8 which has worked fine until August, then was working with need to reprogram at intervals until it could not be reinstalled for the last week and a half.  Do I have any options?

    Chromecast is not unique with this attitude.   Garmin Sat Navs is another one.   All you can do is find an alternative, in your case ... Nexus?  
    It appears the cost of updating the system is financially not worth the effort (who cares about the client any more) but who are we to argue.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • 11.1.2 support for Mac OS?

    The 11.1.2 certification matrix for JDev can be found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/jdev11gr2-cert-405181.html
    Under the operating system category for the Mac OS the supported version is "Apple Mac OS X 10.6-". Note the dash at the end.
    The 11.1.2 installation guide can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16162_01/install.1112/e17074/ojdig.htm#BDCFFEJC
    Under section 1 for the Mac OS it says the supported version is "For Apple Mac OS X Version 10.6 or later".
    Questions:
    a) Which one is right?
    b) If the certification matrix is correct, what's the dash at the end mean? Versions prior to 10.6? Does that rule out 10.6.8?
    c) If the installation guide is correct, is Lion supported?
    Thanks,
    CM.

    Ah the footnote explains it. When I copied the text across to post in this forum, the dash turned into a space, and I typed it back in to be consistent, but I didn't understand why I needed to do this. Now I think in the 11.1.2 certification matrix the dash is in fact the left over underscore for the superscript footnote from the previous notes, probably just copied and pasted in by accident.
    With regards to 10.7, in seeking clarification on the support can you also determine if 10.7 Lion support is planned please, and what Oracle's future JDev support for this platform are. It'll matter to a number of us ACEDs are we're running JDev on MacBook Pros. Obviously we can go with VMs, but the preferred platform is native on Mac OS.
    Thanks for your assistance,
    CM.

  • No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac

    No Adobe support for CC Team Members if you have installed Parallels on your Mac
    First let me make it clear my iMac is running native OS X 10.8.5 and all Adobe Creative Cloud Apps are install on the iMac running natively in the OS X system environment. I only have Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac installed to run Microsoft Office software in Windows 7 when needed (because PowerPoint for Mac sucks big time compared to the PC version)… absolutely no Adobe CC Apps have been installed on the Parallels virtual PC environment.
    I have been having problems with Creative Cloud Desktop not updating so I uninstalled it and tried to install the latest version from Adobe. I then get the following error:
    We've encountered the following issues:
    There seems to be a problem accessing a critical file/directory during download. For troubleshooting tips. please visit our customer support page. (Error code: 204)
    [retry] [cancel]
    This has happened all last week. Because we have been so busy at work I waited until the weekend to contact the 24/7 chat support.
    This was going well. I was sharing my desktop with the agent who was adjusting the permissions of some folder. The problem came when he launched chrome on Parallels and not on the MAC and tried to install the PC EXE version of CC desktop. When I pointed this out to the Agent he instantly stop the screen share and stated in the chat box that virtual computers are not supported and I must find my own solution without giving me an opportunity to explain.
    Every time I tried to start the chat again I was cut-off while trying to explain that Adobe CC was running natively under a native OS X and the Virtual PC was a separate to this
    Only after my 4th attempt (having per cut an pasted my arguement into the chat box) did a get any further. The Agent refused to continue to try and fix my problem but did say the Adobe engineers are aware of the "204" error
    Has anyone else had this "204" error installing Creative Cloud Desktop or can  direct me to a solution it would be much appreciated

    Unfortunately I am still getting the 204 error
    I download the Creative Cloud Desktop App at home and brought it into work to install — which failed
    I then tried to install the same file on the only Mac in the office not on Creative Cloud and it installed with out any problems
    I then tried plugging my iMac into the same ethernet socket incase it was a problem with the ethernet socket. No luck it still had the 204 error
    These are the Adobe download log files which show errors but they me nothing to me
