There is one version of Skype (v.5 or later) that is for Intel Macs only.

Problems downloading Skype

I have been having trouble downloading "Skype" the voice messenging service. Whne I download it everything is fine until I go to drop the skype icon into applications and then nothing happens, I click on the skype icon and all it does it bring up the window for me to drop the icon into applications again.
Has anyone else had this problem or something similar?
Thanks

Hi Stacey,
I'm also having this problem, how annoying?
I tried dragging the file to the apps folder, opened the file launching the programme, it saves a skype icon, i open it and then it tries to launch an icon in the tool bar and then vanishes?! Just can't get it to open... Do you have any suggestions?

Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

My wife and I share our Mac OS 10.6.8 since downloading Skype on her account she can not stay connected to any web site she pulls up. I removed Skype from here account but it stll happens. What can I do to clear this up?

My wife and I share the same Mac OS 10.6.8 and since downloading Skype on her accout she came not asty connected to any web site for more than a few seconds. I have remove Skype from her account but not mine. I don't have the problem on my accout and I still have Skype loaded. How can I fix this problem?

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Skype Problem - Latest version not working, Please...

So, I cannot install the latest version of Skype. It's really frustrating as every time I try to install it, an error comes up saying ''Failed to get proc address for GetLogicalProcessorInformation (KERNEL32.dll)''
- I tried opening Skype after installation by clicking on the icon, but the same thing happens.
- I have also tried uninstalling and installing Skype several times, but nothing works.
- I downloaded the Service Pack 3, as I have read about this problem and some websites recommended doing this, but again nothing worked, same error appeared.
- I also cannot download older versions of Skype, because whenever I install them, it takes me to the login page and so I put my login details but it doesn't let me through, and it says that they have signed me out because I have an outdated version of Skype.
Please help, as I don't know what to do, I tried everything and there is no solution.
Help will be much appreciated!

I have tried for many months to gey it working. If you cannot do it for me I am saying GOODBYE to SKYPE as I do not want the time wasting as I am in my mid 70's.
Try to clear any currently installed version using this MS Fix It:

If this will still not help, then try this:

Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 6.18.0.106 version, then you should use this msi-installer link in order to extract the Skype.exe and Login.cab files:

I downloaded Skype before for my iPhone. Now there is this little iCloud symbol next to the app. I press it, the message above appears but it doesn't download. I restarted my iPad But it didn't help.

Ipad air Skype problems

Bought an iPad air today and am trying to download skyp but having no success. Went to the apps store and still not able to download. Any suggestions? i am connected via WiFi and was able to download other apps with no problems. Therte is no skype icon on my iPad Air

Hi John,
Thanks for your input on this one. I took the iPad to the Apple store and a very helpful chap did a restore for me at the shop. He said it wasn't right to do what it did (switch into sleep mode) immediately after powering on without even being able to get to the slider "button".
After the restore it was exactly the same and he and his colleagues said they hadn't seen this before. He told me to take it back to where I bought it and get it changed. However because of reading up on certain other problems the Air had which was encountered by others on here (coloured screens etc) as the fault on mine was only the screen switching off into sleep mode I decided not to do anything about changing the iPad at that time. I also wanted to see if the same problem occurred on the one that we bought a family member just before Xmas and it did, it does exactly the same as mine on power up.
Whilst I know it's not right as OH's iPad 4 has never done it (that's why I felt something was wrong with mine), I was prepared to live with it just in case as in your experience, changing it would bring the same problem or other faults that some say they have with the Air.
If I want the slider screen to stay up what I tend to do is, several seconds after switching the iPad on, I press the Home Button a few times and the activation page then stays on screen. No big deal really and as (so far) everything else has been going ok (still not sure about battery but others think it's alright), I'd rather put up with this than encounter different problems.
I hope your new replacement will be ok, if not then I think it could be something to do with some batches have this problem some don't or that it is peculiar just to the Air iPad though the staff at the store don't think it is.....
I'd be interested to know how you get on so please post back to let us know. Thanks for telling me about your experience, will look forward to hearing from you again.
all the best

Can't download Skype for iPad

I have had Skype on my iPad for ages. Recently the latest update refused to download.
The error message - "There was a problem downloading 'Skype' for iPad. An unknown error (499)".
Suggestion was to check internet connection, which was fine.
I had the same prob on my iPhone (5), but eventually got it installed again by deleting it in iTunes/Apps, and re-installing. This didn't work for the iPad
iPad3; OS is up to date; I do not have Restrictions set on my iPad.

Can't download skype

I can't download skype onto my laptop. each time i try it comes up with Error: Unfortunately the Skype executable is corrupted. Please re-install.I'm so close to throwing the laptop out of the window I need help, please!

Nothing is corrupted, but most likely the problem is with nVidia graphic card driver. See e.g. this:

How/where to download skype

I have a Samsung GT-I5500 which I have previously used Skype on with no problem. I tried again recently and it would not work. I decided to uninstall and reinstall. I cannot download Skype onto my phone now. It says that my device is incompatible. I have contacted Samsung and they said to contact Skype as it is an issue with the app. I have looked for a Skype email address but cannot find one and the text chat service was down. Arrgghh. Can anyone help, plese? Thanks.

You need to download an app called fring that will then enable you to use your Skype account on your phone. I don’t find fring very user friendly at the line quaility is not of the best. I prefer Truphone, which is offering free calls to landlines in some 40 countries until the end of this year.
