HELP!! 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?

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?

DIETMARHi 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

HELP: Can not open my iPHOTO Library file because previous iPhoto application
is no longer available.
What to do? If I need new application, which is the best ?Have you upgraded iPhoto to the current version (9.5.1)?
Have you failed to allow your previous iPhoto library to be upgraded?
Have you tried holding the "option" key while opening iPhoto to point to your iPhoto library? -
I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes Error 7 (Windows error 126) Please Help me!
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.

I can not open my Safari. It quits unexpectedly. The issue only happens to a single user account. It does not happen to anyone else in my family. Please help!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -

I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?
I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.
Hi,
Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
See the following for more info.

Help, I ca not opening the file, beacause the mac says Error opening the document, Acrobat can not open the while printing another document
Thank you very much for your replies Taggert_77 & swmtgoet_x :D
Taggert77_: I have never used NetBeans. I only installed it in the bundle as I had read on another post that somehow installing the bundle magically helped another user with the same problem (he didn't know why it worked after that either).
Before XP SP3 I was able to execute .jar file through cmd prompt. Now I am not.
This file is executable, grab it and you will see. Here is a screen shot (program in front is FlashFXP, behind is the cmd prompt and what should happen):http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/53273b4ddf.jpg
swmtgoetx_: I only did the other cmd's to try to make it spit out something, anything lol :D
The proper cmd is simply: java -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar
I did give your cmd a try, and it produced nothing :( (just like the other correct cmds)
java -client -jar soht-client-0.6.2.jar soht.properties
Thank you again...the mystery remains
PS. If you do a search for this you'll find an amazing amount of XP SP3 users with the same problem and no solution posted that I could find except one chap that did the unistall install order that I did above). -
