Help!?  skype problem! one bounce in dock then gone! ?

i just installed skype onto mac os x version 10.3.9.... (the computer is my mom's emac)
the computer had problems, so i had to re-instal the os-- start from scratch-- skype was working fine before, but now it just gives one bounce in the dock, then vanishes. weird seeing as now the system is 'virgin', there shouldn't be probs. i've tried looking in the firewall area in system prefs, but no luck- i don't even see skype listed.
why is this happening??
i've got to have skype! how do i get it back!
i know this has been a problem with people running leopard, but that's not me!

Skype requires QuickTime 7 to run, which isn't included with Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier. QuickTime 7 can be downloaded for free.

  • ITunes Bounces in Dock then quits

    A friend has asked me to help her with an annoying problem she is having when she logs in to her account.  When she logs in iTunes bounces a few time in the Dock and acts like it’s opening, with the indicator showing, too, but then stops bouncing, and the indicator goes out, too.  She has even removed iTunes from the Dock and it still does the same thing, with the exception that when it stops bouncing the iTunes icon disappears.
    I’ve removed iTunes and iTunes Helper from her Login Items, deleted her entire ~Library/Caches folder, deleted her com.apple.iTunes.plist preference file.  She has another user account and it is not doing this in that account.  That points to something in HER account, if I'm not mistaken, and that would point to her Library, right?
    Any idea what could be causing iTunes to bounce like this?
    She is running 10.8.5

    Make sure the iTunes app is in the Applications folder, not on the desktop.
    Re download iTunes >  Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    Do not delete the current copy.
    Then try iTunes.

  • Aperture Bounces in Dock, then Nothing

    I have just downloaded the trial version of Aperture, but when I try to run it, it just bounces once or twice in the dock and then disappears. I am running Leopard (10.5) and have a MBP with 2 gigs of RAM. Any ideas?

    I do declare, this is weird. I am also stumped at the fact that if a person has never run Aperture on their system that the Aperture trial will not start up properly after being installed. Is there anyone else who has any ideas?
    Try this: If there is an Aperture Library in your Pictures folder then delete it. Try starting up again. Another thing is to uninstall Aperture, download from Apple again, and install it again.
    Maybe something was wrong with the trial. I just remembered the my MBP came with a 1.5.3 trial of Aperture but just bounced in the Dock and quit so I just copied the App itself from my other Mac to MBP and it started up. The one on my other Mac was not a trial but was v1.5.6. This all happened in 10.5.1.
    I will keep working on this and see if there is anything else I might be missing.

  • Safari starts bouncing in dock then disappears, can't launch

    I recently had Safari 3.0.4 and it couldn't start: It would start bouncing
    in the dock for a few seconds then disappear.
    I installed the 3.2.1 update (and the security update necessary for Mac OS Tiger)
    but it still does the same thing. Yes I did restart after install...
    I have Firefox and it works fine. Is there a conflict between the two?
    Thanks
    Firefox 3.0.1
    Safari 3.2.1

    Hi
    No conflict exists between those browsers, however, either there is a 3rd party Safari add-on not compatible with Safari 3, or there is some corruption in the cache files that requires clearing.
    Regarding add-ons: anything in these locations:
    HD>Library>Inputmanagers folder, or Applications Support>SIMBL>Plug-ins folder.
    Same as above, except Your User Account>Library.
    If no, then have a look at this post for suggestions about clearing the cache.

  • App keeps bouncing in dock, then just stops. Doesn't open.

    So I had Rapidweaver working fine earlier today, then I installed some plugins and tried opening the software again - then it just kept bouncing in the dock, didn't open...
    Tried reinstalling, and looked to remove every trace of the program - but when I had uninstalled it, there was nothing left in the application support folder for me to remove..
    Any suggestions?

  • Need Help Skype Problems

    Please HelpMy skype wont work anymore, it says that it wont work when I try to call someone and I need help thanks. (P.S I have reinstalled Skype with no luck)

    You are very welcome.
    For others:
    1. There is no need to uninstall first. It's wasted time and a wasted step that is NOT required.
    2. It is important to inform people that if they delete their Skype folder, that they will be deleting ALL their Skype history:
    For others:
    You do not need to uninstall, or delete anything, if you have this issue, simply install over, what you have, with this:
    At the moment the quickest method to fix this is to install the beta version from here: http://skype.com/go/getskype-beta
    Note: If you still have issues after doing the above, it's best to post back and get more instructions than to delete ALL your history.

  • Problems with Mountain Lion – Dock has gone and also clicking trackpad no longer works.

    Hi,
    I’m not sure how best to explain the problem I am having but here goes anyway…I have a Macbook pro (mid 2009 model) and recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  Everything seemed to be working ok and I was enjoying trying to work out all the new features. However yesterday when I switched the Macbook on, once it had started some strange things were happening. Firstly my dock at the bottom had disappeared. Normally this is at the bottom of the screen however this no longer the case. I used the keyboard shortcut to show the dock however when I do this, the dock appears but none of the icons increase in size when I hover over them (as used to happen).
    The other thing that is happening is that I cannot click on anything to open or select an option. For example, I can’t click on anything on the dock (when I can get the dock to show) to open an application, I cannot select from drop down lists etc (ie select file then software updates). Even when I switch off my Macbook I can only hit return for the shutdown mode, and cannot select one of the other options, for example restart.  I tried to re-install Mountain Lion by holding down command and R (I think  - I read this on another forum and followed the instructions) however when the Macbook restarted and the various options came up, one of which is to re-install the software, I couldn’t select anything to do this due to this track pad problem I have explained (probably badly!) above.
    I should point out that everything was fine for a few days after upgrading to Mountain Lion and then the above problems started.
    Can anyone help?  I’m pretty stressed with the whole thing as I can’t use my Macbook now and am worried it’s permanently broken!!
    Or am I better just taking it along to the genius bar at my local Apple store?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not the same symptoms, but I noticed that after a few days of running great, odd things started happening on my iMac. The first thing was that when I would boot the Mac up for the first time in the morning, it would boot into single user mode. I have the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, so I know there's no way keys are being held down.
    The other symptom was that Microsoft Outlook 2011 would hang on launch. It would get stuck on the "Setting Up Identities..." phase. Rebuilding the Outlook database would help until the next time I shut the iMac down.
    Also a couple of times it got to the Desktop after a boot, but not everything was working correctly and some startup items didn't load.
    The iMac also kept booting into single user mode on the first boot.
    I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion, and I thought that fixed both problems, until the next morning. Now I just don't shut the Mac down. I can close Outlook, and it launches in a couple of seconds.
    So it would appear that something is becoming corrupt when OS X is shut down. If I don't shut it down, it's fine.

  • Linking One table with more then one tablespace

    Hi,
    Can anybody help to link one table to more then one tablespace?
    Thanks in advance.

    If the table is not partitionned you cannot store a table in different tablespaces. If the table is partitionned you can store each partition in a different tablespace. Example from 10.2 Data Warehousing Guide:
    CREATE TABLE sales_composite
    (salesman_id  NUMBER(5),
    salesman_name VARCHAR2(30),
    sales_amount  NUMBER(10),
    sales_date    DATE)
    PARTITION BY RANGE(sales_date)
    SUBPARTITION BY HASH(salesman_id)
    SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE(
    SUBPARTITION sp1 TABLESPACE ts1,
    SUBPARTITION sp2 TABLESPACE ts2,
    SUBPARTITION sp3 TABLESPACE ts3,
    SUBPARTITION sp4 TABLESPACE ts4)
    (PARTITION sales_jan2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('02/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
    PARTITION sales_feb2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('03/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
    PARTITION sales_mar2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('04/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))
    PARTITION sales_apr2000 VALUES LESS THAN(TO_DATE('05/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))

    I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

    I would like to know the answer to that one.  I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6.  Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty.  So I'm dead in the water.  Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+.  I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok.  I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay.  But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it.  I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

  • Hi..............I Stuk up with a problem in JTree Please, help me any one..

    Hi,
    I created a JTree where the DefaultMutableTreeNode is created at run time and for this node, the leaf items are added dynamically.....Now my problem is, I should get a popup menu when i click on the treenode particularly-----
    * Node1
    -------Node11
    -------Child1
    In this I want a popup only for the Node11 & its child elements if there is any Node2 also i don't want a popup and also for Node1 i don't want, when I am trying this I am getting the Popup to all nodes and child elements, please, help me any one who cross over this problem.............
    Thanks In Advance,
    Regards,
    Sarikakiran

    Firstly, do you know how to detect the right click? (Use a MouseListener.)
    When you receive the MouseEvent for the right-click, you can get the coordinates of the click (i.e. where on the JTree the mouse was clicked).
    You can then use JTree.getPathForLocation to get the path for the clicked node, which is a TreePath object. Use TreePath.getLastPathComponent to find which node was actually clicked on.
    Having determined which node was clicked, you can then make a decision about whether to show a popup menu.
