How do I get skype working now that i've upgraded to Lion 8.2?

Hello
I need to help please! I just upgraded my system to Lion 8.2. When i tried to open Skype it crashed every time. so i uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it keeps crashing every time.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I read somehwere that i needed to upgrade my Quicktime which mine is currently 10.2.  All my software is upgraded. I have not been able to find a current version for Mac os x Lion 10.8.2.
thank you in advance for any support for this. There are several things i am finding very difficult since i upgraded to Lion. I hope i don't regret this too much!

Skype has nothing to do with Quicktime (which is automatically updated with 10.8 anyway), but it sounds like you might need to trash your Skype preferences.
Hold the Option key down and click the Go menu in the Finder menubar. Click Library. Navigate to Preferences. Delete "com.skype.skype.plist". Navigate one folder back to Caches and delete the com.skype.skype folder you find there.
Relaunch Skype and let me know if that works.
PS For reference, 10.8 is called "Mountain Lion". 10.7 was just "Lion".

  • Videos in iPhoto 08 will not play now that I have upgraded to Lion.

    Any videos that I had in iPhoto 08 previously played ok when I was on Snow Leopard but now that I have upgraded to Lion I have just discovered that when I click on a video nothing happens at all. I don't want to upgrade to iLife 11. Does anyone know of a resolution for this problem?

    When I check for updates I just get a message about iPhoto 11 being available as part of iLife 11.

  • Time machine: now that I've upgraded to Lion, do I keep the backups or trash them?

    Hi,
    I wanted to get a sense on what to do with Time Machine now that I've upgrated to Lion.  I just opened Time Machine and while the bar on the right seems to know there is data older from the date the back ups started with Lion, it doesn't seem to be able to open them.  Is there a reason to keep the old back ups?  Are you all deleing them or keeping the Time Machine backups from Snow Leopard and Leopard? 
    Thanks,

    you would want to keep them because if something happens where you need to install snow leopard back onto your computer all your files backed up in lion will not be savageable so i would keep it unless you desperately need the space, although hard drives are dirt cheap nowadays, you can find a tb for around 60-80 bucks.

  • Now that I've upgraded to Lion, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse it acts as if I've right clicked.  How do I get back to the way it was?!

    I am working on two macbooks and an imac.  I upgraded all the software last weekend and am now running all three computers on Lion.  Over the last week, about 50% of the time when I click the mouse (whether it be the "pad" mouse on the macbooks or the standard mouse on my imac) it acts as thought I've right-clicked.  How do I stop this insanity?!  I want my old no-right-click mouses back!
    Thank you for any guidance!

    Try this,
         Go to to the Trackpad System Preference and look at the Point and Click tab.  
         Uncheck the box that says "Tap to Click"
    I found my track pad to be way too sensitive and I was finding myself in web pages I did not choose to go to.  Unchecking that box will make it so you have to press the track pad to make it click something as opposed to just tapping it.  It is more effort but also less sensitive to random taps.

    You cannot post emails in the text.. you can have it open in your profile.
    Ring Apple if you have loads of stuff and have current apple care and they will try and sort you.
    Yes.. big changes were made at Mavericks.
    You need to factory reset the TC and start again.. Perhaps even wipe it and start over.
    I recommend all very short names.. do not follow the apple recommended names in the wizard.
    Use 2-20 characters, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Passwords the same but 8-20 characters. mixed case and numbers.
    If you still cannot reach the TC tell us how you are connecting.. wireless or ethernet and how the TC is connected to the network and which model it is.

  • Why can't I get notifications anymore now that I've upgraded to 7.0.6?

    Ipgraded my phone to 7.0.6, but I can no longer get Notifications from my apps.  I have gone to Settings/Notifications to allow, restarted my phone - everything I can think of.  But I don't get Notifications - what I should I try?

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Email push isn't working now that I've upgraded o iOS5.  Help?

    Genius bar has no solution and worse, say while they know other people with the same problem, it's not listed as a "known problem" with Apple.  Can anyone help?

  • Safari or flash player will not work now that I have downloaded mountain lion

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and now when I open chrome or safari it will shut down with in a few sec.  Also on firefox the flash player will not work.  I have downloaded the latest version and it still does not work

    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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • I keep getting this error " Unable to Assemble Book" filename "(null)." The full resolution photo either cannot be located or is corrupt.  This has happen now that I have upgraded to Lion and the iPhoto software.

    I have recently updated to Lion on a Mac Pro 2006.  iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2.
    I made a new book from a complete start after shutting down the Mac but I still get the same error!
    Please help,
    Ruedylee

    Do the filenames contain special characters, like "ä,ü,..." or white space or are the vry long? Is there anything special about the image format? Try to export the edited versions in that case and reimport it with a different, shorter filename.
    For testing, create a new book with only the images you want to check.
    If this does not fix it, try rebuilding. Depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library.

  • My gestures aren't working now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion

    Ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my gestures for Notifications, Launch Pad, Mission Control, ect.. aren't working. They worked the first day but have been pretty sporadic lately. Today and yesteryday none of the gestures have worked at all. I can use the touch pad to move the cursor and touch to click, but everything else is very much a no go. Checked the settings like a hundred times and verified they are all indeed turned on. NEVER had the problem in Lion.Thinking about a Genius Bar Appt, but am afraid they will magically work when I try to demonstrate the problem. As I've said, this has been mostly sporadic.
    Thanks.

    If you have the current version of iLife, you can download the latest iPhoto from here:
    iPhoto 9.4.2
    If not, you will have to buy iPhoto.

  • I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?

    I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

  • I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work.

    I just got a new macbook pro. How do I get the 900+  songs that I took off of cds into iTunes on my computer from my iPhone. I had no problems syncing the music I had purchased from iTunes. I have tried to sync it using iTunes match, this did not work. I would like to have access to my full library without going into the user profile of my old computer, which is on my new computers hard drive. I would like to eventually delete the old profile so that I have more space on my hard drive.

    When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
