I hate the new skype and i wish i culd go back to ...

My Skype got updated to the latest version(7.0) and I absolutely hate it.I use Skype everyday for at least 3 hours to talk to my friends and the new version is just awful and I cant keep using it. After about 6 hours on the new version I decided to downgrade to the prior version (6.2) winch I think was Skype best for now.It didn't work well (I couldn't read group messages unless I was managing the group and the chat was a little buggy) but I dint care because anything is better then the new 7 version.
Today for some reason it log me out of Skype and I couldn't log in into the old Skype so I had to update to the new Skype which made we very upset.
I do realise that the old Skype was old and the devs tries to make it look newer by following the win8 trend and that some people will like the new Skype and they are not as conservative as i am so i suggest the simple solution of giving people choice. Make the new version the default layout but make it possible to change it in the options so users which don't like the new UI can revert back to the good old one.

The new Skype is probably designed to match the Windows 10 style and feel over all three platforms it will be running on.
Skype versions below 6.16 (or 14 ) is retired, 6.2 is below so you cannot log in using that one.
This one however will:

  • Where can I get Firefox 3.6.19? I hate the new Firefox and want to reinstall my old version.

    I just downloaded and installed Firefox 4 and absolutely hate it. How can I go about reverting my version of Firefox back to the version 3.6.19 that I was previously running?

    There isn't one by that revision number. The previous secure version is 3.6.17
    To revert to that, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.<br><br>
    #Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box'').<br><br>
    #Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox<br><br>
    #Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.<br>
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.<br><br>
    After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.
    ''However, before you go that route, here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version''.<br><br>
    * Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar.<br><br>
    * Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.<br><br>
    * To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.<br><br>
    * To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/<br><br>
    See screenshot. Both top and bottom views are FF4.

  • Why is it I downloaded the new SKYPE and when I tr...

    I have had so many problems with Skype I know this is not suppose to happen. When you are on your computer the only time you go to your apps is when your looking up something for your phone. So when your looking at your account for your computer and your already in skype why are you being asked to sign in again and taking to another tab confusing go figure. Again so many problems with Skype. Yes we love them because they bring us closer to those across the world, but and there's always a butt and it aint Kims lol. Yes are getting robbed or scammed and we can't talk to a **bleep** soul about it because noboby wants to hear it or do anything. So here I stand and say what i need to and maybe by the grace of God somebody might know something and well will see. here goes, I have been trying for quite sometime for someone to look into why if i have an account.  this is the begining football is on and i'll finish but i'm missing crap! Yes ChicK HERE!

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "go to your apps". 
    When you open your Skype web account page from the link in your Skype application you should be automatically signed in and not required to enter your password. Are you not seeing this behaviour?

  • HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

    I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have?  Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

    I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
    The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

  • Hate the new layout and LACK of info!

    Duet partners are no longer listed on songs in the iTunes store, so unless you KNOW the song and main artist/album, you can't find a duet with another artist. Lame!

    I'm not a big fan of the new store layout, either. Takes forever to find things. Tell Apple:
    itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback

  • Just bought the new iPad and want to download my files backed up previously in iCloud by my old iPad. Have my iCloud Backup option switeched on but no luck. Thus my files are stuck in iCloud. Any advice appreciated?

    Just bought the new iPad (3rd generation) and want to download files backed up previously in iCloud by my old iPad 2. Have my iCloud Backup option switched on on the new iPad but no luck in transferring the files. So my files are stuck in iCloud. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you have already set up the iPad and activated it - You have to restore from the iCloud backup which entails totally erasing the device and then setting it up again from the iCloud backup.

  • HT4859 i restarted my iphone and downloaded the new itunes and when my phone restored it backed up from back in april of last year how do i get it back to current settings?

    Help

    You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    Hello. I am not going to sugarcoat anything, I absolutely hate the new version of Skype, Skype for Windows Desktop. It runs horribly on my computer, and I have Windows 7, so I really don't need this new version. I know that Skype says they do not offer older versions of Skype, but I am begging you. I do not have Windows 8. I don't need this new version. I liked the older, more user-friendly version better. So please. Please. Help

  • I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

    I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

    How do i undo my IOS 6 update because there is no youtube and I hate the new software.  Please i want to have my older version of software back on my ipad2.
    I have installed the youtube app. But i hate it so much i just want my old youtube back.  How can i undo my software update?

    @doclochte
    Well, if you loose functionality und good user experience due to apples and googles quarrels its simply not a matter of bugfixing. If you want to get rid of googles services (Maps, Youtube) you should at least make shure, the user experience stays the same. Without the youtube app custom made for easy iPad use, you need to buy an app to at least get fullscreen view but with a much more complicated navigation (iCabMobile for example). And GoogleMaps is right now still the far better service.
    If google lets me use programs for free (to make advertisements) I'm ok with a beta. If I buy a very expensive apple device I'm definitely NOT ok with this, especially when I'm forbidden to revert to what I had before. PLease let me downgrade to 5.1.1 again at least.

  • I hate the new Apple Map.  The directions are confusing.  How do I get google maps back on my iPad and iPhone?

    I hate the New Apple Map.  The directions are confusing and do not continue by pressing 'next.'  How do I get Google Maps back to my iPad and iPhone?  Thank you.

    Start Safari
    Enter the URL:  http://maps.google.com/#bmb=1
    tap "Go"
    Now that you have Google Maps up on Safari, tap the bottom center icon (box with arrow pointing to the right).
    Select "Add to Home Screen".
    You will now have a Google Maps icon on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch that will take you to Google maps.
    There are other map services available.  MapQuest, Waze, NavFree, OffMaps, etc...

    I hate the new operating system. Can't connect to wifi in home anymore even after a restore. Rhapsody no longer works on my phone either. Plus the brighth graphics are bothering my eyes even with brightness turned down. Any ideas on why rhapsody doesn't why rhapsody doesn't work anymore?

    Contact Rhapsody to see if they have or plan to release an update for the app. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • Does anyone else HATE the new iTunes Software layout?!?!?!?!?!

    I HATE the new iTunes Softare for Windows! They made it exactly like Windows Media Player! If I wanted to use WMP, I wouldn't use iTunes!!!! But I preferred iTunes over anything else. It was much more user friendly. Now its like the rest of them!!! I hate it!! PLEASE, CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • Using the new Call and Chat buttons

    This is really not a Mac issue, even though I use a Mac. It is a general issue regarding the use of the new Call and Chat buttons in web sites and HTML signatures,
    I was using the so called "legacy" buttons, both on my home web site as well as in my HTML signature. Sometime a few days ago they stopped working altogether. I checked the Internet and I saw the post that Skype has discontinued their use and insteasd we would have to use the new Call and Chat buttons that work via a generated script.
    This is fine, but I am having two issues here:
    1) When I include the script on my web site, the Call image always goes on a line by itself. What I want is to have it on the same line with some other social media like images, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. I could do this with the old legacy images but not with this new one.
    2) How can I have now this functionality in an HTML signature? I can't put a script there.
    Thanks for any help!
    George

    As far as I know, you can't change it: first, your photo is probably a .jpg and iMovie will be adapting it to a video file which will result in somewhat of a loss of quality and second, if your original picture is small, it cannot be enlarged without significant loss of quality as it will get blurry while the individual pixels are being made larger - that depends on your camera settings and its photo output size. So it could be either or both of those that is the problem here. Check your camera and see what size you are taking your pictures in.

  • I absolutly hate the new itunes, why change something good?!

    I absolutely hate the new itunes, why change something good?! I have no time or need to get used to the new layout, it is NOT user friendly, things are in places where I'd not look for them. I even don't like the red icon. Please change it back.

    Hhhmmm!
    Not only have you not been polite enough to acknowledge or respond to my question, but now I'm really confused...

    While you are correct that cover flow appears to have been dropped, you can still see the artwork in large form, by clicking on the thumbnail that you mention:
    And if you hover the mouse over the picture, various options, such as the play controls and close picture will appear.
