Login message on current skype for Mac is too inse...

If you put an email and a password and if the email is correct but the password is not, it shows that you just need to keep trying a new password, this just makes the life of the hackers way easier since they can try a bunch of emails until they find one used on your service and then try some passwords, one of those might be the correct one and boom, they are in your account.
It should show an error message like "Password or email is incorrect" and delete both the email and the password from the login text boxes on the application.
Regards.

Yup, help is outdated.
I found it in Skype -> Preference
Advance tab, you can check the Call Technical Info.
But it doesnt seem to work or show any info.
On Android or IOS, it similar but it show the info details, overlay on the call or video screen.

Import CSV file Skype for Mac

Cannot seem to import contacts. It is well hidden if it is possible, if not, it is a ridiculous omission.
Dear Skype;
Please add the feature of importing contacts from a CSV file, or better yet from a google account.

There is no way to import contacts directly into Skype for Mac from a CSV file. However, you can import contacts (with email and phone information) into Contacts.app. These system contacts can then be viewed in Skype using the Mac Contacts feature. See Preferences > General > Show Mac Contacts.
Part of the reason that it's not currently possible to import contacts in this way is because of the hadshake required: you must send a contact request to each contact you wish to add to your list. This includes a message explaining who you are, and why they should add you. Most people won't be able to receive a call or IM from you until they've accepted your contact request.
One last thing: your contact list is stored in the cloud. So when you log into Skype for Mac, you'll see your list of contacts just as it was on your Android device (for example).

Skype for mac?

I am a Army wife and want to download skype for my new mac notebook. but i am so afraid of downloading it and it causing virus or failure somehow. i was very very prone to virus on my pc, which is why i got a mac. how is skype for mac? recommended or not?

Nothing here to worry about. Look for Skype at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Macs are not Windows PCs. See the following:
Do You Need Anti-Virus Protection for Your Mac?
According to Rich Mogull's article, Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software?,
"The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
It's not that Mac OS X is inherently more secure against viruses than current versions of Windows (although it was clearly more secure than Windows prior to XP SP2); the numerous vulnerabilities reported and patched in recent years are just as exploitable as their Windows equivalents. But most security experts agree that malicious software these days is driven by financial incentives, and it's far more profitable to target the most dominant platform."
Mr. Mogull is a computer security expert. I recommend reading the entire article as it is quite informative.

TOOLS in Skype for Mac?

Where is TOOLS in Skype for Mac (to activate an external webcam)?

"Tools" are a Windows thing. On a Mac, you'll want Preferences, to be found in the dropdown menu under Skype at the top of your screen.

Missing localizations in Skype for Mac

Hello,
there are a lot of localizations (bg, da, de, en, es, et, fr, it, ja, ko, nl, no, pl, pt_BR, ru, zh_TW) included in Skype for Mac, but some localizations which are present in Windows Version missing in Mac version eg. Czech.
Is planned include Czech (and/or any other) localization into standard installation Skype for Mac?
Note: Czech localization was in Skype for Mac before 5.x version, but in version 5.x missing.

Hi All.
Je-li pro Microsoft neúnosné udělat češtinu do Skype , pak jsem ochoten ji udělat já . Jediné co k tomu potřebuji , jsou původní , odemčené .nib soubory. Lokalizoval jsem zdarma spoustu aplikací pro Mac, včetně několika verzí Skype. Ale se zamčenými .nib soubory je to něco hrozného. Sice si je dokážu hacknout , ale pak je to dost nestandardní a nelze tak udělat vše.
Když nemůžete dát češtinu do instalace , pak se to dá přeci řešit stáhnutím balíčku s češtinou zvlášť .
If intolerable for Microsoft to do Czech Skype, then I'm willing to do it myself. All you need to do are original and unlocked. Nib files. I've located a lot of free applications for the Mac, including some versions of Skype. But it is locked. Nib files, it's horrible. Although you can do is hack, but it's pretty standard and so can not do everything. If you can not give the Czech in the installation, then it can be addressed after all downloading package with Czech separately.

Skype for mac os 10.5.8 / very disappointed about...

Since many years I payed a subscription "unlimited Europe" to use skype with mac os 10.5.8 but from yesterday the programme dont' work and ask me to update the programme mac os 10.6? I am very angry and disappointed about it. Until yesterday I used skype version 6.3., please can you support me in this, how is possible to continue use mac os 10.5.8, there is some method with info.plist????

Hi,
I can attest that this fix below works ... in both OS 10.4.11 and in 10.5.8 ...
Note:
You will first need to download Skype version 2.8.0.866 for Mac, to get this exact result.
This fix may work for this latest mess created by MS cutting off a far newer version for use with 10.5.8 just the other day ...
but I decided to go back to version 2.8.0.866, because it is a far better design and more useful to me than the newer versions ...
however, it has been handicapped in one way ... The video call function in it no longer works, it is audio calls only ... not sure if the conference calling works, because I never use it .... but works fine otherwise.
Here is the posting I got this information from. It is a very helpful group, which has been addressing fixing these types of issues since MS first began creating these problems ... unnecessarily so, I should add ...
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/My-solution-to-continue-using-Skype-2-8-on-older-OS-X-Lion-etc/td-...
1) Quit Skype.
2) Locate /Applications/Skype.app, right-click on it and click "Show package content".
3) Open the folder "Content", then inside, open Info.plist either with Property List Editor (more convenient) or any other normal text editor.
4) Search for your old version string (like 2.8.0.866) and replace it with the new one (6.15.0.334). In PLE, you do this by clicking on the value two times and then editing it, in other editors just search&replace.
5) Save your changes, exit the editor, start Skype and login.
Additionally, in Mac OS 10.4.11 you can not directly edit that Info.plist file ... in this situation, it is necessary to open a new Text Edit file, then copy and paste the entirity of the original file, and rename it with the same name ... then make the necessary edits to the new file ... then remove the original file from that folder and replace it with the new one ... make sure it is working properly before trashing the original ...
That is an important file, so be very meticulous and careful with those edits ...
Hope this helps!
Sincerely

Message waiting on Lync for Mac

Hi everyone - I'm hoping someone can help.
Although I can see I have a message waiting for my on Lync thanks to the number indicator on the app icon, there's no indication of who in my list of contacts actually sent me the message. I have a large list of contacts so it's very laborious to have to
click through to see who has actually messaged me.
Has anyone got any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
Did the issue happen only you or for multiple users?
Did the issue also happen for Lync client on Windows when login with your Lync account?
Did the issue happen for all messages you received or for only a few messages?
Please update to the latest version for Lync server and Lync client from Microsoft Website and test again:

New Skype for Mac 7.0

Yikes. This version looks terrifying. The whole redesigning of the chat experience was not needed. It was very clean and simple before. Now there are unneeded chat bubbles, pictures of my contacts instead of names (my friends have some really stupid pictures), and a bunch of unnecessary colors. Making everything blue is just ridiculous. I understand that is Skype's color but there's a fine line between branding and poor design. With that being said, the biggest flaw is the lack of customization to the redesign. If I could at least change the color or get rid of my friend's profile pictures in replacement of their name again (what a crazy concept), I wouldn't really have too much of an issue. Back to 6 we go...

Good and bad feelings about this. I mostly use Skype for keeping in touch with my co-workers so we have a number of running transcripts going at all times in multiple "groups" and a lot of times you have to scroll back and catch up with ongoing conversations. GoodLove having chat transcript next to video chat, not squished below it. This is huge and a major improvementInline images and smoother file transfer with more visual cues as to what's going on. File transfer maintains even if video chat is over, for example. This is good."Flat" graphics - just a taste thing but I like them BadSO MUCH BLUE, and so many blues. I see three subtly different blues at all times and it's a hodgepodge. Would prefer more message styling options. (more than two)Maximum width to texts means unnecessary wrapping even when the Skype window is really widePadding for icons and timestamp takes up unecessary room which makes the maxwidth thing even more glaring at narrow widthsDon't want to see everyone's icons all the time, want to see more textBalloon stuff is goofy and childish and takes up space and doesn't solve a problem. Would like to never see balloons again.Should be an easy one-click "Get this file" for file transfers not a multi-step "show me in the finder, oh there it is, now please open the file" I get the value of quick look but if I want is to open the file, this is an extra stepI hope you address some of the message styling issues with an update because they're really jarring and not an improvement from my perspective but the message/video alignment is huge for me.

How safe is Skype (for Mac)?

Are there any security concerns that I should be worried about? I'll be using it to communicate with people i don't know in real life. Can I be hacked in any way over the line? Also, are there settings to prevent the webcam from accidentally being used?
Moreover, I also read that a while ago, there was an exploit in Skype, specifically for Mac, that made it 'wormable'. Surely this has been fixed?
So, is the App and especially, Skyping completely safe, providing I don't click on any links that are sent?
Thanks!

I don't know of any security issues with it - you can choose not to let it access your Mac contacts, and disable auto-updates if you prefer. There are privacy options as shown below.

Nov. 28th, 2012 : Is the current FireFox for MAC update compatible with the ANGEL LMS system?

I teach at a community college and need to use ANGEL - so I need to know about compatibility so I can keep teaching [not really into switching to another browser]
Currently using a MAC using OS X 10.6.8

WEll - Fire Fox 17 on a PC does not work - It is the same email load problem that I have seen mentioned related to an upgrade about a year ago. I have upgraded my PC at home - and now cannot teach in ANGEL from home unless I use IE -[not a favored choice]
I can not mess up on this computer so needing a definitive answer.
Here is the current notice the tech folks at my institution have Posted:
'''''Firefox users: The lastest version of Firefox no longer supports ANGEL on either a PC or Mac. Firefox versions 3.6 through 16 are still compatible. You can download version 16 from this website if you have already upgraded to version 17:'''''

Can't sign in on Skype for Mac 7.2.412 on OS X 10.10.1

upgraded my OSX to 10.10.1 and after the update, no matter what account I use or after many password resets, I am unable to sign in, getting the message "Sorry we didn't recognize your sign in details. Please check your Skype name and password, then try again." Is anyone else having this issue? And if so has anyone figured out a fix? running a macbook pro retina

Same problem here on 10.10.2. I even went and merged my MS account and my Skype account to see if I could authenticate that was but no such luck. I know that my details are correct since I can login to the web site just fine, I just can't use Skype on my Mac. This is a complete blocker.
