Microsoft is retiring old Mac/Win Skype versions.....

"As we look ahead to the future, we‘re focusing our efforts on bringing the latest and greatest to the most recent versions of Skype. As a result, we are going to retire older versions of Skype for Windows desktop (6.13 and below) as well as Skype for Mac (6.14 and below) over the next few months"
How does this affect Skype for Symbian which is a really old version of Skype? Will it still work after the cut off date or is it already dead?

Hi wkl12mr,
Symbian users who already have Skype installed in their phones will still be able to use the app. However, once they uninstall the Skype app, they will no longer be able to redownload it from the Store. Check this link for more information: Why is Skype for Symbian no longer available for download?.
Let us know if you need further help.
It looks like Skype for Symbian is now officially dead.

"Here's the email that was received from Skype support:
Skype apps for Symbian are permanently retiring We've noticed that you are, or previously were, signed into Skype on a Symbian phone, and we're sorry to inform you that we are now permanently retiring all Skype apps for Symbian phones. As a result, within the next few weeks, you'll no longer be able to sign in and use Skype on any Symbian phone.
You can still stay in touch with friends and family using Skype on an Android device, Nokia Lumia phone or desktop computer. You can sign into them all using the same Skype account. The latest versions of Skype for all your devices are available at http://www.skype.com/download."

Why I cannot download Flash Player in my old Mac OS X, Version 10.4.11?

I have an old Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 and I cannot download Flash Player.
Can someone tell me why or how?
Thanks,
Abe

Adobe Flash Player - Downloads. Locate a Flash version that will work in Tiger. Or you can try upgrading the hardware and software in order to use the current version of Flash. But that would depend on exactly what hardware you have. Only Intel hardware can be upgraded to Snow Leopard and beyond.

Troubles downloading new firefox on old Mac OS X (version 10.4.11), can it be used on such an old mac?

I have an old mac (Mac OS X version 10.4.11) and the download seemed to go through smoothly, but when I clicked on the mozilla icon it said that it couldn't be opened. I was wondering if this new version of firefox is not compatible with older macs.

Less danger of losing than saving actually.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Installing an old Mac app store version of PE 12 on a new mac

I downloaded a the mac app store version of PE12 a while back. I recently got a new mac, and tried to migrate the app over, but it won't open on the new computer and just tells me I should re-install. The problem is that I can't re-download it from the mac app store because they only carry a newer version now. I can't re-download it from the Adobe app store because they want a serial number, which I didn't get because it just instantly downloaded from the Mac app store. I tried the Adobe Application Manager, but it doesn't even see that I have the app at all. How in the world do I get the app I bought on to work on my new computer?

You should be able to copy the app store version from one computer to another, unlike the regular version. Have you deleted preferences?

Photos lost in another library when transferred from old mac. Can't work out how to update them.

Hi I've imported photos from my old mac onto my new but could not find them in iphoto. When I searched for them I realised they were in another library. I transferred over to what I think is that library and it said I needed to update the softwear for them which I tried to do but after downloading could not understand apple's instructions. They said to choose the Go menu in Finder - what's that?!! Now when I tried to go back to my other library I couldn't find it ahhhggg!!!
M

What version of iPhoto were you using on the old Mac? What version on the new, Mac.
If you try to open the "older" library with the iPhoto on the new Mac it will need to convert it to the newer version. If the older version was iPhoto 7 or earlier and the new vesion was iPhoto 9.5 then you will need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.
So if you will provide information asked for we can go from there.

Safari for Mac OS X Version 10.3

How do I download or re-install Safari web browser on my old Mac OS X Version 10.3 Imac? My son inadvertently deleted it, and Apple Support very kindly went so far as to dump me here in the discussion page with no further help, because I'm so very long out of warranty. Thanks.

Greetings,
Before you try installing those updates that Vk gave you links for, you first need to reinstall Safari from your Mac OS X 10.3 install disc. And you should download and use http://www.charlessoft.com/>Pacifist to do that, since I don't think there's an Optional Installs folder on that disk. You'd have to root around to find the installer just for Safari and use that first, otherwise the updates won't work.

Is there a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer

I was wondering if there was a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer. Most of the databases I have on my old computer are in Access and I need to be able to open them on my new Mac Book.

Full Disclosure as per Apple Support Communities terms and Conditions: I am affiliated with the site linked to in this response.
Although Access for Mac isn't available, there are some apps which allow you to open Access databases on Mac. They don't allow you to access forms, reports and VBA modules but they do allow you to visualize the data. Although this isn't perfect, they're far easier and cheaper than having to install Windows on your Mac and then install Access if you only need to view Access databases.
Which one you use really depends on what you need to do. They can be summarized as:
MDDB ACB Viewer - Probably the best of the lot as it open both old and new Access files and exports to Apple Numbers
MDB Tool - Very simple to use but not for Access 2010+
MDB Explorer - Exports to SQLLite but requires an upgrade for Access 2007+ files
ACCDB MDB Explorer - Very limited editing of databases but supports multiple ACCDB databases
MDB Lite - Only works with Access 2003 files but very easy to use
Hope this helps as a basic overview of the main tools available but if you you can find a more in-depth look at Access for Mac software here.

Mac OS 10.9 w Skype Version 6.5.0.443 I cannot log...

I am running Mac OS 10.9 w Skype Version 6.5.0.443. I cannot login to the app with my Skype or Microsoft accounts. I can log in to both fine on the respective Webpages. So now basically, the Skype program on my Mac is unusable. BTW, I changed my password for both the accounts mroe than once. Very annoying.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac and Win 2000 Server

Hello guys,
Could you please confirm that the latest version 8.0.15 is compatible with WIN 2000 Server connections? If not, could you please advise which version of Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac is the match in order to connect to a WIN 2000 server.
Thank you in advance,
Bogdan

Hello Bogdan
WIN 2000 is supported. See a complete list of supported Windows SKUs here:

Go to the AppStore and download Microsoft Remote Desktop.

There are no versions of Mac OS X available on your old Mac

Task: Migrate from iMac G5, OS X 10.4.11 to Intel iMac, OS X 10.5 using Setup Assistant.
I bought the Intel Mac from my son in perfect working order in a very vanilla kind of configuration. Rather than using the Migration Assistant and re-installing my old PPC applications, particularly, Microsoft Office 2004, I decided to reinstall the OS from scratch, so I could migrate everything using Setup Assistant.
When prompted by the Setup Assistant, I connected the two systems with a Firewire 400 cable, rebooted the G5 in Target Disk Mode and waited for the magic to begin. Instead, I got the error message:
"There are no versions of Mac OS X available on your old Mac"
My old iMac was not physically connected to any other Firewire device and only to the keyboard via USB.
I used “Continue” several times at this point to try again; the result was nil response after up to 15 minutes. I used “Go Back” several times here also to, reseat the firewire cable connectors, substitute a new firewire 400 cable, try an Ethernet cable, and reboot my old iMac in target mode both by a cold start with the “T” key depressed and by restarting by using “System Preferences/Startup Disk/Restart/Target Disk Mode.” After trying to read the disk on my old IMac G5, my Intel iMac gave me this same error message every time.
When I reboot my old iMac, the OS is obviously there, so I cannot think of what is preventing the connection. I’ve been out on the web and found nothing that comes up in response to the error message, except one post at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=691645 for a user trying to use the Migration Assistant. His solution of mounting the old iMac as an external drive isn’t available in Setup Assistant, whose troubleshooting options at this point of the install are zip. I found nothing helpful chasing some hints at "possible firmware issues."
Man! What an unexpected, unpleasant surprise. Suggestions are welcome.
Roy

Of significance did your G5's drive mount on your new computer's Desktop when you connected them and booted the G5 into TDM? If it does then skip using Setup Assistant. I would first give Migration Assistant (on the new computer) a try. Or you can use common backup software to "backup" what you want from the old computer to the new one over the Firewire link.
If you don't have other backup software to use then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate - which is freely available. SuperDuper! is also a good choice if you already have a purchased copy. See the following for other options:

Just what is the newest Skype version for mac?...

I keep getting messages about a new skype version, or my skype keeps wanting to update but wont... The version I've got currently is version 6.19 (422). Is this the most latest one? Because it never actually tells you what skype version you are downloading/updating to on the website...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just ignore the updating, Skype is maintained now according to MS standard.
See my post about "NO to upgrades". The problem is that there are different versions for every platform, and they have no release policy, so the moment a new version is made for MS Windows, they try to do the same on all the other platforms.
Sorry Skype, but learn quickly never to touch anything that works. So upgrading is something you should never do, that may render you Skype useless. If it works, do not touch it. If it fails, go look for an old version that works. The novelty they have introduced is more bugs and slower systems, integration with Microsoft accounts (which I do not have) and they are probably working hard to replace servers out in the net, with their servers which is doomed to be a disaster.
Never change software that works!

I updated my old mac Mini to OSX10.5 (Leopard) and installed the latest version of Firefox, only to get a message that it 'is not compatible with this architecture'. Any suggestions on how to get a superior web browser back?

Upgraded old Mac mini (from 10.4 to 10.6) PowerPC G4 Processor, downloaded latest version of Firefox and ran installer, got a dialogue box that said 'not compatible with this architecture', now I don't have Firefox at all, and it is my preferred browser.

Firefox '''4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and an '''Intel Mac'''.
The''' latest supported version for your os is 3.6.26''' , you can download it from:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/10.0.1/system-requirements/ Firefox 10.0.1 System Requirements]
[For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, if you like, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8]

HT204053 I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music and allowed me to sync it to my iPod. What do I do?

I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music. Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account. What do I do?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

I need to download a newer version of itunes on my 10 year old mac. I can no longer sync my iphone to my computer itunes without this update. I have tried unsuccessfully 4 times, and have no idea what I am doing wrong. Suggestions anyone?

Tell me how to download a newer version of itunes on my old mac so i can it will sync to my iphone please.

Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.
