Old Versions of Skype (6.x)

Since Microsoft removed all older versions of Skype from their servers and my computer does not run the newest versions withot lag, I am searching an old full-offline Setup of Skype, preferably 6.17.
inb4: Google it!
I googled and found some setups, however these were versions <6.14 and they can't connect to the skypeservers anymore. (Yes, even those from filehippo & oldapps.com)
Solved!

It's not about the RAM, it's about the graphical userinterface which is just bloated. I am using a GPU from the stone-age.
However, as I said, all Microsoft Installer Setups were removed from the Skypeservers, so no links from this forum showed me a setup.
Nevertheless, I've managed to download some old setups via archive.org but I don't know how long they are in the cache of it, so I'm just posting some links here now and close this thread.
(All these setups are signed by Skype, if you want you can check the hashes.)

Depends on what you mean by old. All versions prior to 6.14 is now retired, and cannot log on to the Skype servers.

Old versions of skype (3.8.115)

Hello, please let us log in to old versions of Skype. I've been using the 3.8.115 version for many years and it's always have been my favourite Skype version. I loved the chat interface, it was clear, in good soft colors and the messages were aligned - one on another, in the same spot. Actual version of skype has much worse chat interface, with many weird colours, messages are thrown to both sides and the adressess nickname field colour is darker (which should be lighter). You don't have to support and upgrade the od version of skype (but, hey, why not?) but you could just let us use them, let us log onto them. If a Skype user wants to use the older version why don't you let him doing that?

Can't delete old version of Skype

I have 2 versions of skype on my iMac and can't delete the first. I had version Skype 2.8.0.722 then I subsequently upgraded to version 5.0.0.7994. However, the later version did not seem to overwrite the first and the old version always stills opens up when I turn on the computer. I then have to eject the old version and open the the later version. When i try to drag the old version to trash, a dialogue box opens saying "The item “Skype” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."
Can anyone help?
thanks

You say you are trying to eject Skype which doesn't sound right and sounds like you may be running it from the desktop.
Did you definitely install correctly - downloaded the app, expanded the downloaded file and then dragged the app onto your Applications folder? If Skype 2.8 is located there it would definitely be overwritten by the new version, prompting you with a warning that you're about to overwrite an older version.
Have a look in your Application folder and check that Skype is there, highlight it and do Command+I and that will confirm which version number it is. If you also have the Skype app on your desktop do the same to confirm that is the later version and drag it on top of the Applications folder. If it's not on your desktop it must be lurking in another location on your computer so in Finder do Command+F and search Skype - it should show you where they're all hiding.
HOWEVER, before you commit to Skype 5 have you read the negative press and had a look at the Skype forums which are full of vitriol about this hideous new un-Maclike incarnation of what is a great app?
Edited to add: If you're still having trouble deleting one of the versions you could try an app like TrashMe ( http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/33863/trashme ) but it'll probably delete all your Skype files and you'll need to start again (that's what it did to me but once I re-logged into my Skype account all my contacts re-appeared).

Every time i restart an old version of skype loads even though i have a new version installed

The old application shows up on my desktop also and no matter how many times i drag it to trash, it comes back up at restart. So i think that is the problem.

Try selecting the Skype than needs to be deleted and press "Command+Delete" to skip the trash and instantly delete it. If that does not work then try deleting both and installing a fresh copy.

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.

How to install a pre-Microsoft version of Skype?

Ever since Microsoft took over xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype with their xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx media programming and cluttered interface it has been unusable on my WIndows 7 64 bit PC, continually hogging all of my CPU and making the computer freeze and forcing me to restart every time.
Can someone tell me how to install an old version of Skype so I can use this program again?
Thanks

So .. you would like to install as you say, an earlier version and disable updates, yes, you can (6.14 and above).
Now would you like to install an earlier version, that say does not support the new way Skype works, turn off updates and ... look at the shortcut (it does not support newer technology and will not work on the current infrastructure, just as old cellphones does not work anymore).
Even if the most fluffy nicest bunny company known to man owned Skype, there would be changes, version retirements, new protocols (h265 comming up soon) and a host of other reasons for changes, even country/regional legislation occationally forces software companies to have to change their products and offcourse patents (Apple had to redo Facetime due to not wanting to pay royalties for a patent).

Need to download an older version of Skype!

So, basically, this new version of Skype and my computer do not get along. There are too many glitches in the newer version that simply makes it unusable on my computer.
To cut to the chase, my timezones are all wrong, my country is wrong, and my chat doesn't work > I get the notifications that someone is talking to me, but cannot see the text as well as when I reply I also cannot see what I've written.
Long story short, please do not bother trying to "fix" my current problems because a) I have already had another forum where my problem could not be fixed and b) I rather the old version anyways because this new version is just a handful of headaches!
SO that out of the way - older versions? Download links? Is it possible to download an older version of Skype through Skype or do I have to go to another website?

I didn't start a new thread for the same problem.
It's like every day I turn on skype it's one step closer to self-destruction.
The other thread is about my timezone problems WHICH may I add, have yet to be solved for version 6.1. My timezones for my contacts and I are still being displayed wrong. Only some seem to be displayed correctly.
I'm having a different problem, on top of the other one, except this one makes Skype UNUSABLE. I cannot chat. My chats are all frozen to yesterday's conversations. I thought it was just the new version of skype (since the problems started upon the upgrade) but now that I've downloaded the older version, I still cannot chat. I'm having the same problem.
EDIT: ALTHOUGH - checking the timezones on the old version of Skype, they seem to be all correct.

Old vsn of Skype loads on startup

An old version of Skype loads on startup despite the latest Skype version being listed in Applications? why?

Trash the old version and it's preferences, restart your computer and empty the trash. If that does not work, post in Skype's forum community.

I can't connect to the new downloaded version of Skype, as my old one is in the way, and don't know how to get rid of it.

You don't. The only place to obtain apps for any iPhone is the app store. However, most, if not all of those apps won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone & most developers no longer support it.

How can i get a old version of an application(eg Skype)

Hello,
how can i get a old version of an application(eg Skype Viber)

your apps aren't stored in an itunes backup because they should be in your library via transferring purchases when it says 'there are purchases on your device that aren't in your library. if you don't transfer them, you will no longer have access to them'
itunes doesn't back up stuff that is already in your library because it would backup up to your hard drive twice

Installed skype 7.6 but can't uninstall old version.

Hello, I recently upgraded to 7.6 as advised and it works fine. However, the old version is still installed and continues to ring and ring when I connect on the new version.I cannot find the old version on my programmes list to uninstall it. What has happened here?

downloaded quicktime standalone version, no luck there, says it can't uninstall the old version, error 1714, then it says fatal error -1603 during installation.
let's first try this technique to see if we can get past the 1714.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?

Hello,
That is a relatively old Windows software version. The current version is 6.9.0.106
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
