Skype 2.8 won't work with Mac OS 10.4.11

I'm using the first gen Macbook Intel running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I'm trying to install Skype 2.8. The program downloaded but when I tried to install it, it gave me an error "This version of Skype is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X". According to Skype's website the minimum requirement is 10.3. Any help will be great.

Firefox 3.6.28 is the latest version of Firefox that works on 10.4.

Firefox 5 won't work with Mac OS 10.4, but I can't afford to upgrade the system; how can I keep using Firefox 4?

This computer is an eMac running the Tiger operating system. Rather than upgrading the entire system, which is costly and time-consuming, is there simply a way to keep using the previous version of Firefox?

IChat using AIM account suddenly won't work with MAC accounts

Hello,
Our company is all Mac and uses ichat on a daily basis for employees to communicate around the world. I have a user in Canada who is experiencing a perplexing problem.
Until recently, her iChat text ability worked just fine, whether it was to another user with an AIM or Mac ID. She is using an AIM ID. However, there are now 2 users that have Mac ID's that she is unable to receive or send text messages from. If they send her a message, it shows she has an incoming message but she cannot open it. Nor can she send them a message. She can however, video chat with them. I thought at first it had something to do with her having an AIM account and them having Mac accounts, but she is still able to send and receive messages from all other users with Mac accounts.
I have gone through all her settings that I can think of; nothing is blocked. I asked her if she noticed the problem after an update or something like that. She thinks she was prompted to do a software update shortly before the problem started, but she's not 100%. She's on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.2 (604).
Any insight into fixing this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Check the two @Mac names are not set to use Encryption.

Cinema Display 24" won't work with Mac Mini 3.1

I recently purchased a refurbished Apple LED Cinema Display 24" from a buddy. I'm pairing it with my used Mac Mini 3.1 (2009?). The display port mini connections seem to match. The USB is plugged in. The only cable unused is the "macbook power" plug, from the display. I know the display and CPU both work fine independently. Cinema display seems to power the USB and "Macbook power". I just can't get any life out of the display. These 2 devices should work together right? Is there a sceret power-button that I don't know about?

The video cards that ship with the current Pro have one Display Port and one mini DVI port.
There is an adapter to connect a DVI monitor to a Display Port connection. There is no such thing as an adaptor that will let you connect a Display Port equipped monitor to a mini DVI port on the graphics card.
Final Cut Pro uses dual monitors connected to the same graphics card. Using a twin graphics card setup causes problems with FX Plug FCP plugins, which can cause FCP to fail to launch.
The solution is to find a Graphics card with dual Display Port connectors, (if one even exists) or replace it with a grahics card that uses dual DVI ports, such as the ATI 3870 HD. Of course, the latter means that you cannot connect two 24" Apple Cinema Displays.

Fire wire drive won't work with Mac Pro

This is kind of crazy. I just bought a MacPro 2.8 Ghz 8-core. I hook up my OWC Neptune FW drive to it. Nothing. Didn't Apple invent Firewire? It boots just fine on the ten year old G4 running OS 10.4.11. I really am getting a little annoyed with Apple. They control the software, the hardware, and created firewire, but it doesn't work. On the other hand, is it a problem with the FW drive being a couple of years old? Should I be writing OtherWorldComputing instead?
Thanks in advance for any help.
MGuilfoile

Thank you very much. That clarifies the boot issue. The firmware password is a password that you can only create when booting from your Leopard disk, then set it from the OSX menu.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352
Now, I can see some discussions reporting similar issues:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=2008061212382380 (you need membership)
also for certain firewire drives, you need a firmware update:
http://www.neowin.net/news/main/04/11/09/apples-mac-os-x-update-brings-word-of-f irewire-problems (now, this refers to Panther but it is VERY likely that you need to do the same on OSX Leopard. You HAVE updated via the "combo update"? http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10-5-6_ComboUpdate)
NB: could finder be your issue? have you repaired disk permissions with disk utility? (only a thought)

Samsung 20" Pebble monitor - replacement won't work with Mac Mini

We had no trouble connecting a 20" Samsung SM2032BW monitor to my mum's new Mac Mini and all worked well till the monitor broke (the button fell off...). Samsung cheerfully sent a replacement monitor the next day but the new one - probably reconditioned, but that's fine - gives only the 'check cable signal' message.
Clearly the Mac Mini has no objections to this model of Samsung, what sort of freaky thing might it be? I am advising my mum by phone and have access to her Mac Mini by logmein.com. There might be some other combinations of changing the screen resolution or startup order of all the equipment (eg disconnect monitor, boot up Mac, and then connect and power up monitor). Or should I try to look at the menu on the Samsung monitor and see what options there are?
thanks...

Hi, thanks for offering some help.
Connection is a DVI cable. I have tried getting my mum to press the menu button but it just gives a message that alternates between analog and digital. She's unable to change the setting to digital.
I have been looking at the user manual online. The monitor seems to be working fine according to the self-test procedure. My guess is that it will work using a VGA cable and I am posting my mum a VGA cable and a DVI/VGA Apple adaptor. It's a little annoying if we can't get it to work using the same cable as we used for the old and identical monitor, but hey, if it works then I should leave it that way.
I'll post again if the VGA connection works, but if you have any other suggestions, I'm interested to hear.
THanks again...

New version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

new version of safari won't work on mac 10.7.5, can't be removed, can't be replaced with old version

When I try to open safari a message says: You can't use this version of the application Safari with this version of Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
I see Recovery needs Wi Fi which is not available here and Recovery is loaded with a list of potential disasters.
To heck with Safari I'll just use Firefox. Apple sure screwed up here judging from the multitude of similar complaints on the internet.

Please help! Ipod won't work with my itunes after plugged into MAC

Hi, I am brand new to my ipod and i plugged it into my PC to get it started, then i plugged it into a friends mac to get his songs- now when i plug it back into my computer it says it is linked to another itunes library and asks if i want to link it back to this one and replace all of the music. I do not want to loose all of the music but want it reconnected to my itunes with the music on my computer and taking the music on the ipod (from my friends itunes) into my itunes. What do i do? I apologize if this is something posted before,i couldn't find an answer. Please help!! thanks

That above article will not resolve the issue. It explaines it clearly in the article.
"Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported."
this means that it won't work with out a 3rd party tool. You HAVE to restore it if you take it between different OS. That document works only if your taking it between windows machines or all mac machines.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter.

My Viewsonic monitor won't work with the Imac using the Mini Port to DVI adapter. I also tried the HDMI to DVI adapter ane the Mac-Mini with same result. The monitor does work on my older Macbook Pro that has the DVI connector. Is it a Software/Driver issue ?

Should be extremely simple, please carefully read Connect multiple displays to your Mac. If you still have problems then it's probably a cable issue that would be resolved by replacing the adapter cable. You should be using this adapter. If you are using a third party adapter that might be your problem!

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
Mac OS 10.5.8 or later is required.

3rd party USB mouse won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9

3rd party USB mouse (see specs below)won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9.
http://www.inland-products.com/singleproduct.asp?search=usb&partnum=07340-SpecR
I notice the specs say this mouse works with windows(no mention of Mac) yet the guy where I bought it assured me it would work fine with a Mac. The keyboard/mouse preferences shows a muouse but there is no movement or response from mouse. I would assume it was not reading it if not from appearance of "mouse" preference. I also have intalled UBBoverdrive in hopes that that might help but device/mouse menue does not appear to support mouse.
Is there a way to get this to work or should I just return it to the vendor?
Can anyone suggest a good CHEAP 3n button mouse for Mac?

The name of that mouse is deceiving. It is not a USB mouse it is a wireless mouse. Unfortunately without the proper OS X drivers for the USB/wireless adapter you won't be able to get that thing to work.
If you are looking for an inexpensive USB mouse, checkout the Kensington Mouse in a Box Optical.
Does your iBook have Bluetooth? If so take a look at the Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth Mouse. I have one of these and it works great.

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.

Convert .MXF Video files to work with Mac Editing software?

Hello,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Trying to find software that will edit .MXF Video Files to work with Mac.
As the edit is simple, prefer iMovie, but happy if the Conversion software only works with FCExpress (or even FCPro if that is the only alternative).
1. If it matters, .MXF (Material Exchange Format) Video files came from shooting on a Panasonic 500 P2. Originally downloaded onto a Windows system, using Adobe Premiere.
2. I just want to see and convert some of the shots I did for my Reel, etc., but I have a Mac.
3. I have iMovie HD, iMovie 09, and FCExpress (which I don't know how to use that well).
4. When I attach an External HD with backup files of all the footage shot, they show up named as .MXF files. They appear as VLC files (VLC icon), but the suffix is .MXF.
5. When I try to play them as VLC files, they won't play. It seems they start to play, but then the VLC software quits.
6. So I have tried downloading some software on the Internet that Google says converts .MXF files.
I tried: iSkysoft Video Converter, AVCWare Mac Video Converter, MPEG Streamclip, and a couple others. They all seem to have basically the same conversion setups, but when I click to pick one .MXF file, none of them recognize it. (The file in my Browse window is greyed out).
7. MoyaVideo Converter for Mac recognizes the .MXF file, but when I hit the "conversion" button - I tried a couple different settings, all it seems to convert is the first frame. Even if the .MXF file says a clip is 123MB or 43 seconds long, etc.
8. I can't even watch the clip in Preview. Press Play and it is just the first frame.
9. I have read elsewhere in these forums, some people touting conversion software from a company in Germany - mfxformac. I am fine with paying for conversion software, but $500?
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for your response.
If this codec can only be read by Final Cut Pro, why do all these companies claim their software can convert .MXF files?
