Hi Ruwim
Thanks a lot for your support. If IE is compulsory then that explains why my skype doesnt work.
I guess including this in the system requirements will spare you guys a lot of the same questions
I will find an alternative.
Have a lovely day and once again thanks for the help

Skype cant connect on Mac

Hi,
I am currently using the newest version of skype on my mac book air and after the update I could log in just fine, although just today I tried uninstalling and even changing my password on my phone to login to my skype but the message "skype cant connect" keeps poping up!!! help!!!

What exactly is the version of your currently installed Skype? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.
Also, what do you see when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?
https://apps.skype.com/home/
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Try this Lessmsi method:

Be aware that if you want to install the currently latest 7.0.0.102 version, then you should use SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi file in order to extract Skype.exe and Login.cab files.
SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi file can be downloaded using this link:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi
Note that should not run the SkypeSetup_7.0.0.102.msi but save this file to a folder on your computer.
Using Lessmsi application you should extract Skype.exe and Login.cab files from this saved msi-file and then paste these 2 files to Skype installation folder.
Be aware that there is now a new link to the Lessmsi application:

Solved!

Hi there, using Skype 7.4.0.102, Win 8.1 and IE 11. Skype worked fine when I installed it, even used it a day or two. Now when I start it, it comes up with the splash screen and the circle keeps going around. Never connects. I'm using Webroot Antivirus software.
As the busy doctor says "Small fevers greatly appreciated"!

ERROR MESSAGE -`SKYPE CANT CONNECT`` - GET HELP H...

URGENT HELP PLEASE! I CANNOT ACCESS SKYPE
Since yesterday 22 April 2014 - I am getting the same error message.
the skype help connection wizard gives 2 options:
1. contact network administration;
2. restart skype wait 2 minutes for it to reconnect automatically.
This I have done dozens of times and it doesnt happen. I am still without skype connection and have money invested in their account.
My question: is there anyone I can contact by mail, phone, at SKYPE ADMINISTRATION to solve this problem soon? I need to contact my handicapped son everyday through Skype we live in different countries, he needs my help daily.
I don´t know what else to do or who to ask for help.
Thanks a million for any hints.
Tessa

Skype 7.6 (409) Cant connect after sleep/lid-close...

Skype cannot connect after sleep or after I've closed the lid of the computer. I've tested this out and it sometimes opens up the main skype chat window however I am offline and cannot go online.
I've tried several methods;
- deleting $TMPDIR/Skype directory
- deleting my username folder from ~/Library/Application Support/Skype
- deleting ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/shared.xml
- Re-installing skype
The only solution seems to be restarting my computer so I can relogin with skype. However this is not an acceptable solution.

I couldn't find the edit button . I've succesfully found the problem causing it. However since I can't debug the skype app I am unable to find a solution as of yet.
My culprit was vagrant. Everytime I boot up a vagrant instance of a vm (which is whenever I turn on my computer) I get dropped out of skype. I've tested this as far as starting a vagrant during a skype call. The call doesnt drop (it kinda stutters) but I am logged out of skype immediately.
The things vagrant does are logged here;
==> vagrant_instance: Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
==> vagrant_instance: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
==> vagrant_instance: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> vagrant_instance: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...

I suspect there is a port misalignment, however the ports I've specified should not conflict with skype afaik.

hiya i have try connecting to skype with my laptop but it says cant connect

What Firewall and Antivirus applications are installed on your computer?

Any help me please cant connect

i have skype SkypeSetup_6.0.0.120 dont like new version and cant connect wat file need place in skype folder for open?

You will not be able to make use of any Skype version older than 6.14. Skype versions older than 6.14 are retired and can no longer be used.

Skype wont connect

so recently i set up a proxy for skype, and i guess it backfired and now i cant connect to skype. the infinite turning logging in wheel. i've restarted my computer, tried to delete said proxy, inputed the proxy info into skype connection options, reinstalled skype to the newest version (which it was) and downloaded IE 11. nothing seems to be working. help pls?

Same with me. I've done everything from uninstall to install again, created a new account, but still it wont connect. I've read that turning off your firewall or uninstalling it would work but i dont know how. I have Mcafee but i dont know how to uninstall it. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Safari cant connect to a server.

I have Safari Version 7.0.2 (9537.74.9) Running on a powerbook with   10.9.2
message. when I open google, facebook or twitter... "Safari cant connect to server."
and firefox .. but I can open almost any other website.
This is the message I get in Firefox.
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Sometimes when I restart the computer it works for a few minutes then it gets blocked again...
I have tried restarding the browsers, deleting the cookies and a few other stuff but nothing seems to be working..
This is a new Mac ANd I havent installed many programms in it.

You, or someone using your computer, changed the network settings in an attempt to bypass copyright restrictions on Netflix. The illegal DNS server you're using should never have been trusted and now doesn't work.
Delete all the DNS servers by selecting them and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom of the list. You may have to unlock the settings first by clicking the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and entering your administrator login password when prompted.
If the server addresses are grayed out and can't be deleted, even with the preference pane unlocked, then the change was made on your router. Refer to its documentation to find out how to reverse the change. The router should get its DNS settings automatically from the ISP.
Click OK, then Apply. The DNS server list should be repopulated automatically with the address of your router, or the addresses of the DNS servers provided by your ISP. If that doesn't happen, open the TCP/IP tab of the preferences and click Renew DHCP Lease. If you're not using DHCP, manually enter the DNS server addresses you got from your ISP, or else use these temporarily:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Cant connect my ios devices to my mac book air

I cant connect my IOS devices (iphone 4s + ipad 2) to my macbook air mid/2013 by usb or bluetooth.
when connecting by usb the devices dose not charge or sync with itunes. it charges for split a second and disconnect anther time and it go forever in the his loop.
I tried using two cables.
The devices are working on my windows pc.
my macbook works with usb sticks and other android phones.
note:
-both devices are on ios 8.1
-my macbook is on Yosemite
-my ipad 2 worked well before updating my mac to yosemite

iPods that have the Window format should continue to work on a Mac, because Macs can read/write the Windows format used on iPods. (The opposite is not true - Windows cannot read the Mac format.)
You can change the formatting, by doing a Restore on the iPod, but that is done in iTunes, so iTunes needs to see the iPod when you connect it. The Restore will also erase the iPod.
Since it continues to work on your friends Windows PC, your iPod itself is probably OK, so you may want to first look at the connection to the Mac.
Did you use the same USB docking cable when you connected it to your friend's PC? If so, you can rule out the USB cable as the cause. If not, it's possible that your USB cable is faulty.
If you are connecting the iPod to a USB hub, try a direct connection to the Mac's USB port. If other USB devices are connected at the same time, try disconnecting the other devices (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). You may also want to shut down (power off) the Mac, if you have not done so in a while. Also, do this to Reset the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the iPod by itself to a direct USB port.

I cant connect to WiFi on my iPod Touch 1G?

I have had an iPod Touch 1G for quite some time now, but I recently upgraded the iOS firmware to 3.1.3, and I just noticed that I cant connect to wifi! Nothing is grayed out, but it cannot find any connections. Ive tried resetting my router and wifi settings, but that diddnt seem to work either.

So it is not this problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Teh try:
Does the iPod connect to other networks? (noit clear if you have access to more than one)
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
