Skype Phone for Mac OS 10.5.8?

Dear Apple discussions,
Can anyone recommend a UK spec Skype Phone for Mac OS 10.5.8?
Regards,
Technoapple

O.K. I may have asked this question before.
I want a dedicated skype phone with perfect Mac integration.
I still don't have a recommendation for a non-apple product.
Is that breaking the rules?
Having searched google and read some reviews I chose this one because it has a good review from a Mac owner.

Skype upgrade for Mac 10.5.8 not working

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Skype upgrade for Mac not working"]
Skype just left my 79 y.o. father wihtout SKYPE, he is running 10.5.8 becasuse it is good enough for him, he is used to it aafter years of using it.
You cant ask an older person to start searching forums etc.
They rely on the companies that make the products they trust.
I have helped him download and install Skype_6.3.0.604.dmg (we are 500 km away) but the program now says it is not supported.
I can tell my dad to modify the /etc/hosts file and the info.plist.
This is just ridiculous.
SKYPE: YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE THE CHANCE TO UPDATE TO A VERSION THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK!!!!

Not to sound fraternising, but the matter of fact is that nothing has been changed in tcp/ip, that is used by Skype. What has been changed is that Microsoft now manage the code, and with that comes the Microsoft way of doing things. If this includes complete lack of version control and software management, I suggest you do not change one thing.
What you do not explain and fail to mention is that features that used to work, does not work in your new versions, and the simplest way to get it to work is to remove everything that has been changed.
What has been changed is how the tcp/ip packets are sent on the Internet. The software that MS acquired used straight forward, standard tcp/ip with non-lingering sockets, which is the ITU-T variant of tcp/ip that is also the US FCC RFC. If Microsoft wants to implement Skype on Netbios, go ahead, but do not expect others to follow, and allow the rest of the world, including those that used to run Skype on Windows, to leave and find the attempt a complete waste of time, and the software utter worthless.
It is very well defined what Skype is expected to deliver of functionality, just now, it is to perform just as good as two years ago. If you cannot acheive this by Windows used on servers on the network, that is a change that removed functionality, and did not add anything. It is simple to get it back - drop the Windows relay servers. Microsoft cannot rewrite international standards - and do not tell us to endorse any attempt of that nature. It would be nice if the world was a cube, but all your effort in telling us that it is convenient does not change facts: it will be round as a bowling ball, and tcp/ip has to be fully standard, not one that keeps open long after the connection has been taken down to allow MS to implement IPX/SPX functionality in Skype. We are not interested, and nobody is, I doubt Mr. Nadella would endorse this had he known.

Lumia 920 does not sync with Windows Phone for Mac

I cannot sync any item between my Lumia 920 and with Mac.
Many users indicated that the problem encountered when syncing the Lumia 920 with Windows Phone for Mac is resolved by using the option "Allow access to folder" to the iTunes library. However, I have tried several times with many folders but cannot sync anything between my phone and my Mac.
I also modified the security options of my Mac by allowing the Windows Phone app to access my computer but with not success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Solved!

Hi mate,
As of yet, this appears to be an unresolved issue, but as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services, you will need to contact Microsoft directly.

Desktop Skype Phones for Windows 8

Hi All, I've downloaded Skype on my desktop for Windows 8 (I wasn't too happy with the app). I use a Skype number through my laptop (used as a server) which is shared between me and another individual in my office. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to get a USB Phone that we could use for this skype account so that either of us can answer the call or dial out from it? Any help would be great thanks.

If you want to resort to using a USB-based Skype phone or adapter, I would suggest getting one that works in conjunction with SkypeMate. That 3rd party application tends to get updated enough to be compatible with some Skype 6.x releases whereas other USB phones I've seen tend to discontinue support and only work up to the release when they were discontinued.
For more information on your options, please read my responses in the following thread:

Smart Phone for Mac user/ Medical Student

Trying to find a smartphone that will integrate well with my mac. I'll be using it for email, calls, texts, dates, drug refrences, and everything else a medical student can cram into a pda type device. I was looking at the BlackBerry Curve, Treo, and ATT's 8125 (or something like that). Any recomendations? Thanks

Unfortunately, Sprint don't appear to offer a single iSync compatible phone. This is probably because they are a CDMA network, and most iSync compatible phones use GSM, the network standard used almost everywhere else in the world.
Also, by wanting to avoid using The Missing Sync range of products you limit your choices to just Blackberry devices, which can by synced with Blackberry's Desktop Manager for Mac software:
http://www.blackberry.com/mac/
I can't comment on how reliable this software is though.
Realistically, if you want a limited choice of iSync compatible phones you're going to have to switch to a GSM network provider, (if you want to choose between hundreds of iSync compatible phones you'll have to move to Europe).

Where to find Skype application for Mac 10.6.8

I operate an iMac on OSX version 10.6.8 and for years have been using Skype.
Yesterday, I downloaded the new Skype for Mac without realising it can only be used for the latest generation Macs. Stupidly, I had trashed the earlier Skype application in my Applications folder and now I cannot access my account!
Please tell me where I can get the old application back preferably not through any third-party site. I went to the official Skype site but could not find it. Thank you.

found it it's under /etc/apache2/ ...

Skype translator for Mac/iphone/ipad??

Just got email about Skype translator with info about Windows, Microsoft account etc. How about your customers on Mac? Would be nice to add info for them wouldn't it?

I am DEAF, avid user of Skype and have all Apple devices. I have been waiting for Translator as I need captioning. Please POST when you get how to download this with my Skype on Mac. Big thanks in advance as I know that Microsoft & Skype support their Deaf and HOH customers. I can't imagine you would stick it to us just to give up Mac/IOS. As a business person, I get that you want great consumer adoption of Windows and Microsoft products. I get it but to hold hostage Deaf and HOH consumers who love and need Skype while having Apple, is just not good business and not in line with Microsoft values. So I know you will always start with your Microsoft product but know that I am a Microsoft customer too as I have loyalty having bought Office software and continue to do so for decades. TIA.

Skype Video for Mac?

I read news about new version of Skype with VIDEO, but on Skype site there is only a Windows XP version.
Why Apple does not work together with Skype to provide a solution to Mac users?

Skype download for Mac taking 20 hours

Windows phone for mac

Hi there I have a lumia 800 on EE uk I have checked the nokia servers and the 7.8 update is available for my advice but Im still not getting the notification to update. I use a mac so I dont have zune so cant try this so called zune trick I have rang my provider and rang phones 4 u whom I got the contract from neither have been very helpful in helping me resolve this. I have friend with the exact same device on the same network and he has got his update. I really want mine!!! any suggestions?

It seems you need to use your friends PC running Windows to do that ...

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!

Best CDMA Phones for Mac - Suggestions Sought

Anyone have any suggestions on a good phone to sync w/my MacBook Pro & iMac? I'm limping along with numerous steps using iCal import/export, PhoneDirector and iCal Dupe Deleter. There must be a better way! Plus, I want to get email on my phone now. Tethering capability needed, also.
iPhone is out-of-the-question as my carrier in Alaska only runs CDMA.
Alternatively, any REAL solutions for CDMA iPhone compatibility?
Thanks in advance-

I hear good things about the Skull Candy earphones. I mean if you want the best, Bose, Beats by Dre are 2 of the best earphones, but they're over $100..haha
