Skype versions: 6.18 but different chat layouts

I have Skype for Windows version 6.18.0.106, a friend has Skype for Windows version 6.18.64.106. Both of us are told we have the latest version when we check for updates. Why is this?
My friend sees a new UI with profile picture thuimbnails and balloons in the chat window.

I updated skype and I was ready to stop using it entirely because of the 64 layout that made me want to gouge my eyes out. I had to come looking online when I found that you simply cannot change it in the client and found this.
I'm still not satisfied with the 0 version. For some reason, someone thought it would be good to add excess padding between each message. In the space that used to fit around 20 messages now fits about 8. Why in gods name would you not give the user the ability to change the padding of the messages. And why would you even make TWO SEPARATE RELEASES OF THE SAME **bleep** VERSION. Confuses the **bleep** out of me.

Skype version 7.10 (777)

Hi Support, When my Skype updated the latest version it seems my group chat don't work anymore (I can't send and receive messages). Then I tried to compare it with my macbook pro Skype version 7.9 the group chat work perfectly. Where can I download the older version in Skype 7.9 instead of 7.10?

I just fix this problem Quit and Remove the app. (drag to recycle-bin)
Then remove the Skype folder at ~/Library/Application Support
and then goto ~/Library/Preferences
Remove the com.skype.*.plist files found there.. (note just those labelled com.skype... etc)
Re-install the skype 6.15 (335) DONE

Skype cannot connect. (Windows XP, Skype version 3...

Hi there,
Since yesterday I can not connect to my account. I've also tried on three different PCs at home and tried to connect to couple of different accounts. Probably issue with my internet supplier, but I've decided to search for help here at first. How should I proceed from now on?
Thank you!

I am also looking for an alternative to skype now that they have greatly disresepcted paying customers. Do you have any good suggestions?
Not known any alternatives yet. Goolge+ has some sort of function for real time videocalls, which runs on browser, without need to install anything on the background. But it's not same as Skype and it doesn't support wireless handsets.
I think there's a lack of fast working instant messenger for now. Some skilled programmers could create new P2P instant messenger to replace Skype.
Here's some ideas for it (anyone can feel free to use them):
- Open source
- Written in C or some other goor programming language that creates native code, and can be ported to any platform. Native code means, that it will run FAST, with minimum amount of memory needed to do things (that's 100% opposite of the principle of current Skype versions).
- De-centralized P2P network architecture which is not owned by anyone and which cannot be sold to Microsoft or other companies (which will just spoil the product, like happened with Skype). Little bit like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which do not have any "central" organization behind them and the product kind of "lives" in the network, when each node will help to keep it living.
- End-to-end encryption of all communications, with traffic routing thru many nodes (just like tor nework). No goverment / NSA backdoors included.
Let's hope that we will see something like this in some day...

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...

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!

Trying to liscense my Student version of Lightroom, but serial number I was given is "invalid"

The title pretty much sums up my problem; every time I enter it the number in, it says the serial number is invalid and tells me to contact customer support. I tried getting help in chat; the representative looked up the number, and apparently the number I was given is fine and they left immediately
I directly copied and pasted the number from the validation email after a few failed tries. Still no dice.
I own the physical version of Lightroom, but my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive.
Help?

There are two different “newest versions” of LR 5.6 that are licensed differently. One, from the Updates page, is a standalone version that is licensed via a serial number. The other is licensed by a cloud login. It may be that you have the cloud-licensed version and need the serial-number-licensed version.
I’d suggest that even though you have what you believe is the newest version, you uninstall what you have, and install the one from the Updates page.

Bug in Version 7.5!!! Quit Skype not working in skype version 7.5!

Hey! Any one facing this same issue?I am using windows 7 ultimate x64 and the skype version 7.5 wont close by "Quit Skype". I have to manually kill it from the task manager. I downgraded to 6.0 version and it works fine.Fix it developers!!!Thanks.
Regards,Yusuf

Try to reset all Skype settings. Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old. Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder. Restart Skype. N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

How can I let firefox save usernames/passwords for multiple subdomains that use the same username but different passwords?

on a particular website that has sub domains I have multiple accounts with the same name but different password. Firefox seems only able to save one of them, because they are on the same site.

How can I have 2 versions of Numbers but only 1 app? Read

This is the weirdest thing I ever saw. It's driving me crazy and making me look like fool.
In an earlier post I mentioned that something happened to my numbers. The window looked very different from this afternoon when I created 2 new spread-sheets. I must have sounded crazy to qinn below in my answer.
Now I clicked the Numbers icon in the dock and it opened to my original Numbers 09 (2.3). So I tried to open a sheet I created a few hours ago and it says I can't open that file, I need a later version of Numbers. OMG
Just a though so I opened the finder, went to the applications folder and I only have ONE Numbers.app. So I clicked on that and low-and-behold the new 3.2.2 opened!!!!!!!
How can I have 2 versions of numbers but only one app???? I thought I was going crazy. Now I know something isn't right.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi Allen,
Look in your Applications folder for an other folder "iWork '09".

How can I create 2 catalogues (same design but different languages)

Hello,
I have to launch 2 catalogues (32 pages) in Indesign, with an equal layout but different languages. My client will need to start them both and won't wait for a agreement on a Master file. He'll update the layout all along the realisation (color, pictures and graphic design). To avoid waisting time by correcting twice, would you have a tip to link both composition and enhance automatically the background layout and ajustements over and above the languages ?
What would be the best method ?
Thanks a lot for your advices !
Caro.

Welcome to the discussions.
In the Accounts tab of Mail's preferences, you can set the Full Name (I don't know how it will be labelled in French - it is the 3rd field in Account Information). This is the name that will be displayed in the From column of the recipient's mail client.
But if the mail accounts are for two different users, it would be better to set up a separate login account on the mac for each of them, and then set up the mail preferences for the separate users.

When I start iTunes I get the following message. "A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-42404)" I have installed the latest version of iTunes but still get this message. Can anyone help.

Hello mustangcim243,
iTunes has various components bundled with it that it requires for general usage. I advise that we completely remove iTunes and all of these related components, verify that they have been removed, then reinstall. To do so, please follow the steps in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Note: it is important to remove the 7 components in order. Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
If the above does not resolve your issue, I recommend we reset the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
(See Step 4: Remove the SC Info folder)
Thanks,

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My skype number is inactive but i have enough cred...

Hi, i'm in UAE for travel, my account says that my skype number is inactive, but i have enough credit. How can i active it??

What type of license is the key for: individual, student/teacher, government, team, enterprise, promotional, bundled, what?
Where did you get the software installer from, a link in your purchases area or a download elsewhere on Adobe's site or from ProDesignTools?
Is there anything that was done out of the ordinary, originally, to get your software to work?
In other words might the key be for a different type of license than the installer you're trying to use.

Importing files with same name but different extensions

Hope I will be clear enough.
Lets say that instead of sending a file from Lightroom to an external editor, I open it directly in Photoshop.
When I'm done, I save the edited photo using the same name but in a different file format : IMG_1333.cr2 > IMG_1333.psd or IMG_1333.tif, and selecting the same folder location.
Then, I come back into Lightroom and synchronise the folder.
Why is the knew version of the picture not showing up beside the original file, despite the different extension ?
I notice that the different extensions ( .psd or .tif ) are recorded in the sidecar files field in the Metadata panel.
Of course, everything works fine if the file name is modified ( or just by selecting the "copy" option in Photoshop's "save as" dialog box ). Lightroom synchronise dialog shows the new photo to import.
So, why is Lightroom not making a difference between files with the same name but different format extensions ?
Thanks for any hint :-)
Gilles.

Gilles-
I think your problem is likely that you have the option to stack the copy with the original turned on. First, right-click on one of these photos and go to the stacking menu. If Unstack is not grayed out then you have a stack -- select Unstack to reveal all copies.
To change the automatic stacking of edited copies from Photoshop, when you next choose to edit a file, in the bottom left corner of the dialog is the check box for unstacking. Clear it, and that choice should "stick" until you change it again.
Hope this helps!

Static version support for two different versions

our applet just supports java pluin verion 1.4.1_01 and 1.4.1_02. the applet encounts a security permisson problem with 1.4.1_03.
i would like to let our customers choose between different versions newer than 1.4.1 except verion 1.4.1_03.
is there any way to define the call for the applet to support only 1.4.1_01 or 1.4.1_02. i thought about listing to different clsid?
has anybody encountered the same problem? how can I meet this requirements?
thanks for your help.

You could try signed applets though that may not be an option for you. Otherwise you will need to remove the lines of code generating the security permission. Usually, there may be a way around it, but you'll need to post with what it is throwing the security exception. You could try to specify in your tab what plugin version to use but that is as far as you may be able to go.
Try to specify it in your tag like this or use htmlconverter in your java sdk bin directory.
