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 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.

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.

How pinnacle can be used for streaming video for mac app?

How pinnacle can be used for streaming video for mac app?

Hi naturalfemale,
As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
Additional Information
Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.
OS X: Using captioning features in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5910
At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

Videos for mac

i have a attachment with wmv format (windows media Video) can i view this videos in mac or what program of mac can i use?

Unless you're able to find an early version of "Flip4Mac" that's OS 8.6-compatible, you'll need to upgrade your iMac to 10.3.9 and QuickTime 6.5 or newer to run the current version. For now, you can download/install Windows Media Player 7.1 for Mac. In addition to playing .wmv files saved to your hard drive, it will install a browser plug-in, so that .wmv content can be viewed in your browser window. With only 32 MBs of installed memory, you really need to add more, because Virtual Memory is a slower alternative and should be considered a temporary measure, when set to 2x the amount of installed memory (as you have it). If you're running the (now-discontinued) final release (v. 5.1.7) of Internet Explorer for pre-OS X Macs, it needs at least 20-25 MBs of memory assigned to it, to run smoothly. This memory allocation is completely separate from your iMac's system's memory requirements. Until you have more physical memory installed, you may experience system freezes running OS 8.6.

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/ ...

Is there free software I can use to convert mts videos for Mac

My son gave me three movies he took on a Canon Vixia that are in mts format. I can only open them in VLC, but I want to put them online and usually use Quicktime to make the files smaller for the web. These files won't open in Quictime or in iPhoto or iMovie or iTunes. I don't want to buy software, because I just need it for these particular movies - I downloaded two kinds of software that worked fine but put a large company logo on the upper left of the movie after it was converted if one wanted to use it free. Can anyone recommend a way that I can make these files compatible so I can upload them to the web?
Alternatively, is there a reliable, inexpensive bit of software I could download so I can process these films? I'm not averse to paying, but will only use this software once, probably. Thanks for your help.

Hi Barbara,
Not aware of a free converter, but there are free players...

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 download for Mac taking 20 hours

Why is it taking 20 hours for the new version of Skype to download onto my Mac laptop? I have a job interview coming up and I needed to download this because my login would not work on old version. Help!!

Skype video for ipad

Has anyone tried this yet and what setup, headphones, does one need. Also does the caller need a number for Calling the ipad. thanks
Steve

You need a Skype account and have to read through their Help sections and all to get an idea of what their service offerings are. You can get a number for your account, not for the iPad, but you pay extra for that.
I've uses the Skype app to send phone calls, for audio and text chats and messages and .... I guess that's about it. No video chatting on the iPad of course, due to no camera. I think I got video from my brother once, but he no longer turns his on unless I do mine also, as in on the iMac.
The app has plenty of audio out ( not all do) so you won't need headphones unless you're in a noisy area. I'd be surprised if the integrated (mic included) ones wouldn't work, but haven't had one to play with.

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!

Jabber Video for Mac 4.6 does not find iSight camera

Hello.
I recent purchased a new Mcbook Air (MacBoorAir6,2) and was hoping to use the new built in HD camera with Jabber Video. Except JV doesnt seem to find the camera in prferences. I assume that since this MBA has only been out for a week that it's just a matter of Cisco updating the JV client to support the camera? Or is there something I need to do to the OS so JV will be able to use the camera?

Yes, version 4.7 solves this issue. Download here:
