Skype won't install

I had to uninstall it because it would crash the second i opened it. Now that i'm reinstalling it, i open the SkypeSteup.exe thing and everything goes normally. The problem is, i've been stuck in the page that says "Skype is installing" for hours. The progress bar doesn't actually show any progress whatsoever.

OK, go to skype mobil.com and reisntall the application from their site. In my case, I was re-directed to my carrier's site (Verizon) and downloaded from there. Was able to sign-on after the download...

Skype won't install on iPhone 3GS

Hello, Skype for iPhone won't install on my 3GS -- I am using iOS 6.1.6. I downloaded it a week ago from the App Store and it gave me an option to install an earlier version for my device. I had to restore it today and now it says that Skype isn't compatiable with my device and to upgrade to iOS 7! I'm not forking out €500 for a new iPhone that I don't want. If they'll take shirt buttons, then it's a different story.Can someone please help? ~ Random Person

This appears to be a restriction on the Apple AppStore:If you are attempting to download the app for the first time, the App Store will not offer the download of an older version. You must already own the app for the older version to be offered. Workaround:If you do not already own the app, one workaround is to purchase/download the app from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC using the same Apple ID you are using on your iOS device. The app will then be associated with your account and you should then be offered an older version if you attempt to download the app again on the iOS device. copied from: http://community.skype.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-and-iPad/I-need-skype-4-17/m-p/3412951#M29197

Skype won't install (WIndows)

I have used Skype many times in the past on other computers. Today I downloaded the install and have been trying to install it on a different home PC and it will not install. Every time, the install module launches no problem, the install starts, the progress bar moves, then eventually a message says "We are having problems connecting to the download server. To download an alternative installer for Skype, click "Download" button." I already have the installer (both versions -- the thin and the full version) and this is the result every time I try to install either one. Please help! Is this a Skype server issue? I am not having any other issues -- PC, connectivity, downloading, etc.

It's baaaack... I think the new version is up to 6.2 but not sure. I am getting the same message now. I downloaded the full setup twice through this and neither work. Why is it trying to connect to the Download server anyways, I already downloaded it! Edit: I see there are a lot of posts regarding this issue dating back more than a year. Personally I succeeded in installing Skype5.2 from an old installer I have. But I wanted to update to 6.2... and failed after several attempts. I am now attempting the Portable Apps Platform version which is a new concept for me but a very interesting one. Learning something here...

Skype won't install - used to work

Skype used to work fine and then this morning stopped working. I have uninstalled it all and now it won't reinstall in the new or old version. Gives me the unexpectedly quit error - is this a skype problem or my mac problem.
Recently had to do a repair disk on my machine.
Thanks in advance

There is one version of Skype (v.5) that is for Intel Macs only.
The version we should use is v. 2.8.0.866 which you get from this link:

Just scroll down until you find it.

Skype won't install on Samsung Tab S 8.4

Hi, when I try to install this on my new Samsung Tab S 8.4 the procedure only provides me installing it on my samsung cellphone device as it can only identify this device. Why does skype don't give me an option to install it on Samsung Tab S?

Safari, Mail, iTunes and Skype won't open

Hi there Apple-Support-Team,
a few days ago I did an update of Safari, suggested automatically by Apple, but wasn't sure if the update was successfull (I had to leave the house).
Now all applications with internet connection (Safari, Mail, iTunes, Skype) won't open anymore. Not from the dock or the application folder. I checked my internet connection which seems to be working.
I've seen quite some reports in this forum but I am not sure if I'm having the same trouble as the other users. I get no error reports or anything else, the apps just don't open.
Mac OS X version 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Many thanks
Mexximexx

Welcome to the forums!
Did you restart your Mac after the install?
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.1 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.1 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.1 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.1, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
• Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.

Skype Won't Open (Concord ZTE V768)

As the subject states, Skype won't open. When i press the icon or press 'open' on the Google Play page, absolutely nothing happens. No error message, no attempt to open followed by immediate shutdown, no opening of the app. Any idea what might be happening here? Is Skype incompatible with my device?
Thanks in advance for your time.

I also encountered a similar problem with LTE phones 3. I have found the older version to install Skype on http://www.omnetic.com/apk/download-skype-for-android.html.

Windows Vista won't install Ipod

Latest version of Itunes 7.4.2 has been installed, unfortunately Windows Vista has located Ipod mini in "other devices" in "Device Manager", but it won't install the Ipod. I've reinstalled Iteune three times and searched the Windows Vista disk, but with no luck.
I'm on the verge of selling the ipod - any advice would be welcome.
Thanks

I suggest either getting a Mac or going back to Windows XP because Vista is known to have these problems.

My new blank hard drive won't install OSX from the disk?

For some reason my Mac book pro won't install OS through the install cd or through the flash drives. It will load the disk but then freeze when I click install. It won't load through the USB either. I have done multiple diagnostics at the mac store and they tell me that my hd is bad. Twice the hd was fresh out of the box and installed that day. I spoke to a supervisor via phone when I called apple care and he told me that unless I have all apple parts in the computer they can't accurately diagnose the issue. It feels like they're trying to con me into paying double for a "apple hd". What can I do to get my computer working?

I would purchase an external USB enclosure for the HDD. With the HDD in the enclosure, install OSX and then mount in your MacBook. If you continue to have problems, it could be a faulty internal SATA cable.

ITunes won't install (at all) on my Windows 8.1 64 bit computer

I've tried downloading iTunes for Windows 8.1 64-bit computers and it won't install on my machine. I did everything like I think I was supposed to ... but nothing happens. In addition I've tried connnecting my iPhone 5S to a USB port ... nothing good happens. My computer recognizes the iPhone but it won't do anything with it. Also I've tried the suggestions from "windows 8.1 itunes wont recognize iphone: Apple Support Communitites" which entertains that I can open control panel ... find Device Manager and try to install new driver software from my disk ... with the suggestion that I 'browse' and find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. ... and "Apple" does not exist under Common Files of either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)"
So now what????

What is the full text of the error message?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Creative Cloud Desktop app won't install error 207; Adobe server?

Is there a problem with some of Adobe.com servers? My employer just purchased a CC subscription for my work Mac, and the CC Desktop App won't install. I've restarted my Mac, quit all Adobe products, redownloaded the DMG file (creativecloudinstaller.dmg), and checked to make sure my firewall is off. But I still get an error message #207. My DNS servers are set to the same ones that other Macs in my group are set to, and they have CC on their Macs.
I don't know if it's related, but I can't load "adobe.com" in my browser, either. All other webpages are fine, including (obviously) this forum.
I am using OS 10.8.5, connected via Ethernet, and my browser is Chrome.

Thank you for your help, Ned. I also called Adobe help via phone, and he confirmed that my company's server needed to whitelist several Adobe sites. The company had revised their servers not long ago, and evidently did not transfer their old whitelists (which is why my coworkers had previously been able to access Creative Cloud). The phone support person emailed me a helpful list that I could forward to our company's tech support center—but the link you supplied in your response was also perfectly relevant.

CS4 master Collection won't install on XP

After paying the big bucks for this CS4 Master Collection software, I can't get it to install. I have 1.5 gig of ram, all slots full. Will it not install with that? The install won't let me install on a drive with 123 gig of free space, the install pop-up says there's not enough room please change location. I change it to another drive with 197 gig of open space and it won't install.
Customer service is closed until Monday...I'll be back in class and don't get out until 8pm every frickin weekday.
I'm working on a sony the runs 3.20 ghz with the 1.5 gig of RAM. I just reformated the harddrive but windows takes up the C: partition but the extention is 123 gig, and I have several other drives (with hundreds of gigs open) I've tried to put it on....it says they're too small.
I've tried to install the trial version and it does the same thing. I'm at my wits end with this!
If there's only one out there willing to help me I would really appreciate, because Adobe doesn't seem to give a fig about helping me.

How much free space is on the C:/drive? Without a lot of room you'll have a hard time installing any program even if you install it to a different drive. Windows needs lots of free space on C: for installing applications.
If you have little free space, then whoever set up that machine did a very poor job of it. There is no benefit at all to installing applications on a different drive than the operating system.

Skype will not install on ASUS tablet

Hi,
I bought a new Android tablet last week: ASUS transformer tf03CX.
It seemed to work just fine until I tried to start Skype and tapped the Skype icon.
After a few seconds it said: Installation interrupted (OK / Send information).
No matter which one of these two options I chosed, it either did nothing or presented me with EULA to accept, then did nothing.
I tried to remove and install Skype without result (the same behaviour as described above. Looking for more info I found "Skype installed". Perhaps therefore I can not install it anymore, even an earlier version as suggested by members of Skype community.
Please help me.
Greetings.
[Removed for privacy]

Okay, i figured it out. You have to reset your windows store, if you dont know how theres videos on youtube. Then try to install skype, if it doesnt work restart your tablet and try again. Mine installed but it wouldnt open because it said there was some problems with the app. To resolve them i went to my account on my store and clicked on "my apps". After that i looked for skype and clicked install and it said there was problems and it needed to fix it so i clicked okay and now its working fine. I hope this helped!
