Trouble downloading Skype
I am trying to download the latest version of Skype for the Mac. I have been using the beta version but last week tried to update to version 2.0.0.2 but when I download it (or the older version 1.5) all I get is a dmg file. There is no application associated with it that I can drag into Finder as I did when I downloaded the version that worked. Any clues?
Hi gingersmudge
Unless I'm misreading you, you haven't opened the dmg file. Perhaps you've set your browser not to automatically open downloaded files as a security measure.
You should be able to double click it & it will then open as a disk. If not, check that you have Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.

indicated conflict of the latest Skype 7.0 version with BIOS on particular motherboard models (mainly Gigabyte).
It seems that Skype has identified the issue and a fix is promised in one of the upcoming Skype versions.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-has-stopped-working/m-p/38150...
Meanwhile, the working solution is to uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

I have had Skype on my iPad for ages. Recently the latest update refused to download.
The error message - "There was a problem downloading 'Skype' for iPad. An unknown error (499)".
Suggestion was to check internet connection, which was fine.
I had the same prob on my iPhone (5), but eventually got it installed again by deleting it in iTunes/Apps, and re-installing. This didn't work for the iPad

My wife and I share the same Mac OS 10.6.8 and since downloading Skype on her accout she came not asty connected to any web site for more than a few seconds. I have remove Skype from her account but not mine. I don't have the problem on my accout and I still have Skype loaded. How can I fix this problem?
O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons). -

I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?
I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?
There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

I am trying to download Skype to my ipod (my friend gave me his old ipod touch, which is about 1-2 years old, according to the year 2014) And when I tried to install it, it said that I have to agree to the terms of use. So I go onto my computer and review the terms of use there on my email. I could NOT find the "agree" button. Please, can someone help me?
The button would be on your iPod version of Skype, not the computer version. They are not the same.
