Upgrade support for users on 10.6 and above

Last updated April 23rd 2015
Hello Skype Community,
Those of you that have been using older versions of Skype for Mac until now have recently seen a prompt to upgrade Skype when trying to sign in. More information on why we are retiring older version here: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/07/16/update-skype-now-to-improve-your-experience/
There was some confusion on which Skype version is supported on which OS X version. TLDR:
Skype is available on OS X 10.6 - 10.10.
See below for which Skype version to use per OS X version your are on:
OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" & 10.10 "Yosemite"
Just use latest Skype version from www.skype.com/go/download
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard", 10.7 "Lion" & 10.8 "Mountain Lion"
Latest version is 6.15.x.335 from http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-mac/downloading/ 
This is a solid release and you can still use all of the main features (i.e. group video, group chats, screen sharing etc). NB: only use the link above, it serves you with a correct update for your OS version. Direct links (to DMG files) can work, but are not guaranteed to do so.
That said, we encourage you to stay up to date, meaning upgrading to the latest Mac OS X version available for your Mac and getting the latest Skype available for your system.
If you have problems updating, please let us know in this thread and the community will try to help you.

I'll be happy to get skype back on my very old secondary laptop that still must remain on 10.5.8 ... it cannot be updated, so at least I'll be able to get my skype back. In the future, I hope you'll make sure NOT to disable a previous version of skype until you've verified that the new downloaded version will install on that person's configuration. It should just say sorry, you can't update your version of skype, not disable your current working version and then say that.

    Help: I received a message from Skype that my Mac system (10.6. was using an outdated version of Skype and that I needed to upgrade to Skype version 6.15.0.335.  So I did so and whenever I have tried to open the new version of Skype it says I can't open the skype file since I am using an outdated version.  I have tried about 8 times now and keep getting the same outcome.  Help please.  Thanks?  ejpj

  • Multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms

    multi-language support for user-specified text strings used in the forms
    Instead of creating multiple forms, 1 in each different language, for the same service, is there any workaround?

    Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

  • IWeb protocol support for anything OTHER than http and https

    I am extremely disappointed in iWeb. It doesn't even seem to be able to do very simple things.
    All I want to do is to create HTML links to external pages with protocols other than "http" and "https" and it always prepends "http" to the beginning of the URL. This is really really really annoying.
    Apple I hope you are paying attention. iWeb is poorly designed. You are trying to anticipate what end users want...this is a development practice right from the Microsoft Windows Developer book. I sure how the next update to iWeb works properly. I'm so upset about all this...I can't publish podcasts to the web because of all the foolishness with how you handle that, and the confusing directory name issues.
    My podcast URL looks like this:
    http://itpc://www.mysite.com/podcast/News/rss.xml
    I tried (unsuccesfully) to manually create the podcast since the automated version created this:
    itpc://www.bradyconsult.com/podcast/podcast/News/rss.xml
    I'm sure I could fiddle with iWEb and get this to work, but why should I? I've already fiddled with it and simple changes to my site structure totally screw this up. Not to mention, that when it did work, it didn' t even post all my podcasts!!! It skipped the first one and the last one.
    And, for those wondering, i'm not technically clueless. I have a podcast working just fine on two other sites. The appeal to iLife with iWeb and the new podcast feature of GarageBand was to bring all this together in one easy to use, nice package. But it's not nice. Garageband's update is awesome! But iWeb and it's attempts to work with the other iApps is gruesome.
    I expect this garbage from Microsoft...not Apple.
    Can anyone recommend a workaround (and yes, I understand I can manually edit HTML...but I was hoping for a workaround within iWeb) to create html links with support for protocols (aside from http and https) ??
    It's bad enough I have to publish to a folder and then FTP to my site since apple makes that exceedingly difficult to do (I'm sure to increase .mac sales) but all this other foolishness is just bunk. I feel ripped off on my iLife '06 purchase.
    Grrrrrrr......

    I don't know if this helps you any, but in my humble
    opinion Drake is absolutely correct. iWeb really
    wasn't designed for the pro site builder; it's just
    an entry level site builder. Moreover, it isn't
    really geared for the professional world of internet
    marketing; I think it is really more for the home
    and family group who have at least one thing in
    common: Macs.
    I don't think it was even designed for them. I mean, you can't create an ftp: link, you can't manage multiple site files, there's no way to add "aim:" or "yahoo:" links, etc. It's not mac's they're supporting. It's .mac in particular, maybe, if that.
    The art is kinda nice, but really, the grief in trying to do simple things like a basic href is just absurd. I can do these things easily in Pages. iWeb should certainly be no more difficult.
    Btw, I'm here because I have the same problem - overly restrictive URL's on hyperlinks. I'll probably solve my with a trivial sed script. But even that's tough because they mangle the url. It's not easy to find an encoding suitable for automatic post processing.
    Automator anyone?

    Since we are all fellow users on here, not much we can offer in the way of a reliable answer...you might try letting Apple know your needs:

  • BDB support for Windows Vista, WIndows 7 and Windows Server?

    Hello,
    I examine to use BDB on Windows, and I have a question.
    There's a description about supported OSs on the BDB reference guide as follows;
    Where does Berkeley DB run?
    The Berkeley DB distribution includes support for Windows/95, Windows/98, Windows/NT, Windows/2000 and Windows/XP, via the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET development environments.
    Does BDB distribution supports for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003?
    And it will support Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7?
    I believe that BDB does not depend on specific function of Windows, thus there's no problem to support them...
    Regards,
    Akira

    Yes, we have a plan about BDB support for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server. Once we are ready, we'll let you know here.
    Hi Vit,
    For Berkeley DB XML questions, please go to the Berkeley DB XML forum at: Berkeley DB XML
    By the way, I learnt there's a XP-compatible mode in Windows 7. You may want to try DB-XML with that.
    Best regards,

  • Is AIX7.1 and MS Windows 2012 supported for JavaCAPS5.1.3 R4 and JavaCAPS 6.3?

    Does AIX 7.1 and MS-WIndows 2012(and cluster) supported for JavaCAPS5.1.3 R4 or JavaCAPS 6.3?

    John provides another possible workaround for your issues :
    http://www.metavero.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44:making-ie8-work-on-hyperion-11x&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50
    My situation is slightly different. We are upgrading to most recent version of Hyperion in 2012 and are not looking to apply service packs/updates to 9.3.1 in the mean time; however, we needed IE 8. We performed the javascript fixes and our users are able to perform their work just fine.
    I would also agree that XP mode is not that answer.
    Another option would be to install IETester as it lets you 'convert' your IE browser to be compatible with previous versions.... http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
    Finally, you could have users use Firefox browser as that seems to work; however, it does SOME things differently than IE so you might get some complaints about that.

  • Upgrade guide for users of older versions of Flash Media Server?

    I'm looking around to see if anyone has sort of done a crossover or upgrade guide for people with older FMS installations.
    We've been running the server since at least version 2, and haven't had to change much in upgrading to subsequent versions.
    In doing so, we hadn't had to change to some of Adobe's newer ways of doing things with regards to configuration files, etc.
    In setting up a test 4.5.x server, though... it appears we will likely want to really change the way we are doing things.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive site that would sort of cover topics in a "if you did this this way before, do it this way now" sort of instructions.
    Thanks

    we just moved from 3.5 to 4.03 and now the sound has 'hiccups' - looked thru forum and made some changes but still happening - be nice like you said if there was a 'your using this version, and this is what you need to do in the next' area

  • BlackBerry Enterprise Cloud Services - MS Exchange Online Plan 2 - Support for Legacy 7.1 Devices and Costs?

    Hello.
    All questions below relate to the MS Exchange Online Plan 2, and BlackBerry Enterprise Cloud Services (BBCS).
         -  How much does it cost to install the BBCS service?
         -  Is there support for legacy 7.1 BlackBerry devices?
    I have searched online for these answers but I've been unsuccessful answering these two questions. I'm aware that BBCS is available
    for the Exchange Online Plan 2 but I cannot confirm if there is a fee. Likewise, I've been unable to find out if legacy 7.1 OS BlackBerry devices are support on BBCS.
    Many thanks.

  • Question on Support for XML in Oracle 9i and XDK 9.0.1

    Hi All,
    I just went through the Oracle 9i's features for XML. I have been working with Oracle's XDK too. I noticed that there are some new packages in Oracle 9i like SYS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLGEN that produce a XML file when presented a query to it. This feature is there in the XDK (XML SQL Utility) too. So, my question is as follows:
    1. Are there any differences in the XML File produced by XDK and these database packages?
    2. What are the scenerios when I should go for these packages and when should I go for the XSQL Utility.
    Cos I found out that both are doing effectively the same things. Is there any difference between them? Please explain the second question.
    Thanks in advance,
    Rajat

    The sys_xmlagg and sys_xmlgen are native implementations of functionality tied into the database code line. They replicate some of the functionality that was previously provided in a 'plugin' form by the XDK. DBMS_XMLGEN is a PLSQL Package that also provides access to native implimentations of some of this functionalitu. You should find that as a result of being native implimentation they are much more performant.
    SYS_XMLGEN and SYS_XMLAGG allow XML to be generated directly from a SQL Query. DBMS_XMLGEN is designed for use in procedural processing and provides a finer grain of control over the generated output.
    There are still some features, such as DTD and Schema generation that are not (yet) available with the native implementation, and for this reason, and backwards compatability the XDK functionality is still available
    As a rules of thumb, if you can use the native implimentations do so, as performance should be much better.

  • Mds95xx device manager for os 5.2.8a and above

    Hi
    I am looking into Cisco site for Device manager download for os 5.2.8a or above.
    Someone can help me?
    Many thx
    Walter

    Hi Walter,
    There are two ways to get Device Manager.
    (1)Install DCNM and DM will also be installed.
    (2)Point your browser at the IP address of the switch and download it from there.  Then run the  "jxpiinstall.exe" file to install DM.  However, to install it from here, you must have Java 1.5 and 1.6 or you will just get a "Certificate Revoked" message.

  • Possible upgrade solution for people who have HD and problems in general.

    OK, for me, Leopard has been as painful as going osx from OS9, at least the upgrade has been , dunno about the retail copy., bugs, bugs, bugs with the upgrade for sure.
    Here is what happens generally., you upgrade and basically you need to run disk tools from a external drive or the Leopard DVD., the problems move on still.
    Solution i found was to back up to another drive, that is right guys, spend another hundred bucks no one warned you about., get a external HD or if your living it high and collect macs as Apple assumes you may just have a second Intel mac laying around with a Sata drive in it to start up in "Firewire Target Mode", (hold the "T" at start up)and start cloning your drive with SuperDuper (also need to purchase)..
    Ok
    1- once you clone your drive (usualy a hour for the base system alone).
    2- erase it as one partition,
    3- in the options make sure it is set as GUID partition (takes about a hour) and
    4- then as well zero out all the data., takes about 2 hours there as well.
    5- Now run disk utilities from the Leopard DVD or the computer or booted up drive you used to do all this., if you can not fix permission of th volume you seen to reformat the Drive again 7 pass!, could take 4 hours.
    Finally you will be able re clone it, and run disk tools after a days work no one warned you about.
    *This disk utilities operation may take about 1 hour but say 11, and look like this below;*

    *Good luck*
    *My ADVISE:* if you experienced these problems, as above, reformatting by zeroing out the data works. as for those who want Leopard. *DO NOT UPGRADE but install a RETAIL version of LEOPARD* until apple has a update,
    I read posts where people who have the retail copy (full DVD) have not experienced these problems, mine was a upgrade from Tiger since i got a mac in the last 30 days.
    WARNING: it has been hard to trust Apple fanatics with these things now days, many posts are denials to things not working so i could be wrong there as well, been honest saves time is all i can advise them.
    If anyone has beter advise please do post it.
