I have the Digipower HFBlue-H1 It works GREAT but only for about 20 minutes.. I am using it for Skype with my Mac Laptop.. After about 20 minutes, it beeps once, and then disconnects from the mac.. I charged the batter for a long time.. I CAN also reconnect it and it keeps going so I don't think it's the battery.. Any clues on this??

Step 1:
Although not all software works on a Macintosh computer, Skype has a Mac version of their telephony software that contains all of the features of their Windows based program.

Identification b> As of 2009, Skype has a version (v. 2.8) of their Voice over IP (VoIP) software for the MacIntosh, according to the Skype Mac OSX download page. Features Skype for the Mac OS allows free calls to other Skype users, free instant messaging and free video calls. In addition, Skype offers voicemail, call forwarding and calls to cellphones and land-lines for a subscription fee. Requirements Skype for Mac requires at least Mac OS X version 10.3.9, an 800 megahertz G4 or Intel processor, 512 megabytes of RAM, 100 megabytes of hard-drive space, a microphone and an Internet connection that can get minimum speeds of 384 kilobits per second. Plans Skype for the Mac offers unlimited calls to the US and Canada for $2.95 a month, unlimited to any specific country for $5.95 a month or $12.95 a month for unlimited, global calling. Also, users can simply pay for each minute used. Prices depend on the destination country. Tips Mac users who sign up for at least 12 months at a time get 15 percent off of their total bill, as of 2009. http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-mac/ See how little it costs to call & text phones

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. This is a known issue with the latest version of Skype. The latest version of Skype won't run on Mac pc so you need to download the older version of skype. Please uninstall the Skype program on on you Mac and download the older version on the link below.

You cannot open the application Skype because it is not supported on this architecture is an error caused by Skype and not by the webcam.

If you have questions please let me know. Thanks for using Fixya

You can download Skype from this WEB site.

Ok, by the sound of it both yourself and whoever you're calling have not set up Skype quite right.
On your end, you need to:

• Make sure you have a working microphone - try using Skype's built in 'Echo' feature (try calling 'echo123')
• In Skype -> Preferences -> Audio, make sure that microphone is selected.

On their end, make sure they've done the same - they must have a working microphone, correctly setup with Skype in order to send you sound.
Hope that helped!

You have to sign out, and disable that option at Skype / Preferences / General. If you also don't want to have Skype automatically starting when you start your Mac then go to System Preferences/accounts/Login items, then delete Skype from the login items.

You need to select the correct camera from the menu options of Skype: enter the Tools-menu and select Options; select Video from the categories on the left hand side; check  Enable Skype Video and select your camera from the dropdown at the top.

There are many messengers one can use on mac,and I am not clear which one you are referring to. I am therefore providing many answers about many ways you can message and videoconference on mac. msn messenger does not have video conferencing for macs.( I also searched for some time to discover this!) You can get msn messenger for mac (the download) but it does not include video chatting!! I am sure of this. There is also a download for Yahoo messenger for mac which includes videoconferencing http://messenger.yahoo.com/mac/, However, Skype is great for mac videoconferencing. (My favorite). Gmail also has something to download for videoconferencing also. http://www.google.com/chat/video. There is also Ichat for macs http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iChat/4.0/en/15610.html and this is the page with info about setting it up, and AIM. And here is a tutorial for ichat and AIM video conferencing: http://www.mvldesign.com/video_conference_tutorial.html. ...... However.... I personally love Skype. Download it at Skype.com, create user name and password and then invite contacts. To activate the cam go to Skype preferences on the top of the screen, choose video and check off Enable Skype video to see your friends and also check off Start Automatically if you want them to to see you (or you can click the icon for the video after you are on a call with them for them to see you only if you want to be seen on that one call!). If you find this answers your question I would so much appreciate a positive vote!

It is heat related. This is computer trying to make sure that no damage is done to it. Take it to a mac repair centre to get it checked out

you need to download 4.0 skype and uprgade it

Try Skype - Preferences - Audio - Audio input and you should be able to select "boynq iris webcam".
Check out also the System Preferences - Sound - Input and you should also see "boynq iris webcam".
