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.

See section A. Skype in info below.

Normal 0 Web Camera’s have to be setup on the program they are to be used with. Just installing the camera on your computer does not set it up to broadcast on messengers or Skype.

After downloading and installing Skype set it up as follows:

  1. Go to TOOLS, then OPTIONS, and click on Audio Settings and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  2. Then click on the Video Settings.
  3. The camera if installed properly will come up and show a picture.
  4. Then on the bottom of the page click on Save.

The camera and audio should function properly. Your friends and Family will now see and talk to you.

B. Yahoo Setup:

After downloading and installing Yahoo Messenger set it up as follows:

  1. Go to Messenger at the top left and click on it.
  2. Next go down to Preferences and click on it.
  3. Next Calling and Devices on the right and set the Microphone and Speakers to the computer Audio Card.
  4. Next go to the Test Audio section and (in blue writing) click on “Open the call setup assistant” and follow the instructions on the left window.

C. Windows Live Messenger:

  1. After you start Windows Live Messenger, expand the view by clicking on the square on top left next to the red X.
  2. Then on the Windows Live messenger window on the right side, click on “ “Show Menus.” And then click on “Show the Menu Bar”.
  3. Next go to the Menu Bar on right side, click on “ “Action.”
  4. Go to “TOOLS” and click “Audio and Video Setting” and follow the instructions.

When done both the Audio and Video will function properly so you can chat and see family or friends you are connected to.
Hope this helps. Bud

Can't open Skype error 1712

First:

Hi please click on your apple icon top left, click on "Force Quit", then Force Quite Skype if it's in the List.

Second:

Open Your Macintosh HD, usually top right, and go to your Applications folder, find and open your "Utilities" folder, now open "Activity Monitor", now you'll see a list of items, scroll through the list, if Skype is in the list, select it then in the top left of the box click on the "Force Quit" button.

Try Skype again, if this doesn't work try option 3

Third:

Download AppCleaner open it and then at the same time open your Applications folder where place your pointer over the Skype icon, and drag onto AppCleaner, once the delete button is active, click delete. This will delete all Skype files from your system.

Now go to Download Skype for Desktop and click the "Get Skype For Mac" button, install this new version of Skype and your done.

Download skype ibook g4

It could be that the new version of skype is not compatible with the older ibook, what you can do is go to http://www.oldapps.com/mac/skype.php and download one which is compatible with the system you are currently using. It may be a case though that skype will require the newer version to work properly though. Hope this helps.

Why my skype cant see my writing in mac

Have you tried trashing the version you have & re downloading the most recent version from the Skype website?
If this is the only application that's giving you this kind of trouble, its most likely the app.
Locate Skype in the Applications folder, drag it to the trash & empty the trash. You can download the latest Skype version here:

(don't forget to restart your mac) ;)

I have video but no sound using SKYPE.

Hi there,

It sounds like you're asking whether headphones are necessary to the Skype experience.

You don't absolutely *need* headphones (or a microphone or a headset that has both), but if you don't use headphones, then your Mac external microphone might pick up the sound of your conversation and you might get unpleasant levels of feedback.

If this doesn't answer your question, please write back with the following information:

1. Your Skype version (click Skype --> About Skype)
2. Your model of Mac
3. Whether you are having problems with your audio
- On Skype only?
- On other applications?
- In general?
4. Whether you have tried clicking on "Skype Test Call"
- Whether you could hear the voice giving you instructions

Thanks!
