Skype not opening

• Skype not opening after having moved to the Applications folder

  Back a few months ago, I downloaded Skype on my computer. I was still pretty unfamiliar with the Mac at the time, so I was not very well what to do with the dmg that I got. Simply do not know better, I ended up launching Skype from the dmg. That's how I used Skype until very recently. A few months after this happened, I learned that you were supposed to copy the application in the Applications folder on the dmg. However I did not worth to fix this error until now (in order to remove this disk image of Skype sitting there). I deleted the Skype of the dmg icon on my dock and copied in the Applications folder. I then tried to run, but it crashed before it could do something. The main window of Skype did not appear.

  If it's worth anything, there is a very old version of Skype on this computer, the surplus of when a member of the family used a few years ago. However Skype on the dmg would be fine, so I doubt that this could be the culprit.

  I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on an iMac 27-inch Mid-2010.

  We always recommend to install the latest version of Skype... That said, try this: download the latest version by clicking on the link at the top of this forum page downloads. Then, open the Skype.dmg file you will find in your downloads folder. Drag and drop the Skype icon to the icon of the folder Applications in THIS WINDOW. This will install Skype. Subsequently, you will find Skype (the application) in the Applications folder on your hard drive, where you can start. Once it launches, click right (or click/hold) Skype in the Dock icon and select Options. Choose to keep Skype in the Dock, and it will fortunately still live there then.

• Skype does not open on my desk, producing no error report.

  I am at a loss. I've been able to use Skype without problem for years, but from last week, I noticed that Skype does not open on my desk.

  When I start it, there is no GUI that displays, but the notification area of the task bar Gets the green icon of hollow, but no application launched on my Dowes. When I move my mouse over the icon that appears in the Notification area, it just closes.
  I've confirmed that Skype does not open and that there some process related to Skype in the loading Task Manager, when I try to launch Skype, and there is no residual enforcement process, remaining open Skype when the icon disappears.

  I have reviewed the windows event viewer and there is no error in production log.

  I uninstalled Skype and reinstalled 6.18 which is the latest version, and it remains the same, cannot start.

  I did the search for an old version of Skype to use, and they are the same.

  I haven't installed any new programs in addition to update my graphics driver on the last 340.43 earlier this week, but had the problem before this update. I also rolled back my graphics driver to check which was not the issue, and the problem remains.

  I use Windows 7 on an i7 with 8g ram and a 660GTX. the same I have now used for 12 months without problem.

  I ran it again on all of my steps.
  Uninstalled Skype 6.18 once again.

  Delete the folder %appdata%\skype tried previously.

  Delete the file %temp%\skype as prefiously tried.

  Restarted my PC.

  Retelecharge 6.18 and installed, same problems.

  I then repeated that the above steps once again, however, downloaded 6.14, a version that I had not already tried today.

  http://download.Skype.com/MSI/SkypeSetup_6.14.0.104.msi

  It appears to allow me to connect, and then it crashed.

  I then loaded back into it again and it came without a problem... This time.

  I'm now able to maintain a stable application with installed 6.14.

  Hope this helps others.

  How is it possible that I had a Skype account? I did not open a.

  Hello Samanthametallia,

  If your Windows Live (Outlook.com) account has been hacked, then I suggest you follow the procedure described in the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/outlook/hacked-account

  A hacker is enough clever delete all history available so that you won't be able to know what information has been sent via Skype, I'm afraid.

• Why Windows 8 (like Skype) applications open in full screen?

  I wish that applications Windows 8 is displayed in a window on computer laptop or desktop PC so that they can be freely resized and placed. "TechnoMage" said it can be done http://www.forumswindows8.com/general-discussion/how-make-apps-not-open-full-screen-7435.htm but I have not found how to for the Windows 8 Skype application.

  Thanks for your ideas, Pierre KOHLER

  Hello!!!

  1. Windows 8 comes up with a different interface two one is the version of classic office who use us for most & second start screen (Interface Metro) version
  2. If you want to use Skype (freely resized version) you can use Skype client for desktop computer rather than use the splash screen that is displayed full screen with no options Minimize & Close.
  3. Applications of screen Windows 8 start cannot be reduced to a minimum, as we do on desktop

• Apps does not / not opening not store

  I upgraded from 8 to 8.1. Since then, I can't open some of my applications. I can't access my e-mail and I can't open Skype. I have uninstalles Skype but impossible to re-install now that he continues to send me to the app store, which does not open also. Should I restore windows 8 and 8.1 to uninstall?

  Hi Rob,

  It could have happened because of the cache store.

  I suggest you to clear the cache to store and check.

  Follow these steps to do so.

  (a) on the screen, press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

  (b) type WSReset.exe and press enter.

  I also suggest you to download and run the troubleshooter modern UI App from the following link. He could tell us the reason behind the issue and fix accordingly.

• Final Cut Pro 10.2.3 does not open a library more!

  Hey! I could really use to understand this, a total mystery for help:

  This morning, I tried to open a library of Final Cut is saved on my hard drive. Last night, I worked with the library, but now it just opens up.

  It gives an error: Final Cut close unexpectedly

  It's just one that does not open it opens other libraries.

  Also, I tried to open it on another computer, but here it opens either.

  I tried Trashing FCP to the preferences Manager, made a first aid attendant, but it seems that the problem is in THE LIBRARY not in the program.

  In addition, NONE of the backups open.

  Any ideas? ;)

  Thank you!!

  Try to open the library of most recent backup.

  By default, they are stored in Final Cut backups in the folder sequences.

• 7 do not open some Keynote keynote files

  Since the update of the keynote 7.0 (macOS 10.12 Sierra) about a third of my keynote files that worked with the Keynote prior version 5.3 and macOS 10.11.6 El Capitan) refuse to open. I get the suggestion to find a previous version of the file and try to open that one, but who doesn't either. Some files open with reliability and some files sometimes open some files never open. The problem is also present on another MacBook, I tested.

  I hasten to add as the Special Keynote files that cannot be opened with keynote 7.0 on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) will not open with Keynote 5.3, either. They were last used and modified under Keynote 5.3 under macOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan) without problem. I was not able to verify these Keynote on Mac turns files always under macOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan), yet, but I have to assume that it is a macOS 10.12 (Sierra) problem.

• Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.

  Why the iPhone 6plus will not open photos app on mac pro for IOS 10 update.
  A message appears on the iphone asks you to trust the computer it is attached (mac pro 10.10.5)

  You type 'Confidence' and nothing happens. the photos on mac app publishes this message.

  This Mac not yet have been granted access to the media on 'my iPhone '. To import media to this Mac, press 'Trust' on 'my iPhone '. You must first unlock the device.

  This actually solved for me after going to settings, General, reset, reset the location and privacy... and then plug in the unit and pressing the trust... hope that works for others.
