Skype on mac

Whenever I connect Skype disappears and I have to go to downloads to bring it back, how can I keep it saved

From your description, it seems likely that you have downloaded Skype, but have not installed. The process is not automatic. Solution: Open the Skype.dmg file you will find in your downloads folder, then drag and drop the Skype icon to the Applications to THIS WINDOW folder icon to install. Later, you will find Skype in the Applications folder on your hard drive, and all should be well.

    Here is a list of the problems after the upgrade to 6.9 Skype on my Mac (running on OS X 10.8.5), 8 GB of RAM, Seagate Mementus XT hybrid hard drive. Front of performaing the troubleshooting steps I completely check through various utilities / diagnosis all existing software (files, permissions, ACL, Cache, corrupted files structure) and the material aspects of the Mac (RAM, hard drive, logical card). They are all in perfect condition.

    1 Skpye uses too much CPU resource (can swing on a normal audio chat from 55% to 102%). This causes the mac to hang it.

    -J' tried many measures to solve them, delete all the files nd a new reinstall but same result.

    2. Since the upgrade to the new version:

    -The refresh rate of screen for the main window of Skype went crazy mad. Its take 2-3 seconds to refresh, if I pass any application to the Skype window.

    3. its seems to be a lot heavier just to load and use than the previous version

    You might want to try 6.9 Skype for MAC OSX version released 701 yesterday (compared to the generation of older 6.9) to see if anything changes.

    Skype for MAC OS x 6.9 (701):

  • Skype on Mac OS Sierra each too much memory

    Hello

    I made a bad decision to install Sierra (previously it was El Capitan). The entire system had lower performance (negative) but I know that I have to live with it. However, I have a serious question for Skype running. After starting up it will start taking memory and in a few minutes, she reached beyond 2 GB. I contacted support Skype and their representative available to my system remotely and checked that all found but childless.

    Is there someone who has the same problem and what is the remedy?

    Finally and above all, a special thanks goes to Apple for making our machines just slow and in return give us a couple of unnecessary functions.

    Thank you

    I don't have this problem - however I have issues _using_ Skype: I cannot click on links or open images...

  • What is obvious: Interface of Skype on Mac sucks

    I came here for almost the same reasons to see if I could fix my problems of interface of Skype, but I see now everyone has the same problems. I was going to ask how I could increase the width of the columns so that when I reduce the size of the window, which is far too much now, I am able to see more than 3 or 4 letters of my contact. I couldn't give a * beep * on the star and the column labels, and wish I could delete them or move them to the right out of sight.

    I'm a UX Designer and interface for more than 25 years, I must say that it is one of the worst performances of what I've seen in a while, not the worst, there is a lot of competition.

    The single window concept is a complete failure. They have removed or hindered a number of useful features. Skype seems to have the idea that the window should dominate the screen.

    I loved when I could have a narrow window to the right of my screen, see coming and going of people and pop a note their. Now I have to hide the window while I'm working, I'm bored people come and in response to a letter by me. Skype used to be the greater part of my daily activity now it decreases gradually.

    Well, wait for some competition and leave them.

    You can see just the contacts and their status with version 5. Simply select Window\Contacts monitor (CMD + 3).
    It's stupid because you don't like it and I think you will find that the following versions will give options to organize things more as you wish.
    Can't please everyone all of the time! ;-)

  • Which is simply the latest version of Skype for mac?

    I continue to receive messages on a new version of Skype, or my Skype keeps eager to update but the habit... The version I currently have is version 6.19 (422). It is the most recent? Because he never actually tells you which version of Skype you are downloading/updating the site...

    6.19.442 is indeed the last public version.
