A sad reality of owning older Macs running old version of OS X is the steady ticking time bomb of obsolescence. For Mac owners still running OS X 10.5 Leopard or earlier versions of the Mac's operating system, there has been another casualty of time's passing -- the ability to use Skype. Users on Skype's began about being locked out of the service without warning this week. The issue was impacting users some users using OS X 10.7.5 Lion, as well as OS X 10.5 Leopard. We no longer support anything lower than OS X 10.6. Hi everyone, there seems to be a lot of confusion around this. First, let me assure you that no-one is locking you out from using Skype on OS X 10.6 - 10.8 and there is no need to upgrade to Mavericks or (the new OS X now in dev preview) Yosemite if you don't want to.
Skype recently did an update that will only offically support Mac OS X 10.9 (and later versions) from now on. However, there's a workaround we will be able to carry.
![Download skype for mac os x 10.6.8 Download skype for mac os x 10.6.8](/uploads/1/2/6/4/126487490/318759745.jpg)
All OS X 10.6 - 10.8 users can head over to and get version 6.15. This is a very solid release and you can still use all of the main features without any problems (i.e.
Group video, group chats, screen sharing etc). Note that you should 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 still encourage you to stay up to date, meaning upgrading to Mavericks and getting the latest Skype. Hope this clarifies things a bit. If you have problems updating, please let us know in this thread and I'll try to help you. -Rene For those people who are running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard through OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, you'll need to use Skype version 6.15 for compatibility. Those of you running 10.9 or testing 10.10 can use the newer Skype version 6.19.
Granted most Mac users won't notice the change, but for people working on older machines, upgrading may not be an option. Are you a Skype user who has been locked out of your account because you haven't updated your Mac?
Let us know in the replies if you'll be updating to continue being able to access the service.
A few months ago Skype has been release the new version 7.56(776) for Mac OS after issuing we got problem with some MacBook running on OS version lower then 10.9 we need to upgrading our MacOS X to 10.9 or above for installing the newest version of Skype 7.56(776), But some old generation of MacBook can’t upgrading to that version because new version of Mac OS X can’t support with some old generation of MacBook I think hardware capacity of old generation of MacBook is to small it is digital to run the latest of Mac OS X. So now I have an solution for fixing Skype problem on old generation of Mac OS X running on lower then 10.9, But it may not working on some function but at least we can use Skype for test chat on our MacBook below is the instruction. • Open the Applications folder • Right Click on Skype -> Show Package Contents -> Contents • Right Click on info.plist -> Open with -> Text Edit • Scroll down to find below script CFBundleversion CFBundleversion 6.15.0.335 Change the script to 7.36.0.507 • Save -> Close • Done In joy!! ? Note: If the string change above not working please try with the new string below: 8.12.0.14 Click to download Please watch the video below for instruction.

In June, Skype announced plans to retire old versions of its Windows and Mac clients “over the next few months,” and then expanded the move in July to “all platforms” along with another vague “in the near future” timeframe. What the company didn’t say, however, is that some old platforms require these old versions, meaning some Skype users are essentially being dropped. Many affected Skype users who were unable or unwilling to update to OS X Mavericks in order to get the latest Skype builds took to the to voice their complaints. In response, Microsoft has clarifying the situation.

The company states that the concerns over Skype support for older versions of OS X are based on a misunderstanding. The latest version of Skype (version 6.19) does indeed require OS X Mavericks, but certain older versions of the software for OS X Leopard through OS X Mountain Lion are still supported. In short, Microsoft says that it isn’t “retiring” every older version of Skype, and that the latest version supported on each of the aforementioned operating systems will still be able to work with the service. So, if you’re a Mac Skype user worried about versions and support, here are the correct versions (as of today) that you should grab: OS X Mavericks: OS X Mountain Lion: OS X Lion: OS X Snow Leopard: OS X Leopard: Note that the links above will automatically detect your current operating system and serve the appropriate installer. Therefore, if you need to download Skype for Snow Leopard, for example, make sure you do it while using a Mac running Snow Leopard.
