Hi, I just switched on my Macbook Pro and started the Skype client. It opens, but as soon as I click on a chat, the app hangs and I have to force quit it. I even tried downloading the latest 7.9.746 from the Skype website again. Anyone faced the same? Whats the fix? 100% FREE Skype recorder for both audio and video calls, save Skype voicemails/video messages in local files. TalkHelper is compatible with ALL Skype versions from v6.16 to v7.0 on Windows. I think IPEVO free.1 usb skype phone is a great product. It makes skype calls much more comfortable for a very good price (30 usd + s&h). It's very compact too. It's usb cord is 2.30 m long (7'6'). Works great both on my Toshiba Satellite L45 running Vista and my iBook G4 running OS X 10.4.
Your Mac has a Power PC processor not an Intel CPU.

Earlier this week, concerns emerged on Skype official message boards about the Skype Mac app no longer functioning on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard (an operating system that launched the same year as the original iPhone), and a Skype representative on the forums apparently confirmed that Skype will no longer be supported on Macs running operating systems below OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
While Skype has not been downloadable nor functional for Leopard users the past few days, a Skype spokesperson tells us this morning that this will soon change: “We have a Skype version for Mac OS X 10.5 users which will soon be available for download.” No additional timing details are available as of yet, but it’s good to know that Leopard users will soon be able to go back to making Skype calls and sending messages as normal.
We’re also told that this new download will be for Leopard users only, so anyone on OS X 10.4 Tiger or below will need to upgrade to Leopard or something newer (like Mavericks) in order to keep on using the Microsoft-owned communications tool.
