I have the same exact pet peeves you listed above. There is no contact or real-time chat you can contact them. They only want to communicate thru’ email. However, response time is extremely tedious. It will take them a few days to get back to you. It’s really agonizing to use skype. I recently bought a dopod c730. Skype software doesn’t support it. It shut down skype when I launch the voice or trying to make a call.

Wow Chris, that is being fussy lol. But, then again, I am more concerned on how many programs or mouse movements that I make while I am chatting on Skype, any one of those causes the call to stutter. So, Skype is also a performance hog, or my Mac is really slow. I’d say the latter.

Is the latest beta significantly better?

I have found SightSpeed to be a solid alternative to Skype for most of my wife’s needs. I still use Skype at times.

“I’m starting to understand the frustration Mac users have had all these years, and I’m about to become a LOT more vocal about it.”

Excellent! Thank you.

Can we stay that apple isn’t great for the internet? Pretty much all the big software companies aren’t friendly to apple when it comes to software. Why do a lot of computer labs have windows? because its easy? cheap? or its because there is more of them and people known how to use them in general.

Hi Chris!
Can you be a bit more specific in regards to points 5 & 7? What things about the Windows client do you miss/want? And what do you mean about the menu bar icon? You want it to stay there when you quit Skype?

Cheers,
Ryan.

I have recently downloaded the latest version of skype for mac and am finding it conflicting with safari. can you give me some advice?

thanks rachel

I have a MacBook Pro and having trouble with the isight video camera. Been calling family via skype. They have a video camera and so do I. They can see me but I can’t see them. Apparently ichat is taking over and won’t allow for skype video to do it’s work. What can I do? I don’t have ichat on so don’t understand why skype won’t allow me to see the person I am calling on video. Thank you for your help.

I’ve had tons of problems with the latest version of Skype for Mac as well. The application constantly crashes. It could be during the middle of a call, or after a call has ended, or if the connection had been lost, etc. Also, most of the times when my contacts are online, they do not appear to be. The only way I can be for sure is to call them. If I call them and they are online, Skype will realize this and mark them online. It’s very annoying though to not know if someone is online at-a-glance. Hopefully they fix all of these issues soon.

I recently uploaded Skype to my i-Mac and used it for the first time. It was great. But from the exact moment I started it (and for the past 2 days) I get no e-mails coming in on my Mac Mail application … the only way to see them is via AOL on the web. (I’ve re-booted and tried everything I know) Any thoughts on this problem?
Thanks

the problem is that we can not receive picture from the web cam while skyping with an excisting skype contact.they can see us but we cant see them.i have checked all the web cam settings and everything should be working but its not.

Look at the Linux version, it’s way, way worse than that.
