Your contacts are stored on the Skype servers. It might be easiest to just do a fresh install of Skype on your new computer and NOT move over the preference files. Your contacts will be downloaded automatically when you sign into Skpe.


I did not know this. thanks.

where are my passwords stored? are they in one of the files Niel mentioned, or are they in the Key Chain? It would be nice to take those with me.

Applications > Utilties > Keychain Access

You can reveal the password on any entry by entering the administrator password when prompted. Let us know how you get on!


Yep I did know that, thanks. I have an other post here:

as I am unable to use the export function and like to transfer the files to my new Mac.
