I have just restored my ipad to factory settings. I have downloaded Skype, but it is the most recent version and I don't like it.
would like to download version 5.3.59.1093, which is what I have on my imac.
But when I went to a website and tried to download it, it said that it was not able to download it with Safari.
Please can anyone help?

You can only download apps from the App Store, you can't download programs via Safari (PC and Mac programs aren't compatible with the iPad). If you don't have a previous version of the app somewhere (e.g. on your computer or on a backup) then you will only be able to use the current version from the store.
Thank you for your swift and helpful respnose, King_Penguin.
I do have the older version on my iMac, but don't know how to put it on my ipad.
If you have the older version from the app store and it's in your computer's iTunes library (if it's not then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library), then you will need to delete the current version from your iPad and then connect the iPad to your computer and sync that older to it (syncing apps). You will need to remember not to 'update all' via the Updates tab in the App Store app, otherwise it will get over written with the current store version.
Thanks K_P. I'll try that right away!
Fell at the first hurdle. Which programme should I be in when I open file? I tried it with Skype and with Finder, but neither have add to library as an option.
OK, getting there slowly!
Done it, many thanks!
I want older version I had with skype
Do you still have a copy of it somewhere (not on a device that's on iOS 9+) ? If you do you can delete the current version of the app from your iPad and sync that version to it instead
where can I download an older version of Skype for iPad
