OS X 10.6.8 and Skype says I need 10.9.
Do I have to upgrade the O/S?
Suggestions?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Skype has changed around the end of November 2017 (worked for me on 29th, not on 30th) - I got the message that I need to upgrade the OS (which won't work for my 32-bit iMac...). Apfelmuseins' answer from July 12th should now read (note the only difference from that is the CFBundleVersion needs to be 8.11.0.4 rather than 7.36.0.507)
try this with skype 6.15 & os 10.6.8:
</array>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>6.15.0.335</string>
Replace with:
</array>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>8.11.0.4</string>
6. Then go to File and click on Save, or press Command+S
7. Re-open Skype
Then Skype worked for me.
Upgrading is FREE (its not windows!)
I have never had any problems on EL Capitan and it includes the new versions of safari (old and outdated browsers can't load modern web pages very good)
*The update in the app store just search it.
also do a back up just in case.
🙂
Thank you so much Roger,
Sincerely yours

Hi Apfelmuseins!
With Skype 6.15 and MacOS 10.6.8: it works!
THANKS for this great fix!
It works not properly, only text chat available.... No voice/video calls...
in my case, i can make video calls.
are you shure using skype 6.15 & os 10.6.8?
Yes, i'm absolutely sure, i've just downloaded version 6.15.0.334 and try to run skype on my Macbook Pro 2010 with 10.6.8. Skype is online, but only text messages are available.
@RomkaV Note that 6.15.0.335 is the latest 6.15 version. Not sure if that makes a difference.
And a BIG thank you to Apfelmuseins...At least I got it started. I have yet to test the video, etc. but am hopeful.
It is amazing and it really WORKS!! Thank you so much (sound works, video not tested yet)...
I'm not getting to save the changes - any ideas where I might be going wrong?
Works like a charm! Thx!
Tried it but got a message that it is a read only file and cannot be saved??? Now what?
I tried Apfelmuseins's suggestion and AFTER REBOOTING it worked out. Thanks for the tip, Apfel, but add restart ! :-)
Simple, fast and effective. Thank you so much!
Works. You rock.
How to Skype with OS X 10.6.8?
