First:

Hi please click on your apple icon top left, click on "Force Quit", then Force Quite Skype if it's in the List.

Second:

Open Your Macintosh HD, usually top right, and go to your Applications folder, find and open your "Utilities" folder, now open "Activity Monitor", now you'll see a list of items, scroll through the list, if Skype is in the list, select it then in the top left of the box click on the "Force Quit" button.

Try Skype again, if this doesn't work try option 3

Third:

Download AppCleaner open it and then at the same time open your Applications folder where place your pointer over the Skype icon, and drag onto AppCleaner, once the delete button is active, click delete. This will delete all Skype files from your system.

Now go to Download Skype for Desktop and click the "Get Skype For Mac" button, install this new version of Skype and your done.

Happy Skype-ing, I hope this fixes your problem :-)

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. This is a known issue with the latest version of Skype. The latest version of Skype won't run on Mac pc so you need to download the older version of skype. Please uninstall the Skype program on on you Mac and download the older version on the link below.

You cannot open the application Skype because it is not supported on this architecture is an error caused by Skype and not by the webcam.

Wont let me sign into skype disk 1/0 error

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Skype. If there is still and issue after that try the following. If you are still having an issue then contact Skype Support directly. They are pretty good at responding.


1) Quit Skype by right-clicking on the system tray icon

2) open the Windows 'Run' dialog by holding the Windows key down and pressing the 'R' key on your keyboard

3) Enter %appdata%\skype and press the Enter key

4) Windows Explorer should open and you should be able to locate the folder name that corresponds to the problem Skype Name

5) delete that folder (& subfolders)

6) restart Skype and sign in that Skype Name again


All CHAT HISTORY and custom Skype client settings (if any) for this user will be deleted when you do this (it should be easy to reconfigure any custom settings later), but this user's Contact List will NOT be lost as it is backed up on Skype servers and it will be restored automatically


if you are concerned that this remedy will NOT work, and that you're going to lose stuff in the process, you can MOVE the folder (& subfolders) mentioned in step #4 somewhere else on your PC for safekeeping -- that way you can move it back if the above procedure does not fix your issue -- but don't forget to shutdown Skype again and remove what Skype has newly-created BEFORE moving the 'backup' folders to their original location

Miele W 1712 is giving a waterproof fault. I tried to switch the machine of and on but the alarm is still going - I am also not able to open the door. Regards Peter

I just received this error message on my Miele W 1712 (Waterproof Fault). Prior to this I had an error message regarding the Drain outlet, so I opened the drain outlet and cleaned it. I think I might have opened it too quickly and therefore creating the (Waterproof Fault). The problem is that when you open the drain outlet too quickly the water runs into the bottom of the washing machine where some sensor lies and you get the (Waterproof Fault) error message on the display and not even turning off the machine will do anything to get rid of this annoying message.
1. Turn off the machine
2. Unplug it
3. Open the drain outlet and take out the plug.
4. Dry all the visible water with a cotton cloth.
5. Tilt the machine FORWARD and hold it until you see water gushing from underneath the machine.
6. Repeat this until you see no more water.
7. Plug the machine back inn.
8 VOILA no error message! I hope in your case :)
