I just followed the online instructions on the Skype website to download the classic version of Skype for Mac. I want to install it, but when I double-click on the dmg icon, I see a folder window with a Skype icon, and an application folder icon (see screenshot below). Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It's free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers. Now it also supports video conferencing over the net.

Now let’s discuss, why do? GPT disks can grow to a very large size. Diskpart convert raw. What is the advantage of GPT disk? Break the 2TB limit of MBR disk. GPT disks allow an almost unlimited number of partitions.

In June, Skype announced plans to retire old versions of its Windows and Mac clients “over the next few months,” and then expanded the move in July to “all platforms” along with another vague “in the near future” timeframe. What the company didn’t say, however, is that some old platforms require these old versions, meaning some Skype users are essentially being dropped. Many affected Skype users who were unable or unwilling to update to OS X Mavericks in order to get the latest Skype builds took to the to voice their complaints. In response, Microsoft has clarifying the situation. The company states that the concerns over Skype support for older versions of OS X are based on a misunderstanding. The latest version of Skype (version 6.19) does indeed require OS X Mavericks, but certain older versions of the software for OS X Leopard through OS X Mountain Lion are still supported.

In short, Microsoft says that it isn’t “retiring” every older version of Skype, and that the latest version supported on each of the aforementioned operating systems will still be able to work with the service. So, if you’re a Mac Skype user worried about versions and support, here are the correct versions (as of today) that you should grab: OS X Mavericks: OS X Mountain Lion: OS X Lion: OS X Snow Leopard: OS X Leopard: Note that the links above will automatically detect your current operating system and serve the appropriate installer.

Therefore, if you need to download Skype for Snow Leopard, for example, make sure you do it while using a Mac running Snow Leopard.
