Skype

Avatar Drew McFarlane
I recently purchased a MacBook Air for my wife.

I have two Skype accounts.

I am unable to download Skype on the Macbook Air. When I enter my or my wife's Skype name it completely blocks the download.

I would appreciate help on this matter please, i.e. how do I download Skype onto a computer using an existing Skype username.

Try doing a completely fresh download and then enter the relevant user name afterwards.

Hi Lionel, thank you for replying,

When I try to download Skype from the Skype Website, I am offered 2 options, either to “sign in” or create a “new account”.

I am blocked from singing in by a form that pops up asking me to create an account. When I attempt to complete the form I am again blocked because my user name already exists. For the same reason I am unable to create an account, again I am blocked because I already have an existing username.

I had the problem just last week. Luckily there is more than one way to get to the download

Try this link.

Then click on 'Download Skype'

Since Microsoft now owns Skype, it makes you think if they are intentionally making it hard for Mac users!
