Hi everyone -

Sorry if this post is in the wrong spot.

I'm trying to load a dmg for Skype 2.6.0.151 but get a fail to mount message with the helpful reason given "not recognised".

i've logged in and out and rebooted and redownloaded all to no avail. I'm running 10.4.

any tricks or tips? i've goggled but can't find any working solutions.

thanks maccas -

Try downloading it again?

yep, i've downloaded it 3 times - story's always the same. all from the skype site (don't know if there is anywhere else? maybe i'll look).

This is a longshot but have you run Disk Utility on your hard drive recently? If not, maybe just verify your disk - you can't repair the disk your computer has booted from - and make sure it's all OK.

It's most likely a corrupt image on the server - it does happen - but I have had this occur when I had a disk problem also.

There's a new skype beta which works fine - 2.7.0.49...thought of trying that instead?

did run my disk utility - but to no avail.

Can you video network on it? worth a shot...
Ta.

tried the skype beta version but it's the same deal.

no one at skype support has written back to me either... grrr....

seems to be a common enough problem with skype on macs but no one can seem to solve it!

thanks everyone.

What browser are you using to download it with Charla?

If you're using Safari - there are other possibilities, such as Firefox or Camino.

Suggest you try downloading or using another internet browser to get hold of Skype.

cheers clockwork - i downloaded using Firefox but i'll try safari too.

fingers crosses...

hi Charla,
Wondering if you fixed your Skype prob - I'm having similar issues. I'm running latest macbook.
