How to download older version of skype

Thanks for your feedback. I have a iPad iOS 9. As a consequence, I can't download the older version of iTunes that supports the app Skype for iPhone. I also tried downloading Skype for iPhone directly but couldn't because it required an iOS of 10 or higher and didn't give me the option of downloading the previous version that was compatible with my iPad.

Are there any other workarounds I can try? You need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC computer. Skype for iPhone needs to be downloaded in iTunes on PC as shown on the screenshot. Then, if Skype for iPhone is opened on iPad via link provided, AppStore will offer to install an older version.

Thanks it's works but first i had to sign in on all my accounts with skype 7. Then i could run my accouts with skype 6. Now i can normally use skype for chat and call with old layout that i like but without option sign in and sign out i can't do a lot things i did before.

Before everyday i deleted folder with my skype accout and refresh it. When someone was online they shared details with me, time zone and number of contacts so i was sure that they was online. And when my skype account was refresh i was clicking on all my skype contacts one by one, if i saw that there was country, age, gender or skype name not skype id then i knew that these contacts was online in last 24 hours.

Now this is not possible because on skype 7. To use skype 6. And it means that folder with my skype name was creatd by new skype and all my contacts will have gender, country and age all the time. I can't refresh it with old version skype. If on skype portable i can sign in and sign out without any problem and refresh my skype account it would help a lot. Run "cmd. I didn't try it yet. I have 2 laptops, on older laptop i was experiment how to run multiple old skype versions and it works.

On new laptop i still use skype 7. If i understand good, this script create only skype portable. I was try it on pendrive and i exctract skype 6. It looks a bit complicated. At this moment on skype 7. But on skype 7. If this is possible i would like have at this moment skype 7.

I will try edit this script later but i didn't run skype portable 6. And about this edited script if this edited script help old older skype create new folder with my skype name it's good but i can't log in even for a second with this created account by new skype because it will ruin everything. I will try create skype 6. Everyone send me a lot messages, pics and video messages and this account is very heavy now.

Skype sign in sometimes even few min. I was try refresh it but skype not update all contacts from server, it's always stops on contacts. I try 10 times then i try wait longer, i was waiting 1 month and was online everyday but it never update the rest contacts.

I don't know what to do with it. I had normal skype 7. I wanted refresh it only one time and leave so i thought i must delete this script and download fresh script and i did it. I thought that appdata with normal skype will be untouchable. And now i have mess, all history and chat was gone. I didn't wanted refresh all my skype accounts. I do it everyday but only with one account that i use very often. The rest i refresh only when they are too heavy and i wanted have choice which one refresh.

But this script is very good thing. I don't know what to do now. As I wrote this script creates a portable version that keeps the profile data in the same folder, and each profile shortcut keeps data in the same subfolder regardless of the specified version furthermore only this allow you to run old versions.

Of course, it works not only on pendrives. End If. Yesterday when i log in on normal skype 7. No profile photo, zero profile information, no contacts, no recent messages, nothing. Maybe it happend because i used this script on my system drive in diffrent folder because on pendrive it works much slower.

I close all skype, edit this script. Just didn't know if at the end it must be "End If " one or two times, i write "End if" two times. It refresh my skype portable good. Then i log in two accouts and it was totally empty, after 20 minutes it's stil empty, nothing update from server. Sorry, but I have some bad news for you — you have incorrectly modified the script and it removes all.

Sorry my mistake, now it' works very good. This script is amazing. Normally when i always did it before, it was not clear history from last month and for refresh account with 40 contacts i was wait min. Now i waiting hours. When i always refresh account before i just deleted folder with my skype name and log in and skype updated everything what should update withouth modyfication and it was enough. Maybe this occurs because script removes only.

DB files. This is why instead of deleting. DB files, you should try this one: 1 Copy config. Thank you a lot, this works perfect. When On skype 6. I don't know how this portable works if two or more versions skype can use the same appdata folder name and some things change and some not change when i use both skype version. I mean two things: a If i create folder name in appdata by skype portable 7.

But if i create folder name in appdata by skype portable 6. If i would do the same by normal skype, not this portable, then skype 7.

But it's good that it works that way and i see profile information only contacts who was online the last time on both skype versions if i create appdata folder by skype portable 6. But both skype versions use the same config. Windows 10 64 bit.
