Growl doesn't growl for me :(

[temhawk2]

I installed Growl a loooong time ago, a few months after I got my first Mac. And I had it turned off for about a year because I never really needed it. And now I feel like I need Growly, but it just doesn't show any notifications... it's turned on and all...

I have no idea what could be the problem here. But when I go to "Display options" and click "preview", it doesn't show anything. Please help!!

What version are you using?

[temhawk2]

I'm using the latest version.

But I have noticed that it works now. It's the "Music Video" display style that doesn't work and Growl still doesn't growl for Skype and iTunes... only for Adium right now. But everything is turned on for Skype and iTunes (GrowlTunes) just like for Adium

Hello? Can you help me?

[temhawk2]

I'm not giving up...

I'm trying to understand what you meant. I need to know the version number for starters, and can you rephrase the rest of the explanation?

[temhawk2]

Okay, sorry.

This is Growl 1.1.4.
And Mac OS X 10.5.5 (iMac).

At first I thought that Growl didn't work at all. But it turned out that only the "Music Video" display style didn't show any form of notification, even when previewing it from the preferences pane. And it was set as the default style, so none of the applications showed any notifications because the default style didn't work properly (or not the way I expect).

It's still like that, except that I changed the default style to "Bubbles" and now it shows notifications for Adium 1.3.2. Only Adium though, and I would like Growl to work for Skype, iTunes and others too!!

This is how it looks for Skype in the Growl applications settings:

I don't see why it shouldn't work. Do you have a clue?

[temhawk2]

Oh, and Growl also works for Firefox I've noticed.

Don't you feel like finding out why your app doesn't work for Skype? (for me at least)

[The_Tick]

If Firefox works, then Growl is working. I'd try the skype folks personally.

Problem solved!

I freshly installed Skype again and it worked. Lost all my chat transcripts though

Thanks anyway!!
