I have downloaded the last Skype version but my MAC OS X 10.6.8 doesn't support it. I have searched for the previous version I was using but I can't find it? Can you help me?

There is a tweak to make the application compatible with the version, but be advised that Skype will give you errors since it's using additional technologies in newer versions.
Right click Skype and select Show Package Contents, then double click the Info.plist and open it with the text editor. Scroll down until you see these lines:
CFBundleVersion 6.15.0.335
The numbers might be different, but replace it with the following one: 7.36.0.507. Close the file, save the package, and relaunch Skype. It should work now.

You need Skype 6.15 to be able to install it on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Luckily, the developers provided a page with information and the downloads necessary for that version of OS X.
The camera needs to be installed first then when you click on Video Call in Skype, the process should be automatic. The camera should start without any other extra configuration. Alternatively, go to Options > Video and make sure the webcam is detected.

According to the official forum of the application, this behavior was encountered by all users that updated Skype to a newer version. It seems that an update package had a bug that the developers fixed in the next patch. In this matter, you can either visit OldApps website to download an older version of Skype, or update the application to the latest version.

This was reported as being a bug in the version of the software you currently use. The official fix posted on various forums indicates that a fresh installation of Skype is mandatory.
Access the official website and download the newly released version of Skype, then visit the Macam website to download the compatible drivers.
For Skype it is absolutely necessary to have Mac OS X 10.5.8 or higher. It doesn't work for versions prior to 10.5.8 release.
To record Skype calls you can try using a third party tool like Call Recorder or IMCapture. These software are specially designed to run with your Skype application, so you won't have any compatibility problems with them.
In order to delete your Skype history, you can try to Sign In to your account, go to Skype -> Preferences -> in the new window go to Privacy and click Delete All Chat history.
It depends on the specs of the old Macbook, but Skype should work on most Macbooks.
