  • I put your additional info directly into your question, which is the preferred to adding it via comments. Aug 7, 2014 at 16:06
  • Did you try to open the application from the Finder using right/double finger click and select "Open" from the dropdown menu? For downloaded applications, OSX requires to open it manually first (only once per application) before an application can be launched normally (see: support.apple.com/kb/PH14369).

You may need software update for skype but OS X automatically moves incompatible software to a folder called Incompatible Software at the root level of your startup drive. See article at http://www.macworld.com/article/2055518/installing-mavericks-what-you-need-to-know.html
