Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Pidgin 2.5.5.

What's new in this version:

- fixed some bugs in the Gtk+ framework to make it working bundled in an app-bundle
- statically linked in most official Pidgin plugins (but extended Pidgin source that not all of them are loaded by default)
- build own Gtk+ framework from Gtk+ SVN trunk
- MacOSX notify support (the icon jumps on a new message or any other event; that is the pidgin_set_urgent function)
- OTR plugin builtin (based on Pidgin OTR 3.1.0)
- added SSL support (builtin GnuTLS 2.6.4)
- updated Pidgin source to 2.5.5
- Facebookchat plugin builtin
- Gfire plugin builtin
