Skype 7.1 doesn't let me sign in - IE8 problems
To the person who sucessfully downloaded and installed an older version (6. whatever it was): Where did you find the older version? Could you please send a link?
I've been having lots of trouble trying to use Skype version 7.1. Seems like it installs but it will never let me sign in.
Very frustrating. Version 7.1 seems not to work for someone with an older computer still using XP (with service pack 3, 32 bit).
Could this issue be related to problems with Internet Explorer 8? Under the system requirements for this latest version of Skype it says I need Explorer 8. Well, that's easier said than done! My Explorer is not working (I believe I have 'Modver: 8.0.6001.19328') and seems to be corrupted. So far I've been unable to update it, or uninstall it. And even if I figure out how to uninstall, I'm afraid that afterwards I won't be able to re-install Explorer 8 (which BTW I would need ONLY for Skype, since I normally use Firefox). When I go to Microsoft.com downloads and look up Explorer 8, I get this message: "Internet Explorer 8 is not compatible with your system. You are running Windows XP 32-bit."
What can I do?? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks!!!

Even with an older Skype version you will not be able to login if your Internet Explorer is defect.
Try first to reset all Internet Explorer settings to default.

If this will still not help, then try to reinstall IE8.

There asking me to verify but when I go to sign into mail, it says I already added this account then it doesn't let me see my mail, enabling me to verify. Any way to fix this ?
Try opening the Mac App Store and go to the Purchases tab. See if you see the preinstalled iMovie App there. You may have to accept it into your Apple ID if you have not done so already. Then it should upgrade.

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections. -

My iphone4 Safari won't let me sign into any websites (email, school, commercial). What can I do to fix this?
Sorry just re-read your original post and realized that my answer doesn't address you problem:
"If the problem is that Safari won't display a login screen when started, try going to a different website than is displayed when you start Safari. When I have this problem, I select another website from my bookmarks and am redirected to the login screen. It's strange, but it works."
So..., what is happening that it won't let you login? Keyboard not popping up? Website won't accept input? -

Skype won't start up - freezes on sign in page
I had the issue of Skype not starting up and freeze on sign in page
I tried alll the steps listed in other posts on this topic but none of them worked,
..but I now have it up and running....
I deleted anything I could find to do with Skype - User/Library/Preferences/com.skype.skype.plist
User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Skype (the whole folder)
Skype itself from Applications
Removed iGlasses and its prefewrence fles
Changed default speech name to something other than what it was on
Restarted from an external boot disk and repaired permissions on the hard drive from disk utiility
Download and install latest verssion of Skype - but didn't open it....
Restarted again but this time in Safe Mode (shift + S after the startup chime)
Then ran Skype, it allowed me to sign in and I let it catch up with all the messages/updates etc....
I then peformed a normal restart and when I opened Skype I was able to login normally..
Happy Days!!
Let me know if this helps.

... Overwriting empty space is not freeing up space. What it does is create a file on your hard drive. ... You need to remove files from the hard drive ... Connect your Mac to anther via firewire and boot your Mac into target disk mode (hold down the 't' key when booting up. Hopefully your hard drive will show up on the desktop of the other Mac. You can then begin removing files.
The key thing to do here is find the file that was created to fill up all the remaining space on the drive and delete it.
This file was created solely so that it could be zeroed over, and it would have been deleted when the zeroing was complete. Because you interrupted the procedure, you're left with this big useless file on the drive, no free space, and OS X is unable to log you in because it can't perform the normal writing of files that it would normally do when you log on.
Delete this one file - I have no idea what it's called, so do some Goolging - and you'll be able to log in as normal. Sure you're short of space, but there's no need to delete any of your important photos, letters or email. Once you can log in again as normal Google "upgrade MacBook hard-drive" and spend like $50 on the required new disk, cloning across the old (but working) system.

My friend tried to call me on Facetime, but the call kept failing. I quit Facetime and then tried to login in again, but now it says "The server encounter an error processing registration," even though I'm not creating an account, I'm signing in to my current one. Not only that, but I'm using the same computer that I created my account with and that I always use. I have had nonstop problems with Facetime and I'm seriously considering moving back to Skype if Apple doesn't get its act together.
This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 12
Reinstall OS X.
Step 13
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. -
My iMessage will not let me sign in. The error message "Please check your network connection and try again" keeps popping up. I am connected to wifi.
Welcome to Apple Support Discussions,

Since I installed Leopard, I also get the same -9844 error message any time I try to do anything in the iTunes Music Store. I've installed iTunes 7.5 and that doesn't fix the problem for me.
Strangely enough I was able to download two free singles of the week on the iTunes Store but that's the only success I've achieved. I hope Apple fixes this problem soon.
