1 Skype account across 2 Macs and an iPhone - how ...

Hi I have 1 Skype account that I use across my home desktop Mac (Yosemite 10.10), my work Mac laptop Air (Yosemite 10.10) and my iPhone 6 (iOS8.1).  I assumed the Skype contacts would be synced across all devices because it is the one account, but I've just realised that they aren't.  Does anyone know how to get this sync happening - is it even possible?
Thanks in advance! 

I'm not having the same issues with iCloud that you are, but starting last night (9/27), my iMac, running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, became VERY slow to load iCloud.  I thought it might be something with Safari 6.0, but I encountered the same problem when I tried to access iCloud using Firefox.
This morning, iCloud is again very slow to launch and when I'm finally in, none of the apps within iCloud (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc.) will open.  ???
I haven't seen a posting on the discussion groups here regarding an iCloud outage or other major problems, but I'm also wondering if there's some iCloud file on my iMac that couuld be corrupted and causing the problem.
Like TomorrowPlusX posted above: is there some way to reset iCloud and start fresh?

  • Work two Skype accounts simultaneously on Mac?

    Hi,
    I'm considering a Skype Business Account but would like to keep my private account running at the same time (without logging on/off to toggle accounts). There seems to be a workaround for Windows (by running "C:\Programme\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary). Is there something comparable for the Mac?
    Thanks,
    Caddis

    This solution requires the use of Terminal, an app included in Mac OS. It is an advanced-user app that might be intimidating for basic users but is quite simple to use, at least for the intentions of this solution.
    The instructions are written for the inexperienced-in-Terminal basic user. Otherwise, this solution can be inferred by the solutions posted in the links at the end of this post.
    Instructions
    Having Skype already installed in your computer and already open:
    1. Open Terminal. (If you don't know where to find it you can search it using Spotlight)
    2. On the window that Terminal opens (a white window with a line of text awaiting for you to type) write: "sudo /Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype" (you can copy&paste from here, it has to be everything between the quotation marks, including the space between "sudo" and "/App..." EXCLUDE the quotation marks).
    3. Terminal will ask for your user account password (the same you use when you log in to your computer or install an app).
    4. After a few seconds a second window of Skype will open.
    5. You can close the Terminal window if you wish. (Some users reported this closes Skype too although it hasn't happened to me, if it does you will have to minimize Terminal and keep it open as long as you need the two accounts.)
    This solution/procedure is based in the very similar solutions posted by:
    kai_schroder in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Work-two-Skype-a​ccounts-simultaneously-on-Mac/m-p/272748/highlight​...
    ccalhoun in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Re-Run-two-skype​-accounts-on-my-Mac/m-p/466123/highlight/true#M123​...
    ems_904 in http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Is-there-a-way-t​o-sign-on-to-multiple-Skype-accounts-at-the-same/m​...
    Note for advanced users: This solution is basically the same kai_schroder posts although greatly explained for basic users. Compared to the other two solutions, it simplifies the need of a second user account in the computer by using the 'sudo' command in Terminal.
    FOR SKYPE: Clearly Mac users are in need of a better solution from Skype.

    You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.

  • Is there any way I can use the same email address for my Facetime account on my mac and my itouch?

    I set up my Facetime account on my mac with no problem.  When I went to set up my account on my itouch it said "account cannot be verified because it is already in use."  Is there any way to have the same account on my mac and my itouch?

    You should be able to.  I did.  See:
    iOS: FaceTime is 'Unable to verify email because it is in use'
    Just remember if both have the same calling address, you can't call the other device.  I tried that too.

    Yes.  You just need an appropriate adapter.   Apple products work across the full voltage range of 100 to 220v.

  • How do I sync Tasks/To-Do List between a MAC and an iPhone

    I am in the process of converting from a Windows PC to a MAC, and from a Blackberry to an iPhone. Today, I use the Outlook Tasks application extensively on my PC which syncs with my Blackberry. I am looking for an application that will provide this same functionality on the MAC and the iPhone. Can someone recommend an application that has a MAC client for Tasks/To-Do List that will sync with the iPhone? I have looked into the new Microsoft Office 11 home and business for the MAC which does provide the MAC client for task, but I have not been able to find an app for the iPhone that will sync the tasks to my iPhone.
    Any recommendation would be helpful
    Thank you

    No idea where the setting might be on an iPad, but see if it's similar to the Mac...
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced tab, it has a box for Remove from Server once downloaded.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

    i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
    I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
    Many thnaks for your answers.

    You can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.  There is no way around this.
    Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
    BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum.  Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share.
