3 different IDs with one Skype account?

Hi,
I'm trying to sort out a mismatch with my Skype-ID, Microsoft-ID and mail address. I don't get it, please help me to understand the underlying system.
The first IDs I get aware of is when I start Skype and click onto the symbol in the upper right corner, which brings up charms bar. On top of the charms bar I read "Peter Smith" and "peter.smithAThotmail.com" (all names are for demonstration purposes). Next I click on "Account" at the bottom of charms bar, which launches IE and a page called "My Account". There again I see "Peter Smith". But when I click on "Logoff" in that page I'm presented with a logon screen (for the purpose of an immediate relogon) - and this is preallocated with "Batman96" as "Skype-Name". And that's not all: Clicking on "Forgott password" I get an email for resetting it. And when that email arrives it says "Hello jack.miller96"!?
How can I achieve
a) that I'm similarily am "Peter Smith" in Skype and Windows and the associated email address is [e-mail removed for privacy and security],
b) get rid of "Batman96" and "jack.miller96"?
I know that there are some persons named "Peter Smith" in the world. But finding me in Skype should be no problem, because the search in Skype directory could be narrowed down to home town, date of birth etc.
Could someone please explain how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Stefano

I think it should work fine, as long as you give the sites different names.

  • Create on 2 different Macs with one .mac account different websides

    I have 2 Macs at different places, I have one .mac-account and I liked to create and publish websides independently on both Macs (for example: I have all my regular websides on my Mac at home, but when I am in my weekend-house, I liked eventually to take some pictures concerning a problem which just arouse, publish it on a quickly created webside and call a friend, so that he is able to have a look at this new webside and give me a comment).
    Is it possible to do this without erasing my regular websides that I had already published on my home-Mac ?

  • I have 2 macs w/different music with one iTunes account

    can I use both machines on the same account, or do I need to have separate iTunes accounts for each machine for Genius to work properly?

    I have 3 emails and 3 devices. I just want to be able to share the purchased music/apps but keep pictures/contacts etc separate. Is this possible??

  • Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account?  For example: iPad and iPhone, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud), is this possible?

    Hello Apple Community,
    Can I backup two devices (with different documents) to one iCloud account? 
    For example: iPad Air and iPhone 5, not everything is synced between the two, but I would like to backup each (seperately in the cloud).  Is this possible?
    This way when I change from an old ipad to a new, I can restore with the ipad backup, and when I change from an old iphone to a new, I can restore from the
    iphone backup.
    Thank you in advance!

    Terminology check here. Do you really mean a "CD"?  There's a difference in Cloud behavior between content from a physical CD you ripped (which only has Cloud content if you have iTunes Match) and an "album" you bought from the iTunes Store.
    Read references for Home Sharing.
    iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
    Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above can get pretty complicated.  You are probably best off by syncing both devices to a single library and/or updating the libraries on both computers to have the same content.

  • I have two numbers on one skype account - how do I...

    My skype account has two numbers and I want to add one more, how do I allow answering of them separately?

    Hi, DHPE.Staff, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, Skype does not provide a facility to do this.  While a Skype account's incoming calls, whether to the Skype account itself or a Skype Number, can be forwarded to multiple mobile or land line numbers, each Skype Number purchased for an account is considered affiliated with that account and cannot be forwarded separately.
    The work-around people use is to create a new account for each Skype Number needed; that way call forwarding and caller ID can be differentiated between the numbers.
    The thing to be mindful of in doing this, however, is to use different payment methods, otherwise the payment methods and accounts may be trapped inadvertently by Skype's anti-fraud filters.  More details about this here:

    So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

  • How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

    We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id).  I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices.  Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime.  The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
    Please Help...
    I appreciate the help and support.

    P and V-
    If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
    The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID.  Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy".  That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
    On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping.  If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
    From the Home screen, double click your Home button.  You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  You will then see a red minus sign on each.  Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background.  (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

  • Use of multiple computers on one Skype account

    I'm trying to find out if we can have just one Skype account on multiple computers?  For instance, having one name and using it on both our travel laptop and our home desktop would be very helpful.  People wouldn't have to have two different contact listings to remember or keep track of to contact us!  Any help of suggestions would be appreciated.

    you can use your Skype account in any computer or device, as long as the Skype program or application is installed in it.

  • Using two apple IDs on one Itunes account

    I recently purchases a ipad for my 86 year old mother. I want to also add music to it that I have cd's for. She now has an Apple ID of her own and I have my own Apple ID. The problem is this, when I log out of my itunes account and log in as her, I can still see all my music library as her. How do I see NOTHING under her account, until I actually load in music for her. Then can i sync her ipad using my OWN Mac and have it appear on her ipad? I have not enabled home sharing at all. Thank you!

    Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
    ""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
    Yes.  I have two."
    Apple says:
    "An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
    Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
    Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
    Or have I go something wrong?

  • If I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail) can I convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account?

    I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail).  I then changed my account sign-in to a different email sign-in (ME) because of iCloud.  Can I easily convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account when an update for each app occurrs?

    Did you change your existing iTunes account or did you create a new account ? If you updated the existing account then you should be ok.  But if you created a new account, then as apps are tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account, only that original account will be able to download any future updates to them or re-download them on a different device.

  • Two Freetalks, two numbers, one Skype Account

    I have two freetalk 1200's, one in my home and one in our vacation home.  I also have two Skype numbers.  I'd like one Skype number to be associated (exclusivily) with the home Freetalk and the other number associated (exclusivily) with the vacation home.  To be clear I don't want them to ever BOTH ring when one number is called.  This is b/c we sometimes rent out the vacation home.  
    The Freetalk setup only allows you to associate it with a Skype account.  Both houses phones ring when either number is dialed.  Is the only solution to have two Skype accounts?  That would suck b/c it looks like if i cancel one of the numbers Skype is keeping the $30 i paid for it.
    Thanks!
    bc

    Unfortunately that would be your only solution.  If you want the device to act like a separate line, you have to have a separate line.  In this case, that would mean a separate account.  Purchasing a second number for 1 account means you actually want it to do exactly what it is doing.

  • HT204053 Use two phones with one iCloud account?

    Can you have two iphones with one iCloud account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Absolutely. There is no problem whatsoever in using a single iCloud account for two phones. However, saying that, if the two phones are used by different people, it may well not be the best of ideas.

  • Merge 1 microsoft account with 2 skype accounts

    Hi 
    I have my main microsoft account and 2 skype accounts (personal and work)  and I beleive what I want to achieve is in the interest of both me and microsoft but I have not seen a solution for this
    My question is this:
    Is there any plans to be able to merge 1 microsoft account with multiple skype accounts?
    Idealy this would mean that I could have 1 central profile (Microsoft) 
    and depending if I was at work or at home I could sign in with my respective skype accounts and have different skype friends lists. Without an easy way of doing this I will not be able to get rid of redundant information.
    A great feature addition to this would be that anyone that requested me to add them , If I had the accounts merged under 1 MS account, I could get an option to that skype profile I would add them (all, personal or work)

    (un)fortunately microsoft is not google and doesn't want any kind of single sign in as it seems, there is no way to do this, you have to make login-logout fests.

  • Freetalk with multiple Skype accounts?

    Is it possible to associate multiple skype accounts with a single Freetalk phone adapter?
    I would like to put our home cordless phone to a Freetalk adapter but allow each family member to have their own skype account and online phone number for non-skype friends and family to call. I only expect one call at a time but wondered if Freetalk adapter would support multiple skype accounts?

    Only one Skype account at a time can be logged into the connect me.
