Avoid double accounts in hotmail + skype

Can you please help me deal with the contact mess I have on skype and hotmail accounts? I have my skype account "[account name redacted for privacy" linked to my hotmail microsoft account "[account name] (at) hotmail". I thought this would create a "unique" experience when it comes to contacts/communication but it doesn't work like that. If I open skype with my hotmail account, it shows a different contact list than if I open skype with my skype account. And when I open hotmail.com, I get automatically logged in to skype on the bar on the right, for my hotmail account ONLY and NOT for actual "skype" account contacts. And I see recent chats but can't hide them, and I can't even filter for "only see online contacts" - so what is the use of this?! I hate it. And here is where it becomes MESSY: I want people to add me so I tell them "add me to skype, my user is [account name redacted for privacy]" so they look me up and find me TWICE, once for my hotmail account + once for my skype account. Some of them add me to hotmail by mistake, so I have to reject them and tell them to add me to skype. This is a mess. Please help me with the following: 1) I do NOT want hotmail to force me to use embedded version of skype for my hotmail account. If fact I don't want to use it to chat, I just need email! 2) I do NOT want people to search in skype "facundosuarezc" and find my hotmail account. Instead I just want to have ONE skype account "[account name redacted for privacy]" to avoid mishaps. Can you please tell me how I can accomplish this?Thank you very much!    First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm surprised I have no responses yet at all. I wouldn't expect it to be such a difficult question. If I close my @hotmail email account, will that be good enough so I just keep skype I hope? but can I keep my @hotmail account without coming up as a msn account too so people just can find me in skype through hotmail? thanks!Facundo

  • I renewed and Skype gave me a double account and is billing me monthly...

    I had already contacted customer service via your chat several times. The agent said it was resolved and the double account would be closed. He also told be I would get the two 30.00 charges refunded. I never got the refunds and the account remains open. I have tried twice to contact chat since the proposed correction and the agents say the systems are down. This is really unacceptable and ridiculous! I paid for one yearly account, try to renew my yearly account and end up with two accounts, one billing me an outrageuos 30.00 a month. Something I never asked for. I need this resolved now. I don't have time to be contacting skype on a daily basis.

    How can anyone here know what they gave you? None of us were there in the store at the time. I'd suggest you go back to the store and ask them. A "replacement phone" means exactly that - a "replacement" for the faulty "phone" you returned.
    Whatever you were given, it will be identical to the one that was replaced (apart from it works).
    There is no difference between a refurbished phone, and a new one, except the refurbished one has actually been through more checks that it is ok, than a new one.

  • While in Hotmail, Firefox crashed & now I can't open or delete messages, however, on the same computer-different account- my Hotmail works fine.

    While a request to print a sent email was being executed (successfully), my attention was diverted away from the computer screen. When I returned, the Firefox "crash" notice was on the screen, but everything appeared fine so I didn't file a report. I exited Hotmail and later signed in and found out I can not open or delete any messages. I exited Hotmail, switched computer user accounts and opened my Hotmail under the computer's administrative account. Under the adm. account my Hotmail works without a problem. Switched back to my computer user account, signed in to Hotmail and the original problem still exists. What can I do to get Hotmail to work in my computer user account?

  • How to avoid double-click to click-box

    Hello,
    until now I did not find a solution for this problem:
    I have created a training course for a specific application, and in this coure are some click boxes on which the user should click. On many click boxes should the user click only once but if he double-click the click box, in real application nothing happens. There is only one way to succes the action - one click. But in captivate when the user double-click the click box instead of one click it evaluate as success action (the click box is set only to one click, double-click checkbox is not checked).
    So my question is, is there any way how to avoid double-click in cases where the user should click only once? Or in case he double-click the click box to show failure caption?
    Many thanks.
    Lukas

    Hi all
    Interesting thread. Unfortunately, what would be needed here is some sort of a widget that would run some internal timer. Sure, you can try multiple Click Boxes and configure one with a Single Click and one with a Double Click. But the problem with that (as I see it) is regardless of what you might try, the Single Click will win out every time. Thus you would need a widget of some sort that would "listen" for a Double Click and respond appropriately.
    Tough call... Rick

  • Mail 4.6 unable to send outgoing mail (second gmail account and hotmail account)

    I am able to receive mails but I cannot send outgoing mails on my second gmail account and hotmail account.  Both smtp shows that it is "offline."

    Hi Slayzr
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. 
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
    Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

  • 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.

  • Avoid double submissions

    Hello all,
    In my custom page, to avoid double submissions, i'm using the below code but i can still see my cursor available for double submission. Below is my code. please check.
    //logic to make the submit button disable on a click of the submit button in the page
    OAWebBean body = pageContext.getRootWebBean();
    if(body instanceof OABodyBean)
    ((OABodyBean)body).setBlockOnEverySubmit(true);

    Thanks for the help
    KK

    KK,
    I am sure this code in the ProcessRequest starting,
    Have you checked in IE Browser(6 or 7).
    One more way is you have to start the transaction UnitHelper when you start the process, after you commit the trasaction you have to end the helper.
    And you can check the transactionUnit is ended in your PFR.
    import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.TransactionUnitHelper;
    static void      endTransactionUnit(OAPageContext pageContext, String transactionUnitName)
    Ends a transaction unit by removing the transaction-in-progress indicator for the given transaction unit name.
    static boolean      isTransactionUnitInProgress(OAPageContext pageContext, String transactionUnitName, boolean isTransactionParticipant)
    Returns whether a transaction unit is in progress by checking the existence of a transaction-in-progress indicator for the given transaction unit name.
    static void      startTransactionUnit(OAPageContext pageContext, String transactionUnitName)
    Starts a transaction unit by registering a transaction-in-progress indicator for the given transaction unit name.
    Thanks.
    With Regards,

  • Account locked by Skype WITHOUT using common sense

    I made an account for a friend and bought a voucher for him. After his first call, the account got locked. Here is the discussion I had on Skype`s live chat. It`s quite hilarious how a multi billion company like Skype hires cheap support from the Phillipines. Why would they do that unless they don`t want people using their service.... Please read on as it is quite hilarious. Oh, can someone ( a NATIVE English speaker prefferably) tell me what in God`s name is the "speciality group" and what is his role?

  • How to avoid double-counting in Total field

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm new to Essbase.
    Here's a question I don't know how Essbase handle it, my source data stores at relational database, normally one row in the fact table associates with only one row in dimension table, but very common scenario like one fact row can associate with many rows in dimension table, to simplify we have 4 tables:
    1. DimProduct(ProductID, ProductName). there's one row like 1, "Bike"
    2. FactSales(ProductID, Quantity), there's one row like 1, 10
    3. FactSalesReasons(ProductID,ReasonID), there're 2 rows like 1,1 and 1,2 , suppose there're 2 reasons associate with this product sale, that means 1-N relationship between fact and dimension.
    4. DimReason(ReasonID,ReasonName), there're 2 rows like 1,"Quality" and 2, "Promotion"
    I expect the report as follows:
    ProductName ReasonName Quantity
    Bike Quality 10
    Promotion 10
    Total 10
    But while built cube, I got the value 20 of Total. I know Microsoft SSAS has a many-many dimension usage can avoid this double counting issue (no need to write extra calculation script), can Essbase do similar way?
    Thanks!
    Xiao

    What I would recommend in this case would be in a calc script. I would guess that this dimension is sparse which usually has a low calculation priority (calcs first and may get overwritten). So, at least for a first pass at a calculation...
    ========
    SET UPDATECALC OFF;
    Calc All;
    "Total Reason" = @AVG(SKIPNONE,@CHILDREN("Total Reason"));
    ========
    SKIP options are "none", "missing", "zero" or "both".
    This will calculate for all accounts.

  • One premium account and multiple Skype HD devices

    Will one Premium account and multiple non premium HD accounts work for video calling? Basically the idea is 10 HD skype devices, the set top boxes connected to tvs will dial into one Premium Mac or PC account for multiple video conferencing.

    Yes, one user needs to have a Group Video Calling subscription.
    Unfortunately, not all devices support Group Video calling (TV's for example, do not).
