Bad connection using Skype on Ipad and IMac

I have skype on my imac and on my ipad. I am trying to skype someone who is using my ipad in Spain. last night we spoke easily and it was very clear. Tonight it is really bad, with what seems to be a lot of interference and also breaking up. Using WiFi at both ends. I also updated my version of skype on my iMac, this evening before calling? Any ideas, very much appreciated x

That is probably the nature of Skype. Generally when I use it which is at least twice a week it is reasonable, other times excellent and others very poor, with dropped calls and frozen video.
If you both have good internet connections, i.e you both can connect to other web sites OK then it is just the way it is sometimes.
Unless of course any body else can suggest other ideas to help.

  • Both of our iPhone 4s no longer connects to home wifi, iPad and iMac still do.

    Our home wifi appears to be working fine.  Our iPad and our computer are connected and have no trouble.  However, both my husband's and my iPhone 4s that have always been connected no longer connect.  It can see the signal, allows me to click on it an enter the network key, but then says unable to connect.  We reset our wireless hub but that did not help.  I restarted my phone and reentered the network key twice.  I'm fairly sure that it stopped working right after the most recent update.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I don't want to drain all my data down while I'm @ home.

    Update, the iPad worked all morning and the second that my settings button showed that there was a new software update, it disconnected from the wifi and is now behaving exactly like the iphones.  This has got to be an issue with the new software. 

  • Using exchange2003 on iPad and iPhone. Is it possible to use agenda on iMac via the cloud?

    I am using exchange2003 on iPad and iPhone. Is it possible to use same agenda and contacts on iMac 10.7.2?

    Hi jeris529,
    As Niel has suggested, you should not use a non standard disk in your slot loading iMac.
    Further information about disk compatibility or usage can be found in the Apple Knowledge Base Article "Using nonstandard discs in optical drives".
    hope that helps some,

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • Wi-fi bridge between two routers TP-LINK WR841ND (WDS).  HP 1536 dnf MFP connect to one of this routers (copper).  My Ipad or Iphone can't find HP 1536 dnf MFP (using Eprint). Ipad and iphone connect   to router across WiFi.

    Hello.
    I have wi-fi bridge between two routers TP-LINK WR841ND.
    The name of this technology - WDS.
    HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP connect to one of this routers (copper).
    Second device (my NETBOOK) connect to second router (WiFi).
    I have good communication between NETBOOK and HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP via WiFI-bridge.
    In usual case NETBOOK can find (and can Ping) network printer and make a print some files.
    But my Ipad or Iphone can't find HP Laser JET 1536 dnf MFP (using Eprint). Ipad and iphone connect
    to router across WiFi.
    Please, help!

    Are you using the ePrint Mobile App, the ePrint Printer Control App, or just trying to send an email to the printer's ePrint email address?
    Does AirPrint work?

  • I have two apple products registered to the same apple id.  I would like to use FaceTime on my iPad while out of town.  I need to do FaceTime to my iMac at home (both iPad and imac are reg. to same id).  It won't let me do it, help?

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • When using Skype my IPad sounds like ocean. This is not a problem when I am on FaceTime or using other apps with sound.  Recently updated to newest IOS 7. First there was no sound for Kype and found that had to turn microphone sound on.

    When using Skype my IPad 2 now sounds like the ocean and I can barely here my contact.  This happened recently after IOS7 update. I did turn the microphone on for Skype as it was required after update.  Now my sound is terrible but only a problem when using Skype video call.  It is okay for FaceTime.

    Thank you!  Resetting resolved the issue with terrible sound when trying to use skype.  Sounds much better! 
    I am not sure what all changed when reset was applied to settings --- assume it defaults back to basic settings.  I have no idea what I had customized, so will slowly figure out.  I have noticed several things.  So far I had to add back my wallpaper and reenter password to get back on my wi-fi. 
    At least SKYPE is now audible.

    Skype does not interface with FaceTime. You cannot use one to contact a person who is using the other.

    How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    What does this have to do with using an iPad?
    But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
    Is this what you want to know about?

  • Paired ipad and imac..now what?

    I was pairing my wireless keyboard with my iPad and saw iMac on the list calling out to me.  So I paired them.   I have looked for uses and advantages for this but have yet to find anything.
    Suggestions and tips are welcomed. JiPi

    Your original post mentioned about wireless keyboard & iPad. Instead you pair it with your iMac.
    So you can wirelessly type on your iMac. My question was what else do you expect?
    Since this forum is about Home Sharing and your 2nd question was asking what iPad and iMac can do at the same time when connected.
    There are quite a number of things you can do. For example:
    1. You don't have to sync all your computer iTunes music to the iPad. You can stream it to your iPad.
    2. With a Remote app (free from Apple) you can control your computer iTunes.

  • How can I do to have the same contacts in all my devices, pc, iPad and iMac?

    I have severl devices and the last taime I updated my contacts was almos manually. I would Like to be able to have the same contacts in all, pc, iPad, and iMac.
    How can I set it so to get it done through iCloud?
    For instance in my pc ( windows 7 Home Premium ) I use Outlook 2007.
    Thanks for any comment on this.

    switching on iCloud should automatically tell it to merge data with that device and icloud. i'm on a mac but its gotta be the same on all devices and systems.
    when you switch on icloud for Contacts on a PC, it will tell you its merging all contacts with icloud...

  • HT5824 I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have number

    I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
    I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
    I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere. 

    No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

  • I can not synchronise the agenda's in iPad and iMac

    Both using the synchronise button in iTunes or the automatic method via wifi, the agenda's in iPad and iMac will not synchronise.
    Help apreciated.

    Strangely enough synchronising iPhone (4S  ios 8.1)  and iMac does work!

  • I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

    I downloaded the Keynote app to use on my iPad and because of iCloud, it is trying unsuccessfully to download onto my iPhone. How can I get it to stop attempting to download onto my iPhone? It says waiting and I can't delete it (no X to click). Thx!

    Did you try shutting down the device? Resetting? Disabling iCloud? Disabling auto-update?
    I'd find the problem that is keeping the download from proceeding and fix that so that the process can finish...sounds like it may be your connection or a server issue, in which case you may need to wait.
