Can log in with Skype account, cannot log in with ...

Windows XP SP3
Skype Desktop Client 6.14.0.104
Problem: l can successfully log into Skype with an old (~1 year) Skype name, but if I try to switch over to sign in with a new (as of 2 hours ago) Microsoft Account, I get this error:
Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again.
What I have done/tried:
Created a new MS Account with a gmail address
Verified the email address by clicking the link sent to that account
Successfully signed in to MS Account profile page with that email address
Tried to sign in to Skype desktop client with that account, got the error above
Switched to Skype login, successfully connected
Switched back to new MS account, login failed with error above
Verified the email address username was correct by copy/pasting after a successfully Live account profile login
Reset password following the instructions on the FAQ page
Successfully logged into Live account page with new password
New password fails with same error
Uninstalled client and downloaded the latest verision
Same thing: MS account login fails, Skype name works
Came here
Does anyone have any ideas? I assume the system is up in general and I can reach it across the internet, or my old name would not work. Is this a problem of an account that's too new?
Why not just use my Skype name? Well, I'll be interviewing some candidates for a position on my team later this afternoon, and don't want my normal username getting out to a lot of people.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One extra piece of info: if I enter an incorrect password, I immediate get
That password is incorrect. Be sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account.
If I enter a bogus MS Account name, I get "account doesn't exist".
If I enter my correct MS Account detail, I get the blue Skype login screen with the spinning "wait" logo before being bumped back to the login page with the original message from my first post.

Can I link existing skype accounts to my company a...

We have been using Skype at my company for some time now. Each employee has a personal Skype account they created. I created a Skype Manager account yesterday and am wondering if I can import their existing Skype accounts to merge them with the corporate account I created. Or, do I have to create new account for everyone? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

All Apple services use your Apple ID, so just sign into the service using the new ID you wish to use.
You will not, however, be able to transfer items purchased from the iTunes Store from an old Apple ID to a new one, nor will there be any way to change an existing iCloud account to a new one so that any documents or backups stored there will transfer over. Nor any way to change an existing iTunes Match account to a new Apple ID that I am aware of.
Regards.

Can i have 1 skype account on 2 separate computers...

I have a desktop computer running Windows XP and a Laptop computer running windows 7. How can I have 1 skype account and share it with both computers so that I have only 1 skype name?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, you can authorise up to 5 computers to play your iTunes content.

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

My wife and I share the iPad. Can we set up separate accounts to log in (like on our Mac)?

Good question, but I'm 99.9% certain the answer is "no". Here are some considerations:
Think of the heritage of iOS. It really started with iPhones and maybe iPods. These devices cost a whole lot less than a Mac. They are generally not thought of as shared (with exceptions, of course, as is true for you).
Think of the backup process. i-devices typically sync with one iTunes on one computer. How would an i-device with multiple users enstantiate this?
Anyway, all this is to say I'm convinced you cannot do what you're inquiring about.

Network Account Cannot Log On

New, fresh install of 10.8.2 OS X Server. DHCP, DNS, Open Directory, File Sharing all working. Server hostname is set to myserver.private. Two users are created:
test1 (and other accounts) has a network home, on AFP-shared Users, enabled for Home Directories
test2 home is set to Local Only
On an MBP 10.8.2, successfully joined to myserver.private, I try to log-in with those two network accounts. One works, the other does not:
test2 is able to log-on without a problem, log-out, and log-on, and so on,
test1 seems to authenticate, but cannot log on, displays message "You are unable to log in to the user account "test1" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
After failing with test1, test2 will also produce the same error, until I log-in and log-out successfully with a local MBP account, or it has been rebooted.
The only error related to test1 that I can see in the Console logs is:
authorizationhost[1197]: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://myserver.private/Users, homedir=/Network/Servers/myserver.private/Users/test1, name=test1 ) returned 64
Now, if I change test1 home directory setting (using Server.app) to "Local Only", I will be able to log-in on the MBP, however no home directory is provided (it serves the root of the local file system). If I log-out, and then use the Server.app to change it back to the previously set network home, I will be able to log-in with this account on the MBP with test1, but not with any other accounts that have a network home directory.
Any ideas why I am getting the "You are unable to log in" error in the first place? Many thanks for any hints...

It seems that the problem is that LS cannot prompt you for connection requests during the very early login stage, ie. when you are still at the login window, so the connection gets rejected and the login fails.
If you disable the LS then upon first login you will get a dialog from LS saying that there were connection attempts during login, and allow you to verfiy them, I tried it now on the second mac, and it seems that all that matters is the NetAuthSysAgent - allow outgoing connections to domain yourdomainname, but this is a rule of the user you are logging into!

Computer logs itself into Root account after logging out of admin account

I am experiencing a problem with my laptop logging itself into the root account. I recently started having my computer log itself out of my account if I was inactive for several minutes as a security precaution. However, now I frequently return to find my computer logged out of my account, but logged into the root account. The normal login window that appears when you log out of an account appears over the desktop of the root account. Any ideas how I can stop my computer from logging in like this and making my computer even less secure than it was before?

if you create another administrator account, dose it have the same issue as the managed account? if it dose not, dose any programs open when you login as the new administrator account?

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Problems with Skype account creation when signing ...

I recently created my Skype account by signing in with my Microsoft Account. I used my outlook account when creating the Skype account. However, when the account was created, my hotmail account which is linked to my Outlook account was listed as the primary email. I think the Skype name was also based off the hotmail email.
I fail to understand why this is so when the Outlook email was listed as the primary email in my outlooko account. To make matters worse, I am unable to update my profile as the SKype account prompts me for a password when doing so. Typing in the password to my outlook gives an error.
Is there any way to rectify this? I would very much like to use my Outlook email as the Skype name and not the one on the hotmail account. The two email addresses are very different.

I have a new MacBook Air 11'inch and I presume that it should come with the iLife programs. However, when I signed into the appstore with my account I have used with all of my Mac products, it now said I had to purchase each program, like iPhoto, iMovie, ect. seperate. I have already logged in and out of my account and called the "free" part of tech support. How can I reslove this issue?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you really have a new MacBook, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand come with the Mac for free.
As you see their price at the Mac App Store, it's clear that there's a problem with your MacBook. Simply return it if you purchased it less than 14 days ago and you will receive a new MacBook

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with online applications such as "lolcam from facebook" or "faceonthehole" application. Please help

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with other applications like the "lolcam" from facebook or the " faceonthe hole" application. Can anyone help?

There was a issue with school computers being used to spy on kids in their bedrooms, Mac's were involved.
So Apple most likely tightened the API's to only select, trustworthy companies as not to abuse the web cam access priviledge.
If you want to use a web cam with these other programs and services, you'll likely have to buy a third party USB one, so you can manually disconnect it.
There isn't a way to physcially disconnect the built in web cam on Mac's without busting open the machine.

Hi all!
I haver a problem, that I cannot sign off from my Skype account.
I am signing off on all my devices, but still stay online, it has been since 1 month for no on. I have changed my passwords already twice, thinking thta somebody has hacked my Skype account, but it still remains the same.
Is there any chance to solve it? Thank you in advance.

mini notebook NB255-N245
You're apparently talking about the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe).
I don't understand your questions.
I have noticed when logging off Safe Mode you have to select the Normal Boot option I guess.
I don't even understand that. Does "logging off Safe Mode" mean booting normally? And please use the language that you see on the screen.
