Can't retrieve old Skype log-in information

I created a Skype account with my email address years ago and had the password saved on my old laptop. I tried to log in on my new laptop and unfortunately forgot the password. But whenever I try to retrieve my old password (i.e. submitting my email address to get a new recovery code on the following page https://login.skype.com/recovery ) it brings me to the Windows account information retrieval page. I guess it keeps bringing me there because I created a new Skype account with an outlook.com email address just as a temporary measure--but it's incredibly frustrating to not be able to get my old account up and running!
I want to log into my old account so I can get my old contacts back and hopefully link it to my Windows account.
Does anyone know how I can get an account recovery code for my old account???

There can be some issues regarding password recovery and different account types, I suggest you contact customer service to get it sorted out:

I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues. They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).

Ipad 3 How can I retrieve old sent messages?

How can I retrieve old sent messages which disappeared from my sent folder? I only have old sent messages until June 2014 and I need a message I sent in March 2014. I use a pop email client (godaddy). Any suggestions? Greetings, Harry

Unless you saved the email to a folder on your computer, it is most likely gone for good since it has disappeared from the sent folder in the mail app. Email messages are not stored in the backups so you cannot retrieve them that way either.

Retrieving Old Skype Number

Hello
I have been trying to raise my concern via the skype chat but it seems its not working. But basically here is my concern.
I got a skype number a few months ago, About 1month ago, i could not continue with the payments. so now the skype number doesnt go through. I would like to know how to reconnect my skype number. is there a link where i make payment and continue with the use of my old skype number.
Thank you

Hi, Welcome2Africa, and welcome to the Skype Community,
You should be able to sign on to your account dashboard and reactivate your Skype Number. The number will be held on your account for ninety (90) days following the Skype Number subscription's expiration, so you have opportunity to sign on and renew the subscription.
Remember that the payment method you wish to use is accurate and up-to-date. If you used Skype credit, be sure there is enough credit on account to cover the cost of the renewal.
Regards,
Elaine

HT201269 can you retrieve old text message ?

I'm needing to get text messages that i sent from a year ago. Can you retrieve text messages?

I think you can retrieve old messages. I have done it to the extent of a couple months on my iPhone looking up some info I needed. What I did was kept scrolling back to "load earlier messages" and they kept coming till I got to the info I wanted. They are always telling you this stuff lives forever, at least in court supeonas.
I have wondered if I could go back through the iMessages using my lap top. As a parent of young adults, their messages to me through the last several years are such a travelogue of their lives, I wouldn't mind reading it again. Probably someone in criminal justice would know how to do it better.

How Can I retrieve old podcasts I deleted by error?

Hello,
I uses the last version 7.2.2 on MacOS.
I deleted a few podcasts from an album I subscribed to.
I know that the podcasts I deleted are still available on the publisher's site.
Until version 7.1.... It was possible to retrieve old podcasts again by using the command "retrieve old podcasts" (or something like this) (just below "refresh album in the contextual menu). But it seems that this useful command has been removed.
Is there any way to do it anyway?
Many thanks in advance for any help.

How can I retrieve old passwords from a broken computer?

My old computer crashed and it had all my old passwords on it! I was wondering if it were possible to somehow retrieve them. I can access data from the computer, but I can't open the Firefox application due to the virus. I was running it on Vista with the newest version of Firefox as of April 2011.
I'd really appreciate the help - I cant remember all of my passwords.

Everything should be in these articles
* Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* Profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile
* Profile folder - Firefox http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* Moving your profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder
* Category:Profile contents (Firefox) - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Profile_contents_(Firefox)
The first article tells what files you need for passwords, for your purposes everything is Firefox 3 (meaning Firefox 3 and up).
You could just copy the content of your entire profile into a profile created and then with Firefox down empty your new profile and repopulate with the old profile content.

How can I retrieve old iMessages (from phone) from Messages on my computer

Hi,
I recently installed Mavericks, and now have Messages. However, it only seems to have access to my texts from one person, and no one else.
I have tried the steps described here—
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17818978#17818978
—without success. In particular, my Contacts are synced via iCloud, my phone is aware of my Apple ID, its own number (which it automatically sends from), and two email addresses, and my computer knows that same Apple ID and phone number (which it is set to send from) and two email addresses. When I attempt to start typing a text message to a new contact, my text history with that person does not import. Their name shows up red.
Much worse, when I tried to send texts to someone else (who I know uses an iPhone) via Messages, it instead sent it to the one person whose texts it has imported. I would rather be able to text more than one person.
Thank you for any advice you can give.

HI,
Just to restate to make things clear.
Lets presume the Apple ID is already on the Mac in Messages for the iMessages account.
Then you should add the Apple ID to the iPhone.
Once this is done the iPhone should show the number and th Apple ID in the Send and Receive spot.
If you restart the Mac version at this point you should get a pop up saying what the iPhone is using.
You should accept this and it will add the iPhone number to the Messages app > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account details in the "Receive At" spot which in turn should show the drop down for "Send From".
It is possible to have an email at Apple for your Apple ID that has never been verified.
If this is the case there can be issues with the iMessages side of Messages and FaceTime.
Go to the Apple ID site
Login using the Manages option and make sure your email is verified.
(it should send you an email and you click a response link to confirm).
This may explain why the Mac version is not logging in properly and showing you the red names when you start to set up a conversation.
EDIT
Also you can only "Sync" the iMessages from the time both devices have the same Apple ID

How can i retrieve old text messages

How can i access my old deleted text messages without using backup?
Are there any good and free apps that can help??

If they are deleted and not in your backup file, then you cannot recover them.

How can I retrieve old Photo Stream photos from a lost iPhoto Library?

My laptop was stolen and with it an external drive that had my iPhoto library. I had an old backup and when I opened the backup and turned on Photo Stream, I saw all my old photos appear again! After a short while, it was removing old photos from the photostream and replacing them with newer ones. I'm now missing months of Photo Stream photos that I really want back. I tried creating a new library and enabling Photo Stream to try to capture those missing images, but I am not able to see anything older than Oct. I could really use some help if somebody knows a way to get those memories back...
Thanks
-Rob

I had an old backup
What kind of backup? Do you have a Time Machine Backup of your complete system from the time before the laptop was stolen?
To restore the Photo Stream images from that time you need to restore the folder
your home folder /Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/Assets
This folder contains the PhotoStream pictures that were part of the PhotoStream at that time.
To restore this folder from TimeMachine, open a Finder window showing this folder, make it the active window, and then enter TimeMachine. Go back in time in the TimeTunnel, till you see the correct date. Don't restore to the library but to a folder on the Desktop.

Rebooted Computer, can not retrieve old music.

Today and last night I've been getting BSODs (Blue screen of death) and my computer just turns off on me. This morning I went to fix the problem, but had no luck so I decided to Ctrl+F11 (reboot to factory settings) and start from scratch. I had no time to back up my music files bought from the iTunes store. If anyone could tell me how to re-download the music I bought for a cost of nothing, that'd fantastic! Thank you!

I had no time to back up my music files bought from the iTunes store.
So you bought these songs immediatly prior to restoring your HD? And you had option to do anything before restoring your HD?
Did you make a backup of all yoru important files before you did this?
If anyone could tell me how to re-download the music I bought for a cost of nothing
You cannot. Only one download per purcahse.
