Cannot 'Sign In' to Skype on iPhone

I bought my 3GS UNLOCKED iPhone from the Apple Store in Sydney last week. I updated it to 3.1.2 and then decided to download the Skype app for iPhone via the iTunes store. I installed the app on my iPhone by syncing with my MacBook. Problem is that the 'Sign In' button is dead - the 'Create New Account' button works but I don't want a new account I want to use my existing account with my existing Skype name and contacts. I've tried deleting and re-installing the app, powering off and re-booting my iPhone, deleting the Skype app from iTunes and re-downloading, etc. Nothing works!!! I'm doing all of this at home over my WiFi network.
Is there some basic setting that I'm not seeing to get Skype to work on my iPhone? I.e. should Airplane mode be ON or OFF or does it not make any difference? Is the Skype 1.2.2 app flaky?
I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to how I might get Skype to work on my iPhone
Cheers
Tricia

Thanks for responding. I've tried having both Airplane mode and Wifi mode ON but the result is still the same - 'Sign In' button simply doesn't respond.

Cannot Sign In With Skype Name- Need To Link Microsoft Account

My skype name apparently contains an underscore. I cannot sign into Skype using my Skype name, and this is probably why.
The ONLY way I can sign is to click "Login with Facebook" on the desktop app. But when I sign in this way, it does NOT give me the option to link my Microsoft account (I've gone to "home" view and clicked the gear at top right, only says "manage hidden updates" and nothing else.
I cannot sign into Skype from anything except a desktop because "Login with Facebook" is only available there. So how can I fix this?
All I want to do is be able to sign in by typing my skype name and password- which skype will not let me do.

My parents are having the same problem. I got them a MobileMe account, but when they try to log into iTunes, it says their Apple ID doesn't exist. When they try to create a new account, it says for them to cancel and log in using their MobileMe account. Loop anyone?

In the Command Prompt type: cd c:\windows\syswow64 and press Enter.
Next type this and then press Enter:

CANNOT SEND SMS VIA SKYPE ON IPHONE

Hi. Please can someone advise me. I have skype credit, but cannot send sms' to a number which is not in my contacts list via my iphone. I can do this via my imac desktop computer, but why not via my phone? 2nd problem...it seems that you cannot reply to a skype text - is this so?

Partially. Apple support recommended that I enable "push" for this account. This fixed the problemvery nicely, but it was a HUGE hog on the device battery! I've since then disabled the "push" option for my account and Yahoo! mail seems to be still OK, although it does seem to take a little longer than expected to send even small emails.

Cannot sign in to Skype on Desktop after upgrade - cannot fill in user id and password boxes

My Skype forced me to upgrade right before a phone call today (7/12/2015) (why can't you let me go about my business first and upgrade later?). After the upgrade, Skype failed to aunch, and I received the blank screen at login. I terminated the processes, rebooted, and restarted Skype. I get the login screen, and my user ID is in the pre-filled area, but I cannot change that or type in the user ID box,, and I cannot type in the password box. I also did a system restore to a few days ago, and the same thing is ahppening. I am running the latest Skype (the help dialog works from the login screeen and confrms this)and Windows 7. What should I do?

Meanwhile you can try to make use of the “legacylogin” workaround, which should enable login to Skype using the old legacy login window. However, you will not be able to login using Microsoft account (email address). Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open this folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\ You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe). Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /legacylogin Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Try now login to Skype?

Changed my email adress, so i cannot sign in to icloud from iphone

i changed my apple id and now i cannot get into my icloud account as the new username has not updated in my phone, everytime i type the password it says: incorrect username or password, as a result of this somehow i cannot access my contacts and i am really frustrated can someboody help?

I have had the phone since Sept. 2013. And I have email my proof of purchase to apple.
My orginal, orginal, Apple ID was set up by my daughter probly 5 years ago. I'm assuming she used her Gmail account for the name. Which would make sense, because m*****@gmail.com is the one the Phone is asking for. Problem is, No one at apple can tell me What the full Apple Id is.
They said the 5 *'s doesn't mean there only 5 letters missing, Could be more or less. I don't know the Apple ID it wants.
I never really payed attention to the Apple ID. I knew the password and that was all I needed. I did try and change this back in May. I ended up with 3 different Apple Id's. When I enter those ID's and Passwords, Computer & Phone, both say "Won't unlock this phone". Instead of the standard "Wrong ID or Password". So those are all good.
Only one of those Apple ID had a icloud account, with two devices, they were two older phones I think. Both removed now.
I think my phone had my Email as the Apple ID and My daughter's Email as the Icloud ID....
Thrusday Morning all the phone would do was ask for my icloud password. (which shouldn't even be enabled)

Cannot sign in to itunes on iphone.

Each time I'm told password is wrong. Have changed it twice on desktop but when I go back to iphone it still says it's wrong. It even tells me my birthdate is wrong which is why I have to go onto my desktop to change the password. It also keeps showing my cloud email as my appleid.

You can manage your information at appleid.apple.com! And if you go to the "find out" option, this will allow iTunes store to send a verification email to you if you haven't already received one as that may be why your having sucha hassle! That same site will also allow you to change passwords etc, I would suggest writing it down as the password is case sensitive!
Hopefully i was of help Enjoy!
Cheers!

How to sign into icloud account on iphone when icloud is showing the wrong email address?

i can sign into my icloud account on pc and i can sign into my apple account on pc and phone, but i cannot sign into icloud on my iphone. icloud is showing the wrong email address on phone only and i don't see where to change it to the correct address.

Not sure what it is you did. If you have your contacts saved in iCloud (you can check them by signing into your Apple/iCloud account at iCloud.com - check the Contacts there), then changing your Apple ID will have no effect on your iCloud content. Also, when you Sign Out of the iCloud account on your device, you are given the option to keep the Contacts on that device. If you select "Keep", then when you sign back on with the updated Apple/iCloud ID, it will ask you if you want to merge the contacts on your device with your iCloud account. If you select "Merge", then it merges them.
Also, what the instructions above are having you do is change the Apple ID that the iCloud account is linked to. It is the same Apple account, you are just changing the ID itself. The iCloud account associated with that ID is not changing or being affected in any way. If you created a new Apple ID, then that is the problem. A new ID would be linked to a new/different iCloud account.
However, either way, if you keep your contacts and then merge them even if you set up a separate ID altogether (which is not what the instructions are telling you to do), your contacts would be intact.

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account?

I have an iPhone 4S and when I try to add an iCloud account is gives me an error "Cannot Sign In, The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone." Is there any way to deactivate an account? I have one for myself, one for my family and one for my work. I had all three on my iphone and then I deleted my work. I wanted to get my own person @me.com account. It wouldn't let me create it from my iphone, so I created it from my Macbook Pro. I am trying to add it to my iphone, but it keeps giving me that error. If there is a way I can deactivate my work one so I can use my @me.com personal account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer.
You should however be able to add existing accounts to your device, are you sure you aren't trying to create on rather than simply use an existing one.

When trying to sign into facebook in settings for ios6, I get an error that says "You cannot sign in from your iPhone since you have opted out of Facebook Platform." What gives?

When trying to sign into facebook in settings for ios6, I get an error that says "You cannot sign in from your iPhone since you have opted out of Facebook Platform." What gives?
More info: I've combed through the settings in facebook and there is nothing that shows I'm blocking anything from accessing it.

Sure sounds like a Facebook setting. When you look at your Privacy Settings in Facebook (on facebook.com), you should see something under "Apps you use" that says
Turn off your ability to use apps, plugins, and websites on and off Facebook. After you turn this off, we will not store information about you when you use apps or websites off Facebook.
The "Turn off" is a hyperlink that shuts down the Facebook platform. If you don't see this, or if the wording is different, you may have (inadvertently?) shut this off, and should be able to turn it back on.
Edit: The sequence to that screen on facebook.com is: Privacy Settings (from the upper right dropdown), then "Ads, Apps and Websites" will have an "Edit settings" link to the right. This is where you'll see the "Apps you use" screen.
