Contact request locked to my screen!

A request came in! But when I click to mark it, to erase it, nothing happens! How can I delete this unwanted request?

A reset may help: Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears release both buttons and await restart.

The phone is useless unless you can contact the previous owner. There is nothing anyone can do to help. If you are able to contact, the following contains instructions on what they need to do: iCloud: Activation Lock

I get unwanted skype contact requests

Hi I have set my privacy settings to receiving messages only from those on my contact list but I continue to get multiple requests a day from spam/unwanted users. I always block them but I would prefer to not receive them at all. I don't know how they see my skype account or name to be able to contact me past the security settings.
Thanks
Jennifer

Has anyone noticed that the sudden influx of unwanted contacts coincides with the closing off of MSN Messenger and Microsoft's insistence that one's original Skype entity MUST show your gender and birth date now. Reading through some of the various messages about this problem it seems to be mostly (but not always, of course) women who are getting spammed with these contacts.
Come on Microsoft/Skype... it's time that a Privacy Option is instigated to enable a user to disallow contact requests by default. Before you say this is unworkable, it just means that if you have "locked down" your privacy to only allowing, say, calls, video/share screen, and IMs from people in your contact list only, then if someone you know wants to be on your Skype contact list they would probably have asked you for your id another way and you could temporarily uncheck this option to "open it up".
And how come when the Allow IMs from... anyone/people in my Contact list only is set to the latter option, these requests still come through anyway. After all, they come as an IM.
Even if the above suggestion wouldn't be practical, it's well past time that someone starting thinking out of the box for a solution.

Unwanted Contact Requests (Ongoing history within ...

Upon reading Primemover's [Power User] ‎25-07-2012 20:39 - edited ‎25-07-2012 20:52 response to "How to Handle Unwanted Contact Requests"
(reference : http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-to-Handle-Unwanted-Contact-Requests/m-p...
I followed his/her instructions.
My Skype version (7.0.80.102) screen appeared differently than that which was displayed within Primemover's link. My screen was missing some key options such as "BLOCK" this person.
My wife suggested I right-click on either the unknown requestor's picture or name to see what options appear.
Sure enough upon right clicking both the requestor's name and picture came a drop down list of options. Looking quite a way down the list of options, I saw the "BLOCK" option.
I clicked "BLOCK this contact" for my South african 'fan'. This (apparently) immediately blocked the contact. Followed immediately with a Skype pop-up appearing complete with a 'tick' box asking if I wanted to "Report Abuse" (which I did).
Immediately the contact disappeared from my list.
I presume the report went through to Skype and will possibly result in Skype doing their privacy protection duties as Primemover suggested.
I certainly hope this is effective in reality. Hopefully my approach works for other Skype users who are also afflicted by ongoing introductions and requests from unknown/unwanted individuals or entities.
I, too, find this process both odd and expect it to be unnecessary. In my opinion this is either an oversight on Skype's programming or a knowingly enabled function within Skype for unknown purposes contrary to what Skype users either expect or choose.
My wife and I both have set our Skype Security and Privacy settings to only accept incoming requests from people we know in our contacts. Yet we both continue to be harassed by unknown entities or people whose intent is contrary to what we have configured our Skype settings to permit.
Having read many of the complaints within the extended history of associated concerns suggest this is more than an anomally within Skype. Clearly Skype is aware of this concern for years; Skype chooses to enable/permit it to continue rather than acutually support the privacy and security choices of it's users. Follow the money trail is likely the rational to enabling this affliction rather than ensuring Skype's users' settings actually function reasonably as intended/expected.

I never ever post on these forums! But this is getting simply ridiculous!
It used to just be General Napoleon-complex or whoever, and that was once or twice a month; I could live with that. Then it got to be random people at least once or twice a week. Then it built to at least one or two a day.
Today it was 5, and one of them was pure porn. ACK!!!! Totally not acceptable!!!
And I am required - note: REQUIRED!!! - to use Skype for work. Just how is one expected to use Skype for work when one is bombarded with useless, senseless requests, some of which are porn?
And what about our children, who also use Skype? I do believe that subjecting minors to porn is against the law. If you knowingly don't fix the problem and a minor is subjected to porn, that is a FELONY.
At this point, if you can't fix the problem, the result is going to be that we all start to use something else. Some of those inexpensive little webcams come with nice PRIVATE chat systems on a CD that you can install anywhere. Perhaps we should migrate to those, guaranteeing we only have people in our networks that we know - because they won't have the CD, and won't have our usernames, and someone won't allow them to find us.
Wake up, smell the coffee, and fix it, before you lose everyone. Or is that the idea?
Or does anyone from Skype or MS even read these?

Accepting Contact Requests on Windows 8

I have a brand new laptop, which of course is running Windows 8. Skype is running well on this laptop, but I have one small problem. I have had a contact request, and am unable to follow the instructions provided by Skype to accept this request, because I can't access the profile of the person in order to do so. I have right clicked the screen when in the request window, and no "go to profile" icon or text is visible. When I click on "add contact" I get a screen which is a request from me to the other person. We could be sending each other requests for ever, and not get connected! Please can someone advise me on this? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I still think skype has got a very bad direction after microsoft put his dirty hands on it.
I want to decide when to turn it on I want decide when I want to turn it off.
Why now to close it I have to run the task manager to kill it?
Please fix this mess with microsoft once forever.
Best,
Davide

Delete Pending Contact Request

I'm not seeing the right answer to this anywhere.
I made a contact request to the wrong party. It's still pending, and I wish to delete this.
Unless I click on the contact in the far left column, I can't take any action. The only two apparently relevant actions available when I right-click on the contact name are Delete Conversation and Show Profile. But Delete Conversation doesn't really do anything in this case, and there is no action under profile available to delete this contact.
So what is the solution?

on Skype main screen:
click contacts (left sidebar) > sort through contacts and find persons name > right click and hit delete contact

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

Pending Contact Request

I can't talk to my parents in another country on video Skype...because there is no way to accept their contact request! The tutorial looks nothing ike my Skype screen. So upset, it's Mothers Day and I couldn't see my mum! Please...any suggestions? Thanks...

Suddenly, after all the headache of trying to add folks and they add me, someone requested that I add them as a contact; then, what do you know the option displayed in the chat window of the requester to accept or decline; also, they were able to add me, woohoo! Then I got a couple other request which verified that request is working back to normal. That is what I'm talking about is action on Skype's behalf rather than to lose customers who do enjoy using Skype. Guess I will keep my paid subscribed phone number as a way of thanking Skype for the service and do not mind paying a SMALL fee to support the Skype platform and the technology. Hope everyone elses is working now.

Contacts App locks up every time

Hello All
I have about 300 contacts right now. I had 1700, but it killed the responsiveness of my phone so I had to pare it down, but that's another topic for another day...
Anyway, when I select the "Contact" icon from my home screen, the app opens up, I see the contacts, but the phone locks up for about 10 seconds, and then is fine. If I open my contacts from the "phone" app, it opens right up and I can browse my contacts immediately. Any thoughts?

518 contacts here. The Contacts app used to freeze up on me and shut down sometimes but now it just seems to bog a little when searching or jumping by letter. But nonetheless its a little slow.

Skype contact requests not going through to other ...

Hi,
I have this problem where I send a contact request to someone and their icon stays as a question mark and they say they haven't received the request for long intervals of time. I have four requests pending right now, with people I know well in real life that we exchanged Skype account with, and for about a week now the request just wouldn't go through to the other side. I've tried restarting and tried resending the requests.
Does someone know what the source of this problem could be?
Thanks in advance!

Solved!

I have changed all the setting to allow everyone but my contact request is not being received and calls not being answered. Both computers have Windows 8 and when I send the request it says it was send but the person does not get anything on their screen about getting a contact request, they look in recent and nothing shows, looked in IM and nothing shows. Where do they go to see they have a contact request?

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

How do I restore my ipod to factory settings, but I have a passcode lock, and my screen is broken so I can't type in my password when I connect to itunes?

Okay so I have had my ipod 4th gen for almost 2 years buy the screen has fallen out of the back casing, (I bought it as refurbished) and I am trying to reset it to factory settings, so when I get a new one I can register my device on apps/games since some apps require that you can only register on one device, but I think the thing that connects to the screen is ripped so the screen won't turn on and I can't physically touch it. What I want to know is how can I restore it with me not being able to type in the password lock since the screen is broken?
or is there a way to disable the passcode lock through the computer?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

It was changed in iOS 7. No idea if it was an intentional change or not.
Apple has not stated anything about it.

How do I get rid of the contact bar on my FaceTime screen

How do I get rid of the contact bar off my FaceTime screen. I went to add a contact and the bar comes up. Now I can't figure out how to get it off my screen. I am tapping everywhere.

I just exit (completely) by tapping on the Home button. Of course, you can also add a contact from within Face Time by clicking on the plus sign.
Do you see any occasion where you need to view the entire screen other than during a call?
