Contact shows as online when I log in but then goe...

Recently I've noticed that one of my contacts appears as being online when I log into skype but almost immediately goes to Away. Generally they use Skype on their phone. I have asked them about this and they have said that once they have spoken to me (usually late at night for them) they put their phone down and go to sleep. However, when I log back into Skype later the green dot appears next to their name, almost immediately goes to yellow and then if I look at their Last Seen Online status it is either very recent or the exact moment I log back in. 
Can anyone explain what is going on?

    I receive email from a yahoo account and a gmail account. thunderbird always shows a notice when yahoo mail arrives but never for gmail and the settings are the same help! TIA

    well turn it off and see if that makes a change. After all IDLE is a server technology. If Google supports it and Yahoo does not then configuring Thunderbird the same means nothing. (I have no idea if Yahoo support it or not)

    hello ptbruce, you probably only selected to open (not save) the video which will download it into windows temporary folder where it gets deleted again after it has been used. <br>you could try to right-click the entry in the firefox download manager and copy the link of the source file and try if you can download it through this url again. otherwise you'll have to contact the vendor of the video to find a solution...

  • Account "online" when not logged in

    Hi
    My partner contacted me this morning to ask if I knew my Skype account was online (he's viewig from an Iphone and I log in from a mac) I checked both my desktop and laptop computers and both showed Skype as closed applications (infact my laptop was switched off).
    I'm concerned that my account may have been hacked as he said it was online for about 15 minutes.
    Is it possible to trace login history?
    Thanks
    Taryn

    I have had the same problem numerous times.  My husband is away on business, about 12 hours ahead of us in time.  When it's 1pm there, its 1 am here and skype is showing that I am logged in, but all the computers are turned off and we are all sleeping.  How does this keep happening?  I'm wondering the same thing...is my account being hacked?

  • Security Question: showing me online when I am not

    Hello, I have a question about security. My husband could see me coming on and offline yesterday but I was not using skype and all my devices I was signed out.
    I changed the password in case I was logged in somewhere else but this has not solved the problem. It still showed me coming online & offline.
    Could you look into this for me? Can my community manager log in and see my messages?
    many thanks

    I'm also having this issue. A friend of mine told me I was online, when I wasn't, she talked to me and, most of all, I had some private conversations in there. I don't really know if someone is hacking my skype account, but I already changed my password. I don't know if it really kicks out everyone logged in, but I've tried that.
    Skype is replacing MSN and it doesn't even have all features MSN had! There should be an option to see everywhere I'm logged in at on time...

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Macbook boots up, let's me log in, but then I can't click anything or it restarts

    This problem just started up 2 days ago, my computer died one night and the next morning when I booted it up, it wasn't working. It will start up fine and bring me to the log in screen, I can log in fine. My desktop loads up and all the files I have on my desktops are all still there, the dock loads up with all my apps (except for itunes , the icon is missing completely and there's just a blank space, when I hover over it it says iTunes). The menu bar usually shows up fine but sometimes its blank and sometimes it doesn't show up at all. Now here's the real problem: whenever I try to open an application, or even open up one of the files on my desktop, the files and dock all disappear for a second and then it all shows back up with an error message : finder quit unexpectedly. Sometimes this message doesn't even show up and everything loads back up, but the blue dot that indicates that an application is running is not next to Finder. so maybe this is a problem with finder? This is kind of an old computer and i use it all the time so I wouldn't be surprised if its finally just dying... The operating system is mountain lion but I'm not sure what number.. I can't look because I can't click on anything without it doing the restarting thing.

    Restart the computer and immediately hold down the option key. When the Mac boots there will be two hard drive icons on the screen. Select Recovery and hit return.
    The next screen will show this:
    Select Disk Utility and continue.
    In DU do the following:
    In the list at the left, select the hard drive. (Be sure to select the name that’s indented to the right in the list, not the disk name at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    When that is done, quit DU and restart the computer in the usual way.

  • Re: No Contacts Showing As Online on GE DECT 31591...

    I am facing the same problem. I cannot see the contacts on my GE Dect 6.0 phone. I am able to sign in to my account but cannot see the contacts. I called the GE Tech support and they suggested me to contact Skype for the software issue. Please help me

    Hi srik2012,
    Please be assured that your GE Phone is covered under a 12 month warranty and if the unit is deemed as defective, eBuyNow will reship them a new unit at no cost.
    The GE 31591 Skype cordless phone, as with most other Skype enabled devices has a 200 contact capacity.

    • ensure your Skype account has 200 or less contacts (clean up your blocked users list)
    • log off your Skype account from any other computer or device
    • reset ALL phone settings (User’s manual pg. 60  ”Resetting the software>Reset all”)
    • update the software on your phone (User’s manual pg. 59)
    • sign into your Skype account on your phone
    • allow 60-90 minutes for your contacts to upload (do not use your phone during this time)

  • Firefox is showing malicious activity when I log into our webmail on cox and Earthlink. Why? When I run my Security program it shows no threats.

    This happens when we use Firefox. It does not happen on Google Chrome.
    Why am I being blocked on Firefox. What can I do?
    My Security Software says that their are no threats.

    I noticed you have a Webroot filtering extension. Can you tell whether the warning is coming from that extension, or from Firefox itself? It would be helpful if you could post the specific wording of the message, or a screen shot showing it. This article has tips on screen shots: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
    To test how Firefox handles the site without the extension active, you could manually disable it on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. You may need to restart Firefox in order for the change to take effect. You may need to use History > Restore Previous Session after that to get back to where you were.

  • TS3989 Photostream does not show any pictures when i log into icloud control panel on my windows 7 PC

    Phototstream is turned on on iPad Air, but 0 photos show up on my iCloud control panel.  Any suggestions?  I have installed and uninstalled several times and have added icloud and photostream to my allowed list on windows firewall.

    Are the photos in your photo stream older than 30 days?  If so they won't show up.  What worked for me was to log out of icloud on the Windows pc and log back in.  Any photos taken within 30 days and less than or equal to 1000 photos should show up.
    Photostream has a limit of 30 days or 1000 photos whichever comes first.  If you take 2000 pictures today then only the most recent 1000 will show in photo stream.  If you only have 20 picture in your photo stream and they are older than 30 days then it won't show in photo stream.

  • I can load the main AOL page and log in, but then everything freezes when I try to access my mail on AOL. Seems like it might be assoiciated with Java Updater.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • MAX shows PXI card when booted into Windows but not in Hypervisor mode

    Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
    I'm having some difficulties with a Hypervisor system seeing the two Pickering 6 channel programmable resistor cards that are loaded into the PXI chassis.  When I boot into Windows mode, MAX sees them under the My System just fine.  When I then run the Hypervisor configuration software, I see them both listed, and have them assigned to the Real-Time OS.  However, when I then boot into Hypervisor mode, MAX does not see them under the Remote Systems -> Hypervisor Target -> Chassis (or anywhere else), and the drivers report not seeing any modules either when I debug my code running on the real-time system.
    Does anyone have any idea what setting or configuration I might have incorrect?  Is there any other information I can provide that would be relevant or useful to answer this question?  I'm not the main hardware guy, he just got married and so isn't available, so I'm out of my comfort zone.  ;-)  I write the software that runs on the system, though, so I'm not completely clueless.  I know we just replaced the controller in the main chassis with a faster one (unfortunately I don't have the number on hand, the simulator is down in the lab), but I also know we are using that same controller and Pickering card on a different simulator and it is working just fine.
    Any ideas?  I very much appreciate your time!
    -Joe
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nevermind, the answer turned out to be that I did not have the drivers fully installed on the real-time system.  Apparently that caused it to not recognize the cards.  I never did figure out / remember exactly how to install the Pickering drivers on the real-time side, but fortunately I was able to just copy all the files that had "Pickering" in their name from the C:\ni-rt\system folder of the real-time file directory from another simulator to this one.  ;-)
    Cheers!
