Easily switching between skype accounts on same ma...

Hello,
I had an old version of Skype that allowed me to easily switch between my company's skype account and my personal account. There was an "account" tab and a "sign in as different user" option that then showed the other account I wasn't currently signed into and allowed me to switch without having to enter login info (it saved passwords and usernames). 
Now I have version 5.3.0.1093 and I have to sign out of skype and sign back in by entering username and password. Does anyone know how to do this in a more fluid way like the older version?
thanks!
Solved!

 I had an earlier version that did enable other user accounts to be accessed via a dialogue box to sign different users, why can I not do this on latest version
while I don't have solution to your problem, I may have a considerable suggestion that may help you.  You can actually run two Skype accounts at the same time in the same computer;

  • Easily switch between scratch disk locations?

    I have a project which I need to edit and it's going to take up a lot of room as it's shot throughout the summer and will contain hours of footage. I already have a hard drive devoted to all of my current editing projects (lets call that Drive 1) however this new project will be so big it needs another drive entirely. I have installed a hard drive (Drive 2) into my Mac Pro just for this new project.
    I know by going into FCP > System Settings I can designate a new scratch disk on Drive 2 however I have a question.
    I want to upload this project to Drive 2 at various points throughout the summer but at the same time I still need to upload and access my other final cut pro projects and content on Drive 1.
    How can I easily switch between the capture scratch disk locations and make sure that content is being uploaded and rendered in the right location? I want to make sure I do this right before I add any new content to Drive 2.
    Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks for your reply.
    So if I want to upload, edit etc content to Drive 1, I just unselect all of the Drive 2 preferences in FCP > System Settings and vice versa Then when I want to use them again I just re-select them?

  • Switch between google accounts

    My girlfriend and I use our z2 with our own Google accounts. How can we easily switch between then so we can see our own gmail, chrome bookmarks etc?

    I guess on google play you should be able to change from one to another,about gmail and chrome,I am not sure.Logout from the one you are on and login to the other.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

    how do I switch between windows in the same programme?  I know that I can use Command tab, however this takes you through all of the programmes that I'm using. What I need to do is have a shortcut to switch between windows in the same programme.  For example if I'm in Excel and have 5 windows open I want to be able to scroll between each window of Excel only with a shortcut.
    Please help!

    Command and ~ keys to tab between open windows.
    Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key.  Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

  • Switch between fullscreen windows of same app

    I have Safari open and have multiple windows that are opened as fullscreen.  I want to be able to switch between the fullscreen windows of Safari with a keyboard keystroke.  When not in fullscreen I can use Cmd-` to switch between windows of the same app but I am unable to do this in fullscreen mode and perfer to use the keyboard as much as possible.  Any help would be great.

    So far I've found that I can use ctrl-left and ctrl-right to switch back and forth between widgets, desktop, and fullscreens but I would rather use cmd-tab to switch to the app and then switch between windows in that app.

  • HT201320 How do I switch between gmail accounts

    I've just purchased an iPad and can someone pls tell me how I switch between email accounts so both myself and my mother can access our respective accounts?

    Just select the email account that you want to access in the Mailboxes window of the Mail app. Did you set up both email accounts in the Mail app?

  • HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

    i just upgraded my itunes account tonight.  i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal?  How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies?  Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
    Thanks,
    Dena

    The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
    It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

  • Easily switching between languages

    Hi, I'm new to Macbooks. I used to have (and still do, just never use it) a ThinkPad. One great thing about it is that I could easily switch between languages by pressing a couple of buttons (Control and Shift). Is it possible to do that with a MacBook or to make it possible? Or am I stuck with going to the top bar and manually switching between the languages? Thanks

    Look in the International system preference and the input pane. You'll see it at the bottom.

  • When switching between user accounts, the background desktop picture disappears and goes to just a blue background. Whats up with that?

    All fixed! It was TeamViewer that was causing the problem.

  • Switch between user accounts - graphics

    How do I set up Snow Leopard so that when I switch between user accounts the screen gives the appearance of swiveling on an axis?

    That is strange, I never noticed before, but I just tested a few scenarios, it looks like it only rotates on the first login of another user... OR... after another user logs out and you choose another logged in one.

  • With version 9.0.1 I can no longer switch between Google accounts properly

    I have a personal Google account and a Google apps account (via my employer, with a custom domain). I normally can log into either one and switch between the two using the "switch accounts" function. This currently works in chrome, and worked in Firefox until I received an upgrade to v9.0.1 today. Now the option to access the other account just isn't there anymore.
    This feature is accessed from gmail by clicking on my name in the top right nav bar and choosing "switch accounts". You must have this feature turned on in the settings for both accounts to make this work. I use this to, for instance, read all my mail in one account and use the calendar or docs from the other one.
    Anyone have the same experience? Anyone have a suggestion as to why or a solution?

    Thanks for confirming things Vivek.Wilfred.
    FYI, for future others with this problem: After a couple hours of playing around it was fixed, though I'm not sure what finally did it. Be sure that you try Google's "Sign Out of All Accounts", and not just the regular sign out option.

  • Switching between CC accounts on one PC

    Hi everyone,
    I have my own private Creative Cloud subscription - everything works great. Recently I've got the corporate account for teams from my work. Is there any way to switch between accounts smoothly? Especially I'd like to have both Creative Cloud folders on my PC available to synchronise, without uploading/downloding files through web browser.

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud forum.
    Are you planning on continuing your current personal subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If not then you can deactivate your current license by selecting Help>Deactivate.  You can then relaunch the software and choose the option to License this Software and enter the Adobe ID for the subscription you are wishing to use.
    Regarding your inquiry for the Creative Cloud Connection you can sign out and sign in with the other account.  I would recommend just utilizing the web interface at https://creative.adobe.com/ if you only need occasional access to files on your personal computer.

  • 2 skype accounts sharing same address book, why?

    My wife and I each have our own skype accounts.  When she adds someone to her address book, the contact shows up in my account's address book (on my computer, ipad and mobile phone).
    Same happens to her when I add a contact.
    The only possible thing I can think of is that both our accounts share skype credit which is auto-subscribed / topped up using the same credit card.  Could this be what is causing our address books to merge?
    In not what is and how do I undo it?
    Thanks.

    Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
    Your description sounds like you two are using the very same Skype account. Can you please check the window title of your Skype for Windows desktop application to verify the Skype name that is signed in for you and your wife?

  • HT1689 can i switch between itunes accounts on ipad as much as i want

    Is it possible to switch betweeen itunes accounts/apple id's on the same ipad as much as I want without losing what apps and movies are currently on the ipad?

    From
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • Easy switch between iTunes accounts

    I have two itunes accounts (one US and one norwegian). I frequently switch between the two when I check for updated apps and such. Now I would like to do this using only a keyboard shortcut or such to save time.
    Does anyone know if or how this is possible?

    Hello
    Did you ever find a solution to this by any chance? I know so many people in this situation with both a UK and US account - makes it so difficult to download apps from the App Store!
    You are only allowed to use the App store of the country you are actually located in.
    When Apple discovers someone doing so (and they will when they post it on Apple's website), Apple can (and have with others) locked the accounts so you no longer have access to anything purchased with those accounts.
