Getting old chat history for old skype version

Hey guys, I received a messages today that I HAD to upgrade my skype messenger  and was unable to sign in.... I have very important chats with certain documents sent to me on the previous version. Is there anyway I will have access to my chat history if I download the new Skype... Or am I out of luck. Please help

You should be able to make a copy of the main.db file from your current skype and import it into the new version. It worked for me a year ago when I was in a similar situation (had to get a new computer) - but this new version doesn't seem to save as much history though, so I'm not entirely confident in that answer. It definitely won't hurt to make a copy of the main.db file and try it though.You can find it by typing "%appdata%" into your search bar and clicking on the "Roaming" file. From there you should be able to find the Skype folder. Mine's kinda messed up because of issues I've been having recently so I can't say where exactly within the Skype folder you'll find it, but it should be fairly easy to locate in there ^^

  • How to get item field values for old versions?

    I need to be able to query old field values from previous versions of items in a SharePoint list. I can't execute code on the server (it needs to work with SharePoint Online/O365 for a start).
    So far the ONLY API I've that lets me do this is the lists.asmx GetVersionCollection SOAP call.
    This lets me specify a single field name and returns an XML structure with the values for the various versions, along with the modification time and who made the change - but NO reliable way of actually identifying *which* version (i.e. an ID or label). That
    is, if I know I need to fetch the Title value from version 512 ("1.0") of item 1 in list "Documents", I don't see how to reliably parse the results to determine which entry is version 512. While they may be returned in order, in many cases
    the entries are actually missing when there was no field value present (or perhaps when the field hadn't been created yet). I've tried comparing the Modified date to the Created date of the corresponding FileVersion item (which I can get via CSOM or REST),
    and while it works some of the time, it's not reliable. I've also looked at the output from the lists.asmx GetVersion API but I don't see how that's useful either, as the Created property for all versions always seems to be just the date the file was originally
    created.
    It does seem odd to me that there's not a neat way of doing this - if I need to return information for several fields but just for a single version, I have to make a whole lot of requests that return far more info than I need, and then I need to figure out
    how to parse the returned text in the case of, say, multiple-value taxonomy fields etc.
    Anyone tried doing anything similar here?
    Thanks

  • Deleting/clearing chat history for one single cont...

    I want to delete/clear chat history for one single contact!
    I want to see this option with the next update! I also do not want the complicated 3rd party solutions!
    What's the reason of not providing this easy thing for so many years? 
    You are not the one! I'll switch to Viber, if you insist on this!!!
    The real pain is having no clever solutions for the paid-service you own.

    Weird, so after clearing the cache a url using ajax
    like this works
    http://www.abc.com/?a=b
    and this does not
    http://www.abc.com/
    Unfortunately, since each application running its own server will handle pages differently and have backend scripts that process the requests, there is not a whole lot we can do in the browser but clear the cache. It would require resources beyond this forum. If however, you can get in contact with the developer of that application and ask if this is expected, we would be happy to work with an example.
    Please let us know how you would like to move forward with the investigation.Or if you would like to investigate further you can try the fake item in this add on to view the HTTP header in more detail (plain text as well): [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/http-resource-test/]
    Please let us know if this helps.

  • Approval History (Workflow History) for a particular version of the PO

    Hello Everyone,
    We are using SRM 5.0 with ECS.
    We need the Approval History (Workflow History) for a particular version of the Purchase Order.
    Is there a way to get that?
    Any FM or table which can give the Approval History for a PO?
    Regards,
    Khushbu.

    LOGIKNR is assigned to only currently installed devices (see entries in EGERH, you will understand). So if you are looking at a record in EGERH and if the field BIS is in future, that is the record that will have the LOGIKNR. All the older records will not have that link. A device is always an equipment and LOGIKNR is always assigned to only installed devices. All other devices do not get that number. Only when you install a device, you will have information like device install date, device location etc. So it is relevant in the other case where device location was also needed.

  • View chat history for all users and prevent them f...

    "I need to be able to view chat history for all users in the organization and prevent them from deleting their chat history.  This needs to be done form a centralized admin portal and not on each workstation. I don’t see that as possible with Skype for Business.  If it is please let me know. That is a must-have. The rest I can work around. "
    Can anyone please provide documents that confirm if its possible or not.
    Thank you

    You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

  • No button to view old chat history

    For some reason there's not button "from the beginning" -- only up to 6 months (right now it's to 28th of April, I think), even though there are message that were sent in 30th of March, for example (I can see them only by keeping scrolling up a mouse wheel).
    In one case I can't view old messages at all, because there were no messages after 28th of April (so I can't scroll back up to March). SkypeLogView and Skypious has found them, so my chat history is not deleted or corrupted.
    Here's screenshot:
    Where has "from the beginning" button gone?

    Unfortunately, I don't have any other computers around so I can't check it. 
    And I have used 3rd party software only after I encountered this problem, so they can't be reason of possible corruption (if it exists).
    Yes, I can scroll up after "6 months", but it stops when I scroll up to the 1st of April (but in one chat it still has shown message from 30th of March (which is probably one of the oldest dates SkypeLogView and Skypious could find).
    Could it be that 30th of March is not "old" enough date to make "from the beginning" button appear? 

  • *Extremely* slow to open conversation with a large chat history. Win7, Skype 7.0.0.100 Desktop

    I am running a fresh install of Skype version 7.0.0.100, directly downloaded from the Skype website and am experiencing frustrating issues opening a conversation with a large chat history.
    Skype will just freeze and hang while I assume it is loading the history. Never noticed any issues before until I received the updated UI. This doesn't happen with contacts with little to no chat history. I am not sure if this only happens once per session but I do seem to recall previously it has happened again during the same session.
    I have not yet received the update on my personal PC so can't yet comment on whether or not this happens on Windows 8.1. Any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is very frustrating.

    I had the same issue since upgrading to Skype 7. My main.db file is about 200MB. I had a chat with Skype support today. Looks like they were able to fix the issue by removing some config files. Here is what they did:Quit Skype completely (right-click on the icon in the bottom right corner and select Quit)Go to %AppData%\Skype folderDelete shared.xml fileOpen the folder that corresponds to your Skype nameIn that folder, delete config.xml fileStart SkypeFor me, these steps fixed the issue. It took some time for chats with large history to open for the first time, but they were opening quickly moving forward (unlike in the past, when they again were opening slowly after swtiching to them in 15 minutes or so).

    Apple does not sell parts. You may be able to find something out there, but what you will get is either something stripped from a damaged phone, a knockoff, or marginal parts that failed factory inspection and are now being illegaly sold.

  • Is there anyway to either trade in your old Macbook Pro for a new version, or get a new power cord when the old one has been damaged?

    Well i was just wondering.. since i do have a older version of the Macbook Pro.. and the fact that the power cord has been damaged

    You can always get a price on what an Apple affiliate would give you for your old MacBook Pro by going to http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card/faq.html and reading the instruction for the reuse program. Or you can sell your old one on eBay (that's what I did - you'll get more for it). Apple doesn't do a simple trade-in.
    Your cheapest route is just to buy a new adapter. If you don't know which adapter to get, call Apple and they can tell you, or visit your local Apple Store. They're about $80.
    Good luck,

    Hi, Praveensam2, and welcome to the Community,
    Please note that call history is available only on the computer or laptop where the Skype files are located.  You might see if the chat logging freeware software offered by NirSoft may be of use to you.  http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/skype_log_view.html

  • How do I update my old Organizer catalog for a new version of the program?

    When you install a new versiobn of the program and start the Organizer, it will usually give you a pop-up asking if you want to convert the catalog from a previous version. However, if that tool doesn't automatically launch, contributor Barb O offers this manual solution:
    Go to File menu Catalog command and you will see a button for Convert. Click that convert button to start the catalog conversion process manually.
    Note that IF you have more than one catalog, each one converts separately.
    BEFORE you start your new program, go to your old Organizer's catalog and select:
    -- Catalog > Repair
    -- File > Reconnect > All Missing Files
    -- Catalog > Repair (again)
    The logic here is that a "cleaned up" prior version catalog is less likely to have problems during the upgrade process.

    I recommend you ask that in the PSE forum. I'm sure there is some import/ export hocuspocus involved...

  • Where can I download Premier and Photoshop Elements 10.0?  Or can I use my old serial numbers for the new versions?

    I have changed computers since purchasing these programs in 2012 and want to install them on my new machine.

    You should deactivate them on the old machine if you no longer intend to use them there.  Serial numbers are version specific so yours will only work with version 10.
