Help with a group issue when logging out of Skype

If I exit Skype then restart it and log back in, I can't access some groups. Clicking on them in the recent tab will set my focus back to what I was already on and won't display the chat at all. The only fix I have found is to reinstall Skype.
Anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?

I'm guessing this is pre cloud groups. When in a chat group type /get name in the chat. If the reply starts with a 19: , your in a cloud based chat, if it starts with #skypename you're in a p2p chat.
The newest versions 6.22 and above uses cloud chat the lesser ones do not. If the chats are p2p, you might want to downgrade to the 6.21 one.

Help with occasional system locks when logging out or rebooting

Basically what's happening is occasionally when logging out, restarting, or rebooting from an X session, I get a total system freeze. The screen goes blank and there's no input possible. I'm not seeing anything in the logs. The card is using the xf86-video-intel driver and used to work fine with the i810 driver.
There are some similar threads around like this one:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65469
but it's still somewhat different. For me it only happens occasionally and I lose complete control of the system. This was happening when starting from GDM, and is now happening from starting either with 'exec startlxde' or 'exec ck-launch-session startlxde' (current). GDM is gone now (Hurray! Whoopy! Yahoo!)
One of the solutions listed in the above thread was to remove the vga= line from the kernel command in menu.lst. I don't have that. Another solution was to add it. I didn't try it yet. If this were the problem, wouldn't the behavior be consistent?
It's worth mentioning for a bunch of attempts yesterday I couldn't log in with startx, and I was getting a number of different errors in Xorg.0.log. Today it's working. I have no idea why; It's the same xorg.conf and same software as before.
I'm out of ideas. Got any?

I really could use some ideas with this. The machine in question isn't in my possession very often and it needs to 'just work'. I've since removed everything from lxde except for the panel and am now using a straight openbox session.
The machine only blanks when shutting down, logging out, or restarting. I do have control over the power button, so it will power off. Unfortunately this just kills it, so the file system is uncleanly mounted. Eventually this is going to kill data (if it hasn't already).
I want to reiterate that there is nothing in the logs that everyone isn't seeing with the intel drivers. I've been through countless bug trackers, as well as threads here and elsewhere. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this machine to close gracefully? If I can't get X/intel to play nicely, is there something I can do to get the power button to close the system properly?

Blue Screen with Turning Wheel appears when logging out

This started happening when I partitioned my HD to run Windows, but continued after I reset Boot Camp. When I log out, rather then going to the log in screen(shared computer), the screen turns blue and a small gear wheel starts turning in the bottom portion of the screen. After about 10 minutes, it stops turning and appears to freeze. It takes almost half an hour to an hour to log back in once the blue screen disappears. Is there anyway to get rid of this?

[SOLVED] gdm issue when logging out

Hello
I'm having some problem with gdm, at least i believe it's gdm, everything starts up fine I'm able to login and use my gnome desktop perfectly until I get tired and want to logout, shutdown or just restart my graphical environment with ctrl + alt + backspace. When I try to do this I get a black screen and after a short while my computer reboots.
Any ideas what's causing this, or how I can solve it?
Thanks

Solved the issue by my own, noticed from other applications that they had trouble saving their settings i my home folder.
Then I noticed that I wasn't owner of my home folder after setting myself as owner it worked like a charm.

Strange Issue When Logging Out

Hello,
I noticed the other night when I was shuttingdown, the little popup that asks if I want to reopen windows seemed to change and show blue "Shutdown" rather than the graphite color which I've chosen as a general color scheme. It seems ok now, but was wondering if anyone had ever notcied this with their MBP running Lion 10.7.3?
Thanks!

Have you looked under System Preferences -> Security to see if the "Logout after X minutes of inactivity" box is checked?

When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, display gets black and a weird pixelation when I move the mouse

When "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, and those X minutes pass by, my MBA logs out. After that, when I want to use it again, I found that display is totally black and if I use the touchpad, then I can start seeing "what is behind" that black screen (Login Window), like you can see on the picture:
I took it to Tech Service and they didnt find out any hardware issue. Any ideas?

I recently found out that this only happens when DISPLAY is set to go to sleep minutes before the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity". I had "Display sleep" option set to 5 minutes and "Log out after 10 minutes of inactivity" and this causes the display to go to sleep first (screen goes black) and then, 5 minutes later, it logs out.
If "Display sleep" is off and "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" is on, the issue does not replicate. So Im thinking it has something to do with the screen being black at the moment it logs out. Can you try and replicate that?
I will be checking the thread you suggested and hopefully oudgrad1764 can find a solution. Thanks a lot.

Network Issues When Coming Out of Sleep

I purchased a 13-inch Macbook Pro about a month ago. I'm running OSX 10.6.4.
Last night I started experiencing issues. Whenever I close my laptop, it goes to sleep fine. However, when I open it to begin using it again, it's unable to find my wireless network. It searches for a while, and then tells me my Airport is off. When I go to turn it on, the button will either not do anything, or the laptop will lock up and I'll need to hold down power to get it off, back on, then working again.
Usually after a restart everything is fine again, however I have experienced a few random lock ups since this all began.
Thanks for your time! Any help would be awesome.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Not sure if this is what's causing the issue but checking/adjusting this won't hurt.
Open System Preferences/Network and select your normal/home location
In the left hand column make sure Airport is at the top of the list and delete the other items listed that aren't used (you can drag items around to change order and use - to remove)
Then click the Advanced button and in the window that pops open click the Airport Tab
In Preferred Networks delete everything but your home network name
Click "Remember networks this computer has joined"
Uncheck "Disconnect when logging out"
Click OK to close that window
Click Apply bottom left then close the panel
Fingers crossed it should now see and join your home network on waking, sometimes it can take 30 seconds or so for me ...

G5 locks up when logging out and other concern

This has become a problem over the past year. I know that it is an old single processor, first of the Power Macs, legacy machine and OS. I have gone through all various check system/disk evolutions with Apple and TechTool Utilities.
Also, when I have a software glitch, I can never get the Send To Apple report to "send". I get a message that reads something along the line of 'not being able to connect to Apple'. Why, the legacy problem again? If so, I am suprized that I get iTunes and Safari updates.

I don't think it has anything to do with it being a "legacy" Mac. I have a Power Mac G5, running Leopard, and it runs quite well.
Locking up when logging out is usually caused by a process that is running and the OS is not able to quit it. It may be related to an app, or it may be a background process. If you restart (or log out and log in) and then immediately log out, does it lock up?
As a test, you can try creating a new user account in System Preferences Accounts pane. Log out of your usual account and log in to the new account. Do some things you normally do, then try logging out. Does it lock up?

Any ideas?

Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

Can someone help with this CSS issue....
http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
If you view the main page you will see that our background is
2 shades of
orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
the right and
left you wil notice that the line is higher
if you notice that it seems that there is another background
on top of the
first one..its the only thing i can think of..
the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
CSS style
html, body
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
would cause this?
is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
BODY?
ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
2008

You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
I would do this:
html, body {
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
body{
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
right than the
left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

TS2570 Please help me in this issue. when I use C hold down when mac start nothing happed

Please help me in this issue. when I use C hold down when mac start nothing happed

This causes the Mac to boot from the DVD drive. Hold the C key down between the startup tone and the logo.
(the shift key is not required).
Another way to do it is to hold down the Option key during boot and the bootmanager will show you all the possible boot devices and you can pick from there.

Cannot log out from skype

The past few weeks, no matter if I log out from skype, people tell me that I keep being online and I cannot understand the reason. I have changed my password twice but the problem cannot be solved. Any ideas people?

Why am I getting redirected to the MSN homepage (when logging out of hotmail) with third party cookies not enabled? And why are exceptions to cookies being cleared in private browsing mode?

I have the latest version of Firefox, I use Private browsing with Allow cookies but not third party cookies. Recently I have begun to be redirected to the MSN homepage after logging out of hotmail and whenever I add MSN cookies to the exceptions in cookies the list gets deleted. Can anyone tell me why, when blocking third party cookies should prevent that?

Two initial thoughts:
(1) If you look at the cookie names and content in the View Cookies dialog, are they the ordinary scramble of different names and values, or do they look like "opt-out" cookies? Some security software or add-ons may restore opt-out cookies after you clear them.
(2) If you have any extensions that make requests to those sites, it's possible they are bypassing private browsing mode, although I would hope not. Hmmm.
Unfortunately, unlike history where you can see the time that an entry was added, it is difficult to figure out when a cookie was set. But there are many cookie add-ons that might provide insight.
Alternately, you could go directly to the cookies.sqlite database using the SQLite Manager extension. This is on the nerdy side, but manageable.
(1) Install SQLite Manager from: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
(2) The extension adds an item to the Tools menu. If you do not normally use the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key to display it temporarily or press Alt+t to pull down the Tools menu.
SQLite Manager may suggest a particular database, particularly on your second and later uses. You can skip that and it will open a new window.
(3) On the toolbar (first screen shot), choose the cookies.sqlite database and click Go. This should display the database entries for all your cookies (second screen shot).
(4) Select the following SQL query text:
SELECT host AS Site, datetime(creationTime/1000000,'unixepoch') AS Created, datetime(expiry,'unixepoch') AS Expires
FROM moz_cookies
ORDER BY creationTime, host
(5) Click the Execute SQL tab, paste the query, then click Run SQL. You should get a list of sites in order by the date their cookies were set (third screen shot).
Are the dates all fresh? If they are older, something may be rolling back your cookie clearing.
