How do people call me & why am I not in the Skpye ...

Greetings all,
My Qs came up zero when searched for in this
forum & on the Skype support page; so I have to
create a post.
These are incredible stupid Qs I'm sure so let's
pretend I just rolled out from under a rock ok?
My only understanding of Skype was the name &
you made phone calls over the Internet.  That's it.
But now I need to call overseas for business, so I
signed up a few days ago.  And now I'm trying to
figure out just a few things, specifically:
Q #1:  I'm trying to figure out how do people call me on Skype?
(Apparently this is too simple to have a tutorial on.)
Q #2:  I'm also trying to figure out why my Skype name
(or email) doesn't show up in the directory when I do a
search for myself (contacts >.add contacts > search 
skype directory (in the Skype interface platform, not 
the website))?
Any help on these questions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in advance.
Newbie-too is frustrated
P.S  Already spent 90 mins seaching for these 2 simple answers.
P.S. #2:  I running Windows XP, & just have a headset with mic.  No camera.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since Skype 6.2 version it's no longer possible to search for your own Skype name.

Your friends should be able to find you if you provide them with your Skype name or registered email.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

    If you have a CDMA phone, there is no way to deactivate Call Waiting from the phone. You'll need to contact your carrier.

  • Why i can not see the columns of "Tax Category" in transaction code FS00

    Dear Experts,
          Why i can not see the columns of "Tax Category" and "Posting without tax allowed" in tab of "Control Data"  transaction code FS00?
           How can i add the columns of "Tax Category" and "Posting without tax allowed"?
    Looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,
    Merry

    Hi,
    Go to transaction OBD4, and check whether the field "Tax category" is suppressed in group "Account control" for your GL account group.
    If not, then go to OB26 and check the field status for the same field for create, change activity.

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

    I have upgrade ios 6 to ios7 on my iphone 5.  I do NOT like it at all.   I want to come back to the previous version.  why is it so complicated? Why can I not find the instruction strait from apple? This is the worst possible upgrade ever.  It make me think of when ericsson got sold to Sony....drastic PC change.
    I would like to have simple instruction on how to downgrade.
    It feel like a change that I did not ask for , ok I push the upgrade buttom, but really this is the worst update aver!

    Diavonex was not treating this as a joke. He was giving you the answer to your question in a perfectly polite and respectful way. Without the Apple ID credentials to which the iPad is locked or proof that you are the original purchaser, there's nothing you can do. The device is useless to you.

    Great exercise to document the problem like this.  It got me thinking about how an app with modules would be different from an app that does not use modules.  Solution: I moved the dummy reference of PersonPhotoView out to the main application file (as opposed to being inside the module) and it worked.  I've probably been lucky not to have experienced this problem earlier, because for most other entities I have an instance attached to my model which is linked / compiled with the main application.

  • Why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    why itunes does not sync the calendar?

    Hey ThierryWillame,
    Thanks for the question. Were these songs purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, see the following resource. If not, follow the same steps for the content, based on how you acquired it (delete and re-add).
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.

    We're just users like yourself, so we can't answer your question.  It's just how Apple designed the calendar on iPad.  There are calendar apps with more flexibility in the App Store.  You might want to explore those options.

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
