I can't sign in into Skype

My laptop recently broke so I had to switch to my old PC but I can't sign in into Skype. I changed my password and I can sign in just fine on my tablet. My internet connection is working normally. Tried installing some older versions but it didn't help. I have the same OS (Windows XP) on my PC as I had on my laptop.
When I try signing in with my microsoft account I get an error saying 'Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again.' and when I try signing in with my skype name it says my details weren't recognized. (I usually have problems singing in with my skype name everywhere - my tablet or the skype website, but my microsoft account works just fine on those)
I wonder if anyone can help me with this? It's really inconvenient to do not be able to use Skype on my PC.

Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings:

Next reset LAN settings:
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
Next clear all Temporary Internet Files:
Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

Can't sign in into skype after signing out of emai...

I am writing this for a friend who is running Windows7, and has the latest version of Skype.
After he has checked his email, whether it is hotmail (outlook) or bigpond, he is unable to sign into Skype. The circle in the centre of Skype just keeps spinning and will not sign in.
If he tries to sign into Skype before using his email clients he is able to sign in straight away.
Also if he shuts down his computer after reading email and then restarts, he can sign in with no problem.
Has anyone any idea why this is happening?
Thank you in advance.

i have avast and use windows firewall. i have uninstalled avast then tried signing into the skype app and still stuck on the sign in screen
I was even on customer support chat and gave her permission to remotely access my comp. She worked on it for over an hour and I still get stuck on the blue signing in screen. Y'all seriously have some work to do with this app. A few of my friends are having the same issues also, so now I know for a fact it is not something to do with my comp, antivirus or firewall settengs. I have unistalled and reinstalled Skype 6 times already. Now I know why I used Yahoo messenger for so long. I never had any issues with it.
Reboot your computer in Safe Mode with Networking and then try to start Skype.

Try to reset all Skype settings:
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Is there any way to contact Skype Support? I didn't manage to find it.
Thanks again.
The problem is with your Internet Explorer and JavaScript. The new login screen, introduced with Skype 5.5 version, is not working on computers where Internet Explorer and javaScript are not functioning properly. This procedure will enable the old login screen, which does not require Internet Explorer:
Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open C:\Program Files\ folder. If you have 64-bit Windows then it should be C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder. Find the Skype folder and then Phone. Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" (or with (x86) if you are on 64-bit Windows). Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read:
"C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /legacylogin
Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Can you now login to Skype?
Note, that this is a temporary solution only, because some other options, as e.g. Add a contact, may still not be working in Skype.

Actually, that means you've reached the limit of three new iCloud accounts on this device. The only way to fix is to create the new account on a computer or another iOS device, then setup the account on your existing device.

Can't sign in to Skype!

Well, I downloaded the newest version of Skype, and now nothing will work at all. I can't sign into it, and haven't been able to for about four or five days now. I have followed all of the suggestions I understood, and compeltely uninstalled and reinstalled Skype at least three times, and I'm just not sure what else to do. Every time I try to sign in, a little spinny circle shows up on the login window, as if it's loading, does that for about three minutes, then tells me it cannot connect. Any suggestions?What Firewall and Antivirus applications are installed on your computer?

You can try this, but eventually it might be necessary to uninstall IE10 and reinstall IE9. Go to Windows Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click on Command Prompt, select 'Run as administrator'. In the Command Prompt type: cd c:\windows\syswow64 and press Enter. Next type this and then press Enter: regsvr32 jscript.dll Next type this and press Enter: regsvr32 jscript9.dll After each Enter you should receive a message saying that DllRegisterServer in XXX.dll succeeded. Reboot your computer. Make now the test showing if your Internet Explorer can execute JavaScript. Open in your Internet Explorer (no other browser but only IE 32-bit version) this page: http://www.mistered.us/test/alert.shtml Click on the “Simply Click This Button” button and watch the response.

I have my apple id, but i can't sign in into app store. What is the problem? I can't update my app...

I can use my apple id in itune and other other idevice, but in my macbook pro i can't sign in to my app store to download or update anythings. Anyone could help?

Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID, nor can they be updated using any ID other than the one used to originally obtain them. If the apps you're trying to update were obtained with a different ID than your current one, you have no choice but to use that ID.

I can't sign in onto Skype on Windows 8.1

So I recently got a Windows 8.1 computer, so I decided to use Skype, however I used the "app version" of it, and did the process needed (e.g Link microsoft account with skype account etc) however personally, I found the app version quite confusing and it lacked the group call option, which I use often. So then I decided to to download the Desktop version of Skype, so I did so, and signed in; however it didn't seem to work and it would give me the "loading white circle". So I thought it has something do to with the app version, so I deleted it. (and I was still signed in at the time, if that helps). However, I was still presented with the loading white circle. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Desktop version and even downloading older versions of the program.
So I thought I should sign in with my Microsoft account, since I did link up with it. However, it presents be with "Sometimes the internet gets a bit sleeping and takes a nap. Make sure it's up and running again then we'll give it another go." Which was strange, since I was indeed contected to the internet.
So, I also deciced to unlink my Microsoft and Skype account by using my old computer and then signing in, but that failed as well.
So, I'm kind of stumpted on what to do at this moment.

Mid 2013 Migration - Can't Sign Directly Into 2013 FE Server

Migration to 2013 almost complete. While testing ran into the following scenario: 2010 FE Standard Server, 2013 FE Standard Server, 2013 Edge Standard Server. DNS entries still pointing at 2010 FE server (sipinternaltls, lyncdiscover, admin, dialin, meet,
sip, sipinternal).
If I sign out of Lync, go to cog - tools - options - personal - advanced - and set my internal server name to the 2013 FE standard server, I cannot sign in. Replication status between the three servers is "true". If I check the sign-in logs, I
get the following:
1 Login: FAIL (hr = 0x1)
1 server(s) returned
Server: "2010 lync server".domain.com:5061, internal, discoveredadded to list of auto-discovered servers
signin to server=<empty server data>
   redirectedServersList="2013 lync server".domain.com, internal;
   autoRetryByErrorCode=1
   withRescheduleHint=0
   withAutoRetrials=0
   Login failed with permanent error or no auto-retrials
Part of the errror makes sense because the DNS entries are still set to the 2010 server. What I do get is that I'm pointing directly at the 2013 server which seems to be working just fine, why would there be connection errors?

Hi,
Did the issued user homed in Lync server 2010 pool or Lync server 2013 pool?
If the user homed in Lync server 2010 pool, then when you point to Lync server 2013 pool with manual login, you will fail to login.
If the user homed in Lync server 2013 pool, did the user move from Lync server 2010 pool or create a new user in Lync server 2013 pool? You can try create a new user in Lync server 2013 pool to have a test.

Can't sign in on Skype for Mac 7.2.412 on OS X 10.10.1

upgraded my OSX to 10.10.1 and after the update, no matter what account I use or after many password resets, I am unable to sign in, getting the message "Sorry we didn't recognize your sign in details. Please check your Skype name and password, then try again." Is anyone else having this issue? And if so has anyone figured out a fix? running a macbook pro retina

Same problem here on 10.10.2. I even went and merged my MS account and my Skype account to see if I could authenticate that was but no such luck. I know that my details are correct since I can login to the web site just fine, I just can't use Skype on my Mac. This is a complete blocker.
