I accidentally wrote the name wrong and i need to know how i can change it because i cant mak a new account with the same e-mail

Hi,
Skype does not permit account names to be changed once they are created. You can change the name which appears on your profile, but you can not change your account name. The other option could be to abandon the account you do not wish to use, and start a new account.

My Contacts File in Applications has lost all name and addresses - how can I retrieve them?

Out of the blue my Contacts File in Applications has lost all my names and addresses. Is there any way I can retrieve them? On my back-up systems they don't appear either. Panic!

Hello again
Alothogh I could not find help on any of the Communities (that I could acyually understand) - I haven't a clue what I have just done but ALL my addresses have now shown up in Contacts. Wish I knew what I had 'clicked" to achieve this - but as I have been "clicking" just about everything in sight - I am not sure what did the magic trick.
Maybe, although I have answered my own query, someone could perhaps tell me what may have happened? I THINK it was something to do with iCloud --- which is something I don't understand AT ALL!
Cheers, Lecia

TS3988 i have an old icloud account and i really dont remeber the account name and password how can i get access to it

i have an old icloud account and i want to access it on my iphone

As posted earlier, you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking on the Find your Apple ID on the bottom right. If you are able to find the ID, you can then reset the password here:https://iforgot.apple.com/, allowing you to access your iCloud account again.

"Your skype name and password were not recignized"

Hi,
Can someone please help me? I'm trying to login using my usual login name but it says "Your skype name and password were not recignized". I used it few of days ago and it was fine until last Sunday (04-Dec). I've already contacted support team 2 days ago but they don't seem to care too much!
Can someone explain me what is going on?
Details for this account are:

Hello,
CS should have responded by now. Let me know if you still have no response and I will escalate your issue for you. Your account may have been compromised.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

Skype name and contact list

Dear All,
I had to change my password. Unfortunately my skype name was changed, too.So, I lost my skype contact list. How can I get back the contact list and my previous skype name?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked). If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password.
Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

If I use more than 1 skype name and password, do I...

I have several skype names, and if I want to use more than 1, do I need to have a separate account for each name, or do the minutes purchased apply to my email address, not to the skype name?

Hi, sunandfun7, and welcome to the Community!
Each Skype name is a different account, so anything purchased by that account can be used only for or on that account. In other words, purchases are tied to a specific Skype account, not to an e-mail address.
Kind regards,
Elaine

All I know is my Skype name, and the e-mail is no ...

I created an account for my father in law a long time ago, so that hencould talk to his grandchildren. This worked fine, until he got a new computer, and we should log in again. The password is not what we thought it would be, and we don't remember which mail it is registered on - but suspect this mail is no longer in use (new ISP - new mail). All we know is the skype name, and we don't have a way to recover the password. Is it possible to solve this in a good manner? Btw. The skype name is firstname.lastname, and he is the only one in the world (definitely) to have this name. Should not be much chance of misuse of the name... Any ideas?

if you don't have a purchase history, it is not possible to request for a new password for that account. However, if it will remain inactive for at least 6 months I think, it will be tagged as inactive and will be removed from search results.
