I show up as Online when I'm not

Hello, I have been having a problem lately where all of my contacts see me as online even though I'm not signed in. I have explicitly signed out of Skype on my iPhone and on my Mac. This is getting pretty annoying as people (coworkers, family, friends) think I'm online and try to send me messages or call me when I'm not online and they get upset that I don't reply. I searched the message boards for some fixes. I tried several of them to no effect. One of them had me delete my Skype folder in ~/Application Support but I had to revert it since a lot of my contacts started showing up as "Pending" (like I'd sent them a Contact Request and the had yet to reply); this was unacceptable for me. Does anybody have any new ideas on how to fix this? If it keeps up I'm going to try to sign up for a second account on another computer and keep an eye on my primary account's online status using that second account while I attempt to debug the issue. This seems like a huge waste of time to me and I'm not sure if I'd rather just get rid of Skype if it comes to that. Thank you. - nc1024

This started happening to me too recently and my boyfriend is being accusing because of it so I really just want to know how the heck do I make myself look offline because I clearly am. I just go under the skyp status drop down menu and set myself to 'offline' or will keep myself online and manually signoff of skype. I figured manually signing off will turn my status to offline. Even when I do the pulldown menu and set my status to offline he's said I was online because I received an 'offline' message from him which isn't part of skype, therefore I know I was showing myself online. That being said, if I go under the menu and first set to "offline", THEN, sign out, will it finally show me as truly offline? I hate having to do that because I like the convience of just 'waking my computer' and setting my status to online, NOT having to sign in all over again. So again, if you just varify with me the long way of making myself definitely be shown as 'offline' that would be awesome. I don't care if I have to sign in the long way so long as my boyfriend is not feeling like I'm ignoring him when I'm not ONLINE but Skype is still showing me as online urrggghhh!

    hp officejet pro 8500 a909a frequently shows out of paper when it is not.  I am .getting rub marks on the top sheet of paper from the rollers.

    Your response to my question seems to reflect a rude attitude simply because I asked this question.  In response to your response, I have no manual, and the first place I went for info was the HP website - and I got you. 
    There are three things that I need from you, and none of them is a sarcastic rude attitude.  Please provide me with the following information:
         1.  Information on how to clean the rollers.
         2.  Your name/employee i.d.
         3.  How to contact your supervisor.

  • Showing my contacts as online when they're NOT

    It's really getting into my nerves. My contact has his skype automatically answering calls from me so I can can call him even when he's sleeping without disturbing him because our skype calls always get cut after a few minutes. This has happened all the time before, it always shows that he's online even when he's not! When I call, the voice message shows up and it's getting pretty annoying. I found a solution before, I quit skype and open it again. or I look at my iPhone's skype because it USED to show if someone really is online or offline, or I sign out on skype and sign in again, or I even turn off my wifi and turn it on again. I even changed my laptop from the Microsoft Surface 2 to an Apple Macbook Air because I thought the Surface 2 was the problem. BUT NO. SKYPE WAS THE PROBLEM. I did all 4 methods even when they're really annoying to do, and they worked fine for a few days, BUT NOW THEY DON'T DO SH**. I looked at my phone's skype, logged out my phone's skype and logged in again, logged out my laptop's skype and logged in again, turned off my wifi and turned it on again, quit my laptop's skype and open it again, and again and again and again! Note that everytime I do each method, I try to call him incase he's online, but that FFFFFing video message thing shows up EACH TIME. 
    I'm seriously pissed off. Skype was the only thing connecting us because we're in a long distance relationship. Skype isn't helping at all. I am on the verge of switching from this crap to Viber because I heard viber was WAY BETTER. Fix this man. Uggghhhh!!

  • Security Question: showing me online when I am not

    Hello, I have a question about security. My husband could see me coming on and offline yesterday but I was not using skype and all my devices I was signed out.
    I changed the password in case I was logged in somewhere else but this has not solved the problem. It still showed me coming online & offline.
    Could you look into this for me? Can my community manager log in and see my messages?
    many thanks

    I'm also having this issue. A friend of mine told me I was online, when I wasn't, she talked to me and, most of all, I had some private conversations in there. I don't really know if someone is hacking my skype account, but I already changed my password. I don't know if it really kicks out everyone logged in, but I've tried that.
    Skype is replacing MSN and it doesn't even have all features MSN had! There should be an option to see everywhere I'm logged in at on time...

  • Print link on report shows 'no data found' when LOV has not been used

    Hi all,
    I have a simple standard report that queries data based on the value in a Select List. This Select List allows users to pick a year for the report. The LOV has a default of TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY').
    If I open the page using the associated Tab everything wotks OK. However, if I open the page via a button on my home page, the prink links fails:
    The page opens OK, the select list defaults OK and the report shows the correct data. However, if I click on the 'Download as CSV' or 'Print' links I get 'no data found'.
    If I update the LOV to 2010 everything works. If I set it back to 2009 evenrything works. I just cant get it to work when I open the page.
    I have tried adding computations to get this to work, but this does not seem to help.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi,
    It would depend on what has been added, if anything, to the redirect. The redirect should just function as though you had typed in a URL into the address bar and pressed Enter. The page doesn't get submitted, so any data entered onto the page itself is, unless it is already in session, lost. A button, however, should submit the page and Apex will store all values in the session. So, if the value you need for the LOV is from the previous page, then this is the preferred method - but, note, that the redirect can also store values provided the page item name and the value is included in the redirect's URL string

  • Type 4 printer driver shows color is available when printer is not a color printer

    I am working on migrating to a new Windows Server 2012 print server.  I am trying to use the new version 4 printer drivers whenever possible.  I have noticed an interesting thing.  Here is an example.  When I added a new printer, an HP
    LaserJet P3005 black and white printer using the HP LaserJet P3004/P3005 PCL6 Class Driver, under "features" it reports Color as "Yes."  Now the printer is not color and I have noticed this on all of the other class 4 drivers for black
    and white printers.  Am I missing something or is this supposed to be this way?  The printers do print fine, I just wanted to know why this is showing up like this.

    Really a question for HP since it is their software.
    BUT:  A class driver can be used for a wide range of devices.  If the core class driver HP added for the P3005 is also used by devices that support color then the driver itself DOES support color even when the device does not.   There
    are a couple ways HP could code around this.  I do see that HP's PS version of the P3005 does not have a color option in Printing Defaults. 
    I have seen this type of issue from other vendors on previous operating systems, it's not just HP nor anything specific to class drivers although a class driver would expose this when the software to constrain the feature has not been added by the vendor.

  • Podcasts showing up as saved when they are not on my computer

    I have a daily podcast I listen to.  I set the settings to delete all played episodes, and this seems to successfully happen.  When I sync my iPod touch to my computer (via USB; I never sync over WIFI), two old episodes show up under the "saved" tab.  These episodes are not even in my iTunes in the first place.  I delete the episodes off the iPod, but they show up again whenever a sync happens.

    I went into the where the files themselves are stored in the iTunes\Podcasts directory and saw that the files were there, even though they weren't showing up in iTunes.  So what I did was go into iTunes and added all the old recent podcasts—and while it was downloading most of them, those that were already on the harddrive did not download because it recognized they were there.  Then I could delete ALL of them, and the file directory was truly empty.  iPod is fine now.

  • HT1975 Why does the location on my iphone show three different places when I'm not even there?

    When I use the iphone app find myiphone- why does it sometimes show 3 different addresses and streets when locating the phone.

    Because GPS is not perfect, especially when the device is inside a building.

  • Apple Configurator shows certificate is expired when it is not.

    I am using the Apple Configurator to develop a profile that consists of our WPA2/Enterpise settings for our Apple TV's and for whatever reason it thinks the ROOT CA cert is expired which is our internal root CA which I made to expire in 99 years.  I am not sure if it is a glitch in the code or what, but it still rejects the certificate when the Apple TV tries to connect to the network.  Here is a screenshot of what I see and as an added note, no other device in our organization is rejecting the cert. The only thing we could come up with is that the software was only looking at the last two digits for its check.  Anybody have any thoughts on this matter?

    I just got the same e-mail.  My account seems to be sending and receiving emails without issue.  I think it was an error.  I received a warning and an exceeds e-mail in the same minute, but am only using 20% of my allocation.
    I'm not giving it much credence. 

  • HT1338 My mac Mini shows full hard disk when it is not really full. Shows some free space upon start up that gradually disappears without doing anything with the Mac.

    My Mac shows a full hard disk even though the disk is not full. There are several GB of unused space if I add the sizes of all the folders in the disk. Under the disk info window the free space shrinks to zero after a short period of time. It shows more space upon restart, but then it shrinks eventually to zero space available. is there a way to solve this?

    OmniDisksweeper can help you find what's hogging your disk space.

  • Why does my iPod show up in iTunes when it is not attached via usb? nor is it being charged.

    Is it something to do with how my wireless setup is set?  Or is it due to the new iOS 5 or iCloud.  Unless I have a logical answer, this is going to be a standing annoyance.

    If it's the same on the iPod, as it is on the iPhone, then you probably have "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi" enabled:
    Click on your iPod under "Devices" in iTunes and check the "General" tab.

  • Why does my printer show up as "busy" when it's not?

    The situation is this: I set up my HP Laserjet 1200 via AirPort and everything worked fine until I started printing a pdf document from a client. As it was processing, I noticed that it was set up for US Letter paper instead of A4 (my default). So I went into the printer queue and deleted the print job. I also briefly turned my printer off and then on again, because it was still flashing; trying to print the deleted job. Then I changed the page setup in the document, and pressed "print" again. The printer icon started jumping up and down, and I was told in an error message that it could not connect to the printer: it was busy. It was not!
    I have temporarily connected my printer back to my iMac, but would like to have it working through AirPort instead, so any help would be much appreciated!

    If it's the same on the iPod, as it is on the iPhone, then you probably have "Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi" enabled:
    Click on your iPod under "Devices" in iTunes and check the "General" tab.

  • Application Manager Shows Muse as Installed and It's not

    How come the Application Manager for Creative Cloud, shows Muse as installed when it's not.  I previously uninstalled Muse through Windows 7 Add/Remove progams.
    How do I fix this.

    Hi Princess0333,
    I would double check the list in Programs and Features to ensure Muse is not listed, If it is, run the uninstall again, if it isn't, you'll probably need to uninstall all Creative Cloud apps and then run to clearer tool to ensure everything is removed and then reinstall everything.

  • HP AIO Remote shows wireless printer offline when it is online and can print to it.

    HP AIO Remote installed on my Windows 8.1 Yoga 2 shows my wireless printer is offline, when it is online and I can print to it wirelessly.  How can I get it to recognize my wireless printer is online wirelessly?  AIO Remote will only recognize the printer is online when the USB in connected to the Yoga 2.

    Hi rpmcintyre,
    Thank you for the additional information.  I apologize for misunderstanding. I just want to confirm that the HP AiO app that you downloaded onto your Windows 8.1 computer is showing your printer as offline when you are able to print wirelessly to the printer.
    I have two different documents for you.  The first one is How to Use the HP AiO Remote App for Windows 8.  It has a FAQ section at the bottom of the document with trouble shooting steps.  I have also included the Supported Printers for the HP Scan and Capture App.
    If the above documents don’t assist you, would you please let me know which make/model/product number of HP printer that you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
