Yes, there is a Skype support team. I had the same problem on my laptop and iphone 4S. I contacted Skype support on line chat team and they walked me through the process of renaming the skype file on my hard drive. Then they disconnected Microsoft from Skype ( or something of that nature) at their end. My Skype is working again on my iphone 4S and laptop. No longer have that problem.
The steps for disconnecting from Windows is also written in this Community site.
One step I remember from the online chat is to rename the skype file on your hard drive you should press the windows icon on your keyboard and the letter R at the same time. A window will pop up then you type %appdata%. This will allow access to skype file for you to rename it. Then you unlink by following the steps on the community site . The best is to do the live chat and let support unlink you from Microsoft if you are not technically savvy.

Skype signs me out straight away
This started happening yesterday 5/9/14 in the afternoon (GMT). I was so concerned about it that I actually rebooted my laptop AND made sure I had the latest version of Skype installed!
The solution, for me, was to log into the skype website and unlink my Microsoft account. I didn't have to do anything else, but could have changed my Microsoft account password instead of unlinking,
Why is this happening to so many people at the same time and why aren't skype being more open and pro-active about informing their users?
This is pure speculation on my part, but if I was investigating it I'd start by looking into the integration with Microsoft's identity servers. Microsoft's security settings invalidate passwords after a certain duration to prevent them getting stale, which fits the symptoms. Skype login is successful which triggers a connection with the identity server at Microsoft, which fails, triggering a skype logout.
Whatever the cause, I do wish Skype would let everyone there's an unexpected issue and users should NOT PANIC. Being logged-out does not your comprimise security, it just stops you using skype!

Keep getting signed out. Camera Recording time 1 hr ahead

Anyone know how to fix the time on my camera recordings? It shows one hour ahead.
Plus I get signed out after 30 minutes even though I check the box where it states stay signed in for two weeks.
Anyone have any fixes? I sure would appreciate your help.
Thanks,

These issues have been covered here before many times. Just do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
This has been covered ad nauseam here. Please do a forum search.
Camera manufacturers, Canon and Nikon in particular, perform in-camera RAW to JPEG conversions designed to generate the over-saturated, over-contrasty and over-sharpened images that appeal to most amateurs.
Their stand-alone RAW conversion software also performs the same conversion to your RAW images.
Noise is also hidden by compressing the shadows so you don't see much of the noise inherent in the image.
Adobe Camera Raw, ACR, on the other hand, comes with default settings designed to give you the most detail possible (even if this sometimes means revealing some of the noise hidden by the camera manufacturers in their RAW conversion software), as well as the most natural images.
That being said, you can calibrate your camera to ACR and come up with your own settings to produce exactly what you want, including the JPEG-look of the camera manufacturer, and save that as your profile.
The key is to learn how to use ACR properly and to calibrate your camera to ACR.
CLICK HERE for some essential reading. (Revised edition for ACR 4.x by Jeff Schewe shipping soon.)
The ACR defaults are nothing more than a suggested starting point.
The color temperature won't necessarily match either.

Why do I keep getting signed out of iCloud on my iPhone/iPad?

I keep getting signed out of my iCloud account on both my iPhone and my iPad for no reason. Randomly I keep getting asked for my password but it is entered then I go back again and I am logged out. I am never logged out of iTunes. I have reset my phone several times, started from the beginnin, took it to Verison, I have no clue! I have even tried a new iCloud ID! HELP!!!!!

Hi Sam From ME,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would suggest restarting your iPhone and seeing if the issue continues, and if it does, try resetting your iPhone as well:

I keep getting signed out of Creative Cloud and getting reverted back to trial version

I get signed out a lot whenever I work off of an external USB hard drive. I've also noticed that I get signed out a lot whenever I plug or unplug USB devices (like Wacom tablets, USB drives, mouse, etc). I suspect that the Creative Cloud manager is monitoring my system configuration and signing me out whenever it thinks I've switched to a different computer?????
Sometimes, I get signed out when I'm already working in the middle of somthing in Photoshop CC. This is pretty frustrating and it totally disrupts my workflow. Is there any way to stay signed in to Creative Cloud?

The suggestion does/did not help. The problem is NOT that I can't log back in. The issue is that I keep getting logged OUT. I've always been able to log back in, but why do I need to keep logging in again when I'm working on the same computer? I lose about 2 minutes everytime I need to log back into Creative Cloud. If I have to log in 30 times, I lose a whole hour.
Typically, this is what happens to me. I'll be in Lightroom doing RAW processing. Then I'll get to a point when I need to bring the image into Photoshop. When I launch Photoshop (ctrl + E), I'll get a message saying I need to sign in. I sign in but then I get a message saying I need to complete my registration (which I ignore because otherwise, I'll be filling in the registration over and over and over and over again). I also always get the message to accept Adobe's Terms and Conditions again (which I've accepted many many many times already). The odd thing is, when this happens, the image does not open in Photoshop. I have to close Photoshop, return to Lightroom and hit ctrl + E again (losing more time).
Sometimes, when I sign back in, I get a message saying I'm using Trial software (huh????).
I'm a software engineer myself. I am almost positive that the Creative Cloud desktop app is using an algorithm that tries (but fails miserably) to figure out that I'm installing the Creative Cloud apps on different machines. I understand that you guys are trying hard to keep people from installing the apps on more than 2 machines, but this is an awful way to do it.
Please forward this to your software team.

Keep getting signed out of PSN.

Well I will just be playing Grand theft auto 5 Or Advanced Warfare, Black ops 2 When a Message pops up, " Your have been signed out of Playstation Network" and this has been happening to me for like a year now or so ... And it's starting to get really annoying ... And every once so often like an "Error" message will pop up while im playing a game and sign me out of Psn I've tried a lot of solutions to fix this but nothing is working ... So I finally came here for your help And it does the same thing on my brothers Ps3 i get on it every once in a while to play Grand Theft Auto 5 because it won't load online on my Playstation anymore but It will do the same thing to his Playstation ... It happens every 1-5 Minutes Maybe I don't look but it happens frequently If I was on my Playstation all day let's say it would Probably happen about 219 Times ? But all I need is your help ... Please and Thanks

Are you on PS3 or PS4 because lately PS4 on PSN has been playing up.I won't be renewing my PlayStation Plus anymore because what's the point in paying to play online when PSN always goes down? My friends list when i highlighted it it said no friends are online this was yesterday afternoon. I even did a Internet connection test on my PS4 everything was fine even PSN sign in. I'll be quite happy playing on single player. At least when Shambolic PSN goes down i won't have to get annoyed as i'll no longer be putting £39.99 out of my wallet in Sony's pockets.No more patience with Sony it's ran out they'll never ger another penny from me. I'll be £40 better off.

Why do I keep getting signed out of gamecentre

GGames that require game centre friends, I have to keep going into settings to sign in. Why?

Hey there Leana,
It sounds like you are having to sign into Game Center constantly, and the info does not appear to be saved. I recommend starting by signing out of Game Center if you are currently signed in, then closing all the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Hello seraphim,
installing"? Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, because sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
Maybe you have to activate/deactivate too, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
Good luck!

Keep getting signed out - Want accounts to stay li...

This just started happening for me yesterday on two different Windows 8.1 PCs running Skype for Desktop (6.21.0.104). I have unlinked my Microsoft account, and we'll see if that helps. But, this fails to answer an important question: what if I want my Microsoft account linked?
Also, there are messages in several places (including this FAQ) warning that "You can only link and unlink accounts a limited number of times." If I go to link it back, and this happens again, will I endanger myself with hitting this limit?

It worked all day Friday (but lacked my Microsoft account contacts, naturally). So I tried re-linking my accounts. I was on my home PC sporadically throughout the day, but during the times I was on it, Skype stayed connected. Thought it was all good until I got into the office today and tried from my work PC, when it signed me out randomly after about 3-1/2 hours.

Keep getting signed out

Creative cloud keeps signing me out of CC, and folio builder refuses to connect. Please ADOBE, FIX this, I cannot work like this!!!

Yes, we are aware of this issue. A bug has been logged and investigation is on. However this problem seems intermittent and not all users are experiencing it. Give it another try by un-installing Content Viewer, re-install, try on another network etc..

After latest update, I keep getting logged out of my email, even in the middle of reading emails!

Approximately two weeks ago, I installed an update to Firefox. Immediately after that, I keep getting signed out of my email, even while I'm in the middle of reading it or composing an email! It's very frustrating!

Check the Security panel of System Preferences and see if there's a select under the "General" tab of "Log out after xx minutes of inactivity". If that's not the case, launch the Console utility and see if there are any messages that might explain the log out.

Since I upgraded my Ipad2 with IOS6, i keep getting kicked out of Safari after I am in the middle of looking for something and on Ebay it continually kicks me back to the first item if I click to see a picture, say after I am 150 items down. Even CNN too

Since I upgraded my Ipad2 to IOS6, I keep getting kicked out of Safari after I am in the middle of searching for something. Also, Ebay kicks me back to first item if I click on an item, say number 153 or 642! Very annoying. Even CNN kicked me out back to Ipad home screen last night! How do I make it stop???

My question is this:
What is the best way of getting the pictures out of the iPhoto Library? I
Select the photos you want out and export them as JPGEs - kind = current for the current edited version - kind = original for the original
f I get access to the original folders within the library by right-clicking any photo and then being able to browse inside the library, am I going to have any problems if I copy or move those original pictures directly to a folder outside of the iPhoto Library?
Copying photos out will not be a problem if you make no errors - for me that is not a good bet - it is best to stay out of yoru iPhoto library
Would it be better to export the pictures?
Yes
Does exporting using "current" under "Kind" give you the original more safely?
No - it gives you the current version which may be the original if no changes have been made or will be the current edited version if edits ahve been made
Also, any suggestions on how to best have photos OUTSIDE of an iPhoto library organized so that iPhoto can reference them, but your backup is also organized?
In the iPhoto preferences un check the advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library"
HOWEVER - this is not recommended - it makes importing more complicated, deleting more complicated and makes replacing a hard drive or going to a new computer much more difficult - and it puts you totally in charge of your original photos - being sure that they are there and do not get moved
I'd like to have my photos organized by date in the backup as well, so that I don't have to backup all my pictures every time I add new ones, just add the latest to the backup drive.
Finally, any suggestions on what to do with pictures that you scan so that they appear by the date they were taken as opposed to the date they were scanned? Is there a way to modify the date of the photo info?
Select the photos in iPhoto and use the batch change command under the photos menu - the tiem and date option
