Keep Getting "Skype Home Unavailable" on Startup

Hello...
i have been getting the above message for two weeks ... downloaded lastest Skype (7.0.60.102)
no change ...account is paid up to date.... Help?

I have no idea what it is. I don't recall installing anything. It seems to be this... Cacidi Systems - Products
I don't recall buying that... in fact I know I didn't buy it... not for $119 euros A MONTH! Is this something that Adobe added? Then they should fix it.

"Skype Home Unavailable"

I've got this problem for more than a year
every time i enter skype this is what i see
"Skype Home Unavailable
Skype home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
its easy to start a conversation on skype:
-Choose a contact and start talking
-Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS"
i can call contacts, text them, change profile pictures and do what ever i want
the only problem is with Skype Home
doesnt work...
i got Windows XP
and the fact that i got this problem for more than a year shows you it has nothing to do with updating Skype
how can i fix this???

IE8 is the latest version for Windows XP.
Try this:
Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
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.
What do you see now when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?

Skype Home Unavailable for weeks - what can i do?

Hello,
Please could you help? Since updating my skype on my Windows 7 laptop, i've been unable to make / receive video calls on my laptop (i do not have a smart phone or a tablet). The message i have on my home page is "Skype Home Unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts." I have Windows 7 & 64 bit version, Service Pack 1. I have tried your troubleshooting help on your support page and disabled the compatibility mode as advised and i have rebooted my laptp to no avail. Your help pages extensively cover problems with Windows XP (a downgraded version of mine) or Windows 8 however not much is mentioned about windows 7. My daughter in Australia has been trying to call me and i would really like to see on a call with skype.
Any help would be grately appreciated,
Many thanks
Allen

Your connection status on Skype is Offline. When Online, the status icon next to your name must be solid green with a white checkmark inside. Try to change the status using the dropdown arrow next to this icon.

Keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files"

keep getting a popup window stating" startup disc almost full, need to delete files", what can i do to help with this, i generally have only photos in iphoto, some imovies, and a small amount of documents

You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
Other things you can do to gain space.
Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

I keep getting the message that my startup disk is full, yet I have about 300GB of space left on my HD? Any solutions for fixing this problem?

I keep getting the message that my startup disk is full, yet I have almost 300GB left on my hardrive. I have emptied the trash on my desktop and in iPhoto, and I have removed unnecessary programs. The only way I can get the message to go away is to restart my computer. If I let the computer go to sleep, I get the message back when I start using it again. Any suggestions?

Mountain Lion Recovery
Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys. This will take you to the recovery drive.
Select Disk Utility & hit Return.
In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).
=======================
Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Slimming your hard drive
Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.

Keep getting hardisk crash messages at startup

keep getting hardisk crash messages when i startup. have run software programs which do not seem to indicate problems once I have logged in

WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM
MESSAGE COMES UP WHEN TURNING ON COMPUTER (PRIOR TO WINDOWS LOADING)
RUN DIAGNOSTICS SUCH AS CHECKDRIVE 2012, PC HEALTH BOOST, PC HEALTH ADVISOR
SMART Hard Disk Error
The SMART Hard disk check has detected an imminent failure. To ensure not data loss, please backup the content immediately and run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics
Hard Disk 1 (301)
F2 System Diagnostics
Enter - Continue Startup

At present, system seems to be loading and running programs OK after Enter gets to Windows login. Using System Diagnostics (F2) route starts Hard Disk checks but they never seem to finish (bogus ?)
Not sure if I have a real problem or not as the diagnostic programs that I have installed/run seem to indicate no problem

Keep getting Skype has stopped working message

This started last night (2/13/12) .. I keep getting a message saying Skype is not working. I have tried everything I can find online! I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times .. it wont uninstall in safe mode .. I have tried the (run - %appdata%\skype) and that didn't work .. I looked in my event viewer and found this code ( http:// schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events… ) but still have not been able to figure out how to fix this issue .. I signed on with another computer to my account so I know its working .. any thoughts?? Please help

Skype home unavailable and not letting me make cal...

I have windows 8 on my desktop. I just downladed Skype so it is the newest version. I can sign in however the home page is unavailable, I can't add contacts, or make calls. I have disabled any automatic updates still not working.

Try first 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.

I keep getting skype messages from men wanting to ...

Every day I get contacted by men wanting to make contact with me. I find this invasive and want to stop it. How can I make myself invisible so strangers cannot skype chat me in this way? It is driving me crazy. I decline but cannot remove them from view as having contacted me.

You can try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
but ultimately, you may need top contazct Vodephone since: 1) It is an SMS message, and consequently part of its servioce, not Apple's; 2) The messages appear to be from them.

All contacts offline and skype home unavailable?

Today i got on my computer to play some games with my friend, so i started skype up. It opened and i saw he was offline, which was strange because he leaves his skype on online. So i opened the contacts tab, and every single contact was offline, even Echo sound test was offline. I tried reinstalling skype and it didnt work. I tried once again. didn't work . Im going to backup my skype folder and delete anything skype related after my uninstall. Then im going to reinstall it, and hopefully that will fix it. I am open to any answers, and I hope i'm not the only one getting this error.
Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help

If you are on one of the latest Skype versions (>6.3), then do also this:

Restart Skype.

Thanks for your help! It worked and now my skype is correctly identifying who is online. I appreciate your help!

I keep getting a Gray Screen at Startup on my imac

My imac suddenly went gray while watching videos and now it keeps going gray at startup.
I tried a safe start (holding the shift key at startup) but that didn't work.
Any suggestions please.
BTFrustration.

This worked for me: from apple support....
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
