Log In Error "Can't log in" with my password - Win...

I log in to my microsoft account on Windows 8, usually Skype will just automatically connect.  Recently it will say "can't sign in, please type in your password" and it pops up my microsoft account information as log in name and then I type in the SAME exact password I just used seconds ago to sign into my computer and it says "can't sign in."  Then I have to go to live.login and change my password.  I have done this more than a handful of times in the past month.  It happens on my computer and also on my phone.  
As soon as I change my password, I go to my skype, type it in, and it works fine.  I am pretty sure the problem is with Skype and not my microsoft account because I can still log in to my computer and my hotmail just fine.
I am tired of having to change my password all of the time!! It happens at least once a week.  It is particularly annoying, say, when on my lunch break I would like to just call my boyfriend overseas, but since skype can't recognize my password (even though it hasn't been changed and it is usually always automatically connected) I have to go to change my password (which includes me accessing an alternative email and typing in a code and blah bla hblah" from my phone.  
WHAT GIVES ????

Have you enabled the optional "two-step verification" login option?

  • I'm logged into creative cloud, but someone else had logged into Dreamweaver, can I log them out of Dreamweaver and login using my credentials?

    I'm logged into creative cloud, but someone else had logged into Dreamweaver, can I log them out of Dreamweaver and login using my credentials?

    I'm using an iMac previously used by a past employee. It is running OS X 10.9.3. Using the CC application, I have logged out of his account and into my own. When using other applications such as Photoshop and After Effects, my account is the one displayed in the menu. When I use Dreamweaver however, the past employee's account is displayed in the menu, and when a sync is attempted, it displays his account info.
    Is there a way to use my own credentials to log into Dreamweaver separately from the CC app, or to force a sync between the CC app login and the Dreamweaver login?
    Thanks

  • IMessage Error - Can't Log In

    Using my Apple ID that worked, I recently reformatted and reinstalled Lion to clean up everything. My Retina MacBook shipped with Lion and it was working fine before (it still works on my iPhone), but after the reinstall when I attempt to sign in using my validated Apple ID to iMessage I get the following message:
    "The server encountered an error processing registration - Please try again later."
    I have followed all the reccommended troubleshooting guidelines that the commmunity has suggested, including:
    - Deleting all .plist files related to IMAgent and iMessage, iChat, and FaceTime from the /Library/Preferences
    - Flushing DNS and clearing host file to default
    - Verifying that Wi-Fi is connected, time automatically is set
    - DNS servers are set to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)
    - Restarting after applying all settings (and I even reinstalled again)
    - Verified that there are no "unknown" or iPhone issued certificates in the Keychain
    I have even put in a fake ID and password and get the same message, meaning there seems to be a connection problem where it isn't even reaching the validation servers.
    Any input would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am seeing various posts now across several Communities about FaceTime and the  iMessages part of Messages beta having issues.
    FaceTime ones seem to be about Logging in when people could before but now can't.
    Some are about FaceTime not being able to Register an Apple ID.
    Some of those about Mesage beta also seem to be about Registering the Apple ID involved.
    I personally am finding I cannot send or receive pics sent to and from iPhones (I don't have an iPad to test with)
    This points to an issue with the iMessages and FaceTime servers.
    This could be to do with a general fault.
    It could be to do with an "Upgrade" ready for the Mountain Lion release.
    At present I don't have a "fix" that works.  I also suspect it will only be solved by time

  • 10.8.4 log-in issues (can't log-in)

    I just updated my MBpro to 10.8.4.   
    I'm lucky I have another computer I can use to write this from. 
    Right now I CANNOT LOG IN.  I'm presented with the log-in screen and when I select my user (I am the only user) and enter my password - screen goes white - gives me a spinning gear - then black and back to the log-in screen. 
    I know it accepts the password because it doesn't do the little shake you get when you enter a password incorrectly. 
    I also cannot get in from the guest side either. 
    I feel like I can spend the next hour trying to log in and get nowhere... 
    thanks!

  • ORA-01012: not logged on error while Moving data file with BrTools

    Hi,
        I'm trying to move a data file to another windows drive with BrTools.
    It fails before it actually starts to move the file. The error it shows is:
    ORA-01012: not logged on.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    BRSPACE  has a command option -u to specify the Database user and password. How ever BRSPACE connects to the database as SYSDBA, you do not have to specify the user and password if the operating system user belongs to the dba group.SO check if the user is falling in DBA group with proper authorizations.

  • Can't get to log in page, can't log in to Content Server

    Hi,
    I have installed Content Server on my desktop. I took almost all of the default settings. Saw no errors in log. Both Content Service and Content Admin Service are running correctly. Since 'new' install did not work, I have also tried to 'update' it.
    Following instructions exist in install doc. The log in page itself does not come up. What am I missing?
    Go to the Content Server homepage (portal page). By default, the address is http://[host_name]/[web_root], for example http://master1/server/.
    UCM is installed in C:\Oracle\ucm\server - so what would be it's URL for homepage?
    Thanks in advance.
    Umesh

    Hi
    The correct format for accessing the portal page of CS is : http://hostname:port/webrelativeroott/portal.htm
    Before this make sure that the configurations are done properly in the webserver if apache is being used , httpd.conf.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Error, can't use scanner with in use by other application or user!!!!!!!!!

    Ive seen this over time but the only response was to re start, as well some instructions for PC  Scanner isc Canoscan lide 210OS is mac osx , mavericks and  ysemite and el capitian (beta), same issues on all O/S 's Any please help  

    Are you scanning from MP Navigator or ImageCapture?
    on the 10.9 or 10.10 computers I'd download the ICA driver and the Scanner driver, along with the latest version of MP Navigator from the website and install them, then reboot.
    http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/scanners/canoscan_series/canoscan_lide210#DriversAndSoftware
    Try to scan using MP Navigator. If you get the error, close MP Navigator and try to scan using ImageCapture. Do you still get the error?
    I'm not including suggestions for El Capitan because there aren't drivers available for it yet, so I wouldnt expect it to work.

  • Error LNK2019 occurred when compiling with CS6 on Win

    When i try to use GetMousePosition() in my code, i got bellowing link error when compiling in VS2010.
    Is there any library i can include to resolve it?
    error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__GetCursorPos@4 referenced in function "struct tagPOINT __cdecl GetMousePosition(void)" (?GetMousePosition@@YA?AUtagPOINT@@XZ)
    Thanks,
    Aidy

    Steps to reproduce the problem:
    1. New an empty project with name "test" using DollyXs on Windows;
    2. In testActionComponent.cpp, modify DoAbout() to be
    void testActionComponent::DoAbout()
              GetMousePosition();
    3. Build the project.
    Then, we will get bellowing link error
    1>     Creating library ..\..\..\build\win\objD\test/test.lib and object ..\..\..\build\win\objD\test/test.exp
    1>testActionComponent.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__GetCursorPos@4 referenced in function "private: void __thiscall testActionComponent::DoAbout(void)" (?DoAbout@testActionComponent@@AAEXXZ)
    1>..\debug_cs6\test.sdk.pln : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
    There is no such link error in the sdk sample BasicDragDrop.sdk.vcxproj, but i cannot find any special setting in its project property.
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Automator - Can you do this with a password?

    I have a textbook that I downloaded that is in PDF format and asks for a password every time I open it in Adobe Reader. Is there some way in Automator or Applescript to do some kind of command that would enter the password for me automatically?

    I'm not sure if you can automate this but I would suggest trying to resave the document in an unencrypted form. open it in preview, then go to File menu->print->save as pdf. see if it lets you do this.

  • I cannot sign in my password on Face Time on my iphone4 but,I can use  apple store with my password and ID

    I cannot sign my password on Face Time on my iphone4 but can use my password in the apple store

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
