Logging into Skype connects me to someone else's a...

I have been using Skype for about two years now without having any issues. Las Friday though I got this email that my Skype password was changed. I couldn't do anything at the moment since I was away.
The next morning when I got back home and logged into my Skype account (I always log in with my Microsoft Account, never with my Skype ID), I noticed that all my account details were changed -- name, email, hometown, picture, birth date etc. Also, my hole contact list was completely changed. Figuring that I got hacked, I went back to the email I got, which adviced me to fill in the Account Verification Form in order to report security issues with my account -- I filled all the information in, and then I waited for a response.
But during the day, chat windows started to pop up -- 'I' was talking to my contacts from another device!! But judging from the conversation I figured: I didn't get hacked, I actually logged into somebody else's account!!! (Did my Microsoft account get somehow 're-linked' to someone else's account?)
Sunday morning I managed to contact Skype Support on their dedicated chat system and I described the hole thing. The consultat promised that they would look into it as it was a very strange issue, and told me to fill in the Account Verification Form once more, which I did.
Now, each day I have been getting emails from Skype support that they couldn't process the information they got for me and to fill in the Account Verification Form and re-submit it. I have already submited the form five times now.
Could I have some advice please?

Same thing is happening to me. It's logging in under the name of someone who once borrowed this computer. I changed the name on my profile but it's still showing the other person's name.

50L4353DB - Screen goes blank and unresponsive after logging into Skype

After successfully logging into Skype on our Toshiba 50L4353DB, I am presented with my contacts momentarily, then the screen goes black and there is no response from the TV. Upon exiting from Skype, the screen remains blank.
Here is the solutions I have tried to no aveil:
I have updated to the latest firmware
Tried connect through both a wired and wireless connection
Tried loggin with and without the webcam installed (Freetalk 7291)
Reseting the TV back to factory settings
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is the problem with the Skype app or the TV itself?
Thanks

I have had the same problem. I first got the 65L7350U 3D TV, and did the complete setup. I orderd the FreeTalk video camera indicated as the ONLY one that is compatible with this TV. At first, around Christmas 2013 it was working fine, and the video was awesome. But, in the past 2 weeks, Skype no longer works. Presently when SKYPE is chosen, it will not even start, and the black screen appears, and stays till you exit to the cloud.
I have reset the TV on 6 separate occasions, and here is what has come from that:
Each time, I signed back into my cloud account, then booted Skype, and each time Skype asked me to sign in, as if it was the first time the app was running. I signed into the Skype site, and the connection was correct. I saw my photo, and my list of contacts, but then the app quits, leaving a black screen, and no response from any keyboard or remote buttons, except for the Home button for return to the Cloud. I do ge the screen that asks if I want to exit the current mode, and the only choice is yes, because a no will give you the same black screen with no Skype running. On one occasion in the past 6 TV resets I was able to make one call to the Skype Call Testing Service, and check the sound and microphone. It worked perfectly with the sound and the microphone, but as soon as the Testing Service disconnected the call, the screen went blank, back to black, and locked up, again requiring return to the Cloud page.
Apparenlty when the screen goes blank, Skype is still running, but there is no way to access its functions.
It appears to be a Software problem with that app, but I have been unable to find a way to delete that app and install either a previous version or an upgraded version of the current one. Any suggestions?

Hi guys!
So i have a question!
Yknow how easy it is to get someone's IP address through skype?
Well i was wondering, if you're not logged into Skype on my computer, will they still be able to obtain my IP?
I hardly use the computer and more of the mobile app and I already have an VPN on my tablet.
(Btw I share this computer with my mother who doesnt want to get VPN for some reason.)

You can share the purchasing Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: (your dad's appleid here)
With all other Apple services, iMessage, iCloud, Game Center, FaceTime etc. use your own Apple ID.

Can't log into skype on xbox one.

I am trying to use skype on my xbox one and about a month ago it worked fine but now will not work. When I go to sign in it says you have been signed out of skype please sign into an xbox account to use skype. It just gets stuck in a loop like this. I saw someone had a previous problem like this, I made sure my microsoft account is linked to skype which it is, which is linked to my xbox live profile. I can use skype fine from my laptop or phone but when I try to do xbox have this problem.

Well I already figured out the problem I had changed my microsoft password since last time I logged into skype I just had to remove my xbox profile and then re add it with new password.

I cannot log into Skype on my iPhone.

I have recently updated my IOS on my iPhone 6 and the most recent update for Skype, Since this I cannot log into Skype. I have the correct Skype ID and I know my password is corretc because I reset this today and then re-tried logging in. Skype still doesn't recognise my details. It is getting bloody frustrating! Anybody els e have this problem? Or can anyone help? Thanks in advance Jonny

I am having the same problem. I not only cannot login to my skype account on new iphone 6, but app did not respond to a request to change password. I am not using 3rd party keyboard and I re-installed the app. Even though I could still login on my pc I changed my password, can login successfully on PC, but still cannot login on my iphone....

I connected iPad to someone else's windows computer to charge it. Their iTunes came up, and I hit cancel. Now none of my purchased apps work. What can I do?

Okay, then what you will need to do is plug your ipad back into your friends computer; you may have to sync it with his computer, but thats okay. When it is plugged in, click the update button. This will take about an hour, maybe more if your friend has slow internet. Once it is updated, reset your ipad. When your ipad is reset, sign into your apple id. You can now use a feature called icloud (brand new in ios 5) to download all of your apps and music you purchased back to your ipad. You may lose some things if they were not purchased from apple, but is is better than not being able to use it at all (I think).
If you already have ios5, then this is unnecessary (it says you are using an ipad running ios4)

Cannot log into skype. I have to use a different S...

FRUSTRATION!
That is the only way I can define my mood at this point.
Wen i try to log into skype on my Xbox one it says: This Skype account is already linked with another microsoft account.
What can you do?
Use a different skype account? (NO I won't)
Create a new one? (How about noooo...)
Because (duh) I use a different e-mailadress for my Xbox Live account then I use for my Skype.
So I have been chatting with microsoft support for more then 2 hours. And I am this close | | trowing my Xbox One out of my fricking window and re-buying an xbox 360.
So I came up with the genious idea of changing my Xbox live e-mail adress. But that is harder then getting into the Kremlin. Because You cannot change a microsoft account into a different microsoft account (Great going Bill).
So Frustrations keep building up. It looks more like i'm in a pitt filled with snakes and crocs with no way of escaping and each tunnel of hope I find is filled with even more dangerous animals. So here I am. Whispering to the Gods for help.
Question. How can I use skype on my xbox one using the same account I use on Windows 8.1 and my mobile phone and tablet. etc. etc.

Understood. Here is how it works.
When you log into Xbox One with a Microsoft account (= Xbox Live account), this is the one that Skype will use.
If you want to log into different Microsoft account on Skype for Xbox One, you need to log into different Xbox One (= Microsoft account) account.
So, you cannot be logged into Microsoft account A on Xbox and into Microsoft account B in Skype.

Cannot log into Skype for Windows (v6.22.81.104)

Can't log into Skype
Skype for Desktop (Windows) installed: v6.22.81.104
Very infuriating! I can log into the Skype website and the iPhone app - so I know it is not my user credentials.
I keep getting the following screen:
Which bizarrely mentions that I have CAPS LOCK on - which I don't:

Open Windows Registry Editor. Find there this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.css
Is the Content Type Data value saying text/css?

Connected to skype and linked to someone else face...

Hi. I have installed Skype 6.6 and when I log in to my skype account I can see a lot of facebook contacts which are not my friends and either not my facebook contacts. When I go to home page, I can see the facebook log in is disconnected (so I cannot disconnet this) but I can see these people anyway. They are talking to me as if I were someone else. Could anyone help me please?. also i cannot remove these contacts by hand.
how can i remove the link to these people?
thanks.

Try 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.
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.

Issued Skype number belongs to someone else

Hello,
I just paid for 3 months of Skype Number and the number they gave me already belongs to someone else.
How can I get a new number issued to me immediately?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Frances

Hi, Hi, P_Everything, and welcome to the Community,
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service to resolve this; you may need to have this subscription cancelled and refunded, and take out a new Skype Number subscription. We here in the Community do not have the tools to do this.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware there can be problems reaching their customer support unit via the website. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, 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 impede reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

how do I log into my iTunes account to watch a movie I've downloaded on someone elses computer?

Did you download a movie from iTunes while you were logged into your Apple ID or were you logged into the other person's Apple ID?
By double-clicking the the movie file, it should prompt you to login with the ID that purchased the movie.
