Long sign-in time using skype

Hi!
I re-installed Leopard (10.5.1) on my Power Mac G5 and I'm using Skype 2.6.0.184. When signing in Skype takes about 15 minutes to finish the sign-in process. This is not a network issue, because unplugging the network cable does not change the sign-in behavior.
Does anybody know what slows down the sign-in process?
Thanks in advance.
Gerhard

Hi,
Did you mean after switch to local user account, it still took long time to sign in?
Firstly please disable unnecessary startup program:
1. Open Task manager;
2. Jump to Startup tab, right click to disable the unnecessary applications one by one.
If the issue still persists, refresh your computer for test:

Extremely long log on time using Time Capsule and Airport

i'm really confused as to why when I start up my macbook, connecting wirelessly via time capsule and airport that it takes an extremely long time to log in and the internet connection seems unusually slow. is there a setting that's off? when i log on at work to a different router and wireless connection it starts up right away. any advice appreciated.

1. no idea.
2. I get the same issue. Set the brightness at a certain low level - and most often when i performa a full restart of the computer - the brightness is usually at full blast.... I've had this happen for about 5 months now and have never bothered to call in about it - if it hasn't been fixed yet - I'll just deal with it as it only takes a second to correct... but yes - annoying....
3. Same as you - and this is the funny thing...... Mine used to start pulsing immediately when the lid was closed. IT changed for me in the last 2 months or so. That - and also - when performing a shutdown of the computer - it just get a grey sinning circle on the middle of the screen for about 10 or 15 seconds..... very similar to the wait for the pulsing light....
I reinstall OSX every month or so for various testing purposes - and I usually just put all the updates on immediately. next time - i will run the vanilla OSX that came with my re-install cd and check out condition 3 to see if it is an update that has caused that delay.
So - you're not alone/

Hi DaniaFlo2013!
Yes, you will need to be in a place where there is WiFi so that you can connect to Skype and then you just need to dial the number you want to call on the Skype dial pad. Make sure that you disable data connection from your provider to avoid roaming charges.
Please also take note that you will need Skype Credit or a subscription so that you can call normal phone numbers on Skype. You can view our subscriptions by visiting the link below and type the country you want to call on the "Find country" search box:

But if you are just calling another Skype user than it should be free.
Also, depending on what your phone is, you can choose the correct link below on how you can dial on the Skype dial pad:

Signing a document using an image

I can no longer sign a document using an image with Adobe Ready XI. I have tried to "change saved signature" and click on the "use image" option. It then requires me to save a copy but after I do so the box disappears and I don't have an option to browse for the image I want to use. If I click on Place signature again it forces me to set up a digital ID. This happened after an update I did yesterday. How can I use an image to sign and NOT a digital ID?

Ok, here's what I've got:
myCert.cer (certificate)
myKey.pfx (PKCS12 keystore)
With this two files I should be able to get the private key (from myKey.pfx), the public key (from the certificate)... and use this to sign the document.
Can anyone help me to do that? (in Java Code)
I'll apreciate any help...

Why is skype no longer signing in automatically?

Hi,
On my computer (Win XP SP3), I have skype (5.3.0.120) set to sign in automatically, but not start automatically. Normally, when I click on skype in the start menu, it automatically signs in and goes straight to the main window with all my contacts and everything. Today, when I clicked on skype in the start menu, it gave me a log in screen. It remembers my user name but it is asking me to put in my password. (The 'sign me in when skype starts' box is still checked.) Why would it suddenly ask for the password? I am not aware of any updates this morning (and past updates have not resulted in this behavior). Is this a known issue with skype today, or is it possible my computer has been compromised? Is it safe to put in my password to log in to skype?
Thank you!

The problem, that Skype does not start when you start windows/logon, seems to be with version 5.5, both the Standard and business versions.
The simplest workaround is to disable the "Skype starts when I start Windows" setting and then add a shortcut to Skype.exe to the "Startup" folder.
This implies no changes of any setting of Internet Explorer or otherwise and can easily be reversed by removing (deleting) the shortcut.

How do i know if my contact no longer uses skype

How do i know if my contact no longer uses skype???

not really a exact way to know, but something that might give you an idea that that particular user have not accessed their account for a long time. right click on their name and select view profile, then you will see tha notification that skype can no longer show further information as that user because that contact has not been online for a long time (or something like that).

What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto? Will photo stream be eliminated? I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

What will Apple do after they do not support iPhoto? Will photo stream be eliminated? I will no longer be able to use aperture, so have signed on with LR & PS.

Just because Apple will no longer support IPhoto or Aperture doesn't mean that the versions that are still out there still won't work, function or still do what it is designed to do.
I do not like all of this offsite, Cloud service storage, anyways. I rather have easy, trouble free access to all of my data locally.
I am still planning on using the current versions of IPhoto and Aperture as I am not moving any time soon to Yosemite or any newer OS versions based on it. I still use a lot of legacy software that I simply can't afford to upgrade any farther.
Plus, I use other photo book sites other than Apple's own service, anyways, because these other services offer more products and are far more flexible than Apple's own print services.

I have a fully paid subscription to CC and use of installed programs but I can no longer sign in to CC. It repeatedly says "You've been signed out". I have the need to install another program but I can't sign in.

I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

Sign in problems when trying to use Skype WiFi

I have a tablet that I am trying to connect to Skype WiFi and keep getting looped around to the sign-in screen. It tells me "You're already on line", but I can't do anything after that. I just have the "Learn More" button. I have unstalled and installed Skype WiFi twice and it still will not open. None of your instructions or guide are helping me.

hi,
The call to the function 'wwpre_api_util.get_names_table' is not returning any data. so, you are getting an exception. Try adding an exception block for NO_DATA_FOUND and print some message.
