My daughter set up a Skype Account....

My Daughter set up a Skype account using my email address, (msn account) on my brand new laptop. The Skype app is on my laptop I am listed as a contact. I created a new account and name since I havent used Skype for a long time, and when I did it was on my mobil phone last year. As soon as I open my Skpe app my daughters information comes up automatically. I feel really frustrated and cant sign in because I only have one mircosoft account and I have forgotten my password. I use gmail now and eventually want to close my msn account that has over 9,000. emails that I feel overwhelmed to deal with. I dont want to open a new microsoft account. I also am unable to get ahold of my Daughter who is out of state. I want to be able to start video chatting with my sister in Florida. I would appreciate any advice, thank you, Sincerely xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

148 skype accounts linked to my e-mail address

I've recently received a "thank you for changing your Skype e-mail address" into my inbox. I never used Skype, so I didn't agree to any terms&conditions. There are no admin contact details on Skypes website, so I log into the "change password" to get the password changing token and then remove this account myself. I just didn't expect to see 148 accounts linked to my e-mail.
I've tried to send an e-mail to support via the form, but of course it doesnt't work either.
Any hints? I will remove the accounts one by one manually if there is no other way. If it contains any personal data I shall post them in this feed.

Hi, Del148acc, and welcome to the Community,
We here in the Community are not authorized to access Skype accountholder data - please contact Skype customer service immediately. If you cannot get through, or do not wish to set up a Skype account in order to contact Skype Customer Service, send a detailed report to Skype via e-mail: [email protected]
Here is another link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
I also strongly recommend changing the password to your e-mail address account as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. You may also wish to contact your e-mail account's customer helpdesk to report this incident to them, as well.
Regards,
Elaine

My email address has come online as a Skype account

I just declined a couple of contact requests from people I have never heard of, and stratight afterwards I received a notification that '(my email address) is online'. My Skype name is NOT the same as my email address and I have not set up a Skype account using my email address as my Skype account name. Could the unwanted contacts have somehow hacked into my account, even though I didn't accept their contact request?

Hi, Sweary, and welcome to the Community,

Help!- can't pay for my father's skype account

I helped my father ( who is currently in china) set up a skype account and link that account to one of my credit card set as auto-recharge. So that he can talk to me or his other friend in NA.
It worked fine until my credit card expired. I am trying logged in as him on skype website and updated the credit card infomation, but it always link to chinese version website, which has totally different way to get credit and I can't use any of my credit card pay for that. (Cause they are all the banks from china)
I just want to do same thing as i am here, $14 purchase, once it is lower than $4, re-charge!
(I also don't want he ends up paying cause it is kinda a gift from me.)
Please help!

It seems such Skype account would have been tied up with Chinese Partner's business and will not be able to be free from that tie.
I suggest that your father will use that account until Skype Credit comes down to zero, then forget about that account. On the other hand, you, a good person not living in China, will do the things all from the beginning, such as:-
1. create new account and
2. buy initial Skype Credit with your new Credit Card details with such an important feature, auto-recharge, ON.
Then this new account will be a new gift to your father.
Good luck, iCrazyCat.

Removing my Credit Card from skype accounts I do n...

Hi There
It appears my sales people utilised my credit card for setting up multiple skype accounts. Unfortauntely now I am getting billed for 8-9 skype accounts each month. The other skype accounts are now surplus to requirements.
Currently I only require 1 skype account. Is it possible to scan all accounts that are using my credit card and only authorise my credit card for my personal account and remove from other accounts. It's adding up to quite a bit of money each month. I don;t have usernames and passwords to other skype accounts using my credit card.

Hi, Andrew, and welcome to the Community,
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service for assistance with this. If you report the purchases as unauthorized, all of the accounts - including yours - will most likely be suspended or "blocked" when the charge-backs are processed as an anti-fraud measure. You might also consider closing that particular credit card account number and replace it.
Regards,
Elaine

There is no such account. The iPod is really a one-user device
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Does anybody know how I can run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air? I found workarounds on youtube, followed the steps to set-up a second skype account but I can't login using the second account.

How do I run multiple skype accounts on my macbook air. I'm using MAC OS X 10.6.8. I followed the workaround steps on youtube to set up a skype b account (application and folder) but when I open the skype b account I can't login. I get an error message saying "please check your network settings and try again". My 1 skype account works but I need to run 2 skype accounts at the same time, 1 for a client and my own personal account.
Thanks
Yolanda

My husband was helping our daughter set up an apple id. She entered her e-mail address incorrectly, but didn't realize it until AFTER they had entered a credit card number. How can we cancel the incorrect e-mail address account?

iMac model?
Mac OS version?
Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

How Do I Close My Skype Account?

Dear Readers,
This question is asked a lot here in the Community, particularly on this message board. Perhaps this topic added here will be helpful.   This FAQ article explains the process of how to remove your Skype account (the blue type is actually a "link" to the FAQ article): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/how-do-i-close-my-skype-account
First, remember to cancel all active subscriptions. If you think you might be entitled to a refund, please see this FAQ to determine this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12147/when-can-i-get-a-refund?
Second, remove any saved payment methods from your account dashboard.
Third, remember to change the account status or presence setting to "offline." For your convenience, an abridged version of the FAQ article's text - specific only to removing a Skype account - is copied and pasted below:
How do I close my Skype account?
If you want to close your Skype account, you’ll need to contact us so we can close it for you.
First, make sure you’ve cancelled any subscriptions or recurring payments, and used up any Skype Credit you have. Everything associated with your Skype account – including contacts, purchases and history – will be lost when your account is closed.
Next, contact Skype Customer Service and tell us you’d like to close your account.
It might take up to 30 days for your name to disappear from the directory, but after that, no one will be able to find you in Skype. Your name will still appear in your friends’ contact lists unless they remove it, but they won’t be able to contact you.
In the meantime, you can remove your personal information from your profile to prevent people from finding you based on those details.
Remove your profile information
This will make it more difficult for people to find you in the Skype directory. You can remove or edit all of your details except for your Skype Name.
To remove your profile information:
Change your profile picture and mood message.
If you have a profile picture that identifies you, you might want to change it. In Skype, click Skype > Profile > Change Your Picture… (on a Mac, click your profile picture and then Change Picture) and browse for a different picture.
You can leave a status message saying you’re no longer active on Skype, or giving your new Skype Name if you’re using a different account. Go to Skype > Profile > Edit Your Profile… and then click Enter mood message. (On a Mac, click your name or profile picture and then click Add Mood Message.)
Sign out of Skype.
It’s a good idea to set your status to offline or invisible, and then sign out of Skype on all your devices. Type the chat command /remotelogout into the chat window to sign yourself out of Skype on any other devices you might be using, then sign out on the one you’re using now.
Go to your account.
Sign in to your account on skype.com
Can’t sign in? Find out what to do if you’ve forgotten your username or password.
Go to your profile.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under Settings and preferences, click Edit profile.
Edit your profile details.
In the Personal Information section, click Edit.
Remove your information from the Personal Information and Contact Details sections. Some fields are mandatory - replace the info in these with random characters, because you won’t be able to save it if the fields are empty. Click Save.
Please remember this is a one-time request which cannot be reversed.
One more point to keep in mind: removing your account from the Search Directory will not "pull," "remove," "delete," or "retract" instant messages or file transfers that you have previously sent to your contacts. Your account name will still appear on their contact lists, although they will no longer be able to contact you using the account name you have requested be removed.
The last step of the process is to file your request to remove your account with Skype Customer Service.   This final and required step in the process is often overlooked, and we here in the Community are not authorized to process service requests. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of sporadic website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, disabling browser add-ins that might disable pop-up dialog boxes, and temporarily enabling pop-up dialog boxes may help get you through to Skype Customer Service. If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser.
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 block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
Best regards,
Elaine
