Spam message sent to all contacts, devices were off

I just saw I sent this message:"Hi!" and then a shortened link to all my contacts. I use skype on 3 devices, my main pc was not even plugged in, my surface was in sleep mode and my android phone was in standby. I already changed my password, but what steps do I take to make sure this does not happen again and that my privacy is kept?

I just woke up to this happening to me as well, I'm good about not clicking links but I guess it happened :c I ended up changing my password after running a few virus scans (which picked up nothing :c) to something much harder, apparently my old one was super easy to guess. All the spam messages were sent at 7:30AM, I wasn't even awake, I got woken up to 40 twitter messages saying to change my password lol.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

How do I set up my iPhone to show message alerts on my locked screen only for messages sent by my contacts?

iPhone now is able to show you messages received even though the screen is locked. This is time efficient. But I do not want to see messages on the locked screen from people who are not in my contacts list. I tried going to settings>notifications>messages> but only saw view in lock screen for all messages. Is there a way to see messages on the locked screen from people only in my contact list? I appreciate it.

Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.

Odd Skype Message...Clicked on it....Yikes?

I received a "mood message" from a friend on Skype about a friend on Skype...a link to http://imo.im....
The site seemed suspect. Did I just click on something I shouldn't have? Fuggin' hope not.

Run any antivirus, if you have any, and scan your computer. That's the best thing you can do really.

HT5622 trying to create an apple id and I keep getting a message after entering all information that I cant get an apple id at this time. why is that?

I have a contact that has an iPhone but when I text him it comes up as a text message and not a iMessage?

I have lots of iPhone contacts but only have one contact that when I send them an iMessage it sends as a text message instead how do I fix or is it on there end?

You both have to have iMessages turned on, you both have to be on iOS 5.0 or higher and you both have to be on an official carrier
oh and you both have to be on 3G or wifi
if one of you doesnt have 3G or wifi at the time then it will send as a text message
I don't have a 3G data plan so my iMessages only send over wifi, and when an iphone is asleep the wifi turns off so I receive iMessages as text messages, but when my wifi is connected it works perfectly

Reinstallation for IOS skype. problems with groups and contacts

I was having a problem with Skype on my Iphone; new messages wouldn't load, and if they did it was around 10 minutes after they sent them. So I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. As soon as I logged into my account I realized most of my contacts didn't have a profile picture, nor did it have our conversations. It also got rid of all my skype groups; I still got notifications for those groups, but if I clicked on them it would bring me to a page saying that it's an empty group. Also if I get on skype on my laptop everything is fine, I still have my groups, my contacts all have pictures and our conversations are still there. I tried to reinstall it on my phone again, but this time all my groups were still gone, but different contacts wern't complete. Because I still had the contacts I tried to send a message on of my contacts that didn't have a profile picture and although it said it sent, I never got a reply. So I got on my laptop and asked if he got it, and he said he didn't. Is anyone else haing this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you

Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue. This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles. We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

Skype messages not sending

I'm not having ANY luck reinstalling or signing back out.
My messages won't send from my phone, even though I have great WiFI that's working, and I see recieved messages on the lock screen, but when I check to see them on Skype, they're gone.
Thinking about getting a new app since this one won't work right.

I'm really getting pissed off at this point. 3 hours waiting on Skype, this morning I woke up to find 0 messages received from all contacts and all my group chats were empty(they'd normally have around 500+ messages by now) I turn off the wifi, forget the network then put in the pass code and get connected again, skype is still giving me bs. So I uninstall it then reinstall, takes like a whole **bleep** hour to load up my contacts and it let's me talk to ONE FRIEND for a split god **bleep** minute. Yet it didn't load up any group chats, when I check the history it's a log from 3 months ago when I called my girlfriend. The group chat isn't even there and it's been 3 hours on waiting for it, plus 95% of my contacts are on offline(even the ones that ever go on offline mode) How do I fix this, I'm on an iPad 1 and have recently gone on vacation to Bangladesh(still am here)

On a Contacts search, not all contacts appear

Hi
I have iphone 5, ios7.
Seemms very odd recently, not using groups - all contacts are displayed. But when I use the 'search' in the Contacts App, not all contacts appear. Dispite the fact that if I scroll through manually, I can see and access the very contact I was searching for. This applies to quite a few contacts without any apparent consistent link between the tricky ones.
Any ideas folks?
Many thanks

Thanks for the quick reply :)
The search doesn't work even if I put in a name exactly as its listed. It used to be for example if I typed 'A' then all the names starting with 'A' would list but now I get nothing.

Help - All Contacts deleted after deleting mobile me account on iphone.

I don't know what has happened but all my contacts have gone from my iphone. The only thing I am conscious of doing is deleting the trial mobile me account from the iphone following the expiry of the trial period. Is there any backup on my computer to recover these? I can't see anything obvious in iTunes. Is there any other way of getting them back?

If the internet connection to your MobileMe online address book is lost for whatever reason (in this case you cancelled your MobileMe account so there was no longer an internet connection to your MobileMe online address book), the contacts on your iPhone don't disappear. The contacts are cached locally so if your MobileMe online address book is not available for whatever reason, you still have access to the contacts to place a call, send an MMS, etc.
When deleting the account from your iPhone, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe account are deleted from your iPhone - the cache in this situation. When you first turned Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, what happened? If you don't remember, all existing contacts on your iPhone were erased and replaced with your MobileMe online address book. After this, the contacts were being kept synchronized with your MobileMe online address book but not technically stored locally on your iPhone. When you deleted the account, all contacts that had been synced over the air with your MobileMe online address book were deleted with the account.
Since all existing contacts on your iPhone were deleted when first turning Contacts on for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account, where did your MobileMe online contacts originate from? Did your MobileMe online contacts originate from the Address Book on your Mac? If not, they should have and should have been kept synchronized between your MobileMe online address book and your iPhone. If so, your contacts should remain in the Address Book on your Mac and you can sync your iPhone direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

How do I restore contacts that disappeared for no reason?

Contacts went missing on iPhone 4s, just out of the blue. Phone had shut down and turned back on by itself earlier in the day.
Don't know why. How do I restore all contacts that were on the phone? Thanks.

Just sync them back from whatever program/cloud service you keep them in.
