Privacy in linked Skype and Hotmail/Messenger/Outl...

An ex boyfriend managed to get access to my Hotmail account and he has seen my skype conversations, but I do not know how far back in history he could access.
There was no option to delete skype history within the Hotmail account I had tried many times to get rid of them in the Hotmail reading pane.
I have now managed to unlink the two which has removed it. I have also been into skype and removed the link.
Within the skype platform,it was set it to never save history and to be doubly safe I always manually deleted history. However it kept appearing in hotmail messenger reading pane.
I have two questions that I hope someone can help me with:
1. If he got access to my hotmail again can he switch on the link between skype and messenger and therfore gain access into my skype history
2. Please could someone out there check their own linked account in hotmail/outlook and tell me how long the skype history goes back for. is it months or years? I unlinked them in haste and now I cant tell the extent of the situation
Many thanks I look forward to hearing from you

Hello,
Sorry to hear that - such type of situations are not nice.
I have linked my accounts; but the chat history is all the time only with skype - meaning - it is not enabled in Outlook - http://community.skype.com/t5/Live-Messenger/How-to-access-chat-history/td-p/1358453
Just to make sure - I would suggest to really and check your other accounts and ensure that you change your password (and choose a good password) - the whole idea is that access to your information should be accessible to you AND only you
Cheers
Jo

How do I get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though it is working well on photo booth?

How do i get my webcam working on my skype and yahoo messenger, even though my cam is working on photo booth ( and i am tlking of the mbp with latest OX).

you need to go into the preferences of the actual programs and make the proper settings...
Such as in Yahoo, go to preferences, Webcam tab, sub tab Video and make sure you have the proper camera selected in the drop down menu of video source. In your case built-in isight camera.

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website. It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

Privacy? Security? Not with Skype and Hotmail

My husband used my computer for Skype calls while I had my Hotmail login. I am getting HIS Skype calls and can view his conversation every time I login to my Hotmail ever since. What a spy tool!! BTW, there’s no easy way to break the link between Hotmail and Skype and the chance of successfully delete a Skype account is one in 9.99e9999999.

Hi, Patent, and welcome to the Community,
The linking of your e-mail account to your husband's Skype account may have been the result of an errant mouse click. Please see this FAQ article ...

Can't merge both my Skype and Microsoft messenger ...

Hello,
I have 2 accounts (skype and Microsoft). While following the "how to", I log into Skype using my Microsoft user ID, sign in without issues, it then prompts me if I have a skype account, which I type in, it recognizes it and accepts it, then asks to merge both accounts... I select merge, it then defaults back to the login screen with the Skype user ID instead with "! Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later".
What am I doing wrong?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey,

Unable to link Skype and Microsoft accounts

I am really confused here. I haev tried this on Windows, Mac and iOS no matter what I do cannot link my current/old SKype ID with my longtime Microsoft account. I've followed the KBs poste don this site and I am missing the step where I am offered to link my Microsoft account with my Skype one. E.g I will reference the iOS guide :
Logout of existing Skype ID
Choose login with other account
Choose Micrsoft account
Login with Microsoft account
Choose option for "Already using Skype?" <-- This option does not exist for me on any platform
Not sure why this refuses to work - has anyone else seen this? I had thought initially my Microsoft account TFA (two-factor auth) was throwing this off, and so disabled TFA but still got the same issue.
Then I thoguth that by using one of my aliases for my microsoft account it was not working properly, so I tried the explicit alias I have <username>@outlook.com but that did the same thing.

Ok, I got through the process... of getting back to Skype Community after merging, which is not as easy as it seems. Beware of that! When you merge your accounts, you won't be able to get back to your Skype Community profile due to the merging process that somewhat deletes your "standalone" Skype profile. Your Skype community profile is account-based, not info-based. So even if you will still be using the same Skype name and the same e-mail address, you won't be able to login to your Skype community profile if you created it using your Skype-only account refering to the same e-mail address has your MS one. You will need to create a new Skype community nickname using a completely different e-mail address (like a Gmail or another hotmail, outlook,... that you own). But, doesn't matter if you don't plan to come back to the Skype community, everything else will be fine.
Here's the real stuff! Here are the steps to merge your Skype account with your Microsoft account even if you don't get the prompt asking if you already own a Skype account when logging in with your Microsoft account.
0. Make sure to log out on any Skype app that could still be connected to the service with either of your accounts
1. Go to Skype website and login using your Microsoft account
2. Once on your personal profile page, select "Account Settings" at the bottom of the page
3. Beside your Microsoft account that is listed on the page, click on "Unlink" and complete deletion process of this "ghost profile" (shouldn't be any contacts saved on this profile if you didn't add any contacts in Skype with your Microsoft account)
4. Go back to any Skype desktop or mobile app, login using the "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" option
5. Then, you should be asked again if you own a Skype account, click "Yes", then enter your Skype login information to proceed with the merge.

Why no Ipad versions of Skype or Yahoo messenger yet?

I am really surprised that native iPad versions of skype and yahoo messenger haven't come out yet. I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with ATT? It just doesn't make sense that those companies would not release versions by now.
The iPhone versions suck on the iPad. Plus the iPhone version of yahoo messenger doesn't even come with voice in or out. I use yahoo voice to make calls on my iMac all the time. Kinda blows I can't do so on my iPad yet.
What gives? Anyone know? Why the delay?
Thanks

This is really a user to user forum for Apple products. I don't think anyone here is an expert on non-Apple apps. Furthermore, if you need to complain, why aren't you doing it at forums focused on the two products you're discussing.
That being said, Skype's app does work on the iPad, though not well. It doesn't work over 3G (or at least not well). And it can't work in the background, because iOS 4 is not available for the iPad.
The iPad makes a pretty bad iPhone, to be honest. It's huge. And when you're using Skype, you can't do anything else. Reading several comments by Skype from way back in April, it appears that they are not working on an iPad version at this time. Who knows what they're doing when iOS 4 shows up.
But you really need to take your complaints to Yahoo and Skype.

Webcam issue with Skype and MSN messanger on Satellite A300

Hi.
Well. Contacted Toshiba Australia. and got some information.
Well, the person I spoke to said that he would try to find the drivers on the Toshiba European website, which he did. And he said to uninstall my camera assist software.
So I did, downloaded the new version, installed it. But i am still getting problems, saying that windows vista home premium, a USB device, is not functioning and windows cannot recognize it.
And also, got a driver error still, saying to either open the driver software or restart your computer.
Went to the Toshiba forums, and had a look, did post on their, but could not seem to find any answers, and did that in the last week or two.
Just, want to use Skype and MSN messenger.
But if i cannot get these problems to be resolved, then no point in installing, probably will not work, and have not tried this feature out yet on my machine.
Any one had similar problems, with their Toshibas? and where do i go from here.
Really stretching my head and not sure what to do?
The guy said maybe to do a recovery disk, but do not really want to go down that road.
That would mean having to spend hours reinstalling everything, and I do not have really the time to do that at the moment.
Really busy at the moment. Can any one offer any other suggestions or where do i go from here?
Had this problem, when i got it out of the box, and purchased from Harvey Norman, Burnie, Tasmania.
Cheers Marvin.
ps: could if any one help, could they e-mail me at [email protected], in Australia, if they have the same problem and how they got around that one.!

What model Toshiba do you have?
Are you sure the USB device is the webcam? Have you checked Device Manager?
* Download the updated Chicony Webcam driver from http://203.56.127.6/driver_download/Public//p2_all/ChiconyWebcam_v1.7.175.0123.exe
* Install Vista Service Pack 1, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
* Update your Messenger software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc..)
* If you have another program that can use the webcam (Skype for example), make sure they are completely closed, and not sitting in the System Tray.
* Try closing the Camera Assistant Bar on the left of the Desktop.
* To stop the Camera Assistant software from running on startup, run Regedit and delete "Camera Assistant Software" from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \

Problems about linking the skype and the microsoft

My skype account cannot link to the microsoft account(Before this, I already unlinked the original skype and microsoft) . When I logon the skype with my microsoft account, I found that there is an another skype account and this account is useless for me. Now I just want to delete the useless skype account of the microsoft and then link the original skype to the microsoft. What do I do to relink those accounts?

The sequence you should be using is:
1) start the listener, which will monitor the network for database requests
lsnrctl start
2) start and open the database, which will also register back to the listener. Could be done by a properly configured OEM DBConsole, or command line
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
exit
3) If database started before listener, then you could register the database manually
sqlplus / as sysdba
alter system register;
exit
4) Verify that the listener knows about the database and will handle requests for the database
lsnrctl status
and check the output whether the database service is recognized.
