Privacy settings STILL not working - sort it out s...

i always have my privacy settings fixed so that all options are set to "contacts" only.  however i am STILL getting messages from random strangers saying that i appear interesting.
i'm not interesting. i have no interest in receiving these messages.  i have updated my software and rechecked all the privacy settings but i still get these messages.
skype - can you PLEASE sort this out because it's getting so i don't even want to log in.  it's SO ANNOYING!!!!!
i'm running on a mac (lion) - updating doesn't help. any other ideas? frankly at the moment i don't see why skype even bothers to have security settings - this is not the first time (by any means) that this has happened: they shouldn't make these kind of settings promises if they can't keep them.

I am having the same issue.  I've gotten over 200 abusive IMs and random people calling me.  I have had Skype for years and I have never had an issue with my security.  I only have a smallamount of select contacts and I have never allowed people that are not on my contact list to contact me.  Please help me fix this.  It is getting out of control and I now have more than200 people blocked. I tried the whole changing my online status thing and it appears to have worked, but I am still skeptical.  I dont know how this happend and now I am worried that my information is out there somehow for the world to see.

  • Apps not showing up in privacy settings, Skype not working

    Skype was working okay, but today, when I tried to call someone from my phone, it said i had to allow skype to use the mic, but I had already done that. I still went to privacy settings, but no apps showed up there. But on the camera, while I had multiple apps that use it, none showed up either. In fact, tthe only privacy setting working right was location services!

    Hi SebaJK7,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, programs are not being listed in settings to use certain features. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

  • My privacy settings are not working properly!

    I had to block more than 20 people today! Everytime I hit "people in my contacts only" and then click save, it goes right back to "anyone"! This is seriously getting out of hand, please help!

    not sure of the logic behind this procedure, but it seems to fix the such problems in many cases.  switch to offline status for 5-10 seconds, then revert back to online.  Then try to change your privacy settings afterwards.

  • Proxy Settings still not working with new 3.1

    The new 3.1 of Safari for Windows still does not work properly with proxies (PAC files) with regards to using current logged on User Credentials when a Proxy requires authentication. Anyone have similar issues?

    3.18.8 @ 3:58PM NOPE NOT FIXED...
    MY browser is still crashing when trying to go to secure websites behind a corporate firewall (specific ISA 2006)
    The problem is with the way Sfari Handles Secure website request
    Firefox works because it uses its own module.
    ----"First of all I'm running Safari on my Leopard
    This computer is on a corporate network behind ISA Server 2006
    I'm able to Authenticate to go to the internet but when I try to go to a secure website (example https://www.bankofamerica.com )My browser Crashes.
    I was expecting the new release of Safari to fix this but I'm still having the same issue.
    Looks like the problem is the way this browser handles secure connection requests from behind a corporate firewall.
    Any one has a clue how to fix this?
    I havent been able to find any acceptable fixes for this problem (with exception of running a proxy server on this computer such as squid)
    Thanks ..

  • Custom privacy settings do not work. It either remebers all hsitory, or none. Dumps all cookies, even ones on exception list. Need to fix it. Help menu is j

    I have two websites I need to remember the cookies for. If not, I am forced to verify my computer every login. I have read the troubleshooting, done what it says, and none of it works. I tell it to remember specific sites, enter them, and it still forgets them when I exit the program. If I tell it remember everything, it remembers stuff I don't want. I have went into the about permissions thing. The two websites are listed, the setting choices tell me nothing. I have no idea what does what, as it is not defined. All I know is the two websites are listed, yet it is still controlled by the privacy tab/allow exceptions - or - never remember anything.

    Could I suggest that you set your Privacy tab to "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" and then use these settings for cookies:
    [X] Accept cookies from sites
    Accept third-party cookies: Always
    Keep until: I close Firefox
    In the Exceptions dialog, for the two sites where you want cookies to be remembered longer than just the current session, create exceptions using the base domain. In other words, if it's www.example.com, create an exception for example.com set to Allow.
    Uncheck the box for "Clear history when Firefox closes" or if you want to use that for things other than cookies, use the Settings button to de-select cookies.
    Any luck with this combination?

  • I used to be able to print the Guardian Crossword, but since I changed the Page Setup margins for another website it is scrambled. I've tried resetting printer and all printer settings, still not working

    Here is the link http://www.guardian.co.uk/crosswords/cryptic/25504/print - it looks fine on screen, but print and print previes loses the format. I reset the margins back to 12.7, no effect, and did the "Reset print.print_printer" and edited prefs.js as in the Troubleshooting page of Firefox help.

    Thanks for your response, disconcerting though it may be.
    I guess I'll have to look at other platforms.

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • My iPhone all of the sudden kicked me out of my email say my password is wrong and I know I'm putting it in right I even tried deleting my account and putting it in again and it's still not working

    I need help my iPhone  kicked me out of my email and it's telling me my password wrong! I know I'm putting in my password is right but it's still not working please help

    Hello Jodi216,
    It sounds like you are unable to access your email in the mail account becuase you are being told the password is incorrect, and you have removed the email account and re added it. I recommend starting by deleting the mail account as you had before. Then close the open apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back into the account in Settings, and testing the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article to delete the current iOS 7 installation and install a fresh copy:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
