Problems with Skype account creation when signing ...

I recently created my Skype account by signing in with my Microsoft Account. I used my outlook account when creating the Skype account. However, when the account was created, my hotmail account which is linked to my Outlook account was listed as the primary email. I think the Skype name was also based off the hotmail email. 
I fail to understand why this is so when the Outlook email was listed as the primary email in my outlooko account. To make matters worse, I am unable to update my profile as the SKype account prompts me for a password when doing so. Typing in the password to my outlook gives an error. 
Is there any way to rectify this? I would very much like to use my Outlook email as the Skype name and not the one on the hotmail account. The two email addresses are very different.

  • Problems with skype account

    My account has been restricted, I have filled the verification form 2 times, the guys from skype support keep telling me that nothing can be done, and keep asking me to fill the form, and then asking me to resubmit information already on the form. 
    I have in frustration asked them to refund my skype credit to my card, which also they refuse to do
    anyone knows how I can get this resolved, this has been going back and forth with skype support for almost 10 days now.

    I think the first thing you can try is to use another web browser.

  • "There is a problem with your account..." when opening online OneNote file within local OneNote app

    Hi,
    We have a tenancy DirSync connection a small number of staff so that they can have access to SharePoint, Visio and OneNote Online. When one such user logs onto the http://[groupsite].sharepoint.com site on his Windows 7 PC with Office 2013 installed,
    he can access the site successfully. He might then open a OneNote file online. However, if he was to then click the "Open In OneNote" button from the toolbar, and clicked "Yes" to the Microsoft OneNote Security Notice:
    "Microsoft Office has identified a potential security concern. This location may be unsafe".
    ... and then sign in with the same account to this box
    ... and then enters his correct credentials into the next "Sign In" window, it returns with the following message:
    "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
    Finally, the following message is returned within the MS OneNote app:
    "We couldn't open that location. It might not exist or you might not have permission to open it. Please contact the owner of onenote:https://[groupsite].sharepoint.com/sites/....one#SharePoint Team Site for more information."
    The user has reinstalled MS OneNote 2013 on the PC with no change. We have also removed all cached credentials from within Windows Credential Manager and rebooted with no success. The user can access all web-based resources such as SharePoint, OneNote and
    Visio, and he can open web-based Visio files locally on the locally-installed Visio app with no issues. This problem is specifically experienced when opening an online version of OneNote locally on a  PC that has either MS OneNote 2010 or OneNote 2013.
    Any assistance that you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Brian

    Thanks Maurice, for your reply.
    My Windows Account is already used to log into OneNote. It is the same Windows Account used to log into, and access online, the SharePointOnline, OneNote Online, etc., services. I tried, indeed, to sign out from my account within the client-version of OneNote
    but it returns the message "We can't remove Windows accounts".
    Again, this is the only account that has been used with this installation of OneNote, and it is that which has been uploaded by way of DirSync to Azure. It works for online versions of OneNote items, SharePoint and Visio, and for VisioOnline-based files
    that are opened within the local client-version of Visio. When trying to open the OneNote Online notebook within the local client-version of OneNote we get this issue.
    I have reinstalled Office with no success.
    Any help that you can provide in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Brian

    As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
    Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

  • OneNote 2013 throwing error: There is a problem with your account. Please try again later on Windows 8.1

    Hi
    I had Windows 8 installed on my corporate laptop till last week and as the OS crashed, I have re-installed the system with 8.1 and it has Office 2013 installed with my corporate ID. It is signed in Corporate credentials by default. But when I am trying to
    use Switch Account option and trying to login with my Microsoft ID to sync my notebooks, it throws an error : "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later".
    Note that My Microsoft is active and i am able to access the pages online.
    Pls help with me with a resolution

    Hi Raj_Tan,
    Thank you for posting this issue on the TechNet community forums.
    From the description I understand that you're having problems signing into OneNote 2013 with your Microsoft account and that it's giving you an error: "There is a problem with your account. Please try again later". You mentioned you are able to
    access the pages online.
    Could you please try the following:
    Check if you are able to login to other office apps with your Microsoft account.
    Check if you are able to login to the OneDrive app using your Microsoft account.
    Try emptying all saved passwords from the credential manager:

    Although this link applies to Windows 7, the process is the same in Windows 8.

  • Problems with Merging Account

    Hi Experts,
    I have 2 problems with merging accounts:
    1) Opportunity is not moved from source data to master data. I do not know why. Central BP is changable.
    2) Contact Person is only copied, not moved. This causes problems later on when we want to delete the source data.
    Any idea how to solve this?
    Best regards,
    Cristina

    Hi Arno:
    First of all: Thanks for answering my thread!
    The problem with opportunities in my system is, that they are not merged at all, not even with the batch job. I checked trx. BUSWU02. Node CRM370 is assigned to variant CLEAR_REP.
    Also the central Business Partner in opportunity remains changable, once the opportunity was saved.
    Anything else I have to check??
    Best regards,
    Cristina

  • Hi, i have problem with my apple id when i want purchase app even free one, asked me for complete my card informations... but i don't want to use debit card because already i have gift card and charge it in my id... please help

    hi, i have problem with my apple id when i want purchase app even free one, asked me for complete my card informations... but i don't want to use debit card because already i have gift card and charge it in my id... please help me.
    when i unchek the card information it was show me an error!

    Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
    Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

    Hi ELMIR_012,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you may be setting up your iPhone after updating to iOS 7.
    You may want to skip signing into your Apple ID (iCloud account) until your phone is set up. You will be able to sign into your iCloud account later. See this article for more information:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to get started
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4053
    Sign in with your Apple ID, which you've created previously, or create a free Apple ID.
    Alternatively, you can tap Skip This Step to sign in or create an Apple ID later.
    If you require assistance with your Apple ID, please see Apple ID Support for more information.
    Additionally, this page can help with resetting your password:

    That's not very intuitive
    Check your mail server setup (mail>preferences>accounts>) choose your MobileMe account and select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) dropdown box, select Edit SMTP server list, verify that each instance of the me server has a password, if there are more than one and you only have one account then delete the one without a password.

  • Is there a problem with skype at the moment?

    Hello folks.
    I'm running a G4 and 10.411 using an old version of skype with a software patch that I found in one of the skype topics on this site. It has been working fine for months now. I don't use video just audio. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I am having is that I can call out and hear the person I am calling, but they can't hear me. Is there a problem with skype today? Or have they made changes as of today that do not permit people to use the patch and an old version of skype? Any information would be much appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The problem has seemed to have gone away. The problem started yesterday on two different computers. Today, on one of the computers I ran a utility called Mcjanitor that I had installed years ago but very rarely ran it. I neglected to try skype prior to running the utility. On computer #2 I tried booting from an old utility disk called techtoolpro. I was unable to boot from the disk after several attempts and restarts. Both computers are running better and skype now works again on both. I sent an email earlier today to a tech support guy from my ISP about my recent problems with skype. In conclusion I can't explain why skype now works on both computers. I can only guess that I reset something when I used (attempted to use) a utility disk. The other possibility is that my ISP guy did something on his end. Or, lastly, that skype had problems that were remedied by skype today.

    Ok.  Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart.  Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works.  Woohoo!!!
