Send Contact Request

I cannot use the "Send Contact Request" feature and can't find anything on this problem anywhere. Does anyone know how I can resolve this frustrating issue?
Let me know.

I am having this problem as well. The "help" says:
Report an issue with a Game Center customer
If you encounter an issue with another customer, including invite spam, inappropriate avatars, or other offensive behavior:
iOS: View their profile, tap '•••', and select Report a Problem.
OS X: Tap or click their Game Center nickname to view their profile and select Report a Problem.
...but as you know, it's not possible to view a stranger's game profile (unless I want to sift through the leaderboards containing thousands of users, perhaps?)  Also, I don't see any instructions from Apple about how to access the Game Center through OS X on my desktop computer (is that even possible?)  I thought I'd check there, since the interface might be different.
Our problem is that one user is signing up for EVERY open game slot they can find on our app (we are the publisher - the app developer says their hands are tied, since they cannot ban users, or even know who any user is, so I assume this is a Game Center issue).  It's ruining the experience for other players of our game on the iOS app, so we'd like to address this.  For all we know, this jerk is ruining people's experience of other games as well.
I did try issuing a friend request to this person (since that's the ONLY way to send someone a message through Game Center - I asked them to call or email us).  I guess if they accept my friend request, I'll be able to report them, but, given the extremely limited nature of ALL of Apple help, I'll probably be directed to choose from a short list of issues that have nothing to do with the actual nature of the abusive behavior.  Thanks Apple, I just LOVE the way you second-guess what your customers need.  You're spot-on every time [heavy sarcasm].  There isn't even a forum to ask about Game Center!
I see nobody has been able to help you on this issue.
Appalled at Apple's so-called "support",

  • Can Skype send contact requests without your knowl...

    My daughter received a contact request from a man that I know. He is denying any knowledge or that he sent it. Does skype ever send contact requests without your knowledge? For example, could it access your email contacts and then search for linked skype accounts and send them contact requests without you knowing? Need to know if this is possible before reporting this person. Thank you.

    Hello
    1. Absolutely NOT!
    2. No. These are private to the users. You should consider reporting this matter to the Police without delay.

    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Stranger sending contact requests and very suspicous

    Hi ,I am recieving contact request from a stranger, this person at first posted a picture with someone in armed force uniform and I blocked it. Now he is continuing sending contacts and acting as if he is a different person with different names and images. I am asking for privacy, security, and safety please. This has to stop.

    Bump! really need to fix this.

  • People can't see my contact requests

    The last 2 people I have tried sending contact requests to have not received them, and then whent hey search for me they can't find me.  Is this a problem in my settings?  I checked but couldn't find anything.

    The Java compiler has a -target flag, so there wasn't a need for you to install JDK 1.4...
    As for the MS JVM: it's only Java 1.1 compliant and a security problem. Tell him to install a Sun JRE, or restrict yourself to Java 1.1 classes (no Swing for instance) only.

  • Cannot send or receive contact requests

    [Topic title edited by Aimi]
    I'm sure there alrady is a topic for this as I see Internet full of complaints about the same issue (without no decent solution!) but here is once again my version...
    I have an old Scype account which I haven't used before. Yesterday I set up the Skype desktop client (Win 8.0), the latest version if it (checked and no newer updates available), and linked my existing Skype account with my Microsoft account. Had no connections at that time and since that (during today and yesterday) I've made 3 contact requests but not one of them can see my requests!! So, we tried it viceversa: they sent me the request - same result: I cannot see any of the requests!! I have checked the settings (one solution for exmple suggested that I should allow IMs from anyone - I did - no help). I also tried the app for mobile. Same result. Also tried to uninstall/re-install the Skype client. No help.
    I don't need instructions how to search/add contacts - I know how to do that, the contacts requests just don't go through!! Help needed. Annoyed.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So I have windows 8.1 and using the latest desktop version of Skype. When I tell someone to add my Skype , I never get a notification or an option to add them. It has been happening to pretty much anyone who wants to add me. I also made sure in the notifications tab that contact request was checked. I can add other people fine its just hard to get in contact with them and asking for their Skype username so its more convenient giving them my Skype username. Anyone could please help me. Thanks!

  • HT204407 my 2 daughters and I are sharing one icloud.  I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them, but it won't let me.  It says I can't send a request to myself when I send one to her email address, which is different than mine.  What am I d

    my two daughters and I have iphones.  I am trying to set up and use find my friends with them. We have 1 icloud, but different emails.  When I send a request it states that I can't send a request to myself.  What am I doing wrong

    Sharing an Apple ID is never recommended for these reasons.
    They can create their own: http://appleid.apple.com and you can add them at the addresses they use for their ID.
    Sharing an Apple ID is not recommended because all of your data gets merged and when it gets deleted from one device, it deletes from them all, such as Contacts.

  • Unwanted Contact Request?

    i did not see a support forum on the support tab and my search question "why did i get a request from someone i do not know" turned up nothing. can this be posted here?
    i have never had a problem with skype in the past since i have gotten it. i believe it was 2011.
    Alright, so i login to skype to see which of my contacts is online and to hopefully chat with them. Then i notice i have 1 new contact request. I go to look at it and it says "princess_cassisexox111 (Joy Rodgers)". I then ask some of contacts if they knew this contact and they reply "no"
    I then try talking to this contact to see if they know me from somewhere. Here is the conversation. Twinkle is my display name since it was already taken on here.
    Twinkle has shared contact details with Joy Rodgers.
    [8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
    [8:33:00 PM] Joy Rodgers: heyy there hun, ya busy? saw u online so i figured i'd send a message and see
    [8:33:16 PM] Joy Rodgers: 27/f here, you?
    -i did not even ask for their age or gender-
    [8:33:17 PM] Twinkle: [8:32:54 PM] Twinkle: who is this?
    -i try a second time to figure out who they are. perhaps a familar username from another site-
    [8:33:32 PM] Joy Rodgers: oh ok so whatcha up 2?
    [8:33:53 PM] Twinkle: Who Is This?
    -i try caps the first letter of each word to try to get this contact to notice the message-
    [8:34:11 PM] Joy Rodgers: ahh well i was just checkin my inbox on Just Hook Up, i got out of a relationship a few months back and im sick of going out and meeting guys at clubs. 
    [8:34:26 PM] Joy Rodgers: my friend told me about it and i was like umm idk about all that lol, but in all honesty i really like it and i've met some really cool people from there too. do u have a profile anywhere or any pics?
    [8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name
    -at this point, i ask how you they found out my skype name-
    [8:35:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: i actually just finished uploading some new pics from last weekend if u wanna see?
    [8:35:27 PM] Twinkle: [8:34:47 PM] Twinkle: how did you get this skype name? do i need to caps the message
    [8:35:49 PM] Joy Rodgers: alright here's my profile bit.ly/15Wc4l0 that has my photos there. u might have to sign in to see them like on facebook i'm not sure but u should sign up anyway
    -the link in this message, i suspect to be a spam/harmful link of some sort-
    [8:36:02 PM] Joy Rodgers: it only takes a couple seconds and it's totally free, no credit card or anything stupid like that. plus i can send you a friend request and we can get to know each other better
    -here, im being told to register for a possible dating site, which im not going to do-
    [8:36:13 PM] Twinkle: we are through here
    [8:36:33 PM] Joy Rodgers: Once u do send me ure username so i can send u a friend request 2..
    -at this point, i decided to end the conversation since this contact would not answer my questions and blocked-
    [8:37:18 PM] *** Twinkle blocked Joy Rodgers ***
    how did this contact get a hold of me? could this of been a bot?

    I'm almost sure that those are scammers/spammers/or phishers.  Unfortunately, those unwanted users are very resourceful individual.  They may have numerous ways to search for valid Skype usernames.
    ignore and block them, and/or report them to [email protected] for misusing/abusing Skype services.

  • Sending meeting requests

    Good evening,
    I am having trouble sending meeting requests from my iPhone, iPad and Mac computer. If I send the request for 10am, the appointment is received on the blackberry and samsung as 9am (I have not tested other phones). I have tried all the timezone settings which all seem correct...
    If I receive a meeting request from my colleagues, the problem does not exist, so I assume that my timezone settings are correct.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rory,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use Exchange email for Google Calendar.
    There are two articles for Integrating Microsoft Outlook and Exchange with Google Apps, please take a look at:
    Integrating Microsoft Outlook and Exchange with Google Apps
    Migrate from Microsoft Exchange
    In addition, as you are using Google apps, I suggest you ask Google support for help.

  • Contact Request

    How do I know if somene has received a contact request?
    A friend, who is not computer literate at all,  denies receiving my contact requests.
    He says he has sent requests to me but I haven't received them.
    Is there a way to check this?

    There is no way to verify a contact request, apart from the requestee acceping it. Make sure you both are on the same version of Skype, and be sure you are sending the request to the correct account (typos happen).
    http://www.skype.com/go/getskype
    Some users have reported that resending requests do help in some instances. Also beeing online at the same time, with status set to online (green icon with checkmark), might help.
    You couls also try a call and use the screensharing feature in Skype to check the other persons settings, turning off firewalls etc. Make sure to enable calls from anyone beforehand in tools > settings > calls

  • Contact Request name

    I've sent a contact request to someone and she has asked me to resend it, but I can't because the request is still active and pending. It's occurred to me that a contact request may identify me by my Skype name, and she wouldn't know that was a request from me, because I used a nickname that friends know me by, but she wouldn't. She's a professional connection and knows me by my proper name. Do you know if contact requests are identified with the Skype name? I'm going to email her my user/skype name, in case that's the situation. But I'd like to know if my user/Skype name is what people see when I send a contact request. I may need to open a new account, because that name can't be changed. Obviously, I don't use Skype a lot.Thanks for any clarification!

  • Unblock contact request

    I wish to unblock a contact request that has also been reported as spam. How do this please.
    THe contact request was from "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]", because there was no photo I blocked and reported this person by mistake as she is my sister.
    I look forward to you rreply.

    1.  No.  They don't get notified when you block them or unlock them. 2.  They don't receive a friend/contact request unless you send them one.  If you sent them a friend/contact request in the past, deleting them should nullify that request.

  • Unsolicited contact requests (spams / junk)

    I though Skype would have been a better platform, but it appears to be the worst of the worst.  I am constantly inundated with (mostly sexual) unsolicited contact requests.  I do not have the time to keep blocking every day.
    Does Microsoft have a plan and timeline on fixing this?  Else I will be uninstalling Skype.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    What I want is a solution that handles the problem terminatedly! I do get multiple unwanted requests daily (4 already and its only 9AM). This situation has gotten worse over the last few weeks.
    I talked with customer support and have set all the privacy settings according to recommendations and even changed my profile name - I was assured this would stop the requests. Well none of the recommendations work.
    So why have this privacy setting "Allow messages from: Contacts" if it does not work? Its a little like those buttons at crosswalks.
    It seems like a simple formula - contact request does not equal contact on my list = reject it! I will gladly add a person I want to my contacts. How you ask? They can call me on the phone, send me an email, talk to me in person, contact a friend, post on my Facebook - if they don't have any of these then they are a contact I don't need. Will this cause an inconvenience? Maybe but I am not unreachable.
    Skype is a tool. A very handy tool for texting, calling, file transfers, conferencing. I use it every single day.
    I sympathize with the person who started this thread. Their solution is unworkable for me since Skype is as integral to my business as an internet connection. So the only option Skype has left me is to close my account and open up another one.
    This is a VERY BIG hassle as anyone with hundreds of contacts might imagine.
    So I ask....make the privacy setting you promote really work. Exclude all contact requests, delete them, do not let them thru, obliterate them, send them all to SPAM hell if they are not on my contact list! Simple, easy, and straight forward.
    Can you do this?

  • Contact requests

    Hello, I keep getting contact requests fro us soldiers in Afganistan and don´t know how to stop them!Add me to you contact etc... I tried privacy in my setting, but somehow did´t succeed.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Skype application has built-in privacy settings that you can use to restrict who is allowed to contact you, but you can still receive new contact requests. This allows friends that you do not have in your contact list to ask to share contact details with you.
    Unfortunately, there is a small minority of people who abuse the Skype software. We have resources dedicated to a number of ongoing anti-spam initiatives so that we can effectively deal with people who send unsolicited messages.
    Please continue to block and report abusive users to us. This helps us to identify and prevent spammers.
    To block contact in Skype (Windows), please visit: https://support.skype.com/faq/FA10488
    To block contact in Skype (Mac), please visit:

    We are working hard to prevent spammers from contacting you, and we do take action against them where appropriate.
    Hope this helps.
