Skype cannot connect on Desktop only

Hi all,
The skype on my laptop worked for a period of time and currently when i started to go back to skype on my laptop, it keep showing the alert for "Skype can't connect". After reading some posts here, I can't troubleshoot my issue. Please advise.
My Skype version: 7.4.0.102
Windows: 7 professional (64 bit)

... peace!
I had the above the same way for some time - I just retried several times and now I cannot login due to mismatch of Windows account and skype account .. my old skype name is connected with my gmail-account and my skype-app yet with my hotmail-account ... I am sitting infront of a light blueish screen with two options: Already Skype-User? ----- New to Skype (translated from german)
.. then underneath it says: Logged in via [e-mail removed for privacy and security] - so no login via old skype-name is possible ..

Help! Playbook OS upgrade blew me away - cannot connect to Desktop SW anymore

I got notice of an OS upgrade and accepted it. After upgrading the OS and upgrading the Desktop and Driver on my Win 7/64-bit laptop, I can no longer successfully connect my Playbook to the Desktop Manager on my laptop.
OS is 2.0.1.358
BB Device Manager is 7.0
BB Desktop SW is 7.2011 (Bundle 38)
I have done everything I can thing of, rerunning the process 12 times without joy. My Playbook says, "Connected to Computer" and I can see the CD directory, but the Desktop SW says, "Disconnected" no matter what I do. I have tried multiple USB cables, rebooted both the PB and the laptop numerous times, yet each time I attempt to connect, the Desktop SW says "Disconnected."
I am hoping, since I made sure not to check the box to delete everything when I reinstalled the Desktop SW, that the pictures and apps I had installed on the initial version of 2.0 have not been tossed. Apparently, the AppStore does not keep track of what apps I have bought or installed previously, so I think they are all lost forever. I can reload many of the pictures I had on it before, but some I haven't transferred may be lost forever. I am not seeing a "safety net" - heck, my Amazon account remembers everything I put on my Kindle.
I had been doing a full backup via the Desktop SW every week, just in case, but if reinstalling the Desktop SW dumped everything I am going to have to find a safer and more reliable means of backing up in the future.
If you have any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing them. I really would like to get my PB back into working order, preferably with all the apps and pictures I had on it before...

Can you start the "firmware recovery"-mode ? (Connect playbook powerd off to pc, then a message for recovery will appear?)
My W-Lan is completely secure. Wether I nor a hacker would use it with a playbook

Cannot Connect to Desktop Manager

For some reason I can not get my Playbook to connect to the Desktop Manager. I have tried on 2 seperate computers (one XP and one Vista). I have tried deleting and reinstalling the latest version of DM. I know it's not the cable as I am able to connect my Bold 9700 with no issues. On the XP computer it just doesn't recognize it. The Playbook itself goes to the "Connected to Computer" screen, however the device doesn't show up as connected or under My Computer. In the Device Manager it's listed at a Network Device (With a yellow exclamation point) and when I click on it, it says "Device can't start". On the Vista Machine it shows up in DM as an Unknown Device and a window pops up saying "Desktop Manager cannot communicate with this device"
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try turning off your wireless. I had the same problem at work. Our wireless at work is outside the office wired network and the software will not let you connect if your computer is not on the same network as the playbook. Once I turned off the wireless it worked great.

Skype cannot connect. (Windows XP, Skype version 3...

Hi there,
Since yesterday I can not connect to my account. I've also tried on three different PCs at home and tried to connect to couple of different accounts. Probably issue with my internet supplier, but I've decided to search for help here at first. How should I proceed from now on?
Thank you!

I am also looking for an alternative to skype now that they have greatly disresepcted paying customers. Do you have any good suggestions?
Not known any alternatives yet. Goolge+ has some sort of function for real time videocalls, which runs on browser, without need to install anything on the background. But it's not same as Skype and it doesn't support wireless handsets.
I think there's a lack of fast working instant messenger for now. Some skilled programmers could create new P2P instant messenger to replace Skype.
Here's some ideas for it (anyone can feel free to use them):
- Open source
- Written in C or some other goor programming language that creates native code, and can be ported to any platform. Native code means, that it will run FAST, with minimum amount of memory needed to do things (that's 100% opposite of the principle of current Skype versions).
- De-centralized P2P network architecture which is not owned by anyone and which cannot be sold to Microsoft or other companies (which will just spoil the product, like happened with Skype). Little bit like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which do not have any "central" organization behind them and the product kind of "lives" in the network, when each node will help to keep it living.
- End-to-end encryption of all communications, with traffic routing thru many nodes (just like tor nework). No goverment / NSA backdoors included.
Let's hope that we will see something like this in some day...

Cannot connect with Desktop Software

Hi,
Now, I am trying really hard to have faith in my Blackberry products. I must tell you, it's not easy. Last month, I ran into a lot of problems when backing up and updating my Torch (link: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Torch/Password-manager-data-lost-during-update/m-p..., and this time, I have problems hooking 2 tablets to my Desktop software.
Here is now my problem:
The Desktop Softwre takes at least 4 minutes to connect to my tablet. Once it connects, I can't have access to the left side menu, where it says: "Files" and also the "Video" menu. When I click there, it says: “A problem occurred while attempting to connect to your blackberry device” Therefore, I cannot transfer any files and videos into my Playbooks.
Also, the computer doesn't recognize it as an additional drive/memory. So, I cannot drag and drop files/videos that way neither. I know I was able to do this the first day I got my playbooks as I did transfer a couple of videos that way.
These 2 playbooks are barely new - and both cannot be hooked with the BB Sofware, therefore, I think my problem may be with the software, not with the units. Please help me.
Thanks so much !!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Turns out to be my WiFi. I don't know why, but I have to turn off WiFi on both of the tablets to be able to have it linked with my PC.
OK, I can live with that.
Thanks guys for your replies.

Skype Cannot Connect Issues?

since updating to the 6.2 skype, im unable to use skype,
after i sign in, it appears as it would be signing in, but this loading screen takes alot longer then usual, (around 1/2 minutes) then it would cancel my sign in with the comment ( ! Skype can't connect)
before updating skype, it was working fine,
to try to fix this I have done all the following:
restart/shutdown, given time just incase it was maintence problem
reinstalled/uninstalled
(would of downloaded a previous version but they have discontinued them) so this is a no
deleted share.xml file
changed advanced connection options
all these are done, and not a change in where the "skype can't connect" is different
HELP!!
windows vista
skype 6.2 (not working as mentioned above)
internet connection just fine
prior from last to 6.2 versions, only the 6.2 update is the only thing i have changed in where im getting this error
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In case you have leftover proxy/policy settings for Skype in you registry you can run this to purge them. I would recommend exiting Skype completely, running the program then restarting Skype. All this program does is delete the registry keys then immediately exits.

If nothing changes, then the problem lies elsewhere.

"Skype cannot connect"

Hi there, I'm reverting to an older version of the skype client due to the fact that the ability to block people in group conversations was removed, along with conversation topic pictures.
I have an offline installer for the version of the client that I need, but despite uninstalling the up to date, but heavily downgraded version, all my settings seem to stick when I try to install the version I need.
I suspect this is why I can't sign into the skype servers, and I can't help but notice that the support page, which has EXACTLY the information I need, is down, and has been for several days.
As such, can anyone here tell me how to totally wipe Skype off of my system? I want it gone, nuked, vaporised, blasted to smithreens, I want nothing left so I can re-install my chosen version.
I'd be unspeakably grateful for any help.

Okay, slight digression, but why in the name of all that's bloody holy was this removed, that's like selling a car after smashing the windows and scoring the paintwork. What the fu - Why would you do that?
What do you possibly gain from removing important features?
So, just to clarify, there's no way I can have a working version that allows me to block people in group convos without some kind of third party thing?

Cannot connect to wifi: Only at home!

Okay, I'm at my wits end here. About a month ago my 13"MBP stopped connecting to MY wireless network/internet. It works everywhere else, no exceptions.
Sooo...I tried the usual: Permissions, Keychain, Service Order, Security types (WEP, WPA, None, etc). Nothing. So I assumed it was the router (Belkin N1).
I'm now on my 3rd router (another Belkin, Linksys, and now a D-link) and nothing works. I know they are set up correctly (but you never know). I'm on Comcast, btw with a Motorola Surfboard SB5101 cable modem. Again, it all used to work fine! My iphone connects. My nephews iPod Touch connects. Not my mac. Grrr.
What gives? Why would my computer connect anywhere else but not at home? What haven't I tried yet?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Tricky issue. I once had similar problems with a router and Leopard (not SL).
These days a Netgear and Snow Leopard works really well.
Anyway, I have some suggestions.
-As suggested does it connect without security? Would be interesting to know if the routers are at least giving it an IP address without WEP or WPA.
-Personally I'd use WPA over WEP. I had issues with WEP with Macs.
-When deleting your old settings (from the list in Network Preferences>Advanced>Airport tab) does it honour this and ask for a new password when you try and connect, or does it just try to connect using old settings?
Open /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ and in finder's search look for a .plist file with 'airport' in the title and delete it.
Then try and re-connect.
-reset the PRAM and SMC controller on your mac.
-use a different network name/password instead of using old settings. If you still get the error, try resetting the router to try and get it to assign an ip properly.

Cannot connect VIA Remote Desktop to Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine

I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise running in a Hyper-V VM. For some reason I cannot connect to the VM using remote desktop. I am using a Microsoft account and remote desktop is enabled and my account has access. I am able to see the VM under
networks and access shared folders. The error I am getting is "Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer....".
Any ideas?

My account has access to RDP. The firewall rule to allow RDP was missing the permission for public networks. After this change the RDP client can find the computer and I can get in. Yay!
Thanks for the tip to check the firewall.

I keep getting an error when trying to update an app- cannot connect to store. I logged out from my account and tried to log back in and got the same error. I am doing all this from my phone since I no longer own a personal computer (only work)

I keep getting an error when trying to update an app- cannot connect to store. I logged out from my account and tried to log back in and got the same error. I am doing all this from my phone since I no longer own a personal computer (only work) since I use iCloud and I tunes match

YAY!!! Saved it in my Mac's Firefox Bookmarks for easy future access!
Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

HELP! when I click on App Store from my desktop, I get an error message: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". What does this mean?

After I get the abovemention error message, the only option I have is to click "OK". Doing that gives me a white blank screen with the only option to "Cancel". Clicking on that brings up an Update screen to update an app I never downloaded. What's going on? How do I get rid of this?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Blackberry Desktop 6.1.0.35 cannot connect to Blackberry Bold

Blackberry Desktop version 6.1.0.35 (6/7/11 bundle 34) cannot connect to my Blackberry Bold 9650 (sw ver. 6.0 bundle 2333). The previous Blackberry Desktop version (some flavor of 6) was working just fine. When I tried clicking "installed applications", the Blackberry reacted as though it were being accessed by Desktop, but after a little while, the same message about not being able to connect reappeared. I've been through the checklist of things to check for troubleshooting, and nothing has worked, even after a reboot. FWIW, I'm running Windows XP.

Another Updated, I'm getting there,
Moving .rem files to the media folder using the desktop does not unencrypt them.
Mailing an encrypted pic to myself worked fine.
I changed my camera setting to save to the media card and now I can download the ones I just took with the desktop manager so we're now ok for any future pics.
So, is there a way to get the encrypted ones down to my laptop at this point or do I have to mail them all one a time?
Thanks
Gary

I cannot connect any skype accounts on my Eurostar...

Hello. I have tried for a number of days now to connect 'preloaded' skype on my Eurostar Smart TV. I have used my existing account details and also tried with my Microsoft account, but no joy. I have also tried to create a new skype account on my tv.
All these things respond with the message 'cannot connect to skype at this time, please check your mobile settings and try again'.
I am connected to my wireless router and have a good internet connection.
Can anyone help? This TV was bought for my kids playroom so they can skype their grandparents as we live a long way from home.
Thank you

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Can you pleaes share the exact model name of your Eurostar Smart TV? This way we can verify the support situation for the Skype for TV app used on that model.
