Skype connection problem

I've used Skype for years now, and never have I really experienced this issue. Lately, Skype has been randomly going offline and coming back online, but then going back offline again. When it is online, messages still don't send. After saying I'm online again, it goes back offline and repeats the cycle until I restart my computer. This happpens primarily when I wake my computer from sleep mode, and will also happen after a few hours of being on skype. This does NOT occur on my phone, but appears to occur on the desktop version of skype. I've tried reinstalling and updating skype but the same thing occurs and Im forced to restart my computer. Sometimes I have to restart it a couple of times for Skype to work, otherwise, I have to use my phone. I have windows 8, and Skype comes pre installed, but I prefer the desktop version over anything. As stated earlier, this has NEVER happened to me before until recently. I started noticing it only occured after waking my computer from sleep mode and then eventually just started happening abruptly. When I ended Skype's process through task manager, I tried to log on again and it said "can't connect to skype" so I tried updating again and it told me something like "cant connect to the download server" and made me install a different thing. It didn't work at all.
I used to use only windows 8, until my windows forced me to upgrade to 8.1. During windows 8, this never happened and a few days after installing 8.1 against my will, this problem showed up and I'm unsure of how to fix it. (I dont like windows 8.1 because it would excessively time out my connections to my wifi. but it doesn't do that anymore, or with certain ISPs for the most part.) Hopefully there is a solution, skype is my main source of connection :\.

Skype connection problems

How do I get connected to use Skype? This is what I get when I try to make a video call:
You have lost internet connectivity or your status is Offline. Please check your connection or change your status and try again.
I'm connected to DSL at the time. But I don't know how to "change your status".
Thanks,

Hi,
Welcome to  Discussions
I use Skype (same version) sometimes my sound cuts in & out, I am not sure if that is what you mean by......
but downloaded message was very jerky (about one word evry 10 words) and not understandable.
I presume you are using headphones, a must have.
Regarding the crashing, go to Home/~Library/Preferences folder & find the com.skype.skype.plist file & move it to the trash.
If the crashing doesn't stop, you may have better luck with Skype 2.6 Beta,
http://share.skype.com/sites/mac/. See their help pages on the web-site,
it is a Skype issue, and you may get more help there.
Good luck,

Skype connect 3cx phonesystem - dtmf problem

Dear community members,
i've run into a brick wall. im using 3cx phonesystem, with skype connect mapped on a single channel. My problem is on dialing the skype in number 3cx phone system detects the call and forwards to the one of the extensions, but the problem is the dtmf doesnt gets transmitted, im using an ivr application and the same application is working fine if the call is forwarded from an isdn gateway.
As per the technical details, i think that skype connects forwards dtmf tones in the standard rfc format.
Please help as this is a urgent matter for us and we need to get it working.
P.S. : My server hardware doesnt have a sound card installed.

I am sorry to say I have no answer for you, but it sounds like you are further than I am in the 3cx configuration. Would you mind posting some of the steps you had to do to get 3cx to receive calls from Skype? I

my current system has a voice gateway E1 to the PSTN.. is it possible to give this voicerouter access to the internet and use to connect to skype instead of the cube?

Skype connect and bye more credit

I already paid 2 times 10 Euro each time through paypal. And in member features - I have 20 Euro Skype credit. But, when I attempt to do anything with Skype connect - my credit is 0, and I am again prompted to by more credit. But I do not need any skype services. I just need to see how Skype connect can be setup.
It is simple. For me, my country etc - there are many much better much cheaper services, and Skype can't offer nothing to beat them. But my client wants to use Skype Connect, and I have to solve his problems.
Unfortunately up to this moment, I see - Bye more credit, Bye more credit, and even I bought 2 times 10 Euro more credit, in Skype connect I have 0 credit and Bye more credit.
Unfortunately I can't see how I can send direct question to support, with all data of "bought" credit etc...
I was ready to pay something to setup Skype Connect, but it seems I am just paying to get nothing.

This is a killer for professional users. I postponed my plans to get / promote a business account until Microsoft gets its act together.

Rocketfish webcam connectivity problem

I have a (Best Buy) Rocketfish Notebook Web Camera RF-NBCAM which comes with its own software: Webcam Monitor. I stupidly downloaded macam version 0.9.0 and now my Powerbook won’t recognise that a camera is connected in any programme except Webcam Monitor (eg in Skype and ichat)... I think there is a connectivity problem, but don't know how to rectify it. I have tried to uninstall all the programmes and reinstall Webcam Monitor and Skype to no avail. I would really appreciate advice. eg. are there preference/configuration files lurking that might be looking for macam, and if so how do I access them? Thank you!

Did you install http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iusbcam/ to get the cam to work.

Skype Connect - adding extension numbers to large ...

Hi
We are looking at Skype Connect to provide access to all our workers via their desk extensions. we have sucessfully trialled a number of users by manually adding account details and extension numbers.
The problem is the next step of rolling out to all users. i can see i can create the business accounts via CSV file, but i cannot see a method of adding the extension numbers to specific users.
do i have to do this task manually or am i missing a trick.
Any advice out there?
Many Thanks
Andy

You should look at this site:

The variables rdinfoCurrentSlide (current slide) and
rdinfoSlideCount (total slides) are what you're looking for, and by
downloading the FLA-file from the link above, you'll get this.
Export the FLA to SWF, import it as an animation to be visible

I think that's what you're looking for. ;)

Skype Connect & Unlimited Call Plans

We are currently using Elastix (Asterisk based) to receive and make calls in our office. Since we are already using Skype on our laptops, it would make sense to use Skype in the office as well. However, as a startup company with minimum needs, we need to keep an eye on cost.
I already browsed through the forum and it appears that people are using Skype with Elastix successfully, but what about the calling plans? Can we just sign up for Skype Connect and link to an unlimited plan to make outgoing calls? I am guessing that we would require one plan per channel?
I saw the call limitations for the unlimited calling plans, but we would never exceed the listed totals.
Thanks!

With a Skype Connect SIP channel subscription and Cisco SPA504g, am I able to use my Unlimited World calling plan for outgoing calls, or am I forced to use the standard Skype calling rates for outgoing calls, or is another entirely different option possible?
If I am forced to use the standard Skype calling rates, does that mean 4.5¢1/min for Johannesburg, South Africa?
Thank you.
Unlimited world or other calling subscription available for personal accounts won't work for SIP account(Skype Connect). Calls using Skype Connect will use Skype Credits or the 5000 calling minutes to US (The only calling subscription for SIP).

Timeouts and connection problems after 5.1(2) upgrade

AIM/chat and some other programs are having timeout/connection problems after upgrade to 5.1(2). I am using S241 also. The connection problems stopped when the IPS was set to bypass. Rebuilt IPS and left sigs at default settings and problem is still happening. I am not seeing any of the IPs that are having the problem in the Event Viewer or on the Events in the IDM.
Any known issues with the 5.1(2) that would cause this type of problem?

I don't know specifically, but I did notice that 5.1(3) was released today.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .
