Skype Contact List question

Quick question...Can anyone tell me why my skype contact list doesn't have the magnifying glass and alphabet listed on the right side of the screen as the phone's internal contact list does? My wife has the exact same iPhone 4, with the same version of skype on it and her skype contact list has the alphabet bar.
I think it has something to do with my skype account because when I log in with her account on my phone, the alphabet bar show up. Likewise, when I log into my account on her phone, the alphabet bar disappears. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Skype contact list full of random people 1000+.

Turning on skype today surprise i have 1000+ contacts and all is sorted by alphabet similar each other like systematic from A to chinese. 100% no one knows my password so It is bug or virus. If virus he was waiting long time because all this days i was doing my standard things no random links no downloading files. I know 2 more virus but they was scripts + you need to download them or press on link in skype.
So what it is ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok! I see now. Very funny ... now you can make contact list. When you select ALL you will get ALL skype users ... i don't know how it changed to all. Only now just saw contact list overall.

Contact List Question

Hi,
If I recall correctly, prior to the recent update my contact list was arranged by last name or first name. After the update, it was arranged differently (visually speaking). The contact list was seperated alphabetically instead of all the names just being in order down the screen.
Well, my phone is not showing usage stats so I restored it last night and now the contact list is back to the same plain list. I prefer the names being physically grouped by alpha.
Is this a setting somewhere that I have over looked? I'd like to change it back.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
edited to add: The contact list looked just like the Artist or Song list in the ipod section.

Actually Damon, I found the answer on my own, lol. Apparently, the way one's contact list is displayed depends on the number of contacts you have on your iPhone. When I restored my phone last night and didn't sync my contacts, I had less than 20, giving me the boring looking list of names. Once I added contacts back and went over 20 total, it changed to the "ipod-like" list I was describing.
So...
under 20 contacts= plain jane list
20 or more contacts= much nicer, alpha sorted list

Contact list question please?

Sharing an iCloud account with my wife how do I establish a unique contact list for my iPhone6 ?

If you each want to have independent contact lists then you will want to go into the iCloud options on each of your devices and turn off the Contacts option. If you want to have a shared contact list and a separate one then I'm not sure you you would go about that or if it's even possible (at least through iCloud).

Skype name and contact list

Dear All,
I had to change my password. Unfortunately my skype name was changed, too.So, I lost my skype contact list. How can I get back the contact list and my previous skype name?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked). If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password.
Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

Font in contact list

My font in my contact list changed overnight to tiny. Why? And why can't we control our own font in Skype contact lists? How can i fix this?

In your case and your case only.
1. Please stop any and all running Skype Client programs on your system.
2. Using your Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs uninstall Skype, when prompted to save your history, choose yes.
3. Using Windows File Explorer do:
%appdata%\skype
If you find a file called shared.xml right click on it and choose delete.
4. If you see a folder for the Skype name in question, click on it, if you see a file called Config.xml right click on it and choose delete.
5. Using the Windows file Explore enter:
%programfiles%
Right click on the Skype folder and choose delete.
6. Please install the beta version using the instructions below:
If you have the normal Skype version installed, please install the beta version, if you have the beta version installed please install the normal version from Skype.com, please do NOT remove the current Skype installation, install over it.
You can install the current release or the Current beta release by doing this from the top of this page:
Get Skype -> Windows -> Choose the normal or beta release, please do NOT remove what you already have installed, simply, install over.
These instructions have worked for many and is the quickest thing to try to resolve issues such as this.
This should get fonts back to normal.

Use of my personal contact list

When asked about use of my contact list, I did NOT intend access to personal ID pictures of some of my contacts. Please do NOT use anything other than names and email addresses of my contacts. REMOVE sny pictorial/graphic display of any of my contacts.
THank you,
Ernest E.Reeves, M.D.
*edited for privacy*

Dear Dr. Reeves,
Please note, for your safety and protection: never, ever include personally identifiable information such as an e-mail address or telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this!
When asked about use of my contact list,
Please kindly clarify what this request was?
Did this have to do with adding a contact list to your Skype contacts list, and sending those who were not currently Skype accountholders a contact invitation?
If you wish to not view contact pictures on your Contact list, in the Win7 PC version of Skype, click on Tools -> Options -> General -> un-check Show Profile Pictures on Contact List -> Save.
Best regards,
Elaine

How to get access to my contact list?

I have successfully (?) installed Skype on my Galaxy tablet and logged in using my account name from my laptop version. But I cannot find my contact list. How to get access to that! Even my photo is present!

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to access my Skype contact list on my Galaxy S3 so that I can edit it, but I do not seem to be able to. I've gone to the help page to try and find out where it is, but the steps say to tap the three dots in the upper right corner for "More"...but I do not have that emblem?!?! Has this issue been resolved, or are people still unable to access their contacts?

My contact list email id check

how can i find my contact friend email id

if you wish to add someone to your Skype Contact list but do not know their Skype Name, it is possible to reference an email address that this person may have registered with Skype, but you must know that email address in its entirety to search Skype using it
I'm not not sure how this applies to users who use their Microsoft credentials to sign in to Skype
Regards,
Neil

I get unwanted skype contact requests

Hi I have set my privacy settings to receiving messages only from those on my contact list but I continue to get multiple requests a day from spam/unwanted users. I always block them but I would prefer to not receive them at all. I don't know how they see my skype account or name to be able to contact me past the security settings.
Thanks
Jennifer

Has anyone noticed that the sudden influx of unwanted contacts coincides with the closing off of MSN Messenger and Microsoft's insistence that one's original Skype entity MUST show your gender and birth date now. Reading through some of the various messages about this problem it seems to be mostly (but not always, of course) women who are getting spammed with these contacts.
Come on Microsoft/Skype... it's time that a Privacy Option is instigated to enable a user to disallow contact requests by default. Before you say this is unworkable, it just means that if you have "locked down" your privacy to only allowing, say, calls, video/share screen, and IMs from people in your contact list only, then if someone you know wants to be on your Skype contact list they would probably have asked you for your id another way and you could temporarily uncheck this option to "open it up".
And how come when the Allow IMs from... anyone/people in my Contact list only is set to the latter option, these requests still come through anyway. After all, they come as an IM.
Even if the above suggestion wouldn't be practical, it's well past time that someone starting thinking out of the box for a solution.

Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

Hi!
I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

Hi I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts?

Hi, Pancake12,
Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
- To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s...
- In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this. Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
- In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-organize-my-contacts In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
Hope this helps!
Elaine

I'm new to ipod touch, 4g. My questions is how can I download a contact list other than through facebook or yahoo or gmail?

You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.
Just where do you want to get/sync the contacts?

Add Contacts to Skype Manager members accounts (Contact List)

Hi All, I tried to disucuss this over live chat but had no luck as the tech guy kept asking if I wanted to add Skype credit for voice calls :-/ Basically what im asking for help with is if its possible to create group in Skype Manager, Create accounts and make them members of that group and then create a contacts list of other Skype manager users and then auto allocate that to all users within the group so when I give out the account details to my users when they login they already have the other company users added without having to login to Skype on the web and add them manually. Seems like a basic taks of managing a business with business accounts, if it doesnt exist can I request it as an upcoming feature Thanks Shaun

Looks like this is the only way my users in Skype Manager can add contacts who are also in Skype Manager:https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10867/how-do-i-add-other-members-of-my-skype-manager-to-my-contact-list-in-skype This is pathetic.

How can i see my skype contacts? how can i see the contact list or a menu bar to search for contacts?

i downloaded skype and couldn't see contacts or menu bar. downloaded a NEW account, put in separate credit, and still can't see contacts or find new ones. there doesn't seem to be that feature. a contact list and/or menu bar. please help????

Here is a link to a demonstration of Skype on You Tube. This might be of some help?

Have you signed into Skype with your Skype name and password? Do you have an interface similar to that shown in the video? Incidentally, the video demonstrates an iPad in landscape orientation.
