Skype hanging on Sign In
I am no longer able to sign in after upgrading to Skype 7 on Windows 7.
The program just hangs and then gives the following message:
We cannot start Skype becuase your system is unavailable.
Please trying restarting your computer and try again.
I get the same thing after restarting.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
Try to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Hey,
I am using skype on my laptop , tablet and android.
My skype refuses to sign in "incorrect password or skype name" , I resested the password and still it doesn't sign in on any of my devices.
I can sign in to the skype website, with the same username and password. But when I use it on the application itself it doesn't work.
In addition, if I try to use my microsoft account, the skype recognizes the account but doesn't sign in.
1. Anyone has a solution?
2. How can I contact the support of Skype ( Their actual support email)?! I don't want to look for the answers in the forum, I have money on my account.
Thanks!This exactly describes my problem, which went from bad (i.e., intermittent) to worse (i.e., never working) after the OS 10.10.3 Supplemental Update. I have tried many times. But after login, Skype just spins and hanges until I force-quit it. Except once, when it actually crashed.
Upgrading from 7.6 to 7.7 hasn't helped. Deleting the Application Support/Skype folder hasn't helped. Deleting the relevant Preferences file hasn't helped. -
Evolution hangs on signing message
Hi!
Since some days (I assume since the upgrade to 3.16.3) evolution hangs on signing messages with pgp. The message about signing the mail appears, but nothing happens. Confusingly enough, message encryption works fine, but decryption also hangs.

bjo

Skype hangs when I click a particular Contact
My Skype version: 7.0.60.102.
My Windows XP version: 2002 Service Pack 3.
For the last 2 days, I’ve observed that when I click a particular contact my Skype hangs. And I’d to restart the system. This happens irrespective of text or file transmission.
FYKI, this contact is using a slightly older version of Skype (6.21.0.104).
Please help!Try to reset all Internet Explorer settings:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
Also, reset LAN settings:
Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
If this will still not help, then uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version.

Why is skype no longer signing in automatically?
Hi,
On my computer (Win XP SP3), I have skype (5.3.0.120) set to sign in automatically, but not start automatically. Normally, when I click on skype in the start menu, it automatically signs in and goes straight to the main window with all my contacts and everything. Today, when I clicked on skype in the start menu, it gave me a log in screen. It remembers my user name but it is asking me to put in my password. (The 'sign me in when skype starts' box is still checked.) Why would it suddenly ask for the password? I am not aware of any updates this morning (and past updates have not resulted in this behavior). Is this a known issue with skype today, or is it possible my computer has been compromised? Is it safe to put in my password to log in to skype?
Thank you!

The problem, that Skype does not start when you start windows/logon, seems to be with version 5.5, both the Standard and business versions.
The simplest workaround is to disable the "Skype starts when I start Windows" setting and then add a shortcut to Skype.exe to the "Startup" folder.
This implies no changes of any setting of Internet Explorer or otherwise and can easily be reversed by removing (deleting) the shortcut.

JasonHi,
Did the issue happen only for one user or for multiple users?
If the issue happen only for one user, you can try to login on other well-worked computer with the issued Lync account to test the issue. You can also try to use another well-worked Lync account to login on the issued computer to test the issue.
If the issue happen for all Lync users, please also check if Lync Server 2013 update to the latest version.

Skype keeps on signing me out automatically after ...
Hi there, I just want to let you know, for the past few days, my Skype decided to sign itself out after a couple of hours, here are the steps I took to see if things improved, 1. I have unlinked my Microsoft account, 2. I have unlinked my Facebook account, then I have relinked my Microsoft account, so far, it staied stable, I tried relinking my Facebook account, there is where it started signing me out once again. I hope I'm not being singled out here as I've heard that others aren't having the same issue.
When you are automatically signed out of Skype after linking your Microsoft account:
Do you land on the Skype sign in screen again?
Any error message shown on that like "We've signed you out because..."?
Also: Do you happen to use the "Windows Live Mail" app with that same Microsoft account? We've seen reports of users getting signed out of Skype if they use that app: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Having-to-log-back-into-Skype-every-time-I-open...

Everything is fine when I place a call from my android tablet until the person I'm calling answers, then Skype hangs up and says the call failed. This even happens with the Skype test line. This just started happening today. I have used it before with no problems. Any suggestions?
I have an HTC Sensation XE with the latest updates for Skype and Android. I also have Skype on my Blu-ray Player. In addition my PC & Laptop, both Windows 7, have Skype installed.
What I have noticed is a consistent problem with Skype Android to Android and Blu-ray to Android. Android to PC or Blu-ray to PC is fine as is PC to Android or Blu-ray. This fault is repeatable and produces the same message, i.e. "call failed". It is almost as though the PC-Android and vice-versa is Master - Slave. Android to android or blu-ray is like slave-slave. Slave to Slave just doesn't work reliably.
Any ideas? -

When I sign into Skype it immediatley signs me back out. Like, when I turn on my computer, my skyper is always open. This morning it was fine, but when I got back from school it popped open and said I had to log in. I logged in, and about two seconds later, before anything even loaded up, it logged me right back out. I've been searching through the forms for about twenty minutes now, and seeing everyone else who has been having trouble simillar to this. I tried all of the things that people said to do, nothing works. I have Windows 8.1. I'm actaully getting very irritated with it at this point, so I'm just going to leave it until some one can help me, before I throw my computer at the wall. x'D

Finesse hangs at "signing in" for one user only
I have a single user account that is having issues. Yesterday we temporarily deleted his UCCX extension off of his phone, which pulled it out of the IPCC Extension field for a few minutes while we were making phone changes. Even after adding it back and setting him back up in UCCX, he is still having this issue
When he tries to log in, it hangs at "signing in".
Notes:
UCCX 10.5
User account/password are correct - we can use them to sign into the CUCM Self Care Portal page
It happens regardless of which PC we try to sign him in on. Other UCCX users can sign in on those same systems (under the same Windows profile) without issue.
We have emptied his IPCC Extension field in CUCM to pull him out of UCCX then added it back and added him back to his team/skills, but it still hangs at "Signing In"
The user is also an administrator and can use those credentials to log into the UCCX Administration page and make changes, verifying that UCCX is passing credentials correctly for the user.
While hanging, he does not show up in my Finesse Supervisor Team View page so the system does not see him as logged in.
The RMCM application user in CUCM is associated with his phone.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this?Hi,
Make sure the correct extension is defined in CUCM Admin/User Management/End User/IPCC Extension. Also, I would try removing and re-associating the device to the RMCM Application User.
