Skype Home not working

Hi...I have a laptop and I have had problems with skype home in the past, but not it will not work at all. It keep spinning.
I am using windows 7 professional. Last nite I used piriform defraggler instead of the one built into my computer and now skype home won't work. I don't know if that is the problem or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Faith

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. 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.

Skype is not working for almost a week in parts of...

Our skype is not working for almost a week nnow in some parts of Ghana

My friend and I have also been experiencing the same connectivity issues here in Ghana for about a week now. I am from the US and have had an account for several years. I have been using my account here in Ghana for over 6 months and had no issues up until last Thursday when Skype wouldn't connect. I am working on Mac OS 10.8.2 and I've tried everything from uninstalling/reinstalling Skype to creating a new account altogether, none of which are working. My friend who works on a PC has also experienced the same problem in the past week.
I entreat the Skype technical folks to find a quick fix as it is very frustrating to not be able to communicate with our friends and family. If anything, a courtesy email would have been appreciated if you were planning to cut off our service so that we wouldn't waste time trying to figure out the problem.

Skype Home Not Available

Hello, all!
So, for a while I'd log onto skype and get the message:
Skype - No Connection
Skype Home unavailableSkype Home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
It's easy to start a conversation on Skype:
Choose a contact and start talking
Call a phone or mobile from the dial pad, or send an SMS.
Now, at first I thought it might be that I wasn't signed into skype, but I checked and ensured that I was in fact registered as online, able to send/receive messages but not able to view skype home. Then when I heard about the new update, I uninstalled my current version and installed Skype 6.12.
Same issue- able to send/receive messages, but no skype home.
I'm running Windows Vista, 64-bit operating system. Internet explorer may be my issue, as it doesn't actually seem to work at all beyond google, but I don't know how to fix that problem at all.
Help?

The issue is with your Internet Explorer. Skype Home page is created using IE and this link:
https://apps.skype.com/home/
What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.

Skype number not working locally

My Skype number which is a Mexico City Prefix "55" is not working correctly. When I and customers try dialling from a land line we get connected with a poor old woman who seems to be getting all my calls to her home phone. I dont have call forwarding setup and it was working ok, I tested it.I have had flyers designed and printed with the number and had them delivered to thousands of homes and businesses. I am losing business and need this sorting ASAP!!!!!

Hi, PigMX, and welcome to the Community, We here in the Community do not have the tools necessary in order to test Skype Numbers. Please contact Skype Customer Service to explain the situation and request that your number be tested. Kind regards,Elaine

Skype number not working / long forwarding times

Dear Team,
my skype number is not working although I allowed everyone to call in my privacy settings. This has been happening quite often and now it is already down all day.
I put it on forwarding to my mobile number for now, but although i set the time to forwarding to one 2nd, it takes 20 seconds or so until my phone rings. Is this normal?
Can you please help me fix this. And please don't send me the customer service link with which i should click my way through. I tried many times to "click find" my answer. I hope a discussion with a human being helps.
Best,
Joerg

Hi, Maxchina, and welcome to the Community,
My hands are tied - you asked not to be provided with instruction how to contact Skype Customer Service - which you would have to click your way through - and which I would normally recommend you do just to double-check nothing is awry with your Skype Number.
Our Community Guidelines do explain that this Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service; no customer service agents monitor the posts here. We here in the Community are not authorized to access Skype accountholder files or records.
As far as the delay in forwarding, have you tried to set your "number of rings" setting in your client software settings to "0" (zero)? Sometimes that does the trick.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Skype Calls Not Working

I always used skype and it worked perfectly fine. But about a month ago, calls stopped working. When I tried calling someone it would say Connecting, but the timer would stay at 00:00. Then after the call ending/going to voice mail, it would tell the person that there was a missed call. However, they wouldn't get a notification popping up saying that I was trying to call. Same for me when they tried calling it wouldn't work and I will see that there was a missed call even though I was looking at my screen when they were trying to call. There would be no window popping up asking to accept the call as well. I tried doing stuff like deleting the Db temp files and renaming the skype program folder and it did not help. I need help with this because it is so frustrating. I even tried making new account and it would keep doing this.

Have you got this question resolved ever since? I've got the same problem with my iphone 5S. I've bought it a month ago as part of a 2 year contract with Orange France. My plan has 2Gb data on 4G. But only when I'm on wifi does any of those work (viber, facetime, skype). Once on data plan, no matter where I am in Paris, I can't hear people answering my facetime/skype/viber calls and they can't hear me either. Even though the status shows 4G (or sometimes 3G). I've tried disabling 4G and forcing 3G, the same. I've got the iphone replaced, then the SIM card replaced, the problem stays. I still have more than 1Gb left from my data so that's certainly not the problem. All softwares are updated (certainly downloaded, re-installed everything several times, phone factory reset, etc). I pay like 45 euros a month so I can't imagine this would be a 'simple plan' or maybe my VoIP got somehow disabled by mistake? I've been to 5 Orange stores and they sent me away that it must be application problem they don't know what's wrong. As I said, Apple got my iphone even replaced but didn't have more suggestions when it still didn't work. I'm kinda hopeless, doomed to go for 2 years with an iPhone 5S that can't use any audio communication applications from its data plan. Which is ridiculous cause that's one of the main reason I've bought a 5S, I was told this one can do Facetime on data plan too, not just on wifi.

My skype number not working

Hi my skype number [***] isnt working ....
pls chk and do the needfull asap
First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

Hi,
Additional information added: can the Skype number (formerly known as Online Number) be reached from a land or fixed line? If yes, can the number be reached from a mobile phone? If not, then the issue is different - the wireless carrier may not be recognizing the number.
If all else fails, please contact Skype Customer Service for assistance - they need to diagnose and resolve whatever the problem may be. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.

`Skype 7 not working & freezing screen for Windows...

I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64bit) 2 days back, and since then facing problem installing and running Skype. Skype 7 was working perfect on Home Basic. After reading through the various options given in the Forum, I have tried all the suggestions as below, but everytime there was a problem.
Re-Installed Win 7 Ultimate X64 for around 5times - no resolution
Re-Installed Skype 7 for around 10-15times - no resolution
Completed Windows Update - no resolution
Upgraded to IE 11 with all the patches.
Got latest version of Adobe Flash - no resolution
Got Latest version of Direct X - no resolution
Got latest JRE - no resolution
Tried changing the Compatibility Settings of Skype by right-click on the Desktop Icon - no resolution.
%appdata%\Skype\Apps renaming the Login folder and creating the shortcut of Skype icon side the Phone directory - no resolution
%temp%\Skype delete folder - no resolution
There were suggestions to install old versions of Skype - did that too but the same problem of freezing
Now, this is what I am facing:- Skype would install fine. (I learnt and unchecked "Run at Startup). Now when I click on the Skype desktop icon, two cases occur, either entire Windows would freeze or initially Skype would show a blank/white screen and become un-responsive eventually & then freeze the windows. Even Skype website would freeze the browser at times.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option only).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.
Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Hi, Gaza898, and welcome to the Community,
We here in the Community do not have the tools to diagnose and rectify problems with Skype Numbers, however Skype Customer Service does. 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 website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, pop-up dialog boxes, and disabling plug-ins which could prohibit pop-ups may help get past website problems.
If you still 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.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

Elaine

Skype is not working

I log into skype almost every day, and to my supprise it would not allow me today. so this is what i have done about it.
I tried logging into both of my accounts, using the skype program(not app) and niether worked.
Then I tried to change my password on my skype accunt
I tried logging in, still does not work, and if i am logged into the website and it is working here then it is obviusly not a problem with my passwords or typing it in incorrectly.
Then I tried updating to the most recent version, tried to log in, still nothing
Then I uninstalled it completely ad installed it again, tried logging in still nothing
I am running windows 8, so i figured lets try the windows made app, to my supprise my windows live account could log in which is good! but my other account, the one i am logged into currently, and the one i wanted to access will not work.
to log in with my skype account (not the terrible windows live account or the facebook one) with the windows app, it requires some bull**** windows live account set up crap, and hell no! why should i? it was working fine 12 hours ago.
So now I am very upset with this not working, I do not know what is wrong or what i can do to make it work.
I have two questions~
-why is it not working? i would like some help making it work!
-Windows have you ruined yet another decent chatting program with your foolishness?
Windows no offence but offence, you are **bleep** terrible, the layout for your app is terrible, go back to making your OS, the origional skype layout is best, do not **bleep** with what you can not comprehend or improve upon! we are not all 5 year olds that need half screen buttons to check out the different options, it is laggy, the layout has lag and delays between clicking the buttons to access different parts of it, windows you may do a better job creating programs for autistic and mentally/learning challenged people, let the big boys and adults handle the usefull things like skype, dont touch it!

Why has my skype stkpped working

Skype subscription not working - numbers blocked.

Hi there, I purchaced the skype unlimited landline package for £5 a month and when I attempted to use it to call the numbers I wanted I found that they were all blocked. So I logged in and canceled the sub and go to try and get a refund.
On the refund page, it asks me to enter order date. I enter in the date but afterwards it comes up saying to enter in the date of purchace, when the date was already entered.
I tried to email/live chat with skype however when I go to that page it says that they are currently experincing problems!
After reading around it seems like because I have used the package to try and make a call or 2 I cannot refund? I have a grand total of 2 miniutes logged up on the account where the calls have failed to connect. I find it highly unfair I should not be entitled to a refund for a service that does not work.
The number i tried to ring were in the UK (no longer connected numbers) and some in Finland which said that those numbers were blocked. I tried other countries such as Estonia and these numbers came up blocked too.
