Skype home unavailable and not letting me make cal...

I have windows 8 on my desktop. I just downladed Skype so it is the newest version. I can sign in however the home page is unavailable, I can't add contacts, or make calls. I have disabled any automatic updates still not working.

Try first 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.

    Have restrictions been enabled?
    Is it possible that in app purchases have been restricted? Also is it possible that there could be restrictions in place regarding content? Could ratings be in place for the magazines?

  • Skype Home Unavailable for weeks - what can i do?

    Hello,
    Please could you help?   Since updating my skype on my Windows 7 laptop, i've been unable to make / receive video calls on my laptop (i do not have a smart phone or a tablet).  The message i have on my home page is "Skype Home Unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts."  I have Windows 7 & 64 bit version, Service Pack 1.   I have tried your troubleshooting help on your support page and disabled the compatibility mode as advised and i have rebooted my laptp to no avail.  Your help pages extensively cover problems with Windows XP (a downgraded version of mine) or Windows 8 however not much is mentioned about windows 7.  My daughter in Australia has been trying to call me and i would really like to see on a call with skype. 
    Any help would be grately appreciated,
    Many thanks
    Allen

    Your connection status on Skype is Offline. When Online, the status icon next to your name must be solid green with a white checkmark inside. Try to change the status using the dropdown arrow next to this icon.

  • "Skype Home Unavailable"

    I've got this problem for more than a year
    every time i enter skype this is what i see
    "Skype Home Unavailable
    Skype home is unavailable at the moment. Check back later to see your news and alerts.
    its 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"
    i can call contacts, text them, change profile pictures and do what ever i want
    the only problem is with Skype Home
    doesnt work...
    i got Windows XP
    and the fact that i got this problem for more than a year shows you it has nothing to do with updating Skype
    how can i fix this???

    IE8 is the latest version for Windows XP.
    Try this:
    Reset all Internet Explorer settings:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
    Open Internet Explorer. Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN settings. Make sure that the only option selected is “Automatically detect settings”.
    Clear all Temporary Internet Files.
    Open Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> General. In the section “Browsing history” press the “Settings” button and in the next window the “View files” button. Delete all files from the Temporary Internet Files folder.

    Your question doesn't make sense. Facebook has nothing to do with syncing an iDevice. Explain your problem if you want an answer.

  • Its not letting me make an online reservation, anyone know why?

    apple online is not letting me make a reservation, anyone know why?

    What do you mean, exactly? What kind of "online reservation". What do you mean by "Apple online"?
    Can you be a little more specific about what you are trying to do, and what is preventing you from doing it?

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)
