"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.
What do you see now when you open this link in your Internet Explorer?

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 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.

All contacts offline and skype home unavailable?

Today i got on my computer to play some games with my friend, so i started skype up. It opened and i saw he was offline, which was strange because he leaves his skype on online. So i opened the contacts tab, and every single contact was offline, even Echo sound test was offline. I tried reinstalling skype and it didnt work. I tried once again. didn't work . Im going to backup my skype folder and delete anything skype related after my uninstall. Then im going to reinstall it, and hopefully that will fix it. I am open to any answers, and I hope i'm not the only one getting this error.
Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help

If you are on one of the latest Skype versions (>6.3), then do also this:
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.

Thanks for your help! It worked and now my skype is correctly identifying who is online. I appreciate your help!

I've no idea if it's related, but recently I started getting an error on my Box Sync desktop client, saying "Navigation to webpage cancelled". This is their response. It means nothing to me, and I didn't even try the solution because it seems too much effort. But is it possible the "Skype home unavailable" issue is related?
We made a recent security change to our servers because of the SSL3 Vulnerability. Our servers are now blocking SSLv3. This may cause your Box access with Internet Explorer (IE) to show an error message: "This page can't be displayed". (This issue may also affect Box Sync, Box Edit, Box for Office, Box for Outlook)
This can be fixed in IE Advanced Settings for SSL/TLS. Microsoft is working on a security update for the IE browser. Until then, please apply the workaround below:
Individual Users: Disable SSL 3.0 and enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Internet Explorer
You can disable the SSL 3.0 protocol in Internet Explorer by modifying the Advanced Security settings in Internet Explorer. To change the default protocol version to be used for HTTPS requests, perform the following steps:
On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
In the Security category, uncheck Use SSL 3.0 and check Use TLS 1.0, Use TLS 1.1, and Use TLS 1.2 (if available).
Click OK.
Exit and restart Internet Explorer.
Note After applying this workaround, Internet Explorer will fail to connect to Web servers that only support SSL up to 3.0 and don’t support TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2.
Your access to Box should work fine after applying the changes above and restarting IE.

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.

I cannot send/receive photos or view my Skype home...

Since I first downloaded Skype, I have never seen the Skype home or have been able to send or receive photos. They have always been unavailable for me. Everything else works fine, though (video messages and such).
I'm pretty sure I have the most updated version (7.4). I use Google Chrome as my browser and my laptop runs on Windows 7. I heard that installing IE8 works for most older computers, but I'm not too sure it'd work for me.. Please help ;-;

On Windows 7 computers you need to update your Internet Explorer to the latest IE11 version.

Can't Join Group Chats, Can't Receive Files, and Skype Home Doesn't Work

Okay, so back when Windows 8 was newer I got my current laptop and when I saw Skype's original Windows 8 design, I said hell no to that and downloaded an earlier version of Skype instead. When Skype did that big overhaul and stopped support for all older versions, I was at least happy to see it was back to being on the desktop instead of that Windows 8 pseudo-tablet nonsense. But at the same time, I stopped getting notifications from Skype Home - it always says it's unavailable. Some time after that, in between Skype's updates, I started having trouble with Groups. Every time someone tried to add me to one, I couldn't see it, even if they said I was in it on their screen. Eventually I had to start making all Group Chats myself, because at least then it worked for me... up until the 7.7 update. Now no matter how I try to get into a Group now, it straight up doesn't work. And before I got locked out of Groups entirely, I started having issues with files, right around when the "inline photos" thing happened - they just don't work when sent to me, and I can't send them either. When people try to send them to me it's just a grey image and something about how it's not supported or it didn't go through. I've sort of just been patiently dealing with all of it until the newest update when Groups stopped working entirely and I was in the middle of trying to join an important conversation. I Googled that specific issue and found a ton of unresolved threads about it dating back to at least 2013, I believe. I tried every suggestion I could find - I restarted, uninstalled Skype, reinstalled Skype, restarted after uninstalling and then reinstalling... the list goes on. Every time I got it back, it was the same. Now I'm on Windows 8.1, and I don't know if that's related, but my boyfriend - who uses a Mac - is having none of these problems whatsoever, and he also has the latest version of Skype. With older versions of Skype not available, I ended up trying Skype Web, and it's letting me see all the Groups, which is the most important thing but I'd really prefer to go back to the desktop version. All three of my issues might be unrelated, but they've all progressed as Skype has updated so I figured I'd try to get help for all of them. I'm at my wit's end, here. I use Skype for a pretty large portion of my online communication, and being unable to use Groups or get files is really crippling the experience.

Hi,
I have the same problem.
Since I'm using my new Laptop with Skype 7.0, I can't join to a group chat.
It's a public chat and joining is enabled.
With my former laptop and former Skype-Version, I never had this problem.
I could click on a link in the browser and joined to the group.
I have to chose a program.
Unfortunately Skype.exe seems not to be the right decision.
I'm asked to get a Skype-app, which I never needed with the old version.
Which kind of app do I need and how can I get the app or what else can I do?

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.

How do I delete updates displayed on skype home pa...

There are updates on my skype home page that are years old, and serve no purpose. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete them. There is a selection to hide them, but none to delete.
Mac OSX 10.6.8
skype 6.15 (335)
Thanks
JLS

No, it is my bank app on my homescreen only. I have two of them. But there is one that is grey looking that I put on my pad from the web site that I want in my documents on pages and not on this home screen where google and google+ etc. is.
