Skype issues???

Does anyone know how to get Skype to ring on the iPhone 5? It worked just fine until all of the updates and now it will not ring,  nor will it even show it had a call.  I have all of the alerts turned on for the app, but it just isn't working.  Thanks for any and all suggestions

There is the possibility that this has to do with the Supernode that you end up using when you're at home.  Since Skype on both ends I imagine (or at least your end) is behind a firewall, it's likely that you may not be able to form a direct client to client connection for the conversation.   When that happens, Skype employs a third machine (established nodes on the public internet -- and at one point any user's machine could essentially become a supernode although I'm not sure that happens anymore)  which acts as a "proxy" to which both parties connect (actually, supernodes talk to one another and each endpoint can be connected to a different supernode making for at least 4 or more machines in the mix) and thru which the conversation then travels.   the traffic is encrypted, so no real risk, but it's a third party path which involves both bandwidth and performance fo the third party systems in terms of how well the call performs.
When you were on a public wifi network, you may have found a different supernode with much better performance characteristics or even a direct path.

  • URGENT Skype issue with hacking accounts

    Hello,
    I'm Dan, and just about an hour ago, I managed to recover my account after a 30 minute live chat. I run an online business and a lot of my work involves Skype. In other words, Skype is key to my business. All of my partners work through Skype, so without Skype, I'd be in a bit of trouble.
    At 7am this morning, I checked my emails and found I had an email sent to my primary Skype email address stating that my "Registered email successfully changed". Immediately I knew what had happened.
    I contacted Skype support (after having to buy a premium account for £6), they were very helpful but I was not happy about paying £6 due to an issue on Skype's behalf. After my live chat was closed I was told to be sure that I don't get phished or install any kind of virus which may discover my Skype password, I knew that these would not be benefitial due to the circumstance.
    So how does it work?
    Before I begin explaining, I am referring to the person who changed the email as a "hacker".
    So, firstly, the hacker contacts Skype support, I don't know whether it was live or not but they had to contact support. The hacker claims they are me, stating that they forgot their password and you can't access your email either, so your primary email would have to be changed. Ofcourse, there is some verification. The person at the other end of the support chat will ask for some recent activity on your account.
    In my case, the hacker had used multiple VPN's to add me, had added me on several accounts, this was completely oblivious to me, that they were all the hacker. I had accepted these accounts as the contact requests seemed like they were legitimate. So, all the hacker had to say was 1. I added "Micheal Potter" today. 2. I added "Randy Parker" today and so on.
    They may have been asked to verify an address, this wasn't struggle for the hacker. For me, the hacker had to do a simple WHOIS lookup on my domain. The majority of people have their address openly available somewhere, I know for sure that my address is on many forums, websites etc. So just stating your address, is definetely not enough information.
    Shortly after, my email address must have been changed and it is surprising that Skype have not done something about this common flaw in their security.
    How can this be resolved?
    Not allow the changing of emails on accounts - if you have an issue accessing your email. you should have your email provider deal with it.
    Add further verification e.g. phone numbers, secondary emails that they must verfiy, proof of address sent over (you'd never see another company changing information without ID sent from that email address or further verification other than just confirming some account activity.
    Atleast check the IP address the support request was sent from!
    I hope you look into this problem and resolve it immediately.

    I watched as this happened, and many other around the same time. There are guides being sold on how to exploit your support team and steal accounts. I no longer feel safe using skype, and I am really scared right now. I share a lot of very personal things on skype  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Shame on you,

  • Isight and skype issues

    ive been using my firewire connected isight to talk to my girlfirend back home while im in rome for the quarter. everything has been going fine, im on my 15 inch powerbook g4 and she just got a macbook. isight has been fine, no real issues except for the horrible internet here.
    anyways, i let my friends download skype beta for mac so they could use my camera to talk to people back home and it seems that ever since then my camera does not function properly. i can use it to see myself and all that goodstuff, and my computer recognizes it fine in the system profiler but it wont connect, citing an error -8. i have a whole log on what happens if anyone want to read it. i know its not her camera because i used a new intel imac to talk to her isight to isight on the same network.
    anyways, i was thinking its a settings thing and skype modified my internet setting which wont allow my ichat to connect to hers properly. if there is anyway to reset this or any other ways i could fix this please let me know.
    powerbook g4 15 dvi   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    ... my camera does not function properly.Assuming your iSight's function problem occurs when using iChat AV, page down in this page to the section titled "Error Messages in 10.4.7 ". There are some suggestions there about your error.
    If your iSight fails with apps that do not connect to the internet, you may find useful suggestions here.

  • [SOLVED] yaourt skype issues

    Hi all,
    When I issued "pacman -Syu" it also upgraded skype from 2.0 to 2.1 beta. Sadly, skype doesn't work anymore.
    Therefore I tried downgrading the package. I searched for the package and found it: http://arm.kh.nu/community/os/i686/skyp … pkg.tar.gz.
    I then did:
    yaourt skype-2.0.0.72-2.pkg.tar.gz
    It installed without a problem, but when I input "skype" in my terminal, it gives me:
    bash: /usr/bin/skype: No such file or directory
    However, ls -al /usr/bin/skype gave me:
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13859316 2008-06-22 14:31 /usr/bin/skype
    What's wrong here?
    Thanks in advance!

    Running 32 bit executable on 64bit is not just as simple. 32bit compiled binary will not work on x86_64 system without 32bit libs.
    Thanks, I'll try that now, for some reason I overlooked the x86_64 package, while I was searching for it.

  • Huge skype issue, skype customer service doesn't c...

    Hello, I have a Skype (Baddieisboss) which I have used for over 2 years to run a business. I have accumulated over 5000 contacts throughout the 2 years which were customers and potential customers. Today I woke up, my Skype was logged off and it had said I had been blocked from using Skype. I contacted customer support and they told me I was suspended permanently for solicitation (breach of paragraph 6.3 (c) of the Terms of Use which prohibits the use of the Skype software to send unsolicited communications). I dug into this issue a bit more because I have never spammed anyone for any reason and found out that there was a huge loop hole that people are taking advantage of to close down Skype accounts with ease. All it takes is to make a few fake Skype accounts, add the person and use the report abuse function. The person doesn't even have to accept your friend request for you to do this. Customer service gives you automated messages saying it will not be reversed and to make a new account. Their automated system is very flawed and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. There are many other posts of people who are having the same issue. Russians add you, tell you to pay X amount of money or they will have your account banned, and voila 10 minutes later you're offline.I have tried to contact the skype email several times, they send automated messages and don't care about their customers at all, please help.
    Thank you,
    James.

    Hi James,
    Sorry to hear about your account being blocked. I've asked Skype CS to review that block again.
    We are working to improve our abuse reporting system to make it more robust against false reports like this.

  • Major skype issues.

    Something has gone horribly wrong with my skype client. Whenever I open it up, it pulls up a blank transparent window. Anything that I want to show up I have to mouse over. It's irritating and broken enough, however nearly any other application on my computer works improperly or fails to launch whatsoever when I try to open them at the same time Skype is running. I do often get an error message saying "There is not enough data to process this command" on extremely simple things, such as switching from one conversation to another. Sometimes something goes wrong and Skype displays the message over and over again no matter how many times I close it, and I end up having to use the task manager to terminate it. I have tried complete removal and reinstallation to no avail. I am using  Windows XP (32bit) with Skype 7.7. Any ideas regarding how to fix this?

  • RV082 Skype issue

    Hello,
    I just want to know can we seperate skype traffic on cisco RV-082 router or fix to 1 WAN connection to balance load? Our 80% load on router is from Skype and due to dual WAN we are facing issues in Skype voice calls.

    And http is just another protocol.  Put an entry in for each WAN to bind http requests to that WAN.  Whatever WAN Skype starts out on is where it will stay.
    I've run across the same problems you've described with other things I run via http and https, like my server's control panel.  Once it detects another IP, it automatically kicks me off.  Once I bind the protocols to each WAN for my server, the session stays put once established.

  • HP HD 5210 Skype Issues

    My new webcam seems to freeze all the time. The only way to fix it is to click the camera icon on Skype every 3 minutes or so when it freezes.
    I'm currently using the default windows drivers because of worse issues after updating. While I had the most up to date drivers and the webcam would just turn black and the ArcSoft  or whatever program would constantly relaunch as if the driver crashed.
    What happened to being Skype certified? I can't seem to keep this thing to work without having to turn on and off the camera to stop it from freezing?

    Hi ThatOneDude, welcome to the HP Forums. What version of Windows do you have your Webcam installed on? What version of Skype are you using?

  • Skype issues with new Retina MBP

    Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
    The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
    All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
    thanks.

  • Skype - Issue in "click-to-call" through Skype fun...

    I would be most grateful to receive help with an issue I have encountered.
    I´m developing a web application where I give the user an option to call a phone number through Skype with a click on a button directly from the web application. This works fine for browsers on desktop, iPad and Android devices. But when the user clicks on the call button in iOS browsers (testet with latest Safari and Chrome) then Skype is opened, but the phone number is not dialled or transferred into Skype. I would be most thankful to receive help with this.  it will only open up Skype when the user clicks on the button. Do anyone have any idea to how I can solve this?

  • Toshiba TL968G + Talk-7291 Skype issues

    Hi,
    Recently I bought the Talk-7291 to use the Skype feature.
    The first time I connected the camera it seemed everything was working fine, since I decided to make my first call. Then the screen turned to black and the camera was turned off (Blue led light was switched off).
    The TV did not response, the only button I could use it was the power button.
    Since then, every time I started the Skype application the TV turned to black.
    I tried to reset the TV and the result is always the same.
    - I found a way to use it once, and it was to configure Skype without the camera and set Skype starts when the TV turns on.
    - Turn off the TV and connect the camera.
    - Turn on the TV. After one or two minutes the camera turns on (led is on) and the session is started.
    - I can receive calls but I cannot send. I was able to answer one and talk. Now I can answer but after 3s the Skype the TV crashes.
    Has someone else bought the Talk-7291 and tested how skype works?
    Firmware: I have the last firmware installed (7.0.28.16.1)
    Cheers,
    Josep

    Hi,
    I have the same issue with a RL938G with FW vers. 7.0.28.16.1 and a camera TALK-7291,
    Skype is not working even the TV set is blocked after the TV is turned to black.
    It seems that this is a generic issue. We wait for the manufacturer to fix this with a FW update
