Skype messaging problem

Okay, so I was offline when this message. A friend named Anastasia sent me a message. "Настенка, ты на работе еще?" It just means, "Nastenka, are you at work yet?" So I logged in two weeks later and the message popped up. Настенка was the only word I didn't know so I asked my friend what it meant and she replied, "its my name!!! Where did you see it?!". So I copied the message and showed here that she wrote the message. She told me she didn't have any friends named this and that there's only one person that calls her Nastenka, her boyfriend. I don't know her boyfriend, nor have his account information.
So how could her boyfriend send a message to me, from her account asking her if she was at work yet? Is this a glitch? It's pretty unsettling if Skype can't deliver messages properly.

There is probably a better forum to  put this in other than hardware.  In any case,  since I've used Skype for many years I haven't had any serious messaging problems (other than latency).  I have however learned a few things.  
1.  If Skype is configured to "Allow anyone to send IMs to me".  You can and will get spam from anyone and they don't have to be in your contacts.
2.  Sometimes name are a coincidence,  other times generated based off whatever a program/bot leeched off the internet.  So if there are a lot of references to "Jack and Jill" and your name is Jack you might get contacted by a random person on Skype named Jill trying to get personal info from you.
3.  If you or your friend has never logged onto the machine, some old messages will sync/pop-up randomly to Skype in an effort to "catch up".  This is more prevalent if you run Skype on multiple machines.  Some computers running Skype may have one half of a conversation and the other one may have the other half.
4.  As long as you are logged into Skype you will receive message (Online, Offline, Invisible, etc.).  If someone sent you a message earlier, the IM's will flood in either as soon as you logon or when Skype decides to finally "catch up".
5.  People can be nosey, insecure, or computer illiterate.  If either your friend or her boyfriend had access to her account from his phone or computer (at any time) they may choose to contact everyone on their contact list in order to find/contact their significant other.   If the boyfriend knows your skype name and number 1 is true, he could Skype you from his own account or an alternate account.
Take the above into consideration.  Based off your situation, it doesn't appear to me to be a glitch, but one never knows.

    It was working fine and I had no problems, and then one day I tried opening a window and it froze. When I tried quiting the program my whole window went black. The x to the close the window doesn't work. The only option I have in my tool bar is Firefox and nothing happens when I try to quit firefox. Every time I try to shut down my computer Firefox prevents it. I haven't updated Firefox yet, so it's an older program, but only by a month or two. What's going on and how do I fix it?

    This is the first time it's ever happened. I downloaded the new operating system for Firefox but I can't install it until the Firefox currently running on my laptop quits, which it won't.

  • Skype messages not showing up equally on phone and...

    I have Skype on my iPhone and Mac computer. Lately though, not all of the Skype messages I receive have not been showing up on my computer or phone--I know because usually I'll be able to read a message on one device if I'm chatting with someone on it, but then the message won't show up on the other device ever. This also makes me wonder if I'm missing any messages entirely when I'm not using either device. 
    Has anyone else had this problem of disconnect/missing messages?

    I am having the same problem, only now it's extended to my messages on my Mac saying "pending" for extended periods of time, even with a perfectly stable internet connection.

  • Continuing the "status message problems" issue...

    in response to ralph johns suggestion to delete the buddy list file from my library to solve the outdated status message problem...
    RJ- haha.. i'm not sure i'm going to try the "beat it with a stick" approach quite yet.. i think i found out whats causing the problem. when i would use iChat on campus using our school's wireles, i didnt have the problem of outdated status messages. but when i come home, i do.. and i believe the reason is because i'm using a Belkin G Wireless router. although i do hard line, i'm almost positive this is the problem. i did some research online and it isnt one of the approved routers for iChat.
    so is my only option to buy a new compatible router to solve the problem? or is there somewhere i can go that can tell me what ports to open for a belkin router?? we're getting close... i can feel it!!! haha thanks..

    Hi Anders,
    in order to quickly fix that problem, I would just adapt the provisioning function where the warning shows up and make sure that the function uError is called so that an error is created instead of a warning.
    Are you using the SAP Provisioning Framework or a custom provisioning framework. Which repository are you using?
    Best regards

  • HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • I get message, Problem scanning. Something went wrong. Please try again.

    My printer was working fine when scanning, but now I get a message: 
    Problem scanning.  Something went wrong. Please try again. I turned my printer off, rebooted my computer...updated the printer from hp website...but nothing.  I can see the document in preview, and I hear the scanner working.  HELP!!

    Hey there @leandermw , Welcome to the HP Forums
    I understand you're having scanning problem with your Deskjet 2540, on Windows 8.1 and would like to help you.
    I would first suggest that you run the Print and Scan Doctor, and choose "fix scanning" to see if the tool can correct the issue. Send me the results in your reply as well.
    If you have the printer connected to a network, either wireless or ethernet, try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer and try scanning.
    You can also power reset the printer itself:
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Try scanning from the HP scan software on your computer, and also make a copy from the front of the printer.
    Write me back with the results

  • Trying to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run."  Any ideas?

    I had iTunes 10.2.1.1 but needed to upgrade to 10.6 so my iPhone could synch...I'm getting this error message "Problem with this Windows (XP) Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run."  Any ideas?

    This has been fixed.  Answer is that I needed to go to "Apple Software Update" and repair it.  (From my Control Panel).

  • Skype message notification

    Hi There,
    Just want to discuss about skype message notification alert. I was getting this message notification when I get any messages and it will stay on task bar unless I read the message. But now I am getting the notification but it disappers from the task bar and due to that I am unable to view new messages so I have to open skype each time to check for new messages. I had installed few updates and current version showing is 7.4.0.102.
    May I know whats the issue? I cant see any relevant settings regarding the same on skype. Can anyone help on this ?
    Immediate response in highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Lumia 535 - Skype messaging remains days behind ac...

    I use Skype messaging on my PC and it works perfectly. I recently bought a Lumia 535 (a few days ago) to be able to use the text chatting on Skype whilst out and about.
    It all worked well until my phone did a Windows 8.1 update (took about 20 minutes to do).
    Since then Skype on my phone is a couple of days behind in its messages and thus making it totally unusable.
    I use the PC to Skype when at home and this still works perfectly. My phone however is still showing a last message from around 36 hours ago and will not update it no matter how many times I go into it to check.
    Please help - the only reason I bought a smartphone was for this reason and the reason I bought a Microsoft Lumia is because I thought Skype would work best on there (and because of the price offer at the time).
    Thanks for all your help - I need to get this sorted out ASAP.
    Robert.

  • Picture messaging problems for EnV 3

    In the past few days, I have been having picture messaging problems. When a Non-Verizon person sends me a picture, it says connecting (as it should) but just continues to say connecting. I never receive the picture. It just says failed if I let it continue to connect. When I receive a picture message from a Verizon person, it also says connecting and I allow it to go until it stops. It never shows a loading bar like it used to but the "connecting" screen will eventually disappear and I can view the picture. It works but, its very slow and it doesn't show the loading bar like it used to.
    I also have problems sending picture messages. Again, the connecting screen comes up when sending a picture but no loading bar. I usually let it go for 30 seconds and I'll end up cancelling it. BUT, a friend of mine did end up receiving the picture even though it never said message sent on my phone.
    Any help with these problems? I haven't done anything different than I used to and I have had the phone for almost a year and a half now. Everything has been fine until now.

    Yay!! It's so nice when it's a simple fix!
    You can do the *228 reset every month or so just for maintenance and to keep your phone updated.
