Skype not connecting calls/give notifications

Hi I live in Canada, and my friend lives in United States.
For the last few months, whenever he sends me a message I do not get a notification, at first I thought it was because my status was set on Busy for a day, but that wasn't the case at all. I also have Windows 7 on my laptop, his is the same, and we both have the latest version installed.
My status is set at Away, and if anyone else messages me, I get a notification, I don't receive from this specific person. The same thing happened to my ex boyfriend as well as my best friend, I don't get a message notification at all. And I didn't do anything to the settings that may have caused this, it just happened one day to each of them. I noticed that these 3 people were the ones I talk to the most, and I suppose someone else is about to be on the 'No Notifications list'
Is there any way to fix this?
Also I'm trying to call my friend on Skype today on my laptop, the same one that doesn't give notifications, and the call won't connect on my side nor his side. Yet the call goes through my phone only and then in the chat Skype claims that we have missed calls from each other. I restarted my laptop, and I reinstalled Skype, as well as reset my network and nothing is working.
This is getting ridiculous. I really need help please.

I have the exact same problem.
Also with iMac, and iPhone latest Skype software versions on both.
Been like this for some months now. But not on all calls. Sometimes works perfectly ok - sometimes not! Sometimes - always fails with particular contacts but not others.
Problem is with outgoing call, not ringing, not connecting, just failing for no reason.
I expect a lot of people have experienced this, and just try again later on.
But, there doesn't seem to be any fixes anytime soon on this community.
The worry is:- does anyone at Skype tech support ever look at these mails at all!

Disabling 'Not connected to Internet' notification

Hi,
I have a little problem here. Every time I unlock my Z2 and not connected to the internet, there will be this ‘Not connected to Internet’ notification appearing in the middle of my screen. And when I enable mobile data, this ‘Mobile data enabled’ notification appears. This notification appears on top of anything and it is blocking my view especially when I want to use the keyboard to type. Part of the keyboard is blocked by this notification. Even though the notification only last for about a second, it is still irritating. This notification only starts appearing 3 days ago, previously there isnt' this notification.
I would like to know how to disable this notification.
Solved!

The problem is with your Internet Explorer and JavaScript.
Please, answer first these questions:
What version of Windows are you on? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Skype not connecting outgoing calls.

This started last week, for some reason my Skype won't connect to the majority of my contacts (Skype to Skype calls). It will say "connecting", not ring, and then show "Call ended - error."
Does anyone have a solution for this? It's happening on both my MacBook Air and my iPhone. These people are online and can Skype me so this is really confusing and frustrating. I rely on Skype because I live on the other side of the world from my family. It is literally our only communication. I've been using it religiously since 2006 and it's only started doing things like this the last few months.
And yes, I do have the latest version of Skype installed.

Skype not connecting Moto G and Nexus 4 in ANDROI...

I have Moto G 2nd Gen and Nexus 4 device with latest Android 5.0.2. I donwloaded Skype on both devices yesterday and installed them. Then I opened two new skype accounts and tried making a call from one device to other. My wife was on the other device. Neither a normal call or a video call was going. Skype wasnt connecting at all. The phone from where I was making call was ringing but not the phone receiving call. Can somebody please help.

Unfortunately the truth is prepaid support is not very well trained and was
not much help
My issue was solved ultimately not by prepaid support but upper level
support in NJ (or NY, not sure).
The problem was that my line was provisioned as having a 1X device (which I
never had). So even though we tried switching the device to an iPhone and
reprogramming it didn't matter. Any incoming MMS were simply discarded by
the system and all I would get were the silent SMS messages that ping my
phone to check the MMS server, but nothing was held to be retrieved.
If you are on VZW (pre or post paid) and having this problem, ask support
to check the "Mobile Type" and ensure its not set to 1X.

Skype Not Connecting Properly

Starting today Skype refuses to connect. (it works fine on Windows, and the password wasn't changed). It just shows the connecting icon, and nothing happens.
Connects properly after around 5 minutes.

I guess I am kind of glad someone else is having this problem more recently. I think it is tied to a recent update that Skype did. My in bound number stopped working right 2 weeks ago. They managed to fix some of it, so I do get calls now from Verizon and land lines - most land lines. I cannot get a call from a T-Mobile phone to save my soul.
It rings, and when I go to pick it up - it just disconnects in one second.
The party calling doesn't even hear it ring.
Many of them just give up and hang up.
It does also NOT forward nor offer voice mail
And it is not my settings - almost every other caller works just fine.
And I have the problem on multiple computers, multiple gadgets, android, ios, etc.
Skype support - help us out here.
Remember, we're all in this together, and I'm pulling for you.

Skype not connecting

For some reason Skype doesn't connect on the Mac, but everyone around me that has a Microsoft PC has no trouble.
I used to get access but it just stopped working - I've got an airport extreme wireless.
Wasn't really a problem because a neighbour let me tap into his wireless (Linksys) whic worked fine, but he's moved so have lost that connection - there's only one ISP provider here as well.
I know this is garbled, if if anyone can make sense of it and give me some pointers I'd appreciate it.

David Delaney-
Good question.
Under ->Sharing ->Firewall something on your computer will probably need to be enabled if the firewall is on.
What you could do for experimental purposes is stop the firewall and see if Skype works. If it does, then work the problem backwards from there.
I do not use Skype so my hope is that someone with experience will jump in and complete the picture for you.

Skype not connecting with latest versions 7.7

I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 and Skype 7.7.
It wasn't connecting when I was using a previous version of Skype. I trashed it and reinstalled the latest new, but it's still not working.
My PC and my phone is working fine with Skype so it's not my network.
Neither one of my Skype accounts (work and personal) are connecting.
My App store doesnt have any pending updates
I have no idea what else I can do.

Maybe you did look at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support folder instead of your Home~/Library/Application Support folder ?
- In Finder, press the Option (alt) key and open the Go menu in the menu bar.
- Keeping Option pressed, select "Library" from the menu.
- Open the "Application Support" folder,
- The "Skype" folder shoud be found inside.

Skype Not Allowing Calls

So Skype usually works for me no problem. But now I am having this issue: When my friend calls me I get a less then one second notification shes calling me and I can't answer. Now when I call her, it does the same thing. This has happened a few times before. but I would just have to call her and it would be fine. We both want this problem fixed and I hope you guys can help out here. We both are running skype for desktop, newest update, and on windows 8.1. Please help because its really annoying having to spam call to get it to work. Thank you so much.

there could be a possibility now that AT&T have publicly said they will allow voip over 3G. we have submitted our app to apple for approval, the app called the V Phone will enable users to make VoIP calls and send SMS messages over IP. here's a preview;

Skype not connecting to internet

When I go on Skype, it doesn't let me connect through Microsoft or Facebook. I suspect this is because of the fact that the Internet Browser on my computer doesn't work that well, and it doesn't show Facebook or Outlook. (I mainly use Chrome.)
Is there a way to change the browser or fix this issue?

Skype depends on Internet Explorer, and if this broeser is broken, the same will be the case with Skype.
What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?

Skype 7.7 Not connecting to internet

When I first bought my new computer, I downloaded Skype and it worked perfectly. When I updated Skype, my calls started getting worse connection and then flat out Skype not connecting to the internet anymore. I check to see if my internet was down, but I could load up games and websites just fine. I've tried all the troubleshootings I've seen and nothing has worked, I need some help. Thank you.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
