Skype problem with Norton

Dear All, Kindly be informed that I bought new Lap Top with "Norton" antivirus and I can't access my Skype account since that day although I can access it with the same username and password on my old PC. I gave it permission through "Norton" but it doesn't work, so please advice.

I had the same problem.  I told Norton to add another firewall rule and navigated to the Skype Updater file.  As soon as I told Norton to allow that file my Skype logged on fine.

  • Skype problems with Airport Extreme after update

    I use Skype to call regular phones and landlines. For over a year now it has worked well with my Airport Extreme, however, I noticed that around the same time I updated my Airport utility to 5.5.2 and Mac OS X update on 1/7/11 I am having problems with audio getting scrambled, the person on the other end dropping out, and my voice dropping out of their calls and the sound of me "being in a long tunnel," as they describe it. If I plug the ethernet directly into my computer there is no problem so I know it is the Airport base station.
    I have tried plugging and unplugging the base station and I had comcast reset my cable modem but nothing seems to be working. I have 12 mbps internet so I know it is not a bandwidth problem.
    Please help! Thank you!

    Indeed I have the same problem.  I ended up buying a new router because I thought mine was malfunctioning.  After buying the latest generation Airport Extreme, turns out it's having the same problem.  I agree that it was not a problem until 5.5.2.  Also, I use YouSendIt constantly and it also chokes the Airport Extreme.  It appears to happen in scenarios of high bandwidth usage.
    5.5.3 maybe coming soon?

  • Skype: problems with birthday's alarms

    In skype every time it informs me about a birthday of one of my contacts, the application turns off immediately. and i have to reopen it every time, but i can't use the chat with these contacts never again, otherwise it turns off again. I ask help to Skype assistance, but they couldn't help me. any idea?

    Same problem.
    Skype loads normally apparently.
    I can see my contacts, everything looks good.
    I then select a contact and click to start a call.
    The animation starts as if its calling, but its not ringing.
    The other party receives no call either
    I press to end the call, no effect
    Restart the computer, no effect
    I go to end the task, there are 2 instances of skype running
    The first one ends the GUI, but my web camera is still active
    The second task can not be killed!
    If I only kill the one task, loading skype again tells me that I am already logged in with this computer.
    The "fix" mentioned about renaming the Skype folders in the appdata and temp directories is only temporary, and requires a reboot anyway.
    Microsoft really needs to stop ignoring all these bugs and finally fix them. They keep spitting out new versions of this without first fixing the bugs of the previous versions.
    I have similar issues with my Android phone, where I can not make or receive calls, and only receive texts, I can not send. Its getting tiresome.
    I think I'm just gonna go with Jitsi to be honest, much more stable than Skype. Never had any problems with it, and you can have multiple video calls without paying. Just got to convice everyone else to do the same.

  • Reinstallation for IOS skype. problems with groups and contacts

    I was having a problem with Skype on my Iphone; new messages wouldn't load, and if they did it was around 10 minutes after they sent them. So I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. As soon as I logged into my account I realized most of my contacts didn't have a profile picture, nor did it have our conversations. It also got rid of all my skype groups; I still got notifications for those groups, but if I clicked on them it would bring me to a page saying that it's an empty group. Also if I get on skype on my laptop everything is fine, I still have my groups, my contacts all have pictures and our conversations are still there. I tried to reinstall it on my phone again, but this time all my groups were still gone, but different contacts wern't complete. Because I still had the contacts I tried to send a message on of my contacts that didn't have a profile picture and although it said it sent, I never got a reply. So I got on my laptop and asked if he got it, and he said he didn't.  Is anyone else haing this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you

    Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue.  This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles.  We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

  • Problems with Norton

    I have Norton confidential, antivirus and firewall on my Mac running 10.6.8.
    when I open Firefox, Norton tells me I cannot be protected while surfing the web; that I need 1.5 version.
    However, the Firefox version installed on my computert says I have 1.9 yahoo users edition! I want to continue to use Firefox if at all possible (hate SAFARI)
    Thank you

    Is this with Norton Confidential?
    It appears this is an old product that Norton killed off, which explains the out dated messages about Firefox 1.5. It has been replaced by Norton Identity Safe. https://identitysafe.norton.com/

  • Skype Problem with recording device

    After the windows 10 update it keeps saying "Problem with recording device" my camera works but, my microphone doesn't it worked fine before. The thing I use is a really old camera I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

    Due to the age of the camera and lack of support from Creative your options are limited.  I would suggest you connect the device directly to a free USB port on your machine.  If you share it with several devices on a hub or extension the device can easily work intermittently.  That type of issue can cause the audio to fail to be initialized, creating the problem.  This can also occur if the audio half or both halves of the camera/cabling is intermittently failing as well.  You have the option of switching to the generic Microsoft Video and Audio drivers to see if that helps as well.    Below is a graphic on you how to update the drivers to the generic "USB Video Device".  You can do the exact same thing for the audio half of the camera by updating it to "USB Audio Device" (which is what you might want to try first in this scenario).

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First off, 10.5.2 is unlikely to be the main culprit to the unexpected quitting. Usually that's the result of corrupt data files, a hard drive that is too full, or a bad directory, or applications which haven't been tested with 10.5.2 that are driver specific. If you want to troubleshoot 10.5.2 more on that account we can help you, if you follow these steps*:

  • Why, after disabling all add-ons to correct a problem with Norton, am I unable to re-install Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396, even though all 7 applications in the "Containing Folder" are enabled?

    mynortonaccount.com web page began coming up whenever I would go on line. Norton email support gave me steps to follow using my Firefox browser, in the safe mode, to disable all add-ons and reset user preferences to Firefox defaults.
    Since then, although trying about 15 times, I have been unable to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 10.0.0.396 so that it functions.
    From the "Re-initializing the plugins database" article, and progressing to the "Open Containing Folder," but unable to select File and Exit menu, I did locate "Adobe Acrobat" version 10.0.0.396
    which showed all seven applications "enabled." This problem is with Firefox only. Internet Explorer functions normally.

    If you want adobe acrobat pdf files to open in firefox you need an acrobat plugin, have you checked that is installed and enabled.

  • Problems with Norton antivirus after Tiger install

    I installed Tiger yesterday and it all went well. After the install however, on every restart or when turning on the computer I get this error message:
    Norton AntiVirus Error. Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect could not continue. Please reinstall Norton AntiVirus and restart.
    Of course, I did the reinstall for Norton but continue to get the error message. Any assistance is appreciated.

    There's no question that the exploit is serious, but it is a very narrow exploit, only involves specially-crafted RAR files, and there's both a completely adequate workaround and a virus definition to flag potentially compromised RAR files.
    Given that, there's no reason to uninstall NAV: simply implement the workaround, download the latest virus defs, and stay away from RAR files for a bit. I expect we'll see a patch shortly.
    The hysteria that this problem has generated from some, as well as some of the responses — uninstall NAV, throw out NAV, etc. — is wholly unfounded given the workaround and available virus def.
    There have been Mac OS X exploits announced for which an Apple-provide fix took a couple of days to publish. Given the response to this Symantec issue, I'm surprised some didn't advocate uninstalling Mac OS X at those times.
    As you point out, there are those who exchange documents with Windows systems, employ macro-enabled documents, etc. Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround opens them up to a wider range of threats. Doing so simply makes no sense — i.e. is "nonsense" in the dictionary definition sense of that word — given that the available workaround and virus definition address the RAR exploit until a patch is published. That's not disparaging: that's fact.
    Why waste the time or expose one's self to other potential threats when the workaround and virus def are available and the patch is forthcoming? Uninstalling NAV vs. using the available workaround and virus definition is "throwing out the baby with the bath water."
    The Symantec-bashing that has transpired in a variety of threads since this problem arose is also unwarranted. NAV is a good product. I've used it for years and recommend it. I have no financial relationship with Symantec: I simply like the product, use it, and I recommend what I use.
    ClamXav and the underlying ClamAV engine are also good products and I recommend ClamXav for those who can't afford NAV or prefer an open source product. But the ClamAV engine has also had similar exploits found in its code, so it also has an imperfect track record.
    As software complexity increases, finding all of the potential exploits in the design or testing phase is increasingly difficult. All software installations are a matter of trust as to if the developers did the best job they could to ensure a product free of defects, including security exposures.
    Good luck!

    So here is how I got it fixed for my Mac OS X 10.9.5 and skype 6.19. I think Windows folks can follow a similar approach. 
    option 1 - Contact a live support agent via this link -
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10656/what-is-live-chat-support and have him/her remote login to your machine and fix it. 
    option 2 - Do-it-yourself 
    1) Try installing skype ver 6.15 (you need to find the executable over the internet or from skype-support) .. the usual steps to uninstall your current version and re-install the new version. 
    After installing ver 6.15, make sure in Skype -> Preferences, you don't check the "Always keep skype up to date" option.. or else it will go and install the latest version 6.19.  
    2) If it still doesn't work, 
    (i) Go to Finder window -> select 'Go' tab on top -> select 'Go to Folder' -> type '~/Library/Application Support/Skype/' 
    there you will find a file called "shared.xml". DELETE IT.
    (ii) Go to Finder window -> select 'Go' tab on top -> select 'Go to Folder' -> type '/private/var/db'. There may be a file called "config.xml" or something similar. DELETE IT.   
    3) Even then it doesnt work, go back to Option 1 (contacting skype-support)

    Never use Norton on your Mac.
    There are hundreds and hundreds of reports of corruption and freezes caused by Norton. You need to get rid of it.
    If you feel a need for virus software, use one developed for Max OSX.
