Skype window won't show/becomes invisible after lo...

When I launch Skype, the login screen shows and it automatically signs me into Skype.  However, once the login screen is gone, there is no Skype window.  The application is still running, but all I can see is my desktop.  Skype is basically invisible--I cannot call or even view my contacts.  How can I solve this problem?
I am currently running Yosemite 10.10.2.

  • Skype window doesn't show up after logging in

     After I log in to Skype I see the icon show up in my task bar but the window doesn't show up and clicking on the icon doesn't do anything.
    And the times when the window DOES show up after signing in, it's not responding. 
    Is there a way to fix this? I have the latest version of Skype and am using Windows 8.1

  • Reminders window won't show up after clicking in notifications center

    After clicking a notificytion in notifications center on Mavericks the APP Reminders opens but the application window is not showing up. Allways worked like a charme but not any longer for me.
    I tried to:
    1) uncheck the iClound sync for Reminders while Reminders.app ist closed which deletes all local data!
    2) logout my user
    3) login again
    4) open Reminders
    5) check the iCloud sync for Reminders again
    After this procedure, Reminder is working again for a day, then again the Reminders window is not showing up, after clicking a notification or open the Reminders.app manualy.
    Why is this, any hints?
    Cheers

    In addition: after I went thru the steps above the applications runs without problems until I close the app again. When now reopening the app will show no windows.

  • Itunes browser window won't show on mac

    Since yesterday the jukebox browser window in itunes for mac won't open or show. I had version 8.01 installed. The mini browser window does show. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes but it still won't show. I've also tried altering preferences. this is in the administrator account, and I can still get itunes to work OK in other accounts. It seems that itunes is working otherwise, but as a result I can't access the itunes store or choose music. I'm concerned that I can't synch my ipod and iphone properly as I can't see what might be happening.

    I'm an Apple Authorized Service Provider and just had a customer with the same issue (which is how I found this post). After much troubleshooting including deleting preferences and creating test user accounts, the problem was as simple as can be. The iTunes window was open the whole time, but was dragged all the way to the lower right hand corner of the display and out of sight. Select Window->Minimize and you should see the Browser window move from whereever it's hiding into the dock. Then click on the window in the dock and you'll see it move back to it's hiding spot. Just drag it to the center of the screen and you're done!

  • Skype balance no longer showing on screen after cu...

    Help! I just did an update of Skype. The skype page no longer shows skype balance. How do I get it back? I do not want to go to My account before and after each use of skype for a phone call. This is a major issue for me! HELP PLEASE!!

    The credit balance was removed with the new Skype user interface introduced in November 2014 to reduce complexity on screen. We are currently looking into the feedback provided on various channel as to if and how to bring this functionality back.
    It looks like the examples you provided in this discussion are actually not asking to bring the Skype credit balance back, but instead to introduce a "Rates for this call" display when you are placing calls. Is this correct?
    Meanwhile you can see your Skype credit balance when opening the "Call phones" screen.

  • IPhone 5 won't show new number after porting

    Verizon finished porting in a phone number into my already activated iPhone 5.  Now the phone won't show the new number. It still shows my old number and I can't make or receive any calls.   I have cycled on and off. I have also wiped the phone twice and gone through the activation process.  I have reset network settings as well.   Verizon shows all is well on their side.  I even tried switching iMessage off and on as instructed on discussion boards but the phone stays on activating......
    So far it makes a great looking paper weight.  Any suggestions?

    ok, I finally got a hold of a technical support rep that knew what she was doing. She performed an "authentication update" on her system and had me dial #2539.  Problem Solved.

  • 2nd gen ipod won't show in itunes after 7.3.1.3 update - win xp

    hi.
    home built xp pro Sp 2 machine - NO USB 2.0 ports. 1 gig ram
    iPod Nano 4 gig, been working fine since september.
    iTunes decides to update to 7.3.1.3 last night overnight.
    It updates but I forgot to reset in the morning.
    plugged in the ipod to charge/sync. itunes didn't come up.
    realized I had to reboot after the update. did that.
    itunes came up and updated my saved music library on the pc. (89 gig, btw) This took several hours.
    plugged ipod back in. iTunes didn't see it. This was on a hub. tried it on a port on the motherboard. iTunes saw it & started to sync. Great! Then after about 3 minutes of syncing I got an error saying that "this device cannot be synced, the folder could not be found."
    WHAT FOLDER IS IT TALKING ABOUT?!?!
    Since then, I cannot get iTunes to see my iPod, The iPod registers that the device is connected and charges but windows says the device has failed to install & device manager tells me "Unknown device" (yes I did have it configured for disk use.) and iTunes will not bring up the device to sync.
    I've tried resetting & reconnecting.
    I'm leery of re-installing because I do not want to have to re-load & re-register 89 gig of music in my iTunes library.
    Since when has a USB 2.0 port become required for functioning?

    Well you tried 'everything', that I thought of, I would think that Antivirus is the main culprit or that install a Windows Plugin that emulates Mac OS X.

  • VPN Client and Windows 7 - Window won't show

    Bizarre issue I've now experienced on two separate PC's with VPN Client 5.00.07.0410 on 32-bit Windows 7:
    Out of the blue, when the user double-clicks the Cisco VPN Client icon, the lock shows up in the system tray, and the application shows in the taskbar. You may get a glimpse of the window when you double-click the taskbar icon, or single click it and choose the application from the list. However, you are not able to actually get the window to be visible. This of course makes it impossible for the user to click the "connect" button.
    I've discovered that when the icon is in the taskbar, and you hit "Enter" on the keyboard, it will connect. However I wouldn't expect a user to be able to figure this out, and so it was quite frustrating for them when this happened.
    I've noticed there is a new version of the software for 64-bit users, but not for 32.
    Anybody else experience this? Find a solution?
    I tried uninstalling/re-installing and it made no difference.
    -Chris

    Try this so you don't have to do it each time... it worked for XP Pro 32-bit (Dell E6410). Haven't yet encountered on W7 Pro:
    Bring up Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt_Delete). Open the Applications tab. Highlight VPN Client, right-click and select Maximize. (Sometimes if the system dies (power-loss) when connected to VPN the registry remembers the minimized setting and will not un-minimize it except with this process (and maybe one yet to be determined).)
    I'm currently working (20140617) on a similar issue for W7 Pro for the User Authentication window where the RSA passcode needs to be entered. Alt-Tab works but I'm trying to make it permanent. (One problem is the user has a difficult time following instructions.)

  • Adobe Flash Player 11.4 quits working, won't show videos even after reinstalling.

    Had Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 and it stopped showing videos, etc. in Firefox a few days ago. Now I've installed v 11.4 r402 and it still gives error message "Adobe Flash Player ... has stopped working." I uninstalled, downloaded again and reinstalled -- with the same result. No videos. Firefox Plugin check page shows it installed correctly. Any solutions?

    Warning: Installing Adobe Flash 10.3
    The instructions in the 11.3 crash article on installing the 10.3 don't tell you that the Active X Flash version must also be installed because the Adobe Uninstaller uninstalls ALL installed Flash and certain programs require that to work properly. I reported this two months ago and although I was thanked for it it was ignored by Staff and only corrected in the viewing videos problem article, which links to the crash article. If I have to do the job of Staff I'm happy to oblige, since there is no excuse for this. I actually corrected this same error by a Mozilla QA engineer who left out this same step in her testing on a bug report, and I got the expected result, she didn't.
    jscher2000's recommendations are good, I'm only supplementing the crash article instructions for anyone who needs that.

  • ITunes window won't show up?

    I've tried repeatedly reinstalling, updating, etc...
    It started on iTunes 11.0.2
    Is still a problem on 11.0.3
    I've scanned for viruses, I've checked everything
    The window opens for a split second when I start iTunes and then disappears
    Everything is greyed out in the top bar menus
    I can open the equalizer and get pop-up messages from iTunes but no window.
    I've checked the expose and everything the window isn't hiding, it just won't open. It's simply not there.

  • Windows won't show up on start up

    Hi,
    I finally managed to get boot camp working and save an Windows .ios file to my samsung 3.0 Hardrive however when I press alt on the start up only the macintosh HD and the recovery disk shows up. I dont think it's a problem with the ios file itself because when i plugged it into a friends pc it comes up and i can click on it to install windows.
    do you have any ideas?

    Hi @seriousdream ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    Thanks.

  • Time Machine won't show old backups after reformat

    Hi there -
    So I have a time machine backup that I made about 1 year ago. I have let it do its thing, backing up files automatically every hour. I decided to reformat my computer to start fresh before downloading Lion, so I unhooked my external drive and went to work. The install went fine, but now my old time machine backups are gone!
    For example, I will go into my Pictures folder, then enter time machine, I can only go back to July 18th, 2011. Previous to me reformatting my computer, I had no problem going as far back as I wanted. Now all of a sudden, I can't do that any more!
    I have NO idea what's going on, and NO idea how to fix this. I've exhausted myself reading through the communities trying to get support, but to no avail.
    Hopefully someone can help!

    Many, many weeks ago there were articles (MacWorld and others) that described how to check and see if you had any PowerPC apps.  It was stated that these apps would not work with Lion because Rosetta, which they require, will no longer be supported.  Here is how you check.  Hold down Option and click the Apple in the upper left.   While holding Option click System Profiler.  Under Software, click Applications and wait for the list to load.  Toward the right side of the window click the column header called "Kind" to sort the column.  Scroll the column to see if you have any Power PC apps.  If  you do, they won't work in Lion.
    Regarding  your Office 2004...... I do know that the new version of Office will work.
    Hope this is helpful.
