Skype won't show old messages

Recently I got a new computer. At first there were no problems, but today I noticed that Skype wouldn't let me access messages older than a week for most of my contacts. For the ones where option to go back further than seven days is available, it says the earliest message is in June 2003 (I didn't even have skype back then) and it actually only goes back to January 11th of this year. Everyone else it won't let me go farther than a week. I am also certain that this is a new development - I know that when I first used Skype on this computer it let me view my full conversation history. And there's important information buried in those logs so I'd kind of like to be able to **bleep**ing access them.
Running Windows 8 and Skype 6.21.0.104 (I was running the latest version but downgraded in an attempt to fix this problem and also because I really dislike the newest skype anyway)

Have you checked your computer's clock time? Has it been wrong in the past?

  • Skype won't show incoming messages on my phone

    Hiii

    Recently I have encountered an issue that I can't see any messages I receive on my phone, but I can still see the messages I send whether it be via my phone or either my pc or laptop: I've tried anything from resetting my settings, clearing my data, erasing my history, reinstalling skype multiple times, cold booting my phone, manually reinstalling skype and deleting all cached data, changing the time on my phone, downgrading to an older version, which you apparently can't do anymore for whatever reason. I'm out of ideas, I don't ever get any notifications, sometimes I see some older messages pop up if I keep the skype on my phone open for a while (after 10 minutes of actually receiving the messages on my pc and laptop). My phone's connection is perfectly fine, I tried using both wifi as well as phone internet, but that made absolutely no difference. There is absolutely no issue on my pc or laptop, the messages appear instantly and have no delay to them, while on my phone, they appear insanely delayed and only when I have the app open, and sometimes they don't appear at all.Help? My phone is Motorolla Moto G with android version 5.0.2 Edit: Apparently after reuploading the image I hadn't noticed that the board had changed from the one I selected (Android), to this one.

  • New mail showing old messages

    This afternoon my mail started acting completely crazy.
    New Messages are showing old emails in the body.  I get the new messages and its reading old messages making the actual message lost.

    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Mac mail won't load old messages!

    Hi!
    I've been trying to set up my mail, but the account will only load up to 106 messages, though the 'incoming messages' bar says something around '506 of 628' messages incoming. Is there anyway to get them back? I've tried the rebuild option but it does absolutely nothing. I managed to get 400 to load, by fiddling with servers, and then clicked rebuild to get the rest and it took it back to 106! Please help, I'm not very good with tech language but I desperately need the old messages back!
    Also the mail I'm trying to recover is not a gmail/yahoo or anything, it is linked to my personal website which is hosted on TSO. I've tried using IMAP, POP, and turning off ssl but to no avail!
    Thanks,
    Claire

    I'm experiencing similar problems, inbox empties as soon as I open a message (I still can send/receives messages. Spent 1 hour with AT&T and Apple customer service; all the help they gave was "delete the account", which did not do anything...it reminded me (not in a good way) of the days of frequent MS Windows crashes and all the help MS would provide was "just restart your computer.." very frustrating so far.
    Anybody, please help! Thanks!! My yahoo mail works fine on Wifi or 3G, Safari does too, I tried my exchange email on wifi and 3G and get the same problem..

  • IMAP showing old messages

    Hi there,
    I just got my Z10 and i've fallen in love from the first sight, but i've encountered a major deal breaker.
    I have my work email account which is an old account, for example my inbox has 11000+ emails.. When i add it to the BB as IMAP, it starts to download messages, but they are all with the current date and hour, and are actually really old messages. It's like the server has wrong time/date set and the BB starts to get confused. All i get to see in the Hub are old messages from years ago and they are all dated the current date/hour.
    However 1: 
    I have the same email added as IMAP on iOS and it works perfectly. Sometimes this issue occurs there as well, but after restarting the Mail client, it's all back to normal. I decided to wait and see if the Z10 will get better, but it doesn't.
    However 2:
    When i access my email from web, it has time and date all correct, i.e. received at HH:MM on DD.MM.YY
    However 3:
    Probably it's important to mention, that i have also a personal email added, again on a private hosting, which works well and display emails with the correct dates.
    I've tried deleting/adding, changing the Sync Time Frame to different settings. Turning SSL on/off (it's off on the iOS), but nothing changed. My work email is not on Gmail, Yahoo.. It's a hosting and it's been there since ten or more years now.. 
    So, i'm not sure what to do.. any suggestions?I don't really want to return this beauty back to the store because i can't work with it.
    Is there an alternative email client i can try to install and see if it's going to behave the same way? If yes, is it integrated with the Hub?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why it's doing that, I use ann IMAP server and it does not perform in that manner.
    You can try one of several other email clients, such as K9 email, in App World.

  • ITunes Store Won't Load, Won't Show Error Message

    Alright--I've worked my way out of messy computer problems before, but this one's got me pretty well stumped. I mean, even for a PC using Apple products this is a bit ridiculous.
    When I open up iTunes, all of the media works just fine, but when I try to navigate to the Store, the white "iTunes Store" page comes up (which I know it does while loading), and the loading bar locks up about halfway through "Accessing iTunes Store" without showing any error messages of any kind. Obviously, refreshing the page does nothing, and neither does opening it up in a separate window. iTunes allows me to sign in, and to view and edit my account/billing information, but even from there I can't worm my way into the Store (via the black menu bar atop the page). Before you say anything, YES my internet is working--hence the online discussion post, so I don't even want to hear it. And I know it isn't the actual store because I can access it on another computer.
    I've had this problem for at least a week...possibly since I updated iTunes, but I can't say for sure, so I'm not about to assume there was something faulty in the update.
    I found out that the Apple Mobile Device essentially murders my processor (the CPU was maxing out at 100% whenever the program ran, and it was slowing the entire computer down significantly), so I shut that down to see if iTunes was just freezing up under CPU stress like the rest of my computer. While other programs went back to functioning at normal speed, the Store still wouldn't load.
    My OS is Windows 7 64-bit.
    I have the latest version of iTunes 64-bit.
    As far as I can tell I don't have any firewalls or bizarre security problems that are blocking access to the site.
    I've tried removing iTunes from my computer and downloading the most recent--and supposedly the most compatible--version.
    Admittedly, iTunes never really worked properly on my laptop--syncing, for instance, will take an ungodly amount of time and then crash, resulting in a wiped iPod that needs to take an hour to reload everything--but this is new.
    I don't suppose there could be any consistent compatibility problems with running iTunes in a 64-bit OS?
    I've read on some of these discussion threads that even in iTunes 64-bit a goodly amount of the programs are still 32-bit, including iTunes itself, and when I run the 64-bit version of iTunes, TM shows itunes.exe 32 gearing the program.
    Sometimes problems that are this particular can result from removing important files or programs from the computer, not realizing what part they had in other programs. The only iTunes-related program I've ever deleted was Bonjour, and from the sounds of it, Bonjour doesn't (or at least shouldn't) affect the funcionality of iTunes at all, so I've ruled that out, too.
    So I've exhausted my personal knowledge of what could possibly be the problem.
    Either it's something simple and I'm just overcomplicating it (which happens a lot to me, actually), or it's one of those quirky, untraceable issues that exist for the sole purpose of inconveniencing people, in which case, C'est la Vie.
    I'm not so much concerned with the fact that I can't access the Store as I am with the fact that I simply cannot figure this one out.
    It vexes me.
    Any input is welcome--I'm way open to suggestions. I figured I'd try discussions before calling Support, just in case it is something trivial.
    I wanted to tag this discussion, but the Powers That Be wouldn't have it.
    ~D.

    Ditto. I am having the exact same problem. There is no doubt in my mind it was the latest update that has caused the problem. I too have followed all the suggested fixes and nothing. A second laptop which uses an older version of iTunes has no problem accessing the store.  I guess I can still make my purchases there and transfer them to my computer.  I was also having CPU issues as a result of the update and went to my Start programs and disabled iTunes Helper  (the only iTunes that appeared there). Coincidence or not, my CPU issues are solved for now. Can you tell me how you shut down the Apple Mobile Device in case I need to do that too.  Also, I was going to Restore my computer to an earlier date to revert back to the older iTunes version, but I seem to be past that point. Does anyone know if you restore to the earliest point possible (about a week in my case, will even older Restore points come up then?  I really would like to undo this stupid update,  Yes, Apple needs to do something about this because no one will be able to purchase stuff anymore once they update to this latest version.   I submitted this issue to Tech Support and waiting for a response.

  • Q5 won't show text messages

    When I open text messages sometimes it will freeze and I am unable to see the conversation. The only fix is reopening the program several times and waiting till it returns to normal (takes about 5 minutes). It happens regularly

    Samething for me.  Bought a Q5 10 days ago, had all my contacts and messages transfer from my old Blackberberry Curve and my messaging is a nightmare.  it freezes all the time.  Chnaged the Q5 yesterday and did not help at all.  Still having a problem with my text messaging which freezes all the time (sometime for more than 2 hours).  Seems to always happen when i am receiving a text or call while texting!

  • Pictures won't show on Messages

    Hello, so this just started happening today. I haven't done any changes on my iphones, just today I woke up with this issue.
    When I go to my messages, I can't see any of the pictures people have send me before today. I just get a JPEG square and that's it.
    I have an iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.2
    I did a hard reset, and nothing. I read in here to do a network setting reset, and that didn't help.
    Any suggestion on what might have happen? All the new pictures I received today are showing, but before today I can't see
    Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. None of the pictures are loading...

    Hi,
    The spyglass would reveal the item  as a file in the Downloads folder which can then be opened with Preview.
    Alternatively you can use the Window Menu > File Transfers as this should list them.
    Again Preview should open them.
    I have the same issue and have not worked out what is different in any of the settings.

  • My Skype won't load new messages

    Whenever I open Skype, my group conversations take a very long time to load new messages or they do not load new messages at all. This is particularly annoying when I am trying to communicate with people at work or family members. I am using the latest Skype update and would really like a solution to my problem. 

    It is ridiculous. Takes 10 to 15 tries to get it to load. The chat msgs is a big issue.

  • Skype won't load new messages

    So my skype kinda broke. I was opening skype and it is on like usual but one time I opened it, and check my notifications and stuff so I go to the chat which has the new messages and I click that and scroll down and read it all but when I go to the other chat the notifications number next to the chat didn't go away and my friend sent me a message about 2 weeks ago and I still haven't got it. Please help

    It is ridiculous. Takes 10 to 15 tries to get it to load. The chat msgs is a big issue.

  • 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.

  • OVI suite won't show Archived Messages synced from...

    I recently transferred my old text messages from my old Sony Ericsson K800i to my new C3-00 using my sim card. The texts appeared on the new phone fine and can be read no problem on the phone's archive. However, whenever i sync them to Ovi Suite, the content of the texts fail to appear. The exact number of messages come up, but what was on each one doesn't.

  • Mail won't show new message windows

    This is weird.
    I needed to email a photo to a friend. I drug the photo from iPhoto to the Mail icon in the dock and nothing happened (a new message window didn't pop up with the photo attached) I tried this 3 times and still got nothing. I swiped to another desktop (in Lion) and i could see the new message windows, all three of them, with the picture. When I landed on a space they disappeaered again. When I swipe to a new space they appear and then disappear when I land on that space.
    I've shut mail down but haven't done a full restart. Any other ideas why this didn't work and then now how do I fix my problem?
    Thanks…
    Here's a picture of what I'm talking about…I don't know why it's upside down?!

    I've never seen anything like this reported before. Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    If the problem persists, proceed as follows:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. Try to reproduce the problem, and look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that could have been written there as a result. Do you see anything that could provide a clue as to what's going on?
    Now, try this:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts, and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up Mail anew there. Does the problem happen there as well?

    Hey guys,
    My iphone 5s sometimes won't show text messages in my lock screen, any ideas?
    And I have checked all of my notifications.
    Cheers

    Only if Apple knows about possible software issues, they would look into those. You can report those by using this link:
    Apple - iPhone - Feedback
    But I did not see this issue mentioned for a longer time in these forums.
    Try to set up your phone as new device and see if this helps:
