Status shows Online even while signed out

Hi,
I'm using the latest version of Skype and having a problem where my status says Online while I'm signed out from my computer and any other device. I changed my password, but that didn't help. Is there any reason why this can happen?
Thanks!
Solved!

Zpool status shows ONLINE even if storage connectivity is lost

Hi experts,
I have seen that zpool status reports zpool as ONLINE even if storage connectivity is lost.
is there a way to get zpool check for actual status rather than reading it from cache?
Even a statvfs64 on zfs on top of it do not return error.
I have cache seeting to none aspool is imported with AltRoot.
I am looking for a comand that can be used to monitor the health of pool which will be schedule to run.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I asssume you mean the scqsd process is running on the QS, right?
A QS is shown as offline, it the monitor could not reach it when it last tried. This is usually due to a networking problem.
If you issue a clq status, the monitor checks again and if it can reach the QS will change its status back to online.
If this does not happen, check your logs, what kind of error message showed up.
Does clqs show on the QS show the correct information?
It is obvious, that if a node dies and the QS has been offline prior to the node death, that the other node will die as well due to lack of quorum, i.e. it has less votes than needed. You seem to have a basic networking problem or something is really wrong with your QS.

I keep getting your applie Id has been disabled even after signing out and back in, what do I do?

I keep getting your applie Id has been disabled even after signing out and back in, what do I do?

If changing your password does not work, then contact itunes support.

Album not backing up correctly; can't see backup status in preferences; can't sign out.

I am using PSE 9, currently on the Mac (moved from PSE 9 on PC about two months ago). I have noticed that the last album I added to PSE still has the double-arrow head backup indication next to it, and these pictures indeed are not in my online account. This commonly happened on my PC, in that I would click on the account like in PSE, enter my password, and not matter what it would say it was incorrect. I would then hit 'Sign out', re-enter my credentials with the same password I'd been using, and the system would then start backing up correctly again.
Unfortunately on the Mac, when I hit the 'Sign out' link in the dialog asking for my password (after clicking on my 'Welcome, ...' link in PSE), it does not sign me out - it pauses for 20-30 seconds with spinning color wheel, then simply shows that I'm still connected. If I try to go to Preferences -> Backup, I receive a message that there was a problem and I should re-open preferences later. If I force the backup background process to stop by rt-clicking on the icon in the Mac menu bar, it indeed closes correctly; however, when I re-enable it is PSE under preferences, as soon as I hit the checkbox it tries to connect to my online account, then gives me the same error indicating that I should "... close Preferences and try again."
Can anyone give me some advice as to why a) the backup in PSE 9 seems to eventually fail and need to be disconnected / reconnected or b) why the 'Sign out' link does not work, or why my password is not accepted inside PSE only?

Hello and thanks for the reply. I have actually been launching the Organizer and PSE directly, rather than through the Welcome Screen. The issue is that when I hit the link in the Organizer that shows my name, it won't accept my password; in the past I would simply hit 'Sign Out' and then log right back in, and things would be fine. However, using the 'Sign Out' link does not work - the software hangs for 20-30 seconds, then comes back still showing my account name. In addition, I've already existed the backup tool in the upper bar on the screen - yet when I try to get it back from Preferences -> Backup/Sync, enabling the checkbox fails with the error I mention above.
I've also tried a complete uninstall and reinstall, and tried to find any preferences files still on the Mac in between and manually trashed them. I also did an Optimize and Repair on my catalog, both of which completed successfully, but the behavior is still not correct.

CBT Enrollment Status shows 'Completed' even though you have only done 1%

Hello,
Can anyone advise why the enrollment status on a CBT, shows 'Completed' when you access it and only complete a part of the CBT (in the Enrolment Summary table). When you click on 'Completed', and view full Enrolment Details the 'Successful Attendance' field is automatically flagged as 'Yes' and the 'Enrollment Status' shows Attended.
The Learner has definately not completed or passed the CBT.
Thanks
Debbie

Hi Anders,
1: Are you using Oracle iLearning or Oracle Learning Management (OLM)?
OLM
2: How is the content set up in the LMS: What is your content structure (chapters, sub chapters etc.)?
I am not sure but it looks like chapters and sub-chapters, that exapnd and collapse. We are using the "Microsoft® Office Standard Edition 2003 Collection" software
3: Do you use SCORM or AICC to communicate between content and LMS? SCORM
Thanks

In Apps store on mac pro my apple id is showing as someone else and I cannot remove the name to re input my actual apple id even after signing out - it is set as default or something and yet I am the only user of the mac?

<Email Edited by Host>

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Skype status stays [Online] after sign out

Hi
Recently my skype has left online when I sign out. Over night my skype was logged in.
I changed my password then went offline and asked a friend. They confirmed I was still logged in.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I use Skype for Windows and Skype for Android (on two devices). Even when I sign out on these devices and I turn them off and I also sign out and turn off my computer, all my friends confirms that I remain Online. It is not like for few minutes, I remain Online for all the time, I just never go offline. I tried to change my password like four times, I even try to reinstall Skype on all my devices and nothing changed. I'm starting to be a little scared. Could anyone help my please?

Hi, Sajid.ali283, and welcome to the Community,
For your benefit, please review our Community Guidelines for a better understanding of why I needed to redact your post as I did.
The online/offline status problem is a known issue in the most recent versions of Skype. Many people work around this by setting their status to "invisible" prior to signing out, although on mobile versions where this setting is not available, this would not work.
For not being able to place or receive calls, please start a new topic on the message board which matches the operating system upon which you use Skype. Best practice in these types of on-line communities is one enquiry per discussion or "thread." Thanks!

Elaine

Status shows AWAY when i am signed out on android

I have a htc one m8 with latest lollipop and also updated skype to its latest version.. When i sign out, i appear AWAY and to avoid my contacts being confused, i have to leave my status as INVISIBLE so i can correctly be shown as OFFLINE. This is a major bug or a stupid way to save battery power which some people say skype is trying to do, something to do with 8 hour server sync etc etc nonsensical rubbish. Many have been complaining about STATUS issues for about a year now if not longer. Why is it not sorted yet ? Skype Android should also notify/alert when any contact comes online. Skype has been around for a very long time and this status issue shows very poor performance.. It seems they are pushing skype users away deliberately. How can a simple status problem not be fixed in a year if not longer ? :-/

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,

HT204407 Find my Friends app signs me out even while running in background. How can I fix this?

This happened before and after updating the OS to iOS6. If I open FmF, sign in, it won't stay signed in. I can't use the alerts because after a time, even if I leave the app running in the background, it signs me out. I can still be found by others but can't be informed when friends reach locations.
My husband and I purchased the same phones at the same time, and his does not have the same problem. We sync using the same Apple ID and share apps. The only issue I can imagine would be a setting that differs between phones but have not been able to nail it down.

Try creating a passcode for your device in settings. This means you need to enter the passcode before accessing anything on your device, this way you will stay signed into the FmF app even while running in the background and it will not require you to sign in every time you launch the app. However, once you remove the passcode to your device in settings, the FmF app will again require you to sign in whenever you launch the app. I think this is for security reasons.
Hope this helps.

HT5622 I cannot get my new Apple ID to show up on iCloud! I've signed out and back in using the new id and even turned my iPad completely off and on. Nothing works. Help!

I cannot get my newly changed Apple ID to change in I cloud on my iPad. I have signed out and back in with my new id and have turned off my iPad completely and back on....it's still showing up with the old user name in iCloud. Help!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hello.
Sorry for opening a post with no doubt hundreds of others that have had the same problem. I just can't seem to get a working solution to which I have no resorted in making a post myself.
When I used "/showplaces" it says "You have 1 online endpoints:" And proceeds to give me details to my desktop. And to be double cautious, I use the "/remotelogout" command. Nothing appears so I am unsure if this command was executed properly or not.
I set myself to invisible and in my Tools -> Options -> General Settings. My "Show me as Away when I've been inactive for" is unchecked.
So after that, I click on Skype -> Sign Out. And with hopeful thoughts and praying that it worked, I check my relatives Skype in the next room and I am still appearing offline. This has been the case for over four hours without me signing back in with the hopes of it timing out.
What other steps can I take to resolve this problem? I've tried removing and re-installing skype with no avail.
These are my system specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Service Pack 1
Skype Version: 7.0.85.100
Without sounding harsh, I have no interest in the current development or which direction the company is trying to go in. Nor am I interested in what is trying to be achieved. I simply just want to be able to logout and appear offline as to be expected.
Thank you in advance, if there's any more information that is required, please don't hesitate to ask!
Kind regards.
TLD:
When I sign invisible, it remains in the same status as I previously was. For example, if i set myself to Do not disturb. Then set myself to invisible, I still remain as Do not disturb. Same with Away and Online.
I cannot even set myself as Invisible.

When you say you have changed your Apple ID, how did you change it? Did you maintain your existing Apple ID via Manage your Apple ID and EDIT it to a new email address, or did you set up a brand new Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB

Status when i am signed out

Hello, could you help and explain why my skype status is always showing as if I was signed in, even if I signed out of all the devices? I created alternative skype account and tested my personal account: it appears always online...

using that second account, make sure first that your first account is logged out from any computer/devices, then send a message to your first account. Most likely the message will not be delivered and the status of your first account will be changed to offline after a few seconds.

There is a work around so that you will be shown offline when you log out from all devices.
1. Sign in to your account in the Skype application in a computer or a laptop.
2. Select any contact then type this to the message box: /showplaces then hit on send.
The /showplaces command will show the instances where you are currently logged in at that time.
3. Now type this command: /remotelogout then hit on send.
It will automatically log you out from your mobile devices, tablet, other laptop except on the one that you are using right now.
Lastly, all you need is to sign out from the Skype application on the computer that you are using and ask a friend if you show as Offline.
This one really works. Believe me
