Stuck on "Signing in..." Windows 8

Ok, so ive done some searching before posting, and all things ive seen suggested aren't working.
The windows 8 skype app works, and so does the app on my phone, the desktop client refuses to sign in though. 
Here is what i've tried.
Installed all windows updates
Uninstalled and reinstalled skype to insure im using the most up to date version (6.11?)
Re-registered the .dll files
Turned off windows firewall completely (i have exceptions for skype though, and no other firewalls or antivirus programs installed)
Created new shortcut using the /leagacylogin 
Reset I.E to default settings (dont understand what that has to do with it)
Deleted the Skype folder in %appdata%
Deleted the DbTemp folder in %temp%\skype
Uninstalled LogMeIn Hamachi
Uninstalled 6.11 and tried 6.10
Logging in with microsoft account
Logging off iOs App, and windows 8 app
Eventually i get the message "! Skype can't connect."
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Try to uninstall the currently installed version and install the 6.9.0.106 version using this msi-installer:

After installing this version, make sure to disable the Automatic updates:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Automatic updates ->Turn off automatic updates

  • SOLVED - Weather App Doesn't Update Live Tile, Xbox (Games, Music, Video) App stuck at "Signing In" Help?

    I'm running Windows 8 Pro (RTM -> TechNet). Everything seemed OK the first day of use. Now onto the next day, I can't "Sign In" to any of the Xbox Apps and the Bing Weather app doesn't update its Live Tile with local weather. Other tiles/apps like Finance
    appear to be fine.
    Event Viewer is reporting:

    I am able to sign-in to the SkyDrive App without issue, and the Store App works fine as well. I have tried uninstalling Games, Music, and Video apps and reinstalling to correct the issue, no dice.  
    My Microsoft Account still signs into this site, my regular Xbox, iPad Xbox App, and Windows Phone just fine. What is up with Windows 8? Thanks in advance.

    It appears to end up having been a time sync issue. I must have only been off a couple of seconds?!? I decided to try Armed! and it reported a difference in Time when creating my profile for the game and I was like.. hmmm. So I went ahead and hit Internet
    Time settings (under Date and Time in Control Panel) and did a Update Now with time.windows.com. I am now able to login on all the apps I was having issues with before where it was stuck at "Signing In".

    Yes, It works.
    Solution:
    1. Exit and uninstall skype completely.
    2. Remove all other settings and data from "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Skype\"
    3. Restart Computer
    4. Download latest version of skype and install it again.
    There was some issue with existing settings saved in AppData Skype directory. When deleted, it reset everything and new installtion setup it again with default settings.
    Thank you!

  • Stuck on signing in for Version 6.21

    my skype just randomly stopped working on monday night after i got home from school, i tried to log in but it just froze on signing in. it worked fine on sunday. so now ive been running scans to see if it could be other problems but now it just stuck on signing in and it wont do anything else.

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in?  I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID.  I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

    how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window?  An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help.  Thanks.

    Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
    If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

    Sorry for the long title, first time poster here.

    This thread is pretty old, are you still having this issue?

    I assume you are implying "biztax" application here, right?
    I have contacted their program lead, with no result at all.
    Past days I have been searching for a solution - reinstalls / new systems - no solution.
    This issue appeared a week or two ago only.
    I found http://forums.adobe.com/message/5338853 useful - but no positive results either.
    http://test.eid.belgium.be/faq/faq_nl.htm obviously didnt help either.
    If anyone finds a solution to this issue, please do let me know - any help is appreciated.
    Biztax tells to use the "signature", not the "authentication"  - but it is only Auth. that is showing up as option to sign (that works)
    ps, did you fiddle with the Adobe Reader XI security settings and import that PKI etc as well? I hoped that would be the breaktrough. Sadly i'm still crying in my chair.
    Oh, and dont forget: they claim nobody else got this issue. Maybe one or two people. (We got about 8 customers experiencing exactly the same symptoms at the same time )
    >  I noticed that when I try to open the pdf  document that is 'signed' by the government it is not showing the filename in the title bar, but only " - Adobe Reader".    every piece of info helps I guess.
    Obviously last version of Reader   11.0.03

  • I can't log onto facetime on my mac.  My apple ID and password is correct and it is working on my ipad/iphone.  My facetime preferences is grayed out and I keep having to turn facetime on.  My screen gets stuck on signing in or verifying.

    I have used facetime on my mac recently and have not had this problem until today.  Facetime seems to have logged out on all of my devices but after putting my password in on my iphone/ipad it is back to normal however my Macbook will not allow me to log in.  I also noticed that facetime preferences is grayed and I keep trying to turn facetime on and that is graying out as well.  I put in my email and password and I get stuck on "signing in".  Or I get past that and I verify my email and password and I get stuck on "verifying" only to get booted back to the sign in page.  My OS is up to date, my wifi is on and working and I have no firewall on my home network.  I cannot figure out how to fix this.  I have tried some previous message troubleshooting such as updating the DNS entry to add 8.8.8.8 and that did not work.  I have tried to toggle facetime on and restart but that did not work.  I can't delete and reinstall facetime as it is connected to the OS and will not allow you to do that.

    I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the troubleshooting link you added has the first step listed as "Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences" which we (the original poster and I) can't do as our Preferences are greyed out. We can't click on them to verify anything.
    In FaceTime itself it's verified my apple id (also double checked via the site) and then it says the email is "verified" but then it freezes and after a minute or so it says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
    After checking the network connection, it still doesn't work. It's rather frustrating as it all worked fine until about a week or two ago.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up.  I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order.  What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

    My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up.  I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order.  What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Mobile Me Sign In Window Doesn't Appear

    I have no trouble publishing my iWeb website to Mobile me from my own computer. but when traveling, and trying to publish to Mobile me from a friend's computer, I get as far as the pop up window that tells me to sign in at Mobile Me, but when I click to proceed, no sign-in window appears. I can go directly to Mobile me and sign in, but this does not seem to matter to iWeb as I try to publish... because iWeb doesn't recognize that I have signed in directly. Why can I sign in directly by going to Mobile Me, but cannot sign in from iWeb when I am ready to publish updates to my website?
    Thanks in advance.

    ...I get this pop up window asking me to sign in.
    Linda ~ If it's a MobileMe pop up window, THIS thread begins:
    Every time I start iWeb it asks, Already a member? Sign in. Try mobile me for free for 60 days. How in the world do you shut that off.
    If that's similar to what you're seeing, the solution that thread ends with is this:
    Go to your Library / Preferences
    Open com.apple.iWeb.plist and set the value of dismissDotMacUpsellWindow to true (checkbox checked)
    ...If it is a MobileMe window but that solution doesn't fix it, as already mentioned above, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement. Other Apple support options are here.

    Hi,
    I'm using HP Pavailion 15-n020tu Stuck at Booting in Windows 8.1 Pro when I enable Hyper-V. And I have to enable Hyper-V to test my Windows Phone Apps in MS Visual Studio? Mty friend Dell Laptop does not facing this problem with same configuration which I have. Then why me are facing this problem?
    Help Me?
     I tried on Windows 8 Pro but again same problem. 
    So many things I tried updating Windows, Updating drivers but failed.

    Hello @Vikas_Kumawat80,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I understand that you are looking to enable Virtualization on your notebook computer, and I would be happy to be of assistance!
    While I do not have any experience with Virtualization, I do recommend taking a look at this resource on How to Enable and Use Client Hyper-V, as well as Run virtual machines on Windows 8.1 with Client Hyper‑V. I am not certain if this processor has hardware virtualization support, it appears that Windows 8.1 pro and enterprise may have built in capabilities.
    If you require further assistance on this, you might have to contact Microsoft on the topic.
    I hope this helps!

  • Reinstall Mavericks but stuck on sign in to the app store !!

    HI, yesterday i try to update Yosemite but it was not success
    Then i try to reinstall Mavericks and everything is fine until i sign in an apple account .
    i stuck on "signing in to the app store" and cant do anything
    what should i do?
    Thanks

    Hi .
    In order to reinstall Mavericks, you have to use OS X Recovery. Not re downoad Mavericks from the App Store.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to reinsstall OS X.
    Read prior to reinstalling >  About OS X Recovery
    Make sure to backup all your important data prior to reinstalling OS X.

  • Removing user name from sign-in window

    Upon starting Skype my username appears in the sign-in window by default.
    To stop this happening skype says: when skype is not running, in Finder click on Go, select Go To Folder, enter ~/Library/Application Support/Skype, and once there delete the folder bearing the username to be removed.
    This works, but only until the user with that name signs-in.  Thereafter the name reappears in the sign-in window.
    Can a username be removed without having to follow this procedure every time the user logs out, please.

  • In the boot up process my computer is stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen. What do I do?

    My computer is stuck on the "Starting Windows" screen.  I can't get it to boot up.  What do I do?

    try tapping f8 as it powers up and see if you can get into safe mode. When presented with this problem I usually boot the laptop from a technician's disk and run a preboot environment version of Windows, then do a chkdsk; /r on the primary hard drive. 60-70% of the time that fixes it.  You can also run the chkdsk: /r from safe mode if you can get there.
