Unprofessional Skype name- Do I need to create a n...

Hello,
I have an unprofessional skype username affiliated with my account-something cute made in middle school. It has all of my contacts associated with it. I can update/change my name and contact information on the account, but I don't see a way to change the skype username. I do not want it to display when I am connecting with colleagues or professionals wishing to connect for skype interviews. 
Do I need to create an entirely new account with a more professional username (something close to my name as possible) and then update my name and contact info? If so, how do i get all of my contacts to transfer to the new account? Please help!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change or modify Skype Usernames.  I think such restriction is not only employed by Skype but by other online services as well.  Moreover, users can change their Display Name (or Full Name) by going to the Edit Your Profile Page.  This is what will also be displayed on the other party when you call them or send them a message.
Yet, if you really need to use a certain username.  You may need to create a new account.  Users can have more than one account and can even register the same information and email address in the new account/s (but a different email address in each accounts is more advisable).
Moreover, if in case you consider to create a new account and have no intentions to use the old or original one.  please click here for more suggestions or advice.

  • Remove My Skype Name from Skype directory

    I don't want to receive contact request from anyone who knows my name so I wanted to change my Skype Name and change my Display Name to stop people finding me with my full name on Skype.
    But I read in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name-or-display-name-in-skype-for-windo..." that It’s not possible to change my Skype Name. And If I want to have a different Skype Name, I will need to create a new account.
    So I start looking for how to delete my present Skype account before creating a new one. And I followed all the instructions in this topic "https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/can-i-delete-my-skype-account". Now I need to remove My Skype Name from the Skype directory. I tried to contact Skype Customer Service by Email but they're having some problems at the moment.

    Hi, Community14,
    Thank you for your report.  Please try contacting Skype Customer Service again, this time using a different web browser than you typically use. 
    Regards,
    Elaine

    If i wanna get a new name for skype

    Dear Readers, A Skype account name cannot be changed once it is created.To start using a new account name, you would need to create a new account. To remove/close a Skype account, please see here for next steps:http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-Do-I-Close-My-Skype-Account/td-p/3146196 Regards,Elaine

  • Skype name, how to create if account created using...

    Is there a way t create a Sype name i can use to log on with if I created my Skpe account with a Microsoft Account.  I need this as having trouble withSkype displaying Microsoft account login screen.

    Thanks Ruwin.  The problem is that the Skype sign in sreen starts as normal but when I click on Skype Name and try to log in with my Skype Name it does not work because I signed up with my Microsoft account.  So I used to click on Microsoft account at the Skype Sign in page and that used to work fine and still does on other computers but on the computer at home because it says "This page containss errors.  Go back."  I think its a problem with Flashplayer.  I have Flashplayer but it won't update, but it palys flash movies and stuff.  I tried to install Flashplayer again but it says ?unable to load metafile".  I can't find how to fix that problem.  The Adobe help stuff says I need to check that Shockwave Flash Player add ons are enabled in my Internet Explorer and Fire Fox but they arn't in my lists of add ons.  I want to keep my Skype account because it works on other computers.  Thanks.

  • How do I create a Skype Name in this new environme...

    For a variety of reasons, I have created a new Microsoft Account. In attempting to set it up with Skype, I was never asked to create a Skype Name. This has created issues sining into Skype, as well as telling people how to Skype me. I do NOT want to give them my email address as my Skype contact. A Skype name is much more suited for this situation.
    How do I create a Skype name that people can use to call me?
    This beggs the question of why Loging into Skype and idnetification is co complicated. Associated with this one account there are the following methods of primary identification: Skype Name, Microsoft Account, Display Name, Skype Community Name, and there seems to be an additional display name for each Skype accont in the Community which begins with live: and then a modified form of the user's email address. That is A LOT to remember. I had a difficult time just logging in because it asks for my Skype name and the blank would not accept any of the aforementioned identifications. I had to get here by signing into Skype Desktop and then clicking a link to go through rather than signing in. The sign in would not accept my credentials.
    Bottom line is all these issues would go away if I could figure out how to get a skype name.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13/13.1 running on?
    Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, open the Elements Organizer 13/13.1 and select your media
    for the Contact Sheet.
    Go to File Menu/Print and set up the Print Dialog for Contact Sheet.
    If you used Edit Menu/Add Caption beforehand, I can see how you can get
    Date
    Caption
    Filename
    under the Print dialog's "4" and even a page number if you have more than 1 page. But, I am not seeing
    where you are going to get a title for each of the contact sheets.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Do I need to create indexes on column name?

    Following queries have been shown as bad sql :          
    select * from t1 where name = 'FUNCTION'
    Count=     7     Avg Time=13     Min Time=0     Max Time=47
    select * from t2 where name = 'USER_TYPE'      
    Count=2     Avg Time=85     Min Time=0     Max Time=156
    select * from t3 where name = 'TEMPLATE'
    Count=7     Avg Time=19     Min Time=0     Max Time=32
    All these tables have less than 20 records and static tables.                    
    Do I need to create indexes on column name?

    A FTS even on very small tables can require more latches than accessing via an index. Also, a table access requires the segment header and data block to be accessed (2) whereas an index on a small index only requires access to the index root block and table block (2).
    True, it's unlikely to make much of a difference in most environments but if the table is really heavily accessed, indexing even very small tables can help to reduce the related latch overheads.
    Most of these small tables have PKs and are accessed via the PK so associated indexes usually exist anyways.
    Cheers

  • I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer

    I need to create an action or script to save the file with the name of the selected layer (not including the hidden layers, but including those visible).
    How could modify the script: 'Layer Comps To Files.jsx' to get the result?
    Warning: I do not need to export all layers as files.
    Who can help me?
    THX in advance

    Versione in Italiano (Further down the English version)
    NB - Nella versione inglese ho messo tutte le immagini dei menu in italiano.
    Versione per Mac, ma credo sia identico per Windows.
    Spiego passo passo cosa ho fatto:
    - Ho creato un file esempio con tre Livelli, salvato sulla scrivania e ho chiuso il file.
    - Ho aperto il file e selezionato il Livello al centro per iniziare a registrare una azione che ho chiamato: Save with Name of Selected Layer
    - Nuova azione
    - Dare il nome e premere Registra
    Ora salva…
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Ancora una volta Menu --> Livello... --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Ordina --> Dietro
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci sotto
    - Menu --> Livello --> Unisci visibili
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... e premi -ok-, (lascia il nome che viene mostrato)
    - Menu --> Livello - Nascondi Livello
    - Menu --> Elimina --> Elimina livelli nascosti (press -Yes-)
    - Menu --> Livello --> Nuovo --> Livello... Inserisci questo: 'Move this to the trash' e premi ok
    - Menu --> File --> Script --> Esporta Livelli in File... (Nella finestra che si apre scegliere l’opzione che si desidera, ma togliere il prefisso del nome) e premere -Esegui-
    - Selezionare il pannello Storia cliccare su Elimina premendo -Si- ogni volta che si apre la finestra di dialogo (Ripetere 8 volte questa operazione sino ad arrivare nella storia alla condizione di partenza. Ho visto che è meglio di Ripristina -F12-)
    - Fermare la registrazione.
    A questo punto, mandando in esecuzione questa Azione, ho raggiunto parzialmente l’obiettivo perché i file così creati mantengono, purtroppo, dei prefissi numerici per evitare probabilmente la sovrascrizione di file (credo senza avviso) nel posto dove vengono creati.
    Per ottenere l’obiettivo occorre un nuovo passo ed a proposito di questo riferisco quanto segue:
    ATTENZIONE - L’operazione descritta qui di seguito deve essere fatta su di una copia del file, per cui:
    - Duplicare il file,
    - Spostare l’originale in altra cartella
    - Lavorare sul file duplicato.
    mi riferisco a questo...
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica è effettuata a proprio rischio e pericolo ed il sottoscritto non si assume alcuna responsabilità su quanto venga fatto soprattutto da mani inesperte.
    ATTENZIONE - Questa modifica sovrascrive qualsiasi file che abbia nome uguale al layer che viene selezionato più l’estensione del file naturalmente.
    Comunque la modifica è banalissima e a portata di chiunque.
    Procedere così:
    - Chiudere Photoshop
    - Aprire (nel percorso specificato dall’immagine) il file “Export Layers to Files.jsx” (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) con un editor di testo puro.
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1029)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4);
    fileNameBody += "_" + layerName;
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += layerName;
    - cercare la stringa (dovrebbe essere in riga 1047-46)
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "_" + zeroSuppress(i, 4) + "s";
    - sostituirla con:
    var fileNameBody = fileNamePrefix;
    fileNameBody += "";
    - salvare e uscire.
    - riavviare Photoshop
    - provare l’azione registrata facendo attenzione che il nome del layer non sia identico al nome di un file già presente altrimenti questo verrà sovrascritto.
    Domanda:
    Perché ho creato livelli che poi ho eliminato ecc.
    Risposta:
    Semplice per evitare errori di esecuzione delle azioni nel caso di operazioni con livelli mancanti o altro.
    Semplice... no?
    English version
    Mac version, but I think it's the same for Windows.
    First of all, I'm translating the actions that I made using the Italian version of Photoshop, you look at the position of the menu that I have chosen to do the work with other languages.
    I explain step by step what I did:
    - I created a sample file with three layers, saved to the desktop and I closed the file.
    - I opened the file and select the layer at the center to start recording an action that I called: Save with Name of the Selected Layer
    - New action
    - Give the name and press Save ( I think it is so in English )
    Now save ...
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Once again Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - > Arrange (order) -> Behind
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Down
    - Menu -> Layer - > Merge Visible
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… and press -ok- , (leave the name that is shown)
    - Menu -> Layer - Hide Layer
    - Menu - > Delete - > Delete hidden layers (press -Yes- )
    - Menu -> Layer - > New —> Layer… Enter this: ' Move this to the trash ' and press ok
    - Menu -> File - > Scripts -> Export Layers To Files... (In the window that opens select the option you want, but take away the name prefix) and press - Run -
    - Select the History panel and click Delete (on menu opened) pressing -Yes- every time when open the dialog box (8 times Repeat this step until you get into the story to the starting condition. Not use Restore -F12-).
    - Stop recording.
    At this point, by executing this action, I have reached the goal partly because the files created in this way remain, unfortunately, the numerical prefixes to avoid possibly overwriting of files (I think without notice) in the place where they are created.
    To achieve the goal we need a new step and thinking about this as follows:
    WARNING - The operation described below should be made on a copy of the file, so :
    - Duplicate the file
    - Move the original folder to another
    - Work on the duplicate file.
    WARNING - This modification is performed at your own risk and the undersigned assumes no responsibility on what is done mostly by inexperienced hands.
    WARNING - This change will overwrite any files with the same name as the selected layer plus the file extension of course.
    However, the change is trivial and within reach of anyone.
    Proceed as follows:
    - Close Photoshop
    - Open (in the specified path from the image ) file " Export Layers to Files.jsx " (Export Layers To Files.jsx 1.0.0.16) with a pure text editor.
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1029 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody = + "_" + zeroSuppress (i, 4 ) ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + layerName ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = layerName ;
    - Search for the string (should be in line 1047-46 )
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "_ " + zeroSuppress (i, 4) + "s" ;
    - Replace it with :
    var = fileNameBody fileNamePrefix ;
    fileNameBody + = "";
    - Save and exit.
    - Restart Photoshop
    - Try the recorded Action, making sure that the layer name is not identical to the name of an existing file otherwise it will be overwritten.
    Question:
    Why I created levels which I then deleted etc..
    Answer:
    Simple to avoid errors of execution of the actions in the case of transactions with missing levels and other.
    Simple ... is not it?
    Sorry for my bad English...
    Thanks in advance for any hint.
    --->>> Please think about this... Adobe <<<---

  • Cannot Sign In With Skype Name- Need To Link Microsoft Account

    My skype name apparently contains an underscore. I cannot sign into Skype using my Skype name, and this is probably why.
    The ONLY way I can sign is to click "Login with Facebook" on the desktop app. But when I sign in this way, it does NOT give me the option to link my Microsoft account (I've gone to "home" view and clicked the gear at top right, only says "manage hidden updates" and nothing else.
    I cannot sign into Skype from anything except a desktop because "Login with Facebook" is only available there. So how can I fix this?
    All I want to do is be able to sign in by typing my skype name and password- which skype will not let me do.

    My parents are having the same problem. I got them a MobileMe account, but when they try to log into iTunes, it says their Apple ID doesn't exist. When they try to create a new account, it says for them to cancel and log in using their MobileMe account. Loop anyone?

  • Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

    Hi!
    I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
    I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act  of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

    Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
    Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked).  If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password. 
    Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
    If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

  • Skype Name Problem

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with my skype name, because I created my account around 2005, I lost my password and I cannot restart it because Skype says:
    It looks like the account associated with the Skype Name migcenel doesn’t have any billing details. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to verify your identity.
    If you can access your email address don’t forget you can reset your password by clicking here or find out your Skype Name by going to this page and clicking "Forgotten your Skype Name".
    The problem is that my email associated with that account is closed and I really need to get back my skype name because is my unique name in all my accounts.
    Can you help me with this?

    Hi, migarcangel,
    I just found your post in the Skype Manager message board today (6/11/2012).
    Unfortunately, you may not be able to recover your account if you cannot prove the ownership of it to Skype Customer Service.  While I appreciate the inconvenience, this is for our safety and security.  Here is the link to an FAQ article with more information:

  • Someone changed my skype name and deleted my conta...

    I went on holidays for a week, next time i tried to log in, the system did not allow me to enter
    i requested a new password, and to my surprise, my new name was: [Removed for privacy] , like a joke name..
    so anyway.. i set a new password and enter my new [Removed for privacy] account.. 
    with no contacts in it..
    so i ask google if its possible to change back my [Removed for privacy] name, to a human one, and to my second surprise, its NOT possible
    So...   how this happend?   if its not possible, some error in the system did it?
    or this is really possible, but not allowed to "normal people"
    I need to recover my contacts and my older Skype name
    Please if you have a clue of what could have happen, help would be nice

    It is indeed not possible to change a Skype username., so it seems that someone else may have created a new account under your email address.  Unfortunately, Skype doesn't send confirmation or validation emails to the email address registered when creating an account.  
    you may now need to contact customer service for further for further asssistance in regaining access to your account. Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -

  • Change skype name without new account

    HI  I want to change my skype name to make it the same as my internet link but when I read information it says you need a new account.  But my account is a paid international subscription.  Since it is a paid one, can I change my skype name.

    Hi, Healthclan,
    To clarify, a Skype account name cannot be changed once it is created.  This has always been Skype's policy.
