Using Skype from Multiple Devices - Keeping them i...

I use my skype account from many different devices as I travel. Can I "force" an update to make sure I've received updates or reflect sends from other devices (esp. IM & SMS) to the device I'm on at the moment? I'm kinda tired of my iPhone grabbing updates and they take forever or never get to my iPad or PC when I switch to it. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes the delay or it not happening at all is a major aggravation.
Thanks in Advance
John

I am having the same problem, Skype is not updating IM or contact information between my home computer and my Iphone. Even one contact that was added has a photo and yet on my computer and iphone the photo doesn't show.
Then I also realized that there were a whole bunch of messages that didn't come through, so missed out on replying to those!
Skype is failing big time!

Using Skype on multiple devices

I have the same Skype address I use on several devices including an Android phone. The problem I have is that Skype seems to prefer to ring the phone first and I would rather it ring the laptop first. Is there any way to prioritise which device Skype contacts first?
Thanks
John

Thanks. This is what I suspected, but needed confirmation.
An extension to this question, then, is do all devices (desktop, laptop, mobile phone) all ring simultaneously when a call is received?
I suspect that it does and I can answer on any of the devices, but I want to be sure.
I am really new to this, but in light of near future travel plans, Skype will solve numerous communications issues on several levels.
Thanks again.

Hi i'm new here, i wanna ask about supercell game Clash of Clans, i think someone hacked my village.
Yesterday i used my dad's phone which is Android to play coc, since then someone from another device keep playing and even taking gems, i've tried to log out and even change my gmail account, but it's not working, what should i do?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five iTunes store accounts (Apple IDs). a library thusly set up will sync content purchased with any of the five Apple IDs to any device.

Using Skype from a Cellphone - not a true Smartpho...

I need to access and use Skype from overseas, and am considering buying a a Chinese phone called the X10. It's an unlocked quad-band GSM phone - which is fine - supports GPRS & WiFi, but is not 3G. It supports Java but is not Android. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for in features that will allow Skype use, and what I should avoid? Many thanks. Steve

You probably want an Android or iPhone for use with the Skype mobile apps. Phones with the Symbian operating system - mostly Nokia phones - can also use a Skype app, but lacks some of the features available in the Android or iPhone versions. If you are able to confine your use to Skype to WiFi, not having 3G or 4G/LTE on your mobile phone is probably not an issue.
I have a Nokia N8 mobile phone, which uses the Symbian operating system. Nice phone, compatible with GSM/UMTS networks around the world. The Skype app for it is not great, but works on WiFi or 3G data networks. What I ended up doing was also purchasing an iPod Touch, which is compatible with apps for the iPhone, and a WiFI hotspot app for my N8. Then I use Skype on the iPod, connecting to the Internet through the N8's hotspot app via WiFi. It takes two devices in this case to use Skype, but I'm making use of the better Skype app on the iPod over the N8. Or I can just use the iPod if I have access to WiFi wherever I happen to be.
Hope that helps!

Unable to use AirPlay from multiple iOS and MacBook pro

HI, I seem to be having issues using AirPlay From multiple iOS devices.
I have the following devices, iphone 6 plus, iPad air (both Gen 1 and 2) an iPad 2 and a MacBook Pro running Yosemit. I also have 2 Apple TVs (both gen 1 and 2).
Recently I have found that I am unable to use AirPlay on any of the iOS devices to either Apple TVs, the MacBook Pro will Airplay mirror ok, I am however able to use iTunes shairing from a Windows 8PC. I have restarted and also reset both Apple TVs and my router, I have also reset the connection settings on all the iOS devices but still can't resolve the issue.
The Apple TVs have Internet connection so I can't see any issues network connections.
ANyone else got got any Ideas?
Thanks

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Why i am unable to use skype from my sony xperia c3 dual phone.help me as soon as possible.

i was using skype from my mobile phone and it was really good but few days i was unable to use skype.i face lot of problem.please help me as soon as possible.

Sounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

Using iOS5 on multiple devices

hi Forum
Is there a view on how to use iOS5 on multiple devices when multiple devices are owned by differing family members? i have an iPhone, my partner has an iPhone, and together we have an iPad. [i have a MBP as well but havent updated to Lion yet, dont knwo if this is part of this question]. iOS5 can sync to multiple devices so can we sync all apps and musc between the mobile devices? do they have to be on the same apple user ID? of have i got that wrong?
also contacts and photos wise, we both have our own photos, contacts, calendar and mail. can any/all of these be syncd between us all? i guess the one that would be syncd would be photos as youd want to see that on the ipad.
Andi

The iTunes account and iCloud accounts are not linked on your devices.
So you can each have an iCloud account that works on your iDevices nd all be logged into the same iTunes account in the iTunes Store, App Store, IBooks, etc.
You do really need your iMac to be on 10.7.2 as it was a requirement before you moved to iCloud, did you lie when asked the question "are all your devices ready for iCloud".

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals where each original is still separate?

How do I create a single image using PSE12 from multiple originals in which the originals are still separate (i.e. side by side or arranged in a square)? I could do this in PSE2, but can't find how to get PSE12 to do it.
Grecophile55

In PSE2 there was a single photo-merge. I browsed all my images and I could then click and drag each to its new position before saving. There doesn’t seem to be a similar facility in PSE12.

[HELP] I use Skype from two computers and i notice...

Sorry for reposting this topic, but it didn't appear on the forum.
Hey there.
I use skype from two computers.
Last week i blocked a contanct from computer1 and yesterday i unblocked it from the same computer.
So i noticed that after i unblocked this contact, it still appears at my homepage with his picture, info and everything, BUT only from computer1.
When i use computer2, this contact appears at my contacts, but only with his skype name (the one he uses to log in) and not with his display name. Also, i can't see his picture or any other information. It just appears offline, with his log-in name and with no picture. That's all.
So what's going on? Why can i see everything normally from computer1 but not from computer2?
P.S.1 99% he blocked me too, but i have no idea whether he unblocked me or not.
P.S.2 I know my english is horrible, sorry for that.

How to delete apps from multiple devices?

I have multiple IOS devices that share a single Apple-id. Is there a way to delete the app from all IOS devices automatically, or do I have to delete it from each device?
Also, why do deleted APPs come back when the devices are sync'd (via cable) to my Mac?
Brian

Regarding your first question, I believe you have to delete them from each device --- unless you first delete the app from iTunes, then sync your i-device using iTunes.
Regarding the second question, the key is to delete the app from iTunes on your Mac. That would end the undesireable behavior.
