  • SMS to non-Skype contacts

    I noticed,  that I can only sent SMS messages to Skype-contacts. If I try to send a SMS to a non-skype contact  the message is 'Failed to deliver'(in Dutch: 'Afleveren mislukt')
    Is there a possibility to send a SMS to non-skype contact ? Thanks

    I've run into a similar (but opposite) situation recently.  I upgraded my Mac to 10.10.3 around the same time I upgraded to the latest Skype application (around April 13th).  Now my non-Skype contacts do not appear in any of my custom lists.  My contacts are only in the "All" list.  They still are fine on my iPad, however.
    When I select a contact on my Mac, all of the checkboxes for which custom list the contact should be in are blank (unchecked).  I've reinstalled older versions of Skype for Mac and wiped out the settings.  This did not make a difference which makes me think the list settings stored on the Skype servers have been damaged.
    The iPhone version of Skype doesn't seem to even have access to these custom lists.  Skype keeps getting worse and worse with each update!

  • Synch Skype Contacts between devices

    I have the latest version of Skype on my Windows 7 laptop and ahve loaded the Skype app on my new Android LG G3 mobile phone.  Is their a way to migrrate the Skype Contacts on my laptop into the Skype Contacts on my mobile phone.
    All previous discussions on this topic seem to be archived and don't specifically relate to my issue.
    Thanks in anticipation! 

    If you create an Acrobat.com account, you can sync from the iPad to Acrobat.com, then from Acrobat.com to the iPhone.
    This may help you:

    I am not familiar with the different software that you mentioned but as a
    first step I would check compatibility which is done as below:
    Get original operating system CD that was used to install Windows XP on the
    machine in your post. When Windows XP is inserted into CD ROM drive it
    normally will ask you to conduct compatibility check for the current
    installation. See what it says.

  • Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?

    Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft  Dear all who can really help,  Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time?  Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only"  I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts.  I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS).  And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas.  BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member.   I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day.  However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly.  I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever?  I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much. 

    Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
    No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
    What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
    If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
    Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
    thxs!
    cheers

  • How can I get rid of the virus transmitted through Skype?

    I recently clicked on a bitly virus link, transmitted through my Skype contact. I already ran two antivir programes, but still think that my MacBook Air, doesn`t
    run smootly since then. Internet is way slower as normally and the fan suddenly got so loud. Does someone has the same problem and maybe some tips,
    what I can do?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best,
    Yulya

    There are currently no know viruses (last I checked) that affect MacOS. There are some trojans. If you've run anti-virus programs and they don't show anything then your problem is something else.
    The most recommended (on these forums, anyway) Mac antivirus program is ClamXav. Have you used it?

  • Received message from removed contact

    today i removed a contact from my Contact list and a couple hours later he replied to one of our conversations and i received it.
    i have set the settings to get messages/calls from people on my contact list only.
    how much time it takes for skype to fully acknowledge that that person is no longer on my list?

    but i'm talking about a 1-1 conversation we had.
    for example.
    myself and contact Z had a private 1-1 chat.
    i remove contact Z from my list.
    and a couple hours later he wrote to our private chat and this arrived to me, even though i had set to get messages only from contacts.

  • Chat messages from all contacts

    I use Skype 5.8 for Iphone. I would like to get messages - chat messages from all contacts, not only from which I have in my contact list. Is anybody can help me how to do it on Iphone?

    ask your children to change their applid to stop receiving that or if they are on iCloud to just delete the account on the iPod and then when it asks to keep or remove contacts from the iPhone. make sure to remove so they will no longer see those contacts
    -if they are syncing with a mac or pc just uncheck contacts from the Info tab on your iPhone from iTunes if you are not using iCloud.

  • Skype Contacts Deleted Apon Left Click

    When I went to go to my skype to check a message, all my chat history and contacts were deleted... I really need my contacts back as they were my important friends. I do not know what happebned... and its urgent I get them back... please help....

    Sounds very simular to my experience starting yesterday.
    Windows version 7 pro.
    Skype version 7.4.64.102. 
    After a Windows update and reboot yesterday, I found my contact list is blank. I always keep the setting to show ALL contacts. After some quick investigations I have found:
    If I change this setting to show skype contacts, the screen is blank
    If I change this setting to show all contacts, the screen is blank
    I am still getting notifications someone came online, although I cannot see them in the contact list since it is blank.
    I can go to the recent contacts and the screen will populate
    I can change the contacts to only show online and the screen will populate. 
    Signing out and signing back in, doesn't change anything.
    Rebooting the computer doesn't change anything.

  • With an iPad do you need to cover it with an antivirus cover as I keep getting a message from Skype that I'm not covered

    With an iPad do I need to buy an anti virus to cover the iPad as I keep getting messages from Skype telling me I'm not covered?.

    Those skype messages are spam. iPads do not need anti-virus because, as of now, there is no known virus for the iPad. (and know that a 'virus' has a very specific definition....a program that spreads itself by moving from file to file within your device, 'contaminating' one program after another.....the 'sandbox' nature of the iPad keeps different programs/apps from talking to each other, thus a virus, by that defintion, cannot spread)
    That said the iPad is vulnerable to browser hijacks and redirects and forms of malware....but all those do require the user to do something to help them spread.
    That skype ad, are you using some sort of free app? Often 'free' apps come at the price of you getting ads like that. Also, if you're using safari and you're seeing some sort of popup ad for that skype anti-virus it wn't install on your iPad since the application thinks you're on a comptuer and it will install that junk on your computer but won't run on the iPad's operating system.
    Chances are that message from skype is either spam or phishing or some sort of malwere wanting you to tap 'yes' so it can try to install.

  • Sync Skype Contacts with FB, Google, Outlook, Android, iPhone, etc.

    I am stunned to see that there appears to be very limited capability to sync contact details between Skype and other products (e.g. Google Mail Contacts).  I am sick of having to enter corrections to contact details in multiple locations.  I suggest that a really great and popular feature would be the ability to set up links to other on-line contact lists whereby contact details are kept up-to-date between Skype and other commonly used software.

    Don't be stunned, Gwalior, Skype's last name is Microsoft now... ((

  • Can't see my Skype contacts in people tab.

    Hi,
    after the latest update for windows phone 8, when I slide to the people tab, I can't see any of my Skype contacts. There is only no available contacts message.
    I can only see contacts in the recent tab and I can see the full list when I try to add a contact in the favourites tab.
    Is this a bug or I can change that?

    Hi,
    Yes I've had the disappearing animation problem. It shows in preview but not in design,
    I deleted and re-inserted it. That cured it - but for how long.
    This latest update has been a disaster for me.
    Regards
    David

    Hi
    one of my skype contacts told me today they were able to see some of my other skype contacts via their new facebook account. I do not use facebook butsome of my other skype friends do.
    Any suggestions as to how I would prevent this from happening. My privacy remains important to me.
