Why won't Skype calls ring?
. . . because the "Ring on all devices" feature has been removed. Therefore, if you use headphones, you must unplug them every time you take them off and step/look away from your computer - otherwise, you will miss calls. I don't understand the logic behind the removal of that feature. Can someone from Skype enlighten me?

Hi,
Unfortunately due to changes in the Windows Audio infrastructure it is not possible any more to ring all audio devices at the same time on Windows which is why we had to remove this functionality.
You can manually re-order the order of priority for your audio devices to ring. So e.g. you could have your computers audio always ring, even if your headset is plugged in. You will find that option in the Skype options' "General - Audio Settings" section.

Why won't my alram ring? I have it set for a daily one and the screen shows the word "alarm" but no sound
I've been having the same problem with my new iphone 4s. I'm a seasoned iphone user. I can have it sitting on the table next to me and the screen won't light up, ring, anything. Then I can pick it up sometime and see there's a missed call, even missed texts, new voicemail, and never a sound or any notice. I've done a hard reset, but not a settings reset. I'll try that, but I'm not holding my breath. I had a 3gs for more than two years and never had a problem.

Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...
Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?
The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

Why won't Skype let me update my credit card infor...
The credit card I signed up to Skype with recently expired and I now have a new one. For every single one of my subscriptions, I have been able to update the credit card information without a single interruption.
And yet, despite having had complaints about this issue going back years, Skype remains the only xxxxxxxxxxxx service on the face of the planet that requires you to cancel your subscription in order to enter in a new credit card.
Do the people who run this service live under the impression that credit cards are eternal items without expiration dates? Why should I have to go through the annoyance of cancelling my Skype number, subscribing to a new one with my updated credit card, and then go through the process of informing all my friends and family that my Skype number has been changed? Why can't Skype simply allow me to update my credit card information?
The fact that this problem even exists is inexcusable. I'd expect this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from a small website based in a third-world country, not a global enterprise owned by one of the biggest corporations on the face of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx planet.I have a related problem. The bank recently sent me a new credit card with a different number. So I needed to update my Skype account. But geez, this is an infuriating and hopeless pursuit! The problem in my situation actually lies with the "Verified-by-Visa" process that Skype has outsourced to CA Technologies. The Vierified-by-Visa validation process fails on the Skype site, though it is successful with other vendors. I have verified with my bank that the card and account are fine. The Verified-by-Visa configuration is correct and tested. So it's Skype/Microsoft that have the problem.
But the comical and sad state is that the support process at Skype is idiotic and circular. With each communication, the Skype representative directs me to begin the support conversation all over again, as if it was my first contact with the the support group. They refuse to read any communications or details that I send, even though the detail is technically useful. As well, with each communication (email), the original thread of conversation is deleted.
I suspect that there are no real people working in the Skype support organization, just automated robots. If I'm wrong about this, and there are live people somewhere, lookup this ticket number, and get in touch with me: SRX1278630595ID.
I suppose I will just wait for the credit card charge attempt to fail, and let my subscription lapse. I'll just use other services instead.

Why won't my facetime ring when I get a call
I can not tell when someone is trying to facetime. My ringtone doesn't work correctly.
Do you have sounds turned on for these types of notifications? Also, if you have notifications turned on, do the sounds show up in the Notifications settings area for the particular apps?

Why won't my phone ring when it is charging?
It vibrates but won't ring...
Are you SURE that you're using the charger that came with the iPod? The iPod and iPhone chargers are too weak.

I'm calling from Australia to the USA. The no. dials and then hangs up shortly afterwards, this doesn't happen when I try to call other USA no.s in other area codes. I'm trying to call a number with the area code 425
Best then is to look at article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367
Also could be a local network restriction, have a look http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245
Good Luck. -
Why won't Skype(Microsoft) get rid of ChatAndVisio...
Everybody loves Skype and the product is getting to the point where it's becoming a viable alternative to conventional phones. Well, now try buying a desktop phone. Only ChatAndVision offers them and as you can read from other posts here the company is a total scam. Their web site is so poor, their support so inexistent and the quality of their communication so low that I feel like I'm doing something illegal as I try to buy something from them. Now, businesses like this are all over the place. What really shocks me is that a company the size of Microsoft would allow one of their brands to be associated with this. My hope with my post is that someone at Skype would read this and do SOMETHING about this absurd situation.
In answer to your question, it is MS putting profit before service & quality. Think about the windows releases that need 'repair before functionality, BUT you still pay full price. My NEW Skype 4088 phone will not access my account, the batteries would not hold a charge, the currency shown is UK, (I'm in Australia) the gift card was two YEARS out of date, no light on the side of the Phone, Yes on the little black box. It will not hold the settings Date 06.01.1970. How old is the darned thing...

Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?
Hi Ruth:
Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
several months ago. Is there a setting I can adjust?
Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
without being diverted to voice mail.
Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
Thanks.

Why won't my camera work in Facebook video call?
Have a new MacBook Pro running Mavericks. When I tried to use the video call feature in Facebook, it told me I didn;t have the necessary java to execute the install. I downloaded the file suggested online (Java for OS X 2014-001: How to re-enable the Apple-provided Java SE 6 web plug-in and Web Start features) and the install went through. However, when I try to make a call it connects, I can see the other person's video and hear her/him but my camera does not activate (No green light. Person being called can hear me, but no picture appears for them). FaceTime works fine. Skype works fine. Google+ Hangout asks me to give permission to use camera, but hangs up. I also tried to make a FB video call in Safari and that did not work either (same problem).

Because something is wrong.
You've done well determining that there is nothing wrong with your Mac or its Apple Software.

Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?
Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?
Hey ran
Sorry to hear you are having probloms
I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
hope this helps

When on a phone call and a second call rings in you do not see who it is or given the option to answer or ignore the call. My phone did that previously. Why would this be?
My phone is doing exactly the same thing... I tried changing the language as someone else suggested but it didn't work. It is very frustrating!!

HT2417 Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate?
Have 3G Iphone model MC608LL. Why won't it switch back to ringer from vibrate? Local repair shop said it was a software issue. AT&T store said to back it up and update OS version. Did all that. The switch still won't take it off vibrate.
- How did you delete it? If you used Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings without the iPod being charged you could have completely drained the battery.
- After charging for at least half an hour try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, after the charging above, place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
