Can't See All my Contacts when logging in Windows after using it for years on Mac

Hi,

 

I was using Skype in Mac 10.6.8. Today while my skype was on in Mac I also logged in with it in Windows computer (I had just installed skype in windows and logged in for the first time).

 

Then I did not delete any contact by myself, but I don't know what has happened a LOT Of my contacts have got deleted and I can't see them anymore.
I tried adding a couple of them and on asking them if they got a friend request from me again they say they were still able to see me in their list, and didn't even get a new contact request again.

 

I don't know what has happened.

 

I used to have total around 350-500 contacts in my list, I see only 140 now.
Also some 80-90 people were opened in my skype chat window, here I used to keep people I used to talk most of the times (I am talking about how I used to use Skype in my MAC) and whenever they used to be online I used to see them online, rest of the time I used to see a 'X' offline sign. But right now I am seeing most of them as '?' Question mark sign i.e not in my list. Then I right click on them and click on "Add to Contacts" and I get a window of saying send contact request but actually no contact request is sent and I am able to see them back in my list showing online (and also when I ask to that person if they got a friend request they say they didn't got any friend request from me, and I was in their list before also).

 

But some people who had deleted me in past but are still in my Skype Chat Window when I right click on their name it shows "Send Contact Request".
So I think you must be having some kind of contact list on your server which you should update again, I don't know what has happened.. I am freaked out right now.. all my contacts were sooo much important and all were business contacts and I cannot afford at all to lose them.

 

Please do something and get them back for me.


Thanks

Re: Can't See All my Contacts when logging in Windows after using it for years on Mac

have spent ages trying to post my problem so apologies if this the wrong place.....have just changed from a dell to mac and can only see about 40 of my contacts on my call list instead of the 80 odd I have. I have my old pc open with them all displayed. Why can I not see them on the mac. Likewise, going a bit mad with this.
