Re: DB_IO_ERROR

Skype has acknowledge this problem and is working on a fix:

In the mean time, a few users have reported that doing a complete reboot has worked on their iPads.  Maybe that would work on your iPod as well.

Re: DB_IO_ERROR

I have the same problem. I delete the application and reinstalling it. It is a pain, but so far it works.

Re: DB_IO_ERROR

On Sunday, I think, I was able to log in one time without "the message". Now we are back to the same old thing. When is Skype going to handle this, and correct the problem?

Re: DB_IO_ERROR

Hi , found another solution ... Ask somebody to skype call you .. Than do log in. After that with me no problems anymore. Good lick, let me know if it works with you.

Re: DB_IO_ERROR

To G6: please reply back if the following solution works for your current iPod device: 1.) hold down the iPod sleep button until the slide to turn off screen appears. 2.) let go of the button and hold down the home button until the Skype app closes and returns you to the home screen. 3.) relaunch Skype app and try logging in. I this method works, I will add it to the number of devices this method will take care of the DB io error, although it is not a pminant fix.

Re: DB_IO_ERROR

To ipad3bennie: your solution makes me think the DB io error is caused by a failed Skype call Ora Skype call that didn't close properly, making the server keeping you signed in when you really aren't. Thanks for this, I will continue doing trial and errors with this new information.
