Ditto here, iPad 2, v5.1, talked ok this morning, upgraded a short time after, now in the db io error abyss.

No need to delete the app and reload...double-click the home button to get the icons of running applications up along the bottom and kill the Skype app. Launch Skype again and the problem should be resolved...worked for me anyway without having to reinstall.

db io error on my ipad. Why?

[lsmithster]

Awesome, sorted. Thank you. Now we just need Skype to resolve this issue for good!

I deleted the app because of the ERROR message. I reinstalled and same thing is happening again? What should I do?

[Monkeysquirrel]

betorjs,

As per my previous post, don't delete the app, just kill it by viewing the running applications (double-click the home button) and deleting the skype icon along the bottom. This will get it working for the time being and just repeat the procedure when/if the error happens again.

Hopefully Skype will release an updated app soon with a permanent fix.

If monkeysquirrel's method does not work, which it does, the other method, which is almost the same thing, will work. With Skype running and on screen, hold down the power button until the slide to turn off screen appears, letting go of the power button. Then hold down the home button until the Skype app closes and returns you to the main home screen. This is called a force quit for most iOS devices. Relaunch the Skype app and try signing in. You should have success and shouldnt run into this error as much.
