I did not set up a Skype Number!

What the heck???? Today out of the blue, without using skype or changing a single setting I suddenly start getting phonecalls - 97 of them to be exact from all over the world. In my email inbox I have an automated email thanking me for setting up my number (which I had not set up at all) and as if that wasn't bad enough, they withdrew $10 and then $25 x3 all in very quick succession on my autocharge out of my paypal account. What do i have to do to stop these calls and get my money back????

Question on charges to set up a Skype number based...

I need to set up a skype number based in Mexioc (i.e. a Mexican number) but when I go thought the process, Skype tells me that they set their numbers in Mexico using a Mexican Partner (a cable company) and they ask you to read the partner's Terms of Agreement, which I did and .... I was not clear on the following....
The skype number is $5 / month paid to Skype but the Mexican partner's agreement talks about a cost / THEIR service... Is this in adition to the $5 dollars charged by Skype?
Solved!

You don't pay the Mexican provider, you will only pay Skype. I have had a Mexico City number for several years through Skype, and have only paid Skype for that number. There are some requirements in the terms of service for the Mexican Skype Numbers where Skype forces everyone to see that agreement. Other parts of that agreement forbid the use of the Mexican number as Caller ID, so that's why Skype never allows the use of a Mexican Skype number as Caller ID when calling from Skype.
Good luck!

How can i set up my Skype Number

Can i set up my skype number to be accessible in two skype accounts and if the other skype account is not available it call gets diverted to another skype account?

Note: when I click on South Korea, takes me to a page informs me there are special requirements for South Korean Skype numbers. However, when I click on "Next" to verify I am a resident of Korea, it informs me of technical difficulties. Is any one else getting this error?

Pass codes were set and i did not set them now it will not reset, pass codes were set and i did not set them now it will not reset

my itouch has started asking for pass codes i did not set. i have used the same 4 digit pass code for many years. i was attempting to update to iso 7 when i went to reset the device i was prompted for the code. i tried my standard 4 dig. number. also my restriction setting is on also asking for a pass code. I have never used restriction setting EVER. i dont lock my device i dont sign out of mail. worry? no nothing to hide. it agrivates me that i learned that certain apps ive downloaded may be changing my settings and accessing information without my knowing. i dont mind the info leave my settings alone.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

HT1420 Why are there security questions coming up that I did not set

I wanted to buy an app from the App Store but there are security questions appearing that I did not set up so I can't answer them so I can't purchase anything

HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes. It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for. How do I get pass this dilemma?

I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes. Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them. How do I get past this to be able to purchase. I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

TS4062 my iphone 4 has mild water damage and will not sync with cable.I want to sync it over wifi to reload data I deleted during my troubleshooting, but I did not set up for wifi sync before the damage. Is there a way that this can be done now ?

My iphone 4 has mild water damage. As a result, it will not sync with it's former XP computer with the cable. I deleted the phone's data in the troubleshooting process. I want to get it back by syncing over wifi, but I did not set up this capability before the damage occured.is there another way to initiate this feature ? I can tell that they are connecting in the cloud because an app I just downloaded on the phone is showing up in itunes on the computer.

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

I just got a new mac pro and did not set up a password and now it is asking me for one? what can I do now?

What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
Absolutely not. You can create a blank password. Yes it's stupid. Yes it's unsafe. But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password. <facepalm>

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
