Skype out on Mac bad quality after update to Version 7.9 (746)

Hey, I've been using skype out on a subscription calling from US to US or Canada, for over 2 years now. After the latest update (on 7/1 I believe) skype out on my computer became unusable... everyone complains that they can't hear me properly. But when I call the same person with my cell phone(on the same WIFI) they hear me perfectly... same headphones too. Anyone else dealing with this? I'm thinking of cancelling my skype subscription and getting an unlimited Canada/USA cell phone package! regards, 

Wow, lots of replys so fast, sorry i took so long to get back to you all.
Well thanks for the welcome.
When I say "grayed out" i mean that the botton is there but faded.. get me? Its like an option that is no longer available. e.g. while going thru normal options like FILE or EDIT and the like the options that are not available are "grayed out" or faded. And yes I am using Software Update from the blue Apple menu.
I am not well versed with the Mac, it's my girlfriend's Mac, I know a bit about it but I try not to mess with it too much.
I didnt know that I was able to update any other way (System Preferences > Software Update > Update Software) I will try this and see what I can find. But I would guess that all those settings are at DEFAULT.Is there an option to make it look for updates automatically on a set date/time or everyday/week/month? I was only trying to update recently cuz I heard that some Mac viruses were loose and I want to update her Mac. I hope to get this fixed soon.

    Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer  and I have a new warranty from today.
    We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
    Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
    Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else.  One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?

  • When i transfer an photoshop image in Indesign, this one come out in very bad quality and pixelise even once print

    Hello,
    I have an issu, every image i bring or change trough Photoshop CS6 and transfer to Indesign CS6 or Illustrator CS6 comes out in very bad quality and very pixelated whyle printed.
    The original image in photoshop is 29x32 cm with 300 ppp.
    When i transfer in Indesign, i have to reduce the site via the adjustment button and it comes in terrible quality.
    It never happen before, its just recently, and i didn't change my way to save or the properties of my Photoshop, so if someone can help me to resolve this problem, i will be glad.
    Regards,
    Marie

    Before I should save the image as a PSD (without Clipping Mask and dont flatten the image). the print would come out different colours...not the same.
    Are you saying the printer can't get a .PSD to output, or a PSD's color is unpredictable? Sounds like your printer can print .PSDs, but you  have a color management problem. By different colors do you mean that the printed CMYK color values are different than what was in the placed PSD? If that's the case it may be that the PSD had a profile that conflicted with the InDesign document profile and you are getting unexpected color conversions somewhere in the workflow.

  • Nothing works after updating to version 15

    After updating to version 15 nothing will load. I can't open any webpage or even connect to my router via Firefox.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

    Hello. After updating to version 7.0.2 was not on the phone face time application why?

    If your phone was originally sold in KSA or UAE, facetime is permanently removed from it. If you are in one of those countries, and your friends have facetime on their phones, then they were originally sold in a different country.

  • Nano quit working after update to version 1.2

    Brand new nano quit working after update to version 1.2 It worked fine before. My computer see usb storage device but doesn't recognise ipod. ipod updater that worked to let me update doesnt regonise nano either. I returned to store where I bought it, got a new one, brought it home, ran updater again now it the new one is doing the same thing. What gives? I have never had a problem in the past with updater. Is there any way to take it back to version 1.1 since 1.2 doesn't work?

    This fix came from Caspar (Thank you SOOO much!). It took me 10 minutes to do this and now my beloved ipod nano is back! Hopefully this will help some of you:
    Original Problem: Updated iTunes(6.0.5) and iPod nano (1.2). After the update, iTunes would not recognize my iPod and therefore would not let me remove the iPod from my computer, which seems to be the problem most people are having.
    The Fix:
    *uninstall iTunes, iPod, and any updates (make sure anything related to these two programs are not on your computer)
    *Open Control Panel
    *Click the "switch to classic view" link, if
    necessary
    *Double click "administrative tools"
    *Double click "computer management"
    *Under "storage" click on "disk management"
    *Find your iPod's listing
    *Right-click on it and click "format"
    *Select "FAT32" and start the format
    *After reformatting, remove iPod from computer
    *Download iTunes directly from the Apple website (I didn't restart my computer at the prompt)
    *Download 6/28/06 update for iPod (do NOT plug iPod in before doing this!)
    *Open update for iPod and wait until prompt to plug iPod in (do not plug in early)
    *Wait for the update....and there ya have it!!
    Hopefully this will help some people, as I have spent the past 2 weeks doing the 5R's thing. After completing the steps above, I haven't had a problem with my iPod..and now my Nike+ works!! Thanks again, Caspar...you're a genius!!
    p.s. if this helps, please repost this message to others who have the same problem as we do...

  • Infragistics UltraWebListbar was working fine with the earlier version of the firfox. But it crashes after updating to version 12.

    I am using infragistics UltraWebListbar to display list of menu in one of my page.
    It was working fine with the earlier version of the firfox. But it crashes after updating to version 12.
    Following are the few details from the stack trace
    System.Convert.ToInt32(String value) +63

    It's a third-party application, ask Infragistics support board. Maybe they have a fix or a dev version to fix your issue.

    First it would be helpful to get more info. Do you keep your music in the default location inside the iTunes folder? Do you use iTunes to keep it organized? Do you have any type of backup of either the iTunes Library files or your entire Music folder? Before reinstalling anything, check that your actual music files are still there. Go to your_homefolder/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music and I am pretty sure that all your files are still there. iTunes keeps its library file on the root level of the iTunes folder. It is either corrupted or you somehow created a new one which subsequently is empty. Hold down the option while you click on iTunes, then choose "existing library" and browse to your iTunes folder and select the iTunes Library file and see what happens. Report back if your iTunes Library file is corrupt.
