Hej
Our online number is not working when trying to call from Telia mobile phones in denmark. I have checked with Telia in Denmark and they tell us that the problem is a "prefix" that is set wrong from SKYPE's side?
Could someone at skype please help get this fixed, as some of our customers can not call us.

Hi,
I have the pretty same problem: cannot receive calls from skype (internet) on my cell phone. I went to Telenor, but they said it has something to do with skype, not with them.
Skype staff !!! Help !

keep getting "itunes not working" when trying to sync my music to my iphone4

No matter how many times I reet my password, it will not work when trying to sign intothe App Store through my iPhone4S.

What is the error that you are seeing? Try to login using another App like GameCenter or iMessage? Also try logging in to other Apps like Facebook to check if it is your Internet connection problem.

HT1430 For some unknown reason my Apple ID password does not work when trying to down load books from the IBook or Nook Apps. It also has stop work when trying to down load new Apps. Any suggestions out their???

For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps. Everything else seems to work. Any suggestions out their???

I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working. My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads. I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work. My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps. I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel. This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase. At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen. Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.

HELP!!!! Path selection tool not working.

Earlier today my path selection tool was working fine. I was able to add vectors and move them around. Now all it is doing is moving the
whole shape instead of the selected vector. I tried restarting the program, opening different projects and I even tried rebooting the PC all together. Still works the same. I dont know what happened or how to fix it. I really wanted to push out a project before 5pm CST I would be ever so grateful if someone knew how to fix this.

Hi, LarissaPryor. I'm afraid you've made a wrong turn somewhere, since Photoshop Elements has no Path Selection tool, so you must have full Photoshop. Better to ask in the appropriate Photoshop forum. For windows:

Good luck!

Why is my paintbucket tool not working?

why is my paintbucket tool not working

Although brevity is indeed the soul of wit it would be useful to include a bit more detail about the problem.
What are your mode, opacity, and tolerance settings? Try resetting the tool.

My App Store does not work when trying to update applications

My Apo store does not work when I try to update applications that need to be updated

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

InDesign-CC: Selection Tools Not Working

When I am moving quickly between tools and objects, all of a sudden the tool gets stuck on the hand tool and will not change or function. I have looked into multiple reasons. It is not prefs/cache or anything like that. I also thought maybe my wireless keyboard was the fault.
However, I think I have stumbled across something. Normally I have to restart to resolve the problem, however, again just now the problem happened as I had dragged about 10 images into the InDesign window as I quickly hit the keys to place in a grid. Bang, the problem occurred again. I hit the escape key in frustration. Nothing happened. As I have two monitors I clicked into a browser window to search to complain or find a solution or something as I am going mad!!!. However, after about 30 seconds, I decided to restart so I clicked back to InDesign only to discover the tool was back to normal and I could switch tools etc.
This makes me believe the problem is either with Mavericks (not convinced) or is an issue in CC that is very slow when performing other tasks like moving within a window whilst switching tools.
I have read so many posts with people saying its user error or something. Not true. I am a power user and fly around in InDesign. This is definitely a CC issue in my opinion, and to be honest, I wish I could get some kind of response from adobe.
In the meantime, patience is the only remedy, but it is slowing me down, and time is money… which I am losing.
Any one have a constructive response?@

Hi Cristoph,
You have mentioned two issues above.
The first is of the selection issue. I acknowledge that this issue is present in InDesign CC and is one that the InDesign team is investigating. It is already mentioned above that this issue is one that the ID team has been able to reproduce.
The other issue is
Another example of a CC-Bug: whenever you open InDesign, the menu-palettes (e.g. that for color-selection, text, paragraph...) are closed. So why the hell is that? If I want to change something I have to reopen the referring palette. There is no reason for this delay of the working process.
This is the issue for which i was trying to gain more information as to why you are facing this issue. I dont think this one line of information is enough to figure out why you are facing the problem. I tried this on my machine with the given information and it seems to work, upon restart of InDesign the palettes that were earlier open remain opened.
This is NOT a known issue and is one that i would like to gain more info about and it is with respect to this issue that i mentioned that you try cleaning the prefs and caches.
If you still happen to be facing the issue(after cleaning the prefs\cache) i would suggest that you report the issue via the link
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Or you can mail the issue at [email protected]
Please note that simply writing one line in the information will not be of much help, until the ID team is able to reproduce the issue there is no point that they will be able to fix it.
Thanks

Perspective Selection Tool not working

I can't figure out why the selection tool won't work. When active, I can't grab an object to move it and the icon next to the selection arrow is a line with an arrow pointing to the left, like this
<–|
Any suggestions?

That is normal and the correct icon, showing you are on the left plane. Is your item locked or on a locked layer, or in a mask? Watch the appearance paeltte to tell you what type of selection you have.
Try drawing a new rectangle as a test to see what is working and what is not.
With the Perspective Selection tool, the active planes in the perspective grid are indicated by the following pointers.
Left Grid Plane
Right Grid Plane
Horizontal Grid Plane
The keyboard shortcuts 1, 2, 3 switch you between planes

Selection tool not working... please help

I am using Illustrator CS 5.1 and the selection tool has stopped working.
It lets me select the object, but when I go to drag it I get an error sound and it won't move. No error message appears so I'm not sure what is wrong.
I've tried locking and unlocking all objects, and opening previously working files, but all now have this same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've got a coursework deadline due next monday...
Thanks in advance.

Common accident.
Precisely because it seems to be such a common accident (because B and H are too close to G on the keyboard) it's not a bad idea to redistribute your keyboard shortcuts. So if you think you are Grouping and accidentally hit Cmd+B or Cmd+H you won't get into trouble.
I have redistributed a lot of mine. Things like Cmd+U for Ungroup (of course) and Cmd+Shift+G for Smart Guides, Cmd+L for Average (like it was in the old days) and that sort of thing. Keep more complex 3-key combinations for more seldom used commands and remember that a lot of commands are used so seldom that you go to the menu for them anyway.
If you find some of the default keyboard shortcuts illogical or difficult to remember, just change them. It will make save you a lot of frustration in the long run. One sometimes wonders why so many of the commonly used keyboard commands were made more complicated in newer versions of Illie. Personally I can see no good reason for it.

Text select tool not working properly

When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

Selections tools not working properly in Photoshop CC 2014

Just installed Photoshop CC 2014. For some reason I cannot get my quick selection tool and quick mask to work properly. I can make a selection but when I try to make a mask I get all kinds of artifacting going on. I try to use quick select to clean up the artifacting to no avail, in fact I start to get different artifacting in the selection that cannot be removed by the brush tool. HELP. To bad I uninstalled Photoshop CC. Can I reinstall Photoshop CC somehow? Anybody out there with the same problems? The focus area will not work also?

At this moment, I have tried : Reset the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File" (When you open Photoshop, push "option + command + shift" for Apple).
Not ok.

Magic Quick Selection Tool NOT working right. Help please?

We've used the magic quick selection tool lots and most of the time it works well.
It's very slow.............. v e r y slow and I'm wondering if there's a patch to download from Adobe or
what to do to fix this. We have pictures to edit and it's making the editing torture. Please help?
Thank you so much. tkccvalentine

It's the Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop Elements 9 and I'm trying to get the background and make it another layer so I can even out the color of the background then bring down the transparency. Not sure if that makes sense. I'm new to this.... Sometimes the area it will grab can go ...not fast.. but not slow. Sometimes it's like it's just messed up and literally takes 30 seconds to process each move. I rebooted my computer and re opened it and it helped a little. It's not clear what causes it when it messes up and when it doesn't. Just frustrating. It's probably user error because I'm so new at Photoshop. Thanks for your input. I really appreciate it.

Selection tool not working and cannot select layers

Just loaded up cs5 w/ indesign and tried to start using indesign. To my dismay the selection tool and the layers will not high light when pointed to or work when clicked upon. these are the only tool i've found not to be working so far.

Are you using Windows 7, if so, see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)
If not, what is the OS, and what language is the installation of ID?

Why is my selection tool not working when trying to rotate or scale?
