A Bit of an Odd Problem (Help Appreciated)

Or at least I assume this is the problem...
I have windows 8 and Skype came as an app on my laptop; that's fine, it worked really well. But several weeks ago I bought a Student edition of MS Office 365 and installed it on my laptop, and the package said that a skype account was needed (or something like that, I think because you needed a microsoft account), and I was like "Okay that's fine".
When activing Office account it required a microsoft sign in, and while trying to sign in, what I thought was my account didn't work so I though that I was mistaken (didn't make the connection between MS and Skype at that moment) and that I didn't have one. Now the Student edition only works if you prove you're a student, so I used my college email when signing up for a microsoft account.
And next thing I know my skype is screwed up. Not just that it won't connect, but it won't call anyone, I can't answer incoming calls, and (going by the sounds) it doesn't know whether I'm signed on or trying to call someone.
I think the problem is that it's registering two different accounts and doesn't know which one to go with - the one already set up on the laptop, or the one MS Office 365 is supposed to be signed in?
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do? I'm afraid of uninstalling it incase that messes up my other apps (since this laptop came with Skype installed as an app), even if I re-installed it. I was also thinking about leaving it and just not touching it, while installing Skype on the desktop... but how much confusion could that cause?
I could really use some help with this.

you need to contact skype support (this is just a user forum)
log on to the skype webpage on a computer
klick help
scroll down
klick "get more help" almost at the bottom
there you'll find how to get in touch with them

MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-85J Problem, help appreciated

I have been trying to burn an I Movie through I DVD on the Matshita DVD-R UJ-85J. The program seems to work correctly until right at the last minute. The burning process gets to Multiplexing and burning and suddenly the disc ejects and says done. The disc when reinserted still is blank. I am fairly new at this and was wondering if I am doing something wrong or is their a problem with my drive? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I too am having a similar problem. Whenever I burn a Memorex DVD-R through my drive, SimplyBurns stops the operation immediately, saying "disc not writable." I read somewhere that resetting PRAM fixes some problems; that didn't work. Furthermore, here is what System Profiler reports:

Moving iTunes Problem(help appreciated)

Ok. My computer's disk space was almost full, so I bought an external hard drive and simply cut and pasted the iTunes folder on my computer. I then simply added all the files(from the external hard drive) into iTunes. The problem is that it's registering this library as a new one and I have to erase and sync. Is there anyway to undo what I've done? Help is much appreciated !!

Green - Home Lab Setup problem - Help Appreciated

Below you will find my config for a 2520 Router and an AS2509-RJ. I am attempting to reverse telnet from my AS to 2520. However when I try this I end up telnetting back to the AS. (Very confusing, but confirmed as the only password accepted is test1.)

So, now we're sure the connection is broken. Let's analyze the problem this way.
There are 3 components in this connection:
1.The 2520's console port
2.rollover cable
3.The 2509's line ports
If one of the above components have any problem, it will cause a broken connection.
First let's check the 2520's console port. Can you login to the 2520 by directly conecting the console port to your PC? If so, this can be excluded from being a probable cause.
Second, change the rollover cable. Is it improved then? If so, the rollover cable you were using is bad. If not, the rollover cable can be likely excluded from being the probable cause.(One possibility is that all the rollver you have are bad, but not likely)
Third, plug your rollover cable to line 2, then type "telnet 10.101.1.1 2002", and see whether you can login to the 2520. If not, repeat the process on line 3, line4 ,...,and line 8.
If all the 8 lines cannot be used, there is the last chance. Remember your aux port? It's your line 9. Before repeat the above process, add some command lines in your confiuration:
line aux 0
no exec
transport preffered telnet
then type "telnet 10.101.1.1 2009
Good lucks

Very unusual LCD display problem, help appreciated

First post, I want to thank anyone who can help me in advance. I just took over my sister's MBP Unibody, and she has been having an issue where there is about a 1.5 inch wide strip of complete distortion on the left hand side of the screen. Everything in that strip is completely color distorted with constant screen tearing and flickering. I suspect there is something wrong with a wire in the lcd screen, as this problem only starts after using the computer for 15 minutes, and goes away initially by tapping the screen or adjusting the screen. After about half an hour of use however, it does not go away. In a completely unrelated incident, the glass panel cracked yesterday (This problem has been going on for about a month and a half), and i ordered a replacement, so I will be "under the hood" on Thursday. If anyone has any recommendations of what I might do to try to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it.
3 pictures of my screen:

Well its 70 dollars vs 600 dollars and it wasn't me who bought the applecare. And I would gladly bring it in to an apple technician instead, however my only problem with that is its not like they can just take off the glass, take a look at it and then tell me how much it costs. i mean the glass is shattered, you take it off and its going to be in pieces. Likewise, they very well might say that they can't do anything about it because the broken glass is clearly accidental damage and immediately attribute it to the lcd problem even though it has nothing to do with it. If the glass wasn't broken, I would never have even posted and immediately taken it to the apple store. Please, tell me I'm wrong and I will take it to them right away to tell me exactly why the screen is the way it is, and it will probably be covered seeing how it started out of no where. My understanding of apples policy however is that with the glass cracked as it is, they will have no choice but to immediately charge me for a full repair. But like I said, if I'm wrong please tell me and I'll take it in tomorrow

Color Saturation Problem (help appreciated!)

Hi.
I'm in Spain and making DVD's from footage shot on NTSC cameras (a bad idea in the first place, I know).
At the moment I have no way of verifying my results on an NTSC tv, so.... My question is that the majority (but strangely, not quite all) of the DVD's I've produced, when watched on a normal PAL television, have EXTREMELY over-saturated colors. They are so saturated that they're flattened and bleedy so that subtle textures aren't discernible.
Aside from that, the image appears stuttery and jumpy. This makes sense to me, being an NTSC DVD on a PAL tv, but should the COLORS be so drastically affected also?
I've done five project here. 4 of them look stuttery and with bad colors, but 1 of them looks fine. This is the mystery. Is there some encoding setting that I'm overlooking that can reduce the problem?? Is this a normal symptom of NTSC seen on PAL equipment?
I've tried on various different PAL tv's and players. no change.
(this problem occurs with both 24p and regular NTSC footage. I use DVDSP4 and FCP4)
THanks for your time!!

Difficult problem, help appreciated.

Hi,
I have the following tables:
1.assessments
2.meters
3.meter_readings
assessment : meters = 1:M
meters : meter_readings = 1:M
Now, I need to calculate "meter usage" which is a sum of a usage field in meter_readings for certain period for each meter, and "assessment usage", which is the sum of those "meter usages" for the each assessment.
So I would like to have something like:
assess_num meter max_date m_usage a_usage
1 1A 1/1/00 100 160
1B 3/1/00 50 160
1C 4/1/00 10 160
2 2A 5/1/00 12 32
2B 6/1/00 20 32
Now, in disco admin, I have done the following:
1. On the meter readings folder, created
- max date on date item
2. Joined assessments folder with meters folder based on meter ID.
These 2 steps will give me everything up to meter_usage.
I'm wondering how I can get the assessment usage. I tried using a function that takes in assessment number in the workbook, but it altered the meter_usage figures and gives unexpected/wrong assessment_usage figures whenever the function is used.

I figured out a work around but it would be nice to display GROUP Calendars via anonymous. The workaround is to create a calid (useranem) for every calendar you want to group together. Then on ww command line you can call or calids that you want grouped and it will group them into one calendar ie. http://mycalendar.com/command.shtml?calid=username1;username2;userndame3;username4&view=weekview

Well, the simplest way to do this would be:
public class MyClass extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
     String buttonName = request.getParameter("myButtonRequestVariable");
     if ("update".equals(buttonName)) {
           request.getRequestDispatcher("UpdateToCompAccount.jhtml").
                         forward(request, response)
         } else if ("delete".equals(buttonName)) {
              request.getRequestDispatcher("DeleteCompAccount.jhtml").
                        forward(request, response)
         } else {
              request.getRequestDispatcher("ErrorPage.jhtml").
                  forward(request, response)
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
} But that can get unwieldy if you've loads of buttons. Have you studied the concept of Model View Controller (MVC)?

Sql problem - help appreciated!

I have two tables, report_t and report_details_t.
report_t has the following structure
reportId fiscalYear
============
1 2007
2 2008
Report_details_T
reportID fund_type fund_value
========================
1 direct 40
1 indirect 20
2 direct 30
2 direct 5
I am trying to generate a report using just SQL statment, the result will look like this
report_id fund_type, 2007_fund_value, 2008_fund_value
====================================
1 direct 40 0
1 indirect 20 0
2 direct 0 30
2 indirect 0 5
Is there any way achieving it?
Thanks in advance.

ah, ok - and was there a typo in your original set of data for the report_details_t table? there are two rows for direct for fiscal year id = 2, but one has morphed into indirect in your results.
Assuming there was a typo:
with    report_t as (select 1 reportid, 2007 fiscalyear from dual union all
                     select 2 reportid, 2008 fiscalyear from dual),
report_details_t as (select 1 reportid, 'direct' fundtype, 40 fund_value from dual union all
                     select 1 reportid, 'indirect' fundtype, 20 fund_value from dual union all
                     select 2 reportid, 'direct' fundtype, 30 fund_value from dual union all
                     select 2 reportid, 'indirect' fundtype, 5 fund_value from dual)
-- end of mimicking your data: USE SQL below:
select rdt.reportid,
       rdt.fundtype,
       decode(rt.reportid, 1, rdt.fund_value, 0) "2007_FUND_VALUE",
       decode(rt.reportid, 2, rdt.fund_value, 0) "2008_FUND_VALUE"
from   report_t rt,
       report_details_t rdt
where rt.reportid = rdt.reportid;
REPORTID FUNDTYPE 2007_FUND_VALUE 2008_FUND_VALUE
         1 direct                40               0
         1 indirect              20               0
         2 direct                 0              30
         2 indirect               0               5Edited by: Boneist on 30-Mar-2009 15:00

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Any help appreciated - iTune compression problems

Hi there,
Just bought a second hand iPhone 3g yesterday that has to last me out 5 months before my contract is up and I can hopefully get a 5 if it's out (touchwood).
Transferred some music from iTunes to my iPhone and on the phone speakers it sounds fine, however when I put my headphones into the jack it's incredibly distorted and sounds like it's suffered far too much compression.
I'm guessing this is possibly a headphone jack related problem as opposed to a compression issue? Tried converting files to AAC but made no difference
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Dan

FYI - the iPhone includes a single external speaker. The opposite grill that appears the same is a microphone.
If this were a compression or format issue, the same would occur when playing the music via the speaker. Using earbuds has no affect on the compression or format. More than likely this is a headphone jack related problem or there could be a problem with the earbuds being used.

Does anyone know if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and the 4s. I use my 4 with no problems but have issues with the 5 - makes me feel ill. Any help appreciated before I make an expensive mistake

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and 4s. It appears they are the same from the specs but I dont want to make an expensive mistake. I can use the 4 with no problems but the 5 makes me feel ill and I am hoping I can upgrade to a 4s with no issues. Any help appreciated.

In a technical sense, the differences between the displays on the iPhone 4 vs 4s are vast. I'm mean, they are both attached to 70 - 90% of the internal components and far from interchangeable. There are no differences however, that are noticeable by the user.

OCCI VS2005 InstantClient 11_1_0_7 - really close, help appreciated

OK, I have an OCCI app written in VC++8 (DevStudio 2005).
I have downloaded InstantClient 11_1_0_7 Basic plus the SDK.
The program compiles and links, and I am linking against the oraocci11.lib in instantclient_11_1/sdk/lib/msvc/vc8
Note that with this version of the SDK, there is no "debug" version of oraocci11.lib, as there was under 10_3, so I am using the
same one for Release and Debug. For the Debug build, I exclude msvcrt.lib from the default link libraries.
I copy oci.dll, orannzsbb11.dll, and oraocci11.dll from the top-level instantclient directory to the directory with my executable.
Now, if I take the oraocci11.dll from the top-level instantclient directory, and use it, my program runs, and it can createEnvironment,
but then I get the error ORA-24960: the attribute OCI_ATTR_USERNAME is greater than the maximum allowable length of 255.
Searching around suggests that I'm using the wrong DLLs (VC++7) when I get this error.
If I instead take the oraocci11.dll and oraocci11.dll.manifest from the instantclient_11_1/vc8 directory, the program will not start,
I get a Runtime Error R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
I get the same errors on the Release and Debug builds.
Any help appreciated!

They say "Using a 32bit DG4ODBC on a 64bit Windows operating system is NOT certified." but we do it extensively and it works just fine. You need to install a 32-bit home and create a listener for the 32-bit gateway. Only downside (aside from maintaining 2 homes) is that if you need to file an SR, you must prove that you're able to reproduce the problem when the gateway is running on a 32-bit OS. We keep a little 32-bit server around for this purpose and point our gateways to that box to reproduce issues for SR's.
If you want to run "certified" all the time, you could leave the gateways running in Production on a 32-bit OS, but it runs considerably slower this way, and all because Oracle won't support your SR's. You have to decide if you really think you'll hit an issue that wouldn't reproduce on the true 32-bit OS and decide if it's worth the risk. We've made our decision...
Good luck!

Struts: Odd problem with ActionErrors and NullPointerException

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Struts, and I'm trying to set up a relatively simple application. I've been running into this problem when trying to validate an ActionForm through the validate() method.
The validate method call is very simple:
public ActionErrors validate(
          ActionMapping mapping,
          HttpServletRequest request) {
          ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
          if (!firstName.equals("foo")) {
               errors.add("firstName", new ActionError("error.firstName"));
          return errors;
     }My problem is that whenever the if-statement evaluates to true, a NullPointerException is thrown when the errors.add() call is excecuted. It seems to me that the problem must somehow be related to the ActionErrors object being null and the add() call failing. However, I have a hard time seeing how this could be the case. Other examples I have looked at seem set up the validate method in the exact same way.
Now, I have verified and tested the following:
* the if-statement evaluates properly, meaning that the firstName field is not null
* the message resource bundle is available, so it couldn't be that it's related to the property not being found in the bundle
This might be something simple, but I am a bit stumped here, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, never mind. I just replaced the call to the super constructor with a plain ActionErrors constructor, and then everything worked. Hmmm... so much for blindly copying code you're not entirely sure you understand :)

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.
