All of a sudden, call phones stopped working and I...

This is ridiculous! Skype call to phones is no longer working and Skype does not provide either a phone number to call, an email, or live chat support to resolve the problem.
There is no explanation to the problem. It simply stopped working: you type in the number, click "Call" and ... nothing happens!
I tried upgrading to the latest Skype version (or as they say "Improve my Skype experience") and nothing... still not working.
If others are experiencing this I wonder if we could ask regulatory authorities in the US to take action against Skype for fraud, as they charge for a service that they don't provide.

You've left out some very basic information: iMac model  and Mac OS version.
There are four broad familues of iMac going back to 1998, and they have different troubeshooting procedures. Please do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu to see your OSX version, While there tell what the same window says for "Processor." That will at least narrow your model to its family.

    All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
    1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
    and
    2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
    Thanks

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • I have an Airport Extreme as my wifi hub and an Airport Express to beam music. All of a sudden the Express stopped working and I get the error message "this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station".  All my software is up to date and

    I have a WiFi system in the house that uses the Airport Extreme for a hub and an older Express for sending music from my Mac to my sound system. Everything worked great till yesterday. When I go to Networks I see the Extreme and I see the Express but the Express is no longer connected and I get an error message "this version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station".  Any ideas?

    This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
    To check and see if  that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
    Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
    You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

  • Good morning...all of a sudden my email stopped working and the screen displayed nothing at all.

    I tried to log out but it said to try again quit mail and choose log out from the apple menu.  I went to quit mail but it was faded out and I could not click on it.  I then went to the task bar at the bottom and tried to click on mail but nothing happened.  I also turned off my computer and turned it back on again, email still not available.  This just seems to be on my iMac.  I am receiving email messages on my iPhone and iPad.  Oh, Safari still works on my iMac!!
    Help.....

    I have an iphone and i was sending a multimedia message and all of a sudden the phone turned off and will not turn back on. We have been charging it for almost half an hour or more and it still hasn't turned on. How do we fix it?

    Wine, were you charging over the USB Connection or AC Power?  We've found in our organization that at times not enough power is generated over USB to recharge it in situations like this...I quote from the email of a fellow technician that i just received today...
    I’ve had a couple of users up here bring their iPhones to me so dead that the phone was unresponsive, no matter what we did. One thing that many people do not realize is that the iPhone (iOS devices in general) have power management in them. The power management appears to be set up so that the device will not power on at all until the battery is at a certain minimum level. If the user will plug the device into the power adapter, not a USB port on a computer (laptops especially), and leave it for about an hour, maybe longer, the device will come back to life.
    The reason I say they have to use the power adapter is because the USB port is not high enough power to bring the charge up fast enough for the battery to come back out of “hibernation”. 
    Each time I have had the users do the power adapter plug in, and leave it for a couple of hours, the devices have come back to life
    Hope this helps

  • My I-Phone stopped working and won't reopen

    All of a sudden, it just stopped and will nor re-open, is there anything I need to do

    Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My phone stopped working and i can't turn it on. I want to know if it can be replaced for free because it's still in warranty!

    Hi, I was wondering what is the warranty policy. A year ago I was using Iphnone 4 s and the camera stopped working and the carier gave me a new.
    I couple of month ago I bought Iphone 5 and yesterday it just stopped working.
    My question is want ca I do now? Do I need to go in an Apple store or in the office of the mobile carier I'm using.
    Thank you

    Type the S/N here and see if it is indeed covered for you: https://getsupport.apple.com/ProductSelector.action  If yes, take it directly to Apple and avoid a runaround. If there's any issue with coverage or any other sh*t, take it to the carrier and let them deal with it, although it will probably take longer to sort out (but you may get lucky and be handed a refurbished unit right off the bat).
    If possible try connecting it to a computer running iTunes to see if it shows up. That way you can back it up and save its contents for restoring onto whatever new device you get.

  • All of a sudden my iPod stopped playing and a dark gray Apple logo came up.

    I was listening to my iPod nano for about 30 minutes but 20 minutes into playing, it all of a sudden stopped and an Apple logo against a dark gray background popped up. I held down the center and menu button to perform a reset and it has been working fine ever since but I am worried that this might signal a premature death to my iPod.
    What caused this? I never fiddled with any menus or buttons while playing my music so it didn't occur by me inputting anything. What does that screen mean? I've had my iPod for 3 months and always listen to it in one hour intervals (since I commute to work in the city) and this never happened before.

    Some people have told me something similar a few years ago... they said that they didn't do anything for a few days then their iPods resurrected (lol)... don't know if this can happen to these new iPods too, I haven't experienced this. So you should wait for a few (4-5 days) and if nothing happens then bring it back to the shop.

  • All of a sudden, AeX wireless stopped working

    Hi All-
    Last night I was moving around some cables and momentarily had to unplug the ethernet cable going to my Airport Express. Here is the setup:
    WWW->cablemodem->nic1-linuxrouter/firewall
    |>nic2-linuxrouter/firewall4ptswitchAeX
    I have 2 wireless clients:
    PB 15" w/ OSX.4.3
    Windows XP SP2
    All has been working great for over a year now. Since unplugging and replugging in the ethernet cable to AeX, my AeX no longer seems to be working as a wireless device. The light is solid green, but the wireless SID does not show up under my list of available networks for either client machine.
    I saved my baseconfig profile and I have tried a soft-reset as well as a hard-reset, reuploading the baseconfig to try to get it to work. The only way I can access the AeX is via a hardwire ethernet connection to either the switch or the AeX directly.
    Does anybody have any ideas why the wireless no longer seems to be working just by unplugging and replugging in the ethernet cable? Wireless settings are properly enabled.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Unplug and leave for ten minutes (or overnight) before plugging back in.
