ARD fails to do things that I ask it to do...
Today we got a new Canon printer that requires the installation of a driver and a network utility on all 18 of our imacs (OSX 10.5)
First I tried to do a remote install with ARD. It reported that 5 had succeeded in just a few minutes and the rest were "available" but nothing was happening after 30 minutes. Of the 5 that reported success, none actually had the drivers installed...
I then tried just to copy the two install packages to the remote Administrator's desktop using the ARD "Copy" command. This resulted in only 4 "successes" and 14 failures. Again, of the successes, none of the files actually made it to the administrator's desktop (I used the "copy to same location" method with ARD.
Finally, I went over to manually install the drivers on each imac one-by-one. The first two installations were a success. The third got hung up on the installation of the driver and the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th got hung up when trying to add the printer after the driver was installed.
Net result, total loss of confidence in ARD and iMacs. Can anyone explain why any of the above happened? Re-imaging all of the failed machines is not what I'm hoping for as a solution...
Does your carrier support tethering?
Have you subscribed to a supplemental data plan that includes tethering?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)

The Nokia E51: The things that work, and the thing...
Wonderful phone. Let me list my accomplishments and outstanding challenges.
Challenges
* Finding a video player that will play common formats like xVid in LANDSCAPE format. I did find a free app that will download and play anything on Youtube, but again not landscape.
* Need to find a video recorder that records with a better frame rate. Is there one?
* SIP voip calls remain a challenge.. Not sure if the issue is NAT traversal or that I just have the settings wrong or that the issue is the voip/sip provider.. Have been able to get Gizmovoip to work, BUT call quality to land lines is less than I get on Skype-Out (using Fring). With VoipBuster it seems to connect to the service, but when making a call it just sits there without response or connecting or anything else happening. So would still like to do smooth, cheap and reliable SIP.. Any thoughts on providers? Needs to be cheap (or free) to USA, Holland and Thaland.
* Built in Web browser sometimes crashes (vanishes). Sometimes even just after opening it up and looking at the bookmark list, or shortly after opening a basic page like Google or BBC News PDA.
* How to change the user-agent of this web browser.. Some sites are determined to present me their 'light' version. People: "Light" is not good when it comes to WiFi phones, or beer. So need to change the user-agent that the browser presents. Opera Mini goes some way to reduce the problem; excellent little browser that, and the best to use when your connection isn't WiFi (and/or not free/unlimited or slow)
* How to select and copy (to paste elsewhere) text from a web page? Would like for example to be able to use the edit key (#) and drag & select the mouse pointer.
* Nimbuzz is a free program that allows you to chat to MSN, Yahoo Chat (etc, etc) AND Skype chat. It's weird on this phone though, sometimes it just does't start when I try to open it. Can use Fring of course, but the chat function in Nimbuzz is better. Also think Nimbuzz leaks less GPRS bytes in overhead, which is nice when paying by the kilo/megabyte.
* Need to find a Calendar & Todo GTD type program that kicks **bleep**, rather than sucks it.
* Some good games would be nice. Suggestions? Would love a good pinball or other simple yet addictive arcade stuff. I loved the old Nokia 9 Ball Pool as well
* Standby screen sometimes flashes/flickers. It seems it's updating something, but the effect is annoying. It's not a hardware glitch, the background wallpaper remains visible. it's just the Standby items that briefly blink.
* My phone has English and Thai as languages. I *NEED* Dutch T9. Why is finding & adding a couple more languages as hard as the Quest for the Holy Grail? Come ON..
* You can really feel the phone heating up when it's working hard, just as with a Skype-Out call.. I'm not suffering burns or anything, but is that normal?
* On S60 v2 you could go into 'Applications' and set that certain applications were allowed to access the internet. Options included 'always allow', 'ask every time' and 'ask first time'. Where did that go? Some apps have a habit of asking to connect a couple times. I want to just allow them access. (Or ideally, access only when connected to a particular access point or access point group.)
Accomplishments (SOLVED)
- Getting rid of T9 words that I added but that these days become the first suggested word.. Found a way to revert back to the common word 'is' after adding 'HR' (as in human resources) to the dictionary which in hindsight is a boneheaded thing to do.. (T9 didn't used to work that way on my last Symbian phone)
- External Bluetooth keyboard 'justworks' out of the box, great.
- Wifi search, signal reception and configuration is amazing.
- Must-Haves: File system access with the free Y-Browser, Fring chat/Skype calls, Gmail client (lighter than the built in one), emTube (for Youtube vids).
- Also Google maps is pretty amazing, it even tracked my position using GSM triangulation when I was *WAY* upcountry in Northern Thailand.. Sometimes though it says 'position not availabs le', is that a phone thing or a network operator thing that they didn't list the GPS position of their signal towers?
That's it so far.. has it been a week already..?! I just don't know how I ever lived without one.

To a degree I agree when it comes to hardware; like E51 includes a 2 MP camera which honestly is fine for business functions like taking the occasional pic of a whiteboard drawing or the like.
However business people also want to show people pictures of their kids or something, and on a phone that's got plenty of hardware punch it seems just petty to ship it with a handicapped picture browser.
Same applies to music.. On those long flights you do actually want to listen to music..
I think this whole N vs E vs number series is just a case of over-marketing your stuff. I buy E51 because it had all the features I valued at a great price; nothing else enters into it. The next choice would actually have been 6110 Navigator, a number series phone. Or if an N series then probably an N80i, again similarly priced.

The irony is that the best e-mail implementation is actually GMail.. Get e-mails in a very lightweight browser AND be able to quickly search and retrieve ANY e-mail sent in the last 3 years or so. Really that's all that's needed. (well, along with better support for attachments, but the server-based model works very well I think.

Yeah I never quite understood that application. There seems so much redundancy there.. I mean you just want to copy files to and from the phone, so if the thing works like a USB drive then that really is just fine to move either pictures or music or anything else. I tried the i-tunes wannabe app once and honestly I don't see the poing of converting my mp3's to whatever it's converting to. The original mp3 sounds just fine and I have plenty of space on the memory card.
And then as a separate there should be sync to Outlook and that's pretty much it.
Backup....: again that's either just copying files, OR syncing. My sync to outlook IS my backup.
Modem/connections: I'd rather just see that as a modem driver for Windows and be done with it.

Yeah, it's not smart enough to notice by itself that a metric **bleep**ton of new tunes showed up so you have to manually go 'update'. Oh well.

I don't get that.. UNless perhaps the app crashed in a serious way, usually something pretty beta like Fring.

I'd be inclined to auto-forward all my work email to Gmail and be done with it. Then you have years of email always with you.

Are you kidding, they're all working on making their stuff look and feel like iPhone, just like every other phone company out there. Waste time in syncing email and multiple to-do levels? Sorry, not very hip, even for a business phone.
And to be sure, look at all the business people buying iPhones as if they were buying donuts.. iPhone COMPLETELY lacks major and sometimes very basic phone / business features but they don
t CARE as it browses the net, shows pictures, plays music. Again, Nokia tries to over-market and over-segment.. Get a cool 'everything' phone out there and everyone will buy it, business people included. Heck, 'business functions' just means 'business software'. For sure there's no such thing as business hardware.. -
A few things that might help before updating to 4.0 (if you haven't yet):
I'm in the IT dept of the company I work for and it's my job to troubleshoot, test, implement etc etc everything and anything regarding iphones and other related software. So, after MUCH trial and error, here are some of the key points I have found regarding the upgrade that I hope will also help other people as they have myself and others whom I work with. So here are some snippets of the mass email I sent out to our other associates who have yet to upgrade their OSs:
In order to make sure that you're upgrade goes as smooth as possible: please take into consideration the following recommendations:
1. It is not necessary to do the software upgrade on the same machine that you normally use to sync your phone.
I sync my phone at home on a PC, but upgraded the software at work on a Mac. I lost no data/music/photos/contacts/applications and it was fast and easy. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend you do your firmware upgrading on a Mac. I also did it at home on the pc and it was a nightmare. I had to uninstall and reinstall every scrap of Apple software I ever had on there and all kinds of other permissions/backup problems ensued.
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT upgrade your iphone's OS on a PC.
If you do not have a Mac, chances are you know somebody who does who will let your borrow their iTunes for an hour.
2. Obviously, you will need the most recent version of iTunes (9.2) and OSX10.5 or later on your computer (OPTIMALLY, you will have 10.6.4). Again, do this on a Mac. If it is not, please download and install 10.6.4/9.2 (DO NOT have your phone plugged into the machine while you do this). Wait for everything to upgrade, then restart your computer.
3. Always, always, always make sure you have a reliable backup of your phone's contents SOMEWHERE (it doesn't necessarily need to be on the computer you use to sync it, and to be honest I would recommend NOT using that same machine for the firmware upgrade). In the off-chance that your upgrade fails, you will lose all of your data if you do not have a backup.
4. Once all of your machine's software has been updated, go ahead and open iTunes THEN plug your phone into your machine. Once it finds your phone, it will likely automatically prompt you to upgrade your phone's firmware and carrier settings. Accept this.
If it does not, please choose the "check for update" button on the summary screen of your selected iphone in itunes.
Downloading and installing should take roughly 20-45 minutes (depending on your speed/connection). Itunes will create a backup of your current data/settings before installing this which shouldn't take more than 15 minutes and will overwrite your previous one.
You should not encounter a need to sync ANYTHING at this point, so please please please do not sync before updating. Keep it plugged in and do not answer any incoming calls, texts or emails while this is occurring. In fact do NOT use your phone at all, in any way while the update is being downloaded or applied.
5. If all goes well, your phone will restart itself after the installation. This will take a few minutes. It will disappear from your itunes during this time, but fret not, it will return. When it does, and you are told by itunes that the upgrade is complete, it is now safe to disconnect your phone and try out all the new features. (A reboot is HIGHLY recommended)
All of the listed features of the new iOS4 will be fully operational on all 3GS phones. 3G phones will not be able to multitask, among a few other things but nothing about its basic functionality will be removed. This update is not available for 2g phones at all. Once updated, it cannot be retrofitted with the old firmware without hacking and if you hack your phone, I will not support it and neither will Apple. Also, the FaceTime video chatting function is only supported on the iPhone 4.
For a comprehensive list of all of the cool new things you can now do with your upgraded phone, I recommend you READ the following links:
Really basic:

Hope this helps some folks and sheds some light on some of the things that can go wrong with your update and how you can avoid them!
Message was edited by: jinniferbHi - my IT department directed me to this page as we have been experiencing a few sync issues etc. So I downloaded the patch - my email account will not sync properly now. Is there any way I can uninstall this patch?
iOS 4: Exchange Mail, Contacts, or Calendars may not sync after update
Last Modified: 28 June, 2010
Article: TS3398
Symptoms
Immediately after updating to iOS 4, some users may notice that Exchange ActiveSync Mail, Contacts, or Calendars do not sync, or sync very slowly. In addition, some Exchange Server administrators may notice their servers running slowly.
Products Affected
iPod touch, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS
Resolution
To work around this issue, users should install a configuration profile from Apple that increases the amount of time the iOS 4 device will wait for the Exchange Server to respond to its sync requests. For best results, the profile should be installed on as many iOS 4 devices at your company as possible.
To install the profile:
Use Safari on your iOS 4 device to download the configuration profile. It may be easiest to read this article with your iPhone or iPod touch and tap the download link there, but you may also email the attachment to another email account on your iOS 4 device, and tap the attachment to open it.
Tap Install to install the profile, and enter your passcode if prompted.
A warning message will appear because the profile is not signed. Tap Install Now.
Tap Done to complete the installation, then power off your device and power it back on.
Wait for your Exchange data to finish syncing.
After installation, the profile will be listed under Settings > General > Profile. -
I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

Need some help in saving video message from viber to my Iphone 5S with new ios 8's program . I disabled the thing that would save photos and videos automatically then, there comes a video I want to save. After loading and watching it, I press the "save to gallery" thing but it doesn't save in gallery. I tried all, restarting my phone, rebooting then turning on the save automatically thing and when I watch it again, it still wouldn't save.
Probably a good question to ask Viber or look at their support site.

Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than 1.0.
Using: Release *10.1.3.3.1*
Hello All,
Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than *1.0*.
We have been attempting to deploy several BPEL projects via ANT script to a target environment and are encountering failures to deploy for every project which isn’t a (revision 1.0). We are getting the following error whenever we try to deploy a process with a revision other than 1.0:

The structure of our automated deployment script is as follows:
First, a batch script calls (Jdeveloper_BPEL_Prompt.bat) in order to set all necessary environment variables i.e. ORACLE_HOME, BPEL_HOME, ANT_HOME, etc for ant.
Next, the script lists every .jar file within the directory to an .ini file called BPEL_List.ini. Furthermore, BPEL_DIR, ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PSWD variables are set and initialized respectively to:
- “.” – point to directory where script is running from because all the BPEL processes are located here
- “oc4jadmin”
- “*********” (whatever the password for out environment is)
We’ve developed a method to have the script prompt the user to select the target environment to deploy to. Once the user selects the appropriate environment, the script goes through the BPEL_List.ini files and a loop tells it that for every BPEL process listed:
DO ant
-Dprocess.name=%%b
-Drev= !Rev!
-Dpath=%BPEL_DIR%
-Ddomain=default
-Dadmin.user=%ADMIN_USER%
-Dadmin.password=%ADMIN_PWD%
-Dhttp.hostname=%HOST%
-Dhttp.port=%PORT%
-Dverbose=true
(What’s happening is that the variables in the batch file are being passed on to the ANT script where *%%b* is the process name, !rev! is revision #, and so on…)
The loop goes through each line in the BPEL_List.ini and tokenizes the BPEL process into 3 parts *(%%a, %%b, and %%c)* but we only extract 2 parts: *%%b* (process name) and *%%c* which becomes !Rev! (revision number).
Example:
Sample BPEL process:
bpel_ThisIsProcess1_1.0.jar
bpel_ThisIsProcess2_SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
After tokenizing:
%%a %%b %%c
bpel ThisIsProcess1 1.0.jar
bpel ThisIsProcess2 SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
*!Rev!* and not *%%c* because *%%c* will return whatever the revision number is + the “.jar” file extension as illustrated above. So to circumvent this, we parse *%%c* so that the last 4 characters are stripped. Such is done like this:
set RevN=%%c
set RevN=!RevN:~0,-4!
Hence, the usage of !Rev!.
Below is a screenshot post of the ANT build.xml that goes with our script:

SUMMARY OF ISSUE AT HAND:
~ Every bpel process w/ 1.0 revision deploys with no problems
~ At first I would get an invalid character error most likely due to the “!” preceding “Rev”, but then I decided to set rev=”false” in the build.xml file. That didn’t work quite well. In another attempt, I decided to leave the –Drev= attribute within the batch script blank. That still led to 1.0s going through. My next thought was deploying something other than a 1.0, such as 1.2 or 2.0 and that’s when I realized that if it wasn’t a 1.0, it refused to go through.
QUESTIONS:
1. IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ANT LOOK INTO THE BPEL PROCESS AND PULL THE REVISION ID?
2. WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG? ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING?
3. DID WE GO TOO FAR? MEANING, IS THERE A MUCH EASIER WAY WE OVERLOOKED/FORGOT/OR DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT EXISTS?

Policy Map Test
class class-default
police 56000 8000 exceed-action drop
Class Map match-any class-default (id 0)
Match any
You would be saving a MAC-ACL ;-). -
Fails to find files that exist, fails to search everywhere
Running OSX 10.4.3 on a Powerbook G4 1.5gHz and on a PowerMac G4/867.
I hope it is because I am doing something wrong, but so far I am very unimpressed with Spotlight, for the following reasons:
•It fails to find files that are known to exist. For example, I have an application named MacTracker. It is in my Applications folder. When I enter
tracker
in the search field,
(with location set as wide as "computer" or as narrow as "Applications", with or without a "name contains" restriction) Spotlight will not show MacTracker as existing, even though I can see it with my own eyes, in the Applications folder window in the background. Only if I search on
Mactracker
will Spotlight see the application. This seems ridiculous to me. Any search, especially a "name contains" search, ought to show MacTracker if I search on track, tracker, actra, mactrac, etc. But, no. I have to enter "MacTracker" if I want it found.
•I make use of OSX Mail only occasionally. For most of my e-mail, I use a Unix mail handler known as PINE. PINE stores incoming and outgoing mail as plain text files in /users/me/mail . However, Spotlight refuses to include that location in its searches. I have tried using the Spotlight preferences to add
/mail to the list of specific places to search; no luck, Spotlight appears completely blind to anything outside of the locations Apple arbitrarily decided I needed to be able to search in.
Can anyone offer any ideas on how to make Spotlight work for me, instead of against me?
Thanks in advance.
Mac OS X (10.4.3)same problem here. the only answer i can find is....spotlight buh-lows. does anyone know if we can just revert to ye olden way of searching? simple things like: searching actually find the stuff you're searching for. and: list of items found arrangeable by date/alphabetically (just like any normal window in osx). also, is hitting apple-f essentially just bringing up spotlight in its own window, or does this search function differ at all? sorry to hijack the thread, but we suffer from the same problems. thank you!

Things that should be in the next update... please don't wait for 2.0
I've been using adobe products a long time and I have to say that I am a little disappointed there has not been more thought put into things that should just work in a v1 product.
Here is the list:
Ingest window should be able to be able to take up the full screen. At a minimum, it should remember the last size. My paths get somewhat long and this is very frustrating to continually have to resize the window or panes every time I ingest.
Ingest should put the files in the bin selected when I hit ingest. It always puts them at the root. To make matters worse, keyboard shortcuts that are used to select files in almost any program like SHIFT+HOME do not work. I have to click, scroll to the bottom and shift click the last file to select a range. Then drag all the clips to the target bin. Borrow the code from Premiere
Keyboard shortcuts for clip navigation. Logging clips with keyboard shortcuts is a godsend and this is one thing that I love about Prelude. Anyone who has to do a lot of logging will tell you these keyboard shortcuts are imperative to a smooth workflow. This is especially true if you have to log hundreds of clips like I do. Next clip, previous clip when editing from the navigation tree or in a roughcut would be extremely helpful. If I am in a roughcut, I can easily get into a clip, but not back out to the roughcut where I was. The only way I have found is to click on the roughcut name in the timeline window.
Re-linking moved media - FAIL. Since this product is supposed to let different people log media, it seems crazy that the program can not re-link it. Very few people in this world store there files in the same absolute path.
Lack of updates. Makes me wonder if Adobe is committed to this product. Having a really long time between iterations is hard on your users. At this point I have no clue if any of these features will ever be added.
I have spent a lot of time in this program and it is on the verge of being great. I personally think that before you start adding new features, you should fix some of the things that make it hard to use.Thank you for your post and your passion for Prelude. Input from customers like you is how we can improve out product.
I do have a few comments and questions for you about your experience. Also, many of the items you have listed are already part of Prelude.
Replies to your list:
1. The Ingest Dialog can be sized to fill your entire screen. Simply drag-drop the edges to resize. This size is also remembered on subsequent launches. This has been in the product for quite some time – what version of Prelude are you running? Currently we have made the following releases: Prelude 1.0, 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03. Our v2.0 has been announced and revealed at NAB last week and is coming out soon with many more enhancements and improvements. Rest assured that Adobe is committed to this product – as you will see with this new release.
2. Ingesting into the selected BIN is part of our upcoming release that was revealed at NAB. I'm currently on a Mac so cannot test the SHIFT+HOME shortcut, but Prelude does support CTRL/SHIFT selection options to make selection easier. I'll look into the HOME and END options as well. If they are missing we certainly want them added.
3. Glad you find the keyboard driven workflow beneficial. We had a lot of customer feedback early in our 1.0 days that this was a must. Adding support for clip selection in the Project Panel to open and log clips is something in our backlog we would also like to deliver because as you say it is very useful and saves time. We are also reviewing our Clip/Roughcut UI and workflow. Don't have anything to report yet other than this is an area we are focusing on.
4. Relinking is possible in Prelude 1.03. We've added additional relinking support in our 2.0 that provides relinking in rough cuts as well. If you are not yet on 1.03 please use the free update and let us know how it works for you.
5. As mentioned above, we have 3 updates posted last year for our 1.0. And 2.0 is coming out soon.
Please continue to share with us your thoughts and ideas for improving Prelude. We have an aggressive feature TODO list but are always looking for more direct input to help us properly prioritize what's part of our next delivery.
Thanks!

I am having a problem with pushing Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 (created via AAMEE 3.1) via ARD 3.6.1 to client Macs that meet the system requirements of a CS6 package. After a long period of time attempting to install the package, ARD fails on "install package". ARD shows the problem as "could not be installed. Error message: "Running package scripts..." (In a couple of cases, the package install hung up at "97%" before failing with this error).
I can install the source media or my Adobe package ok from the local Mac, but not the network.
My configuration of the package within AAMEE:
disable fonts
disable EULA
disable Adobe Product Improvement Program
disable AIR
Ignore conflicts deploy to default directory
I download and add updates automatically
Package is serialized
I will retest today, though I would like any thoughts anybody has on "general troubleshooting" or "best practices" that I may have missed. In my testing today, I will make sure to reboot the client machinge and keep it logged off while ARD pushes the package.
Thanks.Hi,
There can me many reasons for failure. We need to see the PDApp.log file of the machine where install is failing to tell you the reason of failure. The log file is formed at /usr/Library/Logs/PDApp.log.
Please mail the log at [email protected]
Thanks,

I Need assistance repairing my browser "Safari" on my MacBook Pro. The only thing that happens when I select it is that the Icon does bounce up and down. I've already tried to repair the files perms to no avail. I have also created another user and tried to use Safari when logged on as them and it didn't work then either.
Help!! I'm new to Apple but have loads of PC experience...Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Where do I find the things that MS has removed fro...
I was on a Help desk operation for 2-1/2 years and used Skype all the time. That ended a little after MS took the product. After that I was on Skype very little. I didn't upgrade since I saw that MS had removed one feature that I needed. When I came back to Skype a couple of years later, Skype was forcing me to upgrade and I didn't like what I wasn't seeing.
I used to be able to find Skype users by phone number, email addy, name, etc. In one of the first updates by MS I say that when looking by email addy, MS would only search for Skype users in certain domains, just the MS owned domains. Now I can't find a way to search for Skype users at all! If Skype has a way to do this, how to???
There used to be a way to see other users computer screen. Though I never used that feature, now I need it. How to??
There used to be a method for making changes to a message after sending and even deleting a sent message. How is this done now??
There used to be a way to include icons within a message from a list that Skype provided. How to??
Is there a list of differences since MS took over??
There used to be a way to see messages from the past year and from since I started with Skype. How to??
Thanks Chris C
I know there are other things that have slipped away, but these are the primary ones that I need in the short term. As I stumble on other things, I'll ask about them.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks for the excellent response!!
Even though I’ve accepted your response, there’s some additional things that may be useful to others reading that response and some things where I need to verify my understanding and/or I’d like to have Skype make some changes.
On the Search function, it’s well hidden. I also found the facility on the Conversation menu, but that doesn’t really fit well. Perhaps Skype would create instead an additional item for Search in the bar below the Title bar and cause a click to bring up a small box for entering the type of search and the contents to search for. And then a user could specify sending a message from Skype or click outside the box to go back to the normal Skype page. In the older Skype, Search brought up a new page for this. A small dialog box would work better than a separate page. From testing which I did, search does accept a persons name also.
I found the screen sharing option which you mentioned, on the Call menu. I presume that the operation is only active between the account making the call and the person who has received the call and is activated only when the person receiving the call goes to the Call menu and clicks on Share Screens. That brings up 3 questions:
Can the person making the call also click on Share Screens?
Can this be done on video calls only and/or audio calls?
Can this allow control of the other persons system (keyboard and mouse)?
I spent 2-1/2 years supporting FamilySearch.org and we made heavy use of this feature, but for some reason that I’m not aware of, we never used the facility in Skype.
Edit/Delete messages is very well hidden and I can’t remember how we did this in the older (versions 4 and 5) of Skype. It now requires a RIGHT click on either the message or the time displayed to the right of the first line of the message. Skype might consider showing the time in bolded red for as long as the message is within the time limits for Edit/Delete?
I’m sure Skype gets never ending requests for a longer or lesser value for the time limit. Perhaps Skype would consider a user defined value for the limit and a default of 1 hour if the user has not specified a value?
Emoticons are pretty much the same as we had in older versions of Skype.
Perhaps Skype could consider relocating “Send SMS from Skype”. Having the message so close results in new users stumbling into that accidently. It was the same in older versions of Skype also.
With well over 45k of these in the 3.5 years you’ve been doing this, you would have to average at least 100 of these in an 8 hour work day! I would guess that you work for Skype and that fact brings great credit to Skype. Thanks again for your help.
