Can I run Skype simultaneously on my laptop and an...

* I get better audio communication making Skype calls on my Android phone using a headset.  The same headset I use for ordinary calls and listening to music.
* The text-messaging interface is better from the laptop
* Notification that a text message has been received is better from the laptop
Therefore, I want to simultaneously run Skype on both of them.  I tried and found that it seemed to work for a while, but then the audio conversation began cuting out and in.
Is this just unsupported?
I would like to disable the audio (and video) on the laptop Skype - using it only for text messages.
Pick up or initiate calls from the android Skype.
Anybody else tried this?

Note that although Terence is right for the most part, you will find sites out there that claim to give instructions for getting Mac OS X to work on a PC. However, it's important to understand that this can only work if the hardware is very similar to a Mac's hardware, and even then you're going to end up with a crappy, quirky, crash-prone shadow of Mac OS X. (So, not much different than Windows! ) It's really not worth the trouble, and it's a violation of the license anyway.

  • Can I run CC on my main frame and then while traveling on my Laptop?

    Can I run CC on my main frame and then while traveling on my Laptop?  I know that they both will not be running at the same time.

    Hi Don,
    As it has been mentioned that each CC entitles you two installs. It can be on any operating system of Windows or Macintosh.
    This has also been published in this link:

    "Can I use the software I download from Creative Cloud on multiple computers?
    Yes, you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See the product license agreements page for more information."

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

    Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline.  Offline Activation
    The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications,  I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install.  It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you taken the step of restarting the laptop.
    Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using.

  • My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.

    My itunes is on an old computer.  So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years.  How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again?  Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
    I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts.  Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins?  Really concerned about losing any music, etc.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    I have over 50 gigs of music on iTunes; can I store only some on my laptop and the rest on a backup HDD?

    Just copy the music from one computer to another over your network or via a USB flash drive.
    If you are in the US, have the latest version of iTunes (10.3) and the media was purchased via the iTunes store, you can redownload all the content via iTunes.

  • Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my laptop and desktop using the same license?

    Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my Laptop and Desktop using the same License?
    Thanks!

    For Photoshop CC:
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

  • Can't run Skype on laptop - Why?

    I'm new to this community and can't find a solution to my problem so I need help. - My technucal knowledge is also very basic so I need simple explanations.
    I have 2 laptops and 1 Androuid Tablet. One laptop runs Windows 7 Home Premium and the other Windows 8.1 I have Skype installed on all 3 devices and previously it worked perfectly.
    Because of a home move my devices nwere all left switrched off for several weeks.
    I now find that Skype still works on my tablet and also on my Windows 8.1 laptop. However, it no longer works on my Windos 7 laptop.
    When I run the programme I get the sign in screen. I sign it but get a message saying 'cannot connect.' I click on 'can't access my account and I am sent a message by email giving me an account  access code to use. When I use the code I am 'signed in' but only given access to a page providinbg details of calls made and credit available, etc. - I do not use this credit facility so it is no use to me. There is no way to get from this page to my usual page showing my contacts and allowing me to communicate wity them. Nor can I find a way to correspond with Skype Support to ask them for help.
    Anyone got a suggestion please?
    Solved!

  • Can I run Skype through FireFox/Mozilla without installing skype on my laptop?

    My laptop is running Windows Vista Home premium (SP2) and the Windows Installer has failed thus I am unable to install or un-install applications like skye. As a result I am looking for a way to run skype while I am unable to install it normally. Is there a plugin or other add on that will meet my needs?

    It may be a good idea to fix the Windows installer so you won't run into further problems.
    To fix the problem first try to re-register the Windows installer service.
    To do this:
    * Type Windows+R to bring up the run box.
    * Open cmd by typing cmd' and press enter
    * In cmd type: msiexec /unregister
    * Then type msiexec /regserver
    * Type exit to exit cmd after that try to run the installer again.
    Let us know the results.

  • Can you run indesign cs4 on a laptop without internet connection

    I believe that Indesign CS4 checks over the internet before opening. If that is the case can you run it on a laptop without an internet connection?
    Thanks

    From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
    "here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
    [Help] files are located in the following location:
    C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
    from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
    should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
    the program itself.*"
    I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
    Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
    Vista, by the way). "
    Yours would presumably be at [the German equivalent of
    ..]/de-DE/InDesign6.0, or whatever your locale is (AT, CH...)

  • How can I update a catalog on my laptop and then transfer the updates to master catalog on desktop?

    This is similar to Goeffbubbles question but I don't want to have the original files on both laptop and desktop
    Here is the question:
    I want to make a copy of a Lightroom 3 catalog to put on my laptop so while on the move I can be geo-tagging and keywording to 8000 photographs. I don't want to drag an external drive with me. I just want to be able to work on the catalog metadata and have all the updates/changes stored there (on the laptop)(in the catalog) and then transfer the catalog back to the desktop (to the primary archive) and have all the updates/changes pushed back into the DNG's or the XMP sidecar files alongside the CR2's. These changes would be only keywording and possibly writing GPS data into them….NOT image edits (that would probally require access to the original image files)
    As a test, I tried "exporting as catalog", TWO images (with the source images "unavailable"). I flash-drived the resulting catalog to my laptop. I opened the catalog in LR3 and made changes to the metadata. I tried both "saving metadata to file" and "updating DNG previews" (which would be useless anyway since I could not write data back to the missing originals) and also tried doing nothing and just closing LR,  then pulling the flashdrive and plugging it into the DESKTOP.(knowing the changes are stored within the catalog itself only) I open the 2 picture catalog in LR and see the keyword updates. Hurrah!
    I switch over to the master catalog. All I want to do is import the updated metadata (keywording, contrast, etc…) back into the master catalog and push the data into the original DNG or XMP. On import I select "replace: Metadata and develop settings only" (with or without "preserve old settings" checked) and click import. Voila! NOTHING HAPPENS and the updated keywords are NOT picked up.
    Where did I go wrong? I know that the metadata updates were carried out because they showed up when I opened it separately in LR! For some reason they don't seem to making through the import process to the master catalog…
    Sorry if I am being overly verbose....Any suggestions?

    the part you're missing is that you have to be a little more destructive in your creation.
    here are my steps:
    In LR, put the files you want to work on in a subfolder of your Primary catalog
    Export Folder As Catalog with previews, but without including the DNG's
    At your new location/machine work on that catalog.
    Here's the part that's no fun, (obviously have a backup of your catalog before you do this)
    In your primary catalog REMOVE that folder from your catalog. (this will remove all references within your catalog, but leave the RAW files alone where they were)
    You then FILE-->IMPORT FROM ANOTHER CATALOG, and import your subfolder export back into your Primary catalog.
    It'll bring all of your changes and previews back into your Primary catalog but with unlinked RAW files.
    Click on the question mark in the corner of the thumbnail that's telling you it doesn't know where the source files are and LOCATE the original file again in your file structure, with the FIND NEARBY MISSING PHOTOS box checked.
    Overly complicated for what it is, but it gets the job done.
    I found your post because it was suggested on the sidebar after I just made a feature request on the same topic.
