Can't find where to sign in with my Microsoft acco...

I'm not even sure how well I can explain what is not working because I don't understand.
I have been trying to create a Skype account. I chose to log in with my Microsoft account. Then when it asks me for a user name, it won't let me use my email. How would I know what my user name is? I didn't give them one. At least not that I know of. So I tried to request that they send me my user name. However, it took me to my hotmail account which asked me if I wanted to change my log in information at that site. I don't. But I never recieved any emails from Skype to give me my user name. I tried this a couple of times with the same result. Then it told me that I have already request the information too many times for security purposes. At some point in all of this, I was prompted to make sure I had the latest version of Skype. But installation stalled in the middle because I lacked...wait for it...my user name. *sigh* I can't do any thing without that crazy user name that I don't seem to have (or if I have it, I sure don't remember it!). Sometimes I appear to be logged in and then suddently I'm out in the cold again. I don't know why. I can't tell what is going on. So I tried to find a ccustomer support email address. None to be found. But there's pop up that gives me ways to log in; however, none of them really seem to work and/or address my specific problem. *huge sigh* So I come to these forums; however, I get the same run around from the log in system because it wants me to use that crazy user name instead of my email. If I had the user name, I don't think I'd have a problem. I can't really explain what happened any better than this, because I have no idea what was going on or why. I'm so frustrated right now that I can't seem to even think straight. Who knows if I'll even be able to make it back here to see if anyone ever tries to answer this confusing post. After all, I don't have that absolutely necessary but elusive user name. I'm one very sad, confused, discouraged, and frustrated woman right about now. I'm not new at registering for things, so this snafu has taken me totally off guard.
I guess I should thank anyone who may try to answer this post now since I may never find my way back in here again without that user name. Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure why you believe you need a Skype name to sign into the service when your Microsoft account is all that is needed. You can either sign in with your Skype user name or Microsoft account name. Creating a name here on the forums is something else as well.
If you want an account based off a Skype name of your choosing then you can fill out this form:
https://login.skype.com/account/signup-form
If you want an account based off your Microsoft account that you use instead of a Skype name to log onto this server you can fill out this form after you sign-in with your Microsoft account:
https://login.skype.com/login/oauth/microsoft?application=account
All Microsoft account based Skype accounts have a pseudo-Skype name in for the form of live:Microsoftaccount. If you require a Skype name to sign into TV or phone hardware you can enable it in your account:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10580/what-do-i-need-to-use-skype-on-my-tv#10
Once enabled you can use that live:Microsoftaccount name as a Skype name or to sign into TV/Phone hardware. It will work as long as the hardware you are using support the colon character ( : ) in your user name.

How do i change my photo print options to landscape or portrait. I can't find where to change it.

How do i change my print options in iPhoto to landscape or portrait. I can't find where to change it.

With the introduction of iPhoto 9 (11) there's no Page Setup anymore for iPhoto. That's handled by iPhoto in the Print window by the layout and print size you've selected. We'll assume you're using Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6
We need to know more details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what do you see in iPhoto's Print window?
has it ever worked with iPhoto 6.
how are the photos oriented when viewed in an Event or album?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?

I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

Hi Lionalx,
I've tried to follow your tip but I got a page that contains the following message : "This directory contains some helper apps and scripts for setting

Despite of this error, I'm finding some interesting tips in the address that you indicated. OK?
Thanks.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

With ios6 where do my pictures go when I click "Save Photo" from Facebook? I can't find where they are being saved.

I just downloaded IOS6 and now I can't seem to save pictures from Facebook to my iPhone. I click on the picture as I always have and click "save photo", however I can't find where these pictures are being saved. They are not showing up in my photos folder as they once did. Please help!

I was having the same issue and just figured it out. There's a setting you have to turn on to allow Facebook to access your photos. One it's turned on it starts working. Here is the location:
Settings > Privacy > Photos > turn facebook to ON

I can't find where to download the creative cloud

so i started out with the free trial and then signed up for the monthly plan. I tried to open photoshop on my desktop and it kept saying my free trial was over. I uninstalled it and illustrator but couldn't download them again. It said in the creative cloud that they were already downloaded. I then uninstalled the creative cloud and now I can't find where to download it again.

I can't find where to download elements premier 11 onto my new computer?

JODY
Let us put together some information which will be helpful to getting the customized answer for you that will work.
1. Have you purchased Premiere Elements 11 and/or 12 and do you have a purchased serial number for either?
What computer operating systems are involved - old and new?
2. If you purchased an online download of either product from Adobe, you should be able to download these files from
Adobe http://www.adobe.com in the My Orders section there once you Sign In. You can also get help from Adobe via Adobe Chat by clicking on the following link, and, when it opens, clicking on the statement "Still need help? Contact us." to discuss Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges.
Contact Customer Care
If you did not purchase any of the installation files from Adobe, then this should not help.
3. If you have purchased serial number but cannot file installation files or disc anywhere, you can download and install installation files for Premiere Elements 9, 10, 11, and 12 from the following web site. They are tryouts into which you can insert your purchased serial number and then make that your working program.
This is the link to the Premiere Elements 11 tryouts
Photoshop Elements 11 Direct Download Links: Free Trials, Premiere | ProDesignTools
This is the link to the Premiere Elements 12 tryouts
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
With either of them, you have to read the Note: Very Important Instructions and follow them carefully otherwise you will end up with an Access Denied message.
Please let us know if any of the above helped. If not, please supply more details for us to help you.
Thank you.

HT1420 I can't find where you authorized computers in iTunes.

I can't find where you authorized computers in iTunes

Authorization and Deauthorization
See iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization for Macs.
See How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld for Windows.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

HT2490 menu bar at top screen mountain lion is on pop up mode, I want it to stay visible but can't find where to do that on the system preferences

I hate the mountain lion upgrade and have had more problems with it than good things!
Its reset a lot of things on my computer, one of them being that the menu bar at the top with the apple logo on the right etc pops in and out of view whereas I would like it to stay visible but admittedly I'm no computer genius but I can't find where to change this setting. Any help???
And mountain lion with safari blocks plug-ins so I installed google chrome which works fine so I can watch you tube, why can't I watch you tube with safari??? totally annoying!!!! I have the most up to date adobe flash player also but it always tells me its not up to date. No idea how to fix this but I hope apple fixes it soon. Really disappointed with the "upgrade"
I would appreciate anyone that could lead me in the right direction so I can function normally again.

If you can't see the menu bar using Safari, it sounds like you're using full screen mode.
Try Control + Command + F to reveal or hide the menu bar.
For the blocked plugin issue try here > safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug...: Apple Support Communities

I can't find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external burning device

I can not find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external when burning music in iTunes. Please help.

First, check to make sure it is plugged in. With all of the devices you may have and limited USB ports, you may have mistaken which is plugged in. When you pull down file to burn a CD, a pop up window should occur giving you a selection of your internal and external CD drives. If you only see your internal drive, try inserting a disc and see if you computer asks what you want to do with the CD. If so, it shows your computer is now seeing the drive. If nothing happens, try restarting your computer with your external drive plugged in.
