Cannot change to 5.1 sound in Audi

I just got a set of Inspire P5800 speakers and hooked them up and have looked over the connection several times to make sure it's connected right, but it'll only play sound from the front speakers. I tried going into AudioHQ > Speakers and change if from 2/2. Speakers to anything else, but it won't let me, I'll press the tab but nothing will come down, I can't select anything but 2/.2 Speakers. Also, I have unchecked the Synchronize with Control Panel and tried setting the speakers to 5. there, but once I restart my computer it resets back to 2 speakers. Can anyone help me?

After about 9 hours of working at it with trial and error I finally got AudioHQ to allow me to select 5. sound, but there is no sound coming from the center speaker. Everything is plugged in correctly and all, but it won't even give me sound during a test. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

For some reason, I cannot change my desktop background no matter how many times I delete the "active" folder. It's as if it's locked. Any ideas how I can fix it?

Yes it sounds like you have a corrupted preference file.
The setting you make in individual programs get saved to a Preference file in your Users/Library/Preferences folder.
All you have to do is drag out the old file to the desktop, reboot and load the program and the preference file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
For your case I beleive the preference file is
com.apple.desktop.plist

Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro.

Hi i cannot change the brightness on my late 2011 macbook pro. It is stuck on the lowest level in which i can't view the screen without a flash light. Please i need help how to solve this. I was on my computer when i checked the back which it was really dusty, i tried unscrewing the bottom however some screws were too tight so i took it upon myself and got a rod and startedremoving the dust off the vents and i may have clicked something as i closed the lid on the macbook i could hear the sounds still from the film but the lid was closed as i opened it back up the brightness was on low but sounds were still playing. All the buttons work , all of the F keys, apart from the brightnes keys. I can shine a tourch on the screen and see the display but the brightness will not change but i can see when i click the brightness it says it changes. I have connected it to a spare tv i have via hdmi and i really need help as this is my primary computer and i need it for work when going away. Thank you

Cannot change Phone field in contacts

My brother has an iPhone 4 running iOS7. In the contacts app he cannot change the type of phone number. If you click "add phone", the label shows "radio" as the default number type. If you click on the blue "radio" label it gives the picklist of available options. This list does NOT include iPhone as an option. On my iPhone, in the upper right corner, I can select Edit to change the picklist or create a custom label. On his phone, instead of "Edit" it says "Done" - he does not have an edit option.
These are are the choices he has for the phone label: radio, home fax, home, company main, work, work fax, car, mobile, assistant, and pager.
Any idea how he can fix this to be able to edit that list and to add a custom label?

It sounds as if your brother is syncing his contacts to an Exchange account. If so, the label options are controlled by the Exchange account. The only way to get the ability to add custom labels would be to sync to some other type of account. Of course, that may not be an option if that's the only place he has his contacts.
For what it's worth, it's not necessary to label anything "iPhone". "Mobile" works just fine. It will not affect whether or not you can FaceTime or iMessage a contact.
Best of luck.

Cannot change library path or name when configuring a library call function

I cannot change the library path or name when configuring a library call. I browse to the new location, click OK. The new path appears in the box. I click OK to dismiss the configuration. Then I re-open the configuration and the old path has magically appeared. I wouldn;t care but I get a fatal error whenever I execute the call. (Another VI with the same call but to a different library works fine. So I am trying to get the failing call to use the one that works.)

I am using version 7.1
It turns out that everything works fine in LV 2010 but the customer doesn't have that rev.
I am remotely debugging this using GoToMeeting. Sounds weird, but I fell into that. It works fine, I have a screen which looks exactly like the screen in the customers site. I can do everything, albeit with a little time drag. The thing is, I e-mailed the VI from his site to mine so that I could send it to you. But it works fine here. So the question is what could be different there that would cause this?
The main problem that I am trying to solve is that when I run the VI, I get a message
"Labview: An exception occurred within the external code called by the Call Library Node. This might have corrupted Labview's memory. Save any work to a new location and restart Labview"
If I set the Library Node on my machine to the correct function, it runs without error. It seems, however, to start with a different function and then I get the same error. I would think that if there is a parameter mismatch that the library would return an error status, but this appears not to be the case. (I did not write the library, HP (Agilent) did) The function is correct at the customer's machine.

I have a 4s updated to iOS6 and I cannot change the mail tone. It is stuck.

No matter how much I try, I cannot change the mail tone and it is really frustrating me. I have restarted the phone, reset the phone, restored the phone. Still no luck. Can anyone help?

I really appreciate your help! Thank you so much. I can't change any sounds for mail. I have two accounts on my phone, and when I change them both, either through the notification centre, or the sound section they play the sound you click, but then when you actually get an email they revert back to one a quack the other a sci-fi noise

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
Have you tried it without the headphones?

Cannot Change Ringer Volume, Iphone 4

I am having some issues with the ringer volume on my iphone 4.
Cannot change the ringer volume with the side buttons, when I press them the ringer volume icon apperas but with no bars underneath it and unable to change it.
I have Ringer & Alert set to Change with Buttons.
However I have seen that when I press the home button twice and swipe to the mirroring icon this phone does not have itself in the list, but has my Apple TV's and the Dock Connector. IN my other iPhone it has the iphone.
I cannot chnage it from the Dock Connector setting.
Any idea on a fix. Did a full restore and this did not help.

Here is how I got mine to work again:
I plugged in the earbuds and made sure I can hear the sound from the earbuds then I just simply unplugged the earbuds and it worked! Hope this help you!

I hate macbook air. in keynote and pages -inversion colours. cannot change it.

in keynote and pages the project is viewed in inversion colours. cannot change it to show in origin. so, cannot create effective ppt or pages.
I use it on Macbook air. trial version. (i cannot buy it as i am a foreigner and work in China. no visa card and cannot open it as in china for foreigners they do not open).
i am really tired. already 3 days trying to create a normal ppt but its preview is shown in inversion colors. i tried to push every bottom and every option in the menu - no option to change preview on origin color style. as a result - no ppt and no pages. i start to hate macbook as i still keep dependent on my laptop with microsoft windows.
i took a trial version of iwork as i need to use excel, pages and ppt along for my work. realy hate macbook as it makes me limited.

I downloaded an instalation file of a trial version. found it in google. it looks like very official and has references on appstore along. I did not update Iwork as it didn't require any updates.
PS. yes, cannot use pages and keynote on my macbook air.

Changing calendar alert notification sounds.

I have an iPod Touch 2g and have been able to successfully sync it with the MS Exchange server we have at work. I can set an alarm for it and customize the sound for it so it can change. However, the Calendar event notification sound is on SciFi whenever an event is sent. A search of the forums suggest that the calendar event notification sound cannot be changed, but if this was true it'd be on a more default setting and not on the "scifi" sound, wouldn't it?
Currently, the only way I can see of changing the event alert sound would be to change the alarm clock sound as this seems to affect it indirectly (the alarm sound was set to sci-fi as well when changing the settings). Is there another way to specify the calendar alert sounds?
Thanks.

I've never used it but there is a place to set it on the menubar. Mail > Preferences.. > General tab > New messages sound: Set to one of the built ins or select add/remove to select a custom tone.

Captfred

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

Cannot change my printer preferences

Dear Hp technicians:
Hi I'm from Mexico and I just loged in to my hp e-print center and it took me here. My problem is I find it really difficult to log in from my country coz' hp connected doesn't work, it simply just don't let my Log in. I found that visiting hp connected-uk is the only way to log in. But then, I'm loged in, but I cannot change my printer preference coz' the button doesn't exist, the one that used to say "Change setting" is now just simple text. How can I go back to e-print center instead of HP connected..... Please this is driving me crazy!
I need your help

Hi there, if you've updated your ePrintCenter account to HP Connected you can't revert back. Check out this thread for more information on the change from ePC to HP Connected http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/ePrint-Print-Apps-Mobile-Printing-and-ePrintCenter/HP-Connected-Support...
Can you reply with a screenshot showing exactly what it is you're trying to change? Is it a setting of a printer in the Device tab or is it something in the "Settings" dropdown menu at the top right of the screen below?

Comment on usual method and solution, by a forum Moderator.
As long as there are no confounding factors, such as certain extensions, or a user.jsfile the procedure is as follows
# Open a new tab and type "about:config" in the address bar.
# In the Search bar type: "newtab"
# Locate and double click "browser.newtab.url"
# In the "Enter String Value" box change "'''about:newtab'''" to "'''about:blank'''" and click OK.
# Verify that the value has changed and now all new tabs will be blank.

Have to say that I rather agree with Mark..all we want is a simple, unadorned clean page that doe not track and show usage!! WHY NOT!! Is it too simple for developers..we aren't all (nor do we want to be!) software experts! Come on Mozilla..tidy up and clean up..it might be a quicker programme too!!

Cannot change payment method on subscription and C...

I am posting the transcript for the 45 minute chat I just suffered through. I simply needed to change my credit card as the old card had been replaced due to a security breach. Others on forums have complained about this issue but this is a stellar example of Skype's poor business and customer service practices. You are now chatting with 'Laarni M'. Laarni M: Hello! Welcome to Skype Live Support! My name is Laarni. Laarni M: If incase we got disconnected, simply click on the Chat Support Link and you will be reconnected to us in no time. Laarni M: https://support.skype.com/support_selection. Laarni M: With that being said, how may I help you? [Removed for privacy]: I need to update my credit card information because the credit card I have on file is expired. The update payment page does not give me the option to enter a new credit card. I started to delete my old card so I could add a new one, but I got an error message saying I must cancel my subscription before removing my credit card. Laarni M: Oh! [Removed for privacy]: I have a subscription already. [Removed for privacy]: I have had it for years. Laarni M: I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with updating your credit card. Laarni M: I will be glad to help you with this. Laarni M: To start with, can I have your Skype name and your name so that I can address you properly? [Removed for privacy]: I have already entered that information to begin this chat. It is required. Laarni M: I understand. [Removed for privacy]: the Skype name is [Removed for privacy] and my first name is [Removed for privacy] Laarni M: I just need to verify it. Laarni M: Thank you, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Nice to meet you. Laarni M: Let me just pull up your account. Laarni M: Anyway how's your day so far? [Removed for privacy]: OK, I have found it. Apparently I am forced to buy Skype credit in order to change my payment to a new method? This is ridicuous. Laarni M: I am now pulling up your account, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting. Laarni M: Yes, that is correct. In order to change your payment method you need to either wait for your subscription to expire so you can purchase using the new card or you can buy Skype Credit. [Removed for privacy]: Now that I have bought 10.00 of skype credit and added the new payment information that way, it is appearing in my payment settings and I can delete the old card. But again, this is the only way to add a new payment method, which is very wrong. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Oh, just lovely. I just tried to delete the old card and I have the same error message that "this card is being used to fund your Unlimited US and Canada 12 months. If you want to delete this card you have to cancel your subscription first." Is this some kind of nasty way of forcing me to lose my unlimited subscription? Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: Because the best way to add a new payment details is for you to let the subscription linked to the credit card expire first. Laarni M: After that, you can reactivate your subscrption using the new credit card. Laarni M: That is the best thing that I can recommend, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I went into change payment settings and changed the payment method to the new card. The page saved and said it had changed the setting. But then I went back in and it had not. It still defaults to the old card. I still get the "cancel subscription" message when I tried to delete the old card again. Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I can't let it expire or it won't pay for my subscription in August. Anyway the card will not expire. It was replaced due to a security breach at the issuing bank. Laarni M: Because you really need to let your subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update your card. Laarni M: I see. [Removed for privacy]: Why would I want to do that when I probably won't be able to get the same plan? I have had that unlimited plan for years. [Removed for privacy]: I am certainly not cancelling that plan. Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: This is really insane, you know. One should easily be able to update payment information when a card needs to be changed. [Removed for privacy]: I had this same problem last year, but there was a workaround. If you do not know what the current workaround is then please transfer me to a supervisor who does.l Laarni M: I understand, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I doubt that you do understand. Since the forums indicate this is an ongoing problem, I am forced to assume this situation is intentional and is a way of forcing people to give up older and less expensive plans, and that you are fully aware of that. Laarni M: I am sorry but as much as I want to help you, we can't do anything but to let the subscription expire first by cancelling it before you update the credit card. [Removed for privacy]: I need to speak to a supervisor, please. Laarni M: I am sorry but as of the moment, my supervisor is engaged to a different activity. [Removed for privacy]: I am sorry but that is not the case. That is just what you have been told to say. I can continue to open new chats and waste representative's time for hours, or you can arrange for me to communicate with a supervisor. Laarni M: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused you. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I understand that it is really important for you ad upon further checking, we can try this step that may work for you. Laarni M: Do you have another browser aside from the one that you are using right now? [Removed for privacy]: Yes, I do Laarni M: Great! Laarni M: Internet Explorer would be the best. Laarni M: Can you please open it and go the link that I will provide to you? [Removed for privacy]: It is already open, please send the link Laarni M: Alright. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link. Laarni M: Once you click on the link, and click Skype credit, please do not forget to click the change payment method when you buy Skype credit. [Removed for privacy]: I still do not have the link Laarni M: I am sorry for the delay, I am just having a system error as of the moment. Laarni M: But on your end, you can go to the page where you can buy Skype credit. Laarni M: By the way, there are 2 cards saved on your account. Laarni M: May I know the last 4 digit of the card that you want to use? [Removed for privacy]: 1591. And yes, I already explained to you that I bought Skype credit (which I do not need as I have a subscription!!) just to add the new credit card. Laarni M: I see. Laarni M: I can delete first the old credit card saved on our system. [Removed for privacy]: Please do that, but do NOT delete or cancel my subscription when you do this. Laarni M: Alright, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thank you for patiently waiting, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: I hope that what you are doing is successful. Laarni M: Please hang on, [Removed for privacy] as we are still doing some workaround for this. Laarni M: We are also getting an error doing this. [Removed for privacy]: That is not confidence-inspiring. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way. [Removed for privacy]: I imagine that anyone would feel that way. Laarni M: Thank you for waiting, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Here's what we can do to help you now, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: We really need to cancel your subscription so it will cancel the recurring payment. Laarni M: This does not mean that the subscrition will be cancelled. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. Laarni M: So once we cancel your subscription now, you can try to go to the payment settings and update your credit details. Laarni M: Is everything okay? Haven't heard from you in a while. [Removed for privacy]: I am sure that you realize this is unacceptable. I am very surprised that you would suggest this as a solution. As I stated above, I am well aware that this is a method Skype is using to force people to give up better subscriptions. I will not be forced to accept a suboptimal subscription by this method. I am also aware that a supervisor can correct this problem in the system by hand. Please put me in communication with a supervisor. Also--I have ALREADY updated my credit details as I explained above. You or a supervisor simply need to change the subscription payment method to the new card that is already on file. Laarni M: I understand where you are coming from, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: But I am trying to help you with giving the best solution for this. [Removed for privacy]: We are going in circles. I have been on this chat for 45 minutes trying to get a simple payment method change that with any other company, I could do by myself online in two minutes. You are not offering me any kind of solution at all. You are insulting my intelligence by claiming that the payment method cannot be replaced. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. [Removed for privacy]: Please stop this. The system is clearly set up to block a payment change. A supervisor can override this and that is what I expect you to arrange. Laarni M: But as of the moment, there is no available supervisor. [Removed for privacy]: Please do not tell me things that are not true. [Removed for privacy]: Please connect me with a supervisor. Laarni M: And If I will transfer you to my supervisor, he will give the same information that I provided to you. Laarni M: This is because it is the only workaround for this, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: You do not need to worry, cancelling your subscription is just cancelling the recurring payment or auto renewal. [Removed for privacy]: He may, but if he does, he will also be stating something that is not true. It is always possible for a supervisor or manager to make changes in the system. Laarni M: You can still use your subscription until the end of the billing period. [Removed for privacy]: I'm sorry, but in August when the billing period ends, I will receive notification that my subscription has cancelled due to non-payment and that I must choose a new plan. That is what I do not want. Therefore your solution is unacceptable. I have stated this clearly. Laarni M: I am sorry [Removed for privacy], I really want to help you but this is only the work around or soultion that we can do. [Removed for privacy]: Then apparently after 8 years, I will be searching for new phone service. I am very sorry that this is the case. Laarni M: If the auto renewal will cancel, you can still reactivate your subscrition and that time, the new payment method will be use for that subscription. [Removed for privacy]: Do I have your word that I will be allowed to keep the same plan with no changes to my subscription? Laarni M: Yes, [Removed for privacy]. You can still reactivate the same subscription. Laarni M: You do not need to wory about this. [Removed for privacy]: If that is not the case I will be cancelling. And Skype needs to change its payment method practices. This is very poor customer service. I will be going on every forum I can find and posting a poor review of the service. This is a shame since I have been a loyal Skype customer for more than 8 years. I was a customer when Skype was the only internet phone company in business. info: Your chat transcript will be sent to [Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!] at the end of your chat. Laarni M: I am sorry if you feel this way, [Removed for privacy]. Laarni M: Thnak you for being loyal with Skype.

Well, it happened again. This time I'm done with Skype. A ten-year customer, and they've finally worn me down and worn me out. Yes, after 30 minutes of constant escalation, requesting a supervisor, and finally threatening to walk, they offered another annual contract at 6 cents more a year. But at the cost of making me sign up all over again, and after wasting my time both last year and this year. And I am DONE. I will use my remaining Skype credit for the few online teaching video conferences I have to do, but no more subscriptions. Bye, Skype. I would provide adjectives for how horrible your customer service is, but they would all be profane.

Customer: at 19:07:58
why?
Gian C: at 19:08:21
Just want to make sure if repurchasing the subscription would be avaialble
Customer: at 19:08:36
I was told last year that it would be available. And two nights ago.
Gian C: at 19:08:36
That is the best work around to get the subscription back using the new card details
Gian C: at 19:08:45
I understand
Gian C: at 19:08:53
Can you please go and check it first
Customer: at 19:08:59
No, thank you. Please just apply my card. This is what happened last year.
Gian C: at 19:09:02
So I can assure the resolutiong
Customer: at 19:09:34
The subscription shows that it expires today. It is on my account. Simply renew it with the card information that is also on my account.
Gian C: at 19:09:40
Can you help me on this to solve your issue please?
Gian C: at 19:09:53
I understand
Customer: at 19:10:02
You have directed me to your sales site to search for the plan I already have all over again. I have no time for this.
Gian C: at 19:10:06
However the time you change the card did not worked on the system
Gian C: at 19:10:15
That is why the renewal did not push trough
Customer: at 19:10:41
It didn't work last year either because the system is a mess. But a rep fixed it last year. If you cannot do this please pass me to a supervisor.
Gian C: at 19:10:59
ok.
Gian C: at 19:11:19
Before we do that, can you please try to check if the subscription is available first.
Customer: at 19:11:40
I do not understand how you expect ME to check if a subscription is available!
Customer: at 19:12:04
The subscription is ON MY ACCOUNT AND SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE RENEWED.

Gian C: at 19:13:28
Thanks for the information
Gian C: at 19:13:38
When did you change your card detail? For this subscription?
Customer: at 19:15:08
Last year. At which time the system refused to remove the earlier invalid card and charge the 2nd (correct) one. This year the system allowed me to remove the old card. The rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine. When I looked at the detail this evening, the expiration date was missing, so I filled it in. The rep said NOTHING about this two days ago. Frankly I think Skype is trying to sabotage my re-order to try to force me off of my annual plan and onto a monthly. I will not do it.
Gian C: at 19:15:13
Thanks
Gian C: at 19:15:48
Just to make sure we will be solving this issue, can you please provide me your call back number
Customer: at 19:15:59
You do not need to call me.
Gian C: at 19:16:07
Just incase this chat got disconnected so our supervisor can call you
Customer: at 19:16:19

Gian C: at 19:16:25
Let me get you our supervisor as you have requested
Gian C: at 19:16:29
Thank you
Customer: at 19:25:17
?hello
Gian C: at 19:27:42
I will get back to you once the Supervisor is ready to take this chat. For a moment
Gian C: at 19:27:50
Sorry to keep you waiting
Gian C: at 19:28:08
Our Supervisor is still engaged with the call
Gian C: at 19:28:10
Anyway
Gian C: at 19:28:20
Here is what we have found out on the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:41
The renewal has passed already, so we can't renew it manually other than repurchasing the subscription
Gian C: at 19:28:54
Checking the price of the subscription
Customer: at 19:28:59
It has not passed yet. it expires 5/7. Today is 5/6.
Gian C: at 19:29:12
Let me give you a heads up
Gian C: at 19:29:39
Auto-renewal only happens once. And that is 3 days before the subscription expire
Customer: at 19:30:09
I give up. This is done. No subscription. Of any type. And I have been a Skype customer for over 10 years. Goodbye.
Gian C: at 19:30:23
I am sorry if you feel that way
Gian C: at 19:30:34
I am explaining to you all the things you need to know
Gian C: at 19:31:27
But you refused to listen nor cooperate. As much as I wanted you to get your subscription back. However it is within your call if you want to follow my advised to get this resolved quickly
Gian C: at 19:31:47
The new subscription prices is just 30.50USD for 1 year
Gian C: at 19:32:12
It is just few cents higer compare to the old price $29.99
Gian C: at 19:32:37
I hope that won't be a problem for you to get the 12 months subscription for the Unlimited US and Canada.
Customer: at 19:32:51
This is flatly ridiculous. The rep 2 days ago told me this was taken care of. Now you tell me it is not, keep me on chat for 30 minutes, make me look up subscription prices on your OWN website, and then tell me my subscription has expired when it has not. Yet I am the one being called uncooperative.
Gian C: at 19:33:02
If the auto renewal failed because of card used
Customer: at 19:33:05
That is a problem. I will not resubscribe. I don't care that it is only 6 cents a year more.
Gian C: at 19:33:21
Then Repurchasing the same subscription will be best to get it back
Customer: at 19:33:30
That is not why. If Skype did not have the information required I should have received an early email. I got SEVEN EMAILS IN ONE DAY INSTEAD.
Customer: at 19:33:42
The 7th one said the subscription was cancelled.
Gian C: at 19:34:05
That is the notification sent by Skype to tell you that we are still trying to accept the payment
Customer: at 19:34:30
It makes no sense to notify a customer every two hours on a SINGLE day, but not before.
Gian C: at 19:34:33
6 times the sytem try to renew the subscription
Customer: at 19:34:43
Yes. ON the same day. None on any other day.
Gian C: at 19:35:01
If only there is no problem with your card then the subscription should renew without a problem
Customer: at 19:35:10
You expect people who are at work to sign in from their work PC for personal business and renew within 8 hours. Ridiculous.
Gian C: at 19:35:08
Yes correct
Customer: at 19:35:12
I am done.
Gian C: at 19:35:10
As I said
Gian C: at 19:35:30
3 days before the subscription expire is the only day to renew the subscription automatically
Gian C: at 19:35:32
That is how the system works
Customer: at 19:35:34
As I said, the rep 2 days ago told me the card was fine but would take 24 hours for teh change to apply to the syste.
Gian C: at 19:35:37
It is part of the terms of use
Customer: at 19:35:43
Read what I said.
Gian C: at 19:36:01
Yes I already documented this case and I already escalated those previous representative
Gian C: at 19:36:08
For providing you false information
Customer: at 19:36:12
The terms of use don't say you bombard people with emails every 2 hours on a single day.
Customer: at 19:36:44
And then cut them off at the end of the day. When their subscription has not even expired yet. And then tell them it's their own fault their card didn't work. When they were told it was fine.
Gian C: at 19:36:50
The email notification is our way to make sure customer will be notified that they need to renew the subscription to avoid this kind of issue
Customer: at 19:37:07
Then why not send it once a day for six days instead?
Customer: at 19:37:13
that would make a lot more sense!
Gian C: at 19:37:38
Here is the thing Kim the system works that way for 10 years already
Gian C: at 19:38:12
And only few customers are having this kind of issue, common issue was cause by problem with the card associated to the subscription.
Customer: at 19:38:18
See this? this was last year:
Customer: at 19:38:20

Gian C: at 19:38:26
Ok
Customer: at 19:38:45
You'll get an update on that thread, believe me. Which will make it clear why I'm done with Skype.

Cannot delete login item "You cannot change this item because it's managed by your system administrator"

We migrated a server (ldap and file serving) to some new machines, which have new names. We've got all of the login and file sharing functionality working on the new machines, but wherever we have a mount of a share in the Login Items for a user, we can't get the old machine out of the Login Items. It's not fatal, but it does make login take a lot longer because it has to fail first.
We can mount the share from the new server, and save THAT in a NEW Login Item just fine -- it's just that when you click on the old defunct one the minus sign is greyed out, and the mouseover says "You cannot change this item because it's managed by your system administrator." There is a yellow triangle next to the item in the list. Went into the user's ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist and it's not in the file. The /Library/Preferences don't have anything that looks like a plist of the right name.
Where do I find it and how do I get rid of it?

In response to ManishBhatt94's post today, I may have some information that may be useful to you. I called Microsoft's 800-642-7676 and spoke with a technical representative with questions pertaining to my particular issue. I also have friend that has the
same issue with her computer running windows 8. A representative from my ISP told me how to go into 1)Tools, 2)Internet Options, 3)Connections, 4)LAN settings and uncheck the proxy settings box. However after restarting or shutting down my computer it reappears.
It will also reappears while I play games on Facebook not allowing me continue until I go back into the proxy settings in LAN and uncheck the box AGAIN and AGAIN. A local owner of a computer repair shop told my friend that it was a virus. After speaking with
Microsoft today I was told the same thing/it was more than likely a virus on my personal PC at home. As most people likely do, I use wireless internet in my home on the affected computer. Solution; as suggested by Microsoft rep was to have the virus
professionally removed either by someone or to use their remote service for a fee of $149 which comes with several guarantees and does not require you to re-install software or documents. I hope that my response was of some help to you. I also kept trying
to fix this problem but wasted a lot of time. He also suggested to Google the proxy problem to see if ANYONE has any alternatives to fixing this problem!
