Contacts' Status Changes when I change mine

I'm a newbie to Skype. I mostly use the desktop version on a Windows 8.1 laptop but also have the Skype app on my Android phone. The problem occurs on the laptop.
When I sign into Skype and change my status to "online" the status of one of my contacts instantly changes to "online" as well. Similarly, when I manually change my status to "offline", my contact's status changes to "offline" immediately. So, when I think they're online and available for a video call, they're really not listening and my call goes unanswered. In fact, after this happened several times, I finally emailed the contact who promptly replied that their computer had been off during the days when I'd tried to call.
What's the fix for this, fellow Skypers?

There is no fix that you can apply. The issue is on Skype network.

HT4363 does your home sharing apple id change when you change your itunes id?

Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID?

Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID (because I got a new email address)?

It doesn't change on your device automatically. To change the iCloud ID on an iOS device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

Why are my apps changing when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait

Recently, on my ipad mini retina, when i change the orientation from landscape to portrait, the apps change. For example, when i enter a game like impossible and change to landscape to play it and then exit the screen has shifted to either the right or left and shows the first line of the next pages apps. Its kind of like when im in the middle of changing from one page to another but it only changes back to normal when i tough the screen. Im not sure if this has anything to do with the new 7.1 ios but it is becoming really annoying

I know it is not a specific app problem because it happens when i come out of some of my apps, it doesnt happen all of the time, only sometimes. Also if any of you could help me with another issue with the same device, when i connect to wifi/hotspot i get static on the screen, it is very noticable when i show a dark picture or a large amount of the screen is a dark colour but i wanted to know if this was normal with the ipad mini retina. I have seen discussions about this device having problems connecting to wifi but i havent found any discussions on this. Does anyone know could cause this?

How to stop size of JTextField from changing when I change font to bold

I'm working on a Sudoku solver for a CS project. I've got JTextFields for the input. I want to bold the entries of the begining puzzle, like they are in the magazines. When I set the font to bold, it changes the size of the text field. I'm using the gridbaglayout and have tried everything to set in stone the size of a text field, but nothing seems to work. I've set the maximum, minimum size, the setSize method, as well as setting the prefered size. But no matter, when I change the font from plain to bold, the box grows in size. How do I prevent this from happening. I can post my gui code if it would help.
Here is a link to my grid, with the upper left square having bold text:
http://12.227.129.113/CS486/Project4/Project4.html

add them to panel/s set as a gridlayout 9 x 9, or (3 x 3) x (3 x 3)
simple demo of a 9 x 9
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
JTextField[] tf = new JTextField[81];
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(9,9,5,5));
    for(int x = 0, y = tf.length; x < y; x++)
      tf[x] = new JTextField(2);
      tf[x].setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);
      p.add(tf[x]);
    tf[0].setFont(tf[0].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[0].setText("9");
    tf[1].setText("3");
    tf[66].setFont(tf[66].getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    tf[66].setText("9");
    getContentPane().add(p);
    pack();

When using 2 printers at 2 locations. Rather than make sure the correct printer is shown when I print is there a way to make one change when I change locations?s there a way to

I have 2 residences each with a printer. When I move from one place to another and try to print I always have to make sure the correct printer is shown in the print window. What can I do to make one change on my MacBook Pro when I change locations so I am not bothered with this nuisance problem?

There was a way from OS9 location manager to set a default printer for any given location. This is not the case in OSX.
You can however, easily change the default printer in Terminal.app with lpoptions -d PRINTERNAME. To view all the printers type lpstat -p. Keep in mind that the name in lpstat -p may be a little different than the name in Printer Setup Utility. You must use the lpstat -p, PRINTERNAME when changing it in Terminal.app. Of course, if the names are the same, you don't need to worry about it.

Color changes when I change to full-screen mode.

The color settings change when I go from one screen mode to another.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you sure this is not an optical illusion due to the background change?
Open the info panel and check a point with the eyedropper tool in each mode.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

My settings change when I change sim card?

Hi,
I am going to go to Croatia for a holiday. I would like to buy there some prepaid sim-card. Does Blackberry's settings will change or it would be all the same when I will change simicard?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Nothing should change when you do this. With legacy BB devices, there could be some changes...but with BB10, nothing should change.
Good luck!

How do I keep the "display time" from changing when I change the "appear after" time?

Hello,
I am having the the problem that the "Display For" time for my text captions changes from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time" when I drag the "Appear After" time in the time line.
In other words, when I try to change when a text caption appears by dragging its Appear After point on the timeline from the very the start of the slide to e.g. 3 seconds after the slide starts, it automatically changes when it "disappears"... By that I mean the Display For time in "Timing" switches by itself from "Rest of Slide" to "Specific Time"...
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Ryan

Hi there
It's a feature!
Aside from making Ctrl+E your new best friend, the best you can do is report to Adobe and hope it gets fixed in a future release.

Can I make my default printer change when I change location

How do you make automatically change printers when you change network locations? If it is possible I sure don't see how. Seems like I could do this in OS9 but I didn't need it then.

I haven't tried it, but I've seen it advertised:

Desktop background changes when I change the user

The background changes from solid dark grey to solid dark aqua blue, when I make a quick user change. It happens automatically. Even when both desktops have the same (dark grey) background. This is a mess. Is it a bug?

that usuall happens when you are not connected to the internet. if you were running wifi your connection could have been lost for a moment and then recovered.

Menubar not changing when app changes.

Sometimes when I switch applications, the menubar does not change to the menubar of the current application. The actual menu items are there, but what I see is the previous app's text menus.
It seems most often it is Finder's menu that I see instead of the application I switched too. The most frequent applications that seem to trigger this issue are Chrome and Mail.
This is on a Mac Pro with OSX Lion.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
As far as I can tell this started happening this spring some time, not exactly sure when. I've gone through the usual diagnostics and fixes and so far can't find out what is happening. There are no errors that seem relevant in the logs at the times when this happens.
Usually switching apps a couple of times fixes the issue.

In Crystal, the parameters and filters are defined separately.
Let's say you have defined a parameter - "Country". You could see this paramter in the list of parameters.
When you run the report, the prompt will appear for input values. Even though the values are provided, it won't apply as a filter to the report query unless you specify manually.
So, Go to select expert and select a variable on which you want to apply the condition. You should assign this prompt value in place of condition corresponding to this variable.
Hope this helps!

JFileChooser: filename changes when i change directories

Hi,
I'm having a problem with a file chooser : when changing directories (change from default directory to dir of my choice), the "Filename:" text gets changed too.
Here is what is actually happening :
- I use setSelectedFile(<default file>) on my file chooser before opening
- it opens with <default file> in the Filename field.
- I switch to a different directory by double clicking within the area which shows the directories and files.
-->> problem : my filename takes the name of the directory which i double clicked.
** surprisingly enough , when i select a directory from the drop down list of the filechooser the above problem doesnt happen .
Below is my code. cud someone tell what is missing/wrong. plz treat this as urgent , i got to ship the code after 4 hrs
Thanks in advance for any help, i will more than glad to offer duke dollars for this one.

public class StepSaveFileDialog extends JFileChooser {
    String fileExtension = null;

        this.fileExtension = fileExtension;
        this.reportName = reportName.replaceAll(" ","_");
      public String getSaveDialog() throws IOException {
        String filePath = null;
        fileDialog = new JFileChooser();
        fileDialog.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
        fileDialog.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
        fileDialog.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(true);
        fileDialog.setFileFilter(new StepFileFilter(this.fileExtension));
        String dfltFilePath = ReportEngine.getDefaultReportSavePath();
        File selFile = null;
        String date = new StepDate(System.currentTimeMillis()).toString();
        date = date.replaceAll("/","");
        reportName = reportName + "_" + date;
        if (dfltFilePath != null) {
            selFile = new File((new File(dfltFilePath)).getCanonicalPath() + "\\" + reportName);
        }else{
            selFile = new File(reportName);
        fileDialog.setCurrentDirectory(selFile);
        fileDialog.setSelectedFile(selFile);
        int option = fileDialog.showSaveDialog(StepMainFrame.getInstance());
        if (option == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
            selFile = fileDialog.getSelectedFile();
                File reportFile = new File(selFile.toString());

                if (!success) {

                    if (overwriteOption == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION) {
                        filePath = getSaveDialog();
                        return filePath;
                filePath = reportFile.getAbsolutePath();
        return filePath;
the ReportEngine.getDefaultReportSavePath() is like this
private String getDefaultReportSavePath() {
        Properties prop = new Properties();
        String dfltFilePath = null;
        try {
            File file = new File(CONFIG_FILE);
            FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            prop.load(inputStream);
            inputStream.close();
            dfltFilePath = (String) prop.get("step.reportFilePath");
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            StepStatusBar.getInstance().writeErrorMessage(ioe.getMessage());
            StepLogger.getLogger().fatal(ioe.getMessage(), ioe);
        return dfltFilePath;
}the fileFilter is like this :
public class StepFileFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter {
    String fileExtension = null;
    public StepFileFilter(String fileExtension) {
        this.fileExtension = fileExtension;
    public boolean accept(File f) {
            return f.isDirectory() || f.getName().toLowerCase().endsWith(this.fileExtension);
    public String getDescription() {
        return this.fileExtension;
}

You will still be able to navigate through the area
where the files and directories are displayed with
FILES_ONLY. Clicking on a file will cause its name to
appear in the File Name field, while double-clicking
on a directory will navigate into it.
FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES causes the names of both files
and directories to appear in the File Name field when
they are clicked.

Why does my shape change when I change stroke attribute?

Hello,
I am having problems with my vector shapes automaticly changing shape (the position of every point that makes up the shape) when I increase the weight of the stroke or at color of the stroke. I hope that is clear.
For example: I have a Circle, then I change the weight of the stroke by clicking up on the arrows in the stroke dialog box. Every click up or down moves each point in a different direction. By the time I settle upon the weight I want, the shape is no longer a circle, but a abstract ameba shape.
Can anyone lend me some wisdom for what I can do to fix this problem?
Thanks a ton!

You select only part of the path instead of all of the path, that is some anchor points are selected, solid, as opposed to active but not selected outlined.
Option clickon the path withthe direct select tool or click on the center point to select the whole path with the direct selet tool or use the selection tool or drag a marquis with a selection tool to select the path and the anchor points
now you can move it with the arrow keys
oh I see you want to change the stroke weight you need to have the cursor active in the Stroke panels weight field in order for the weights to change so first select the path then click in the weight field of the panel.

My volume changes when songs change on 4S

This has been happening for a while now on my iPhone 4S i got in January. It started a few months ago. I'll change a song or when the song changes, the volume will be noticeably different. It seems it goes louder when I click to the right for the next song but when I click to the left for the previous song it gets quieter. What causes this and how can I fix it?
