Data used for a 25 minute skype call

Hello,
I am using skype 7.0 for windows PC to make 25 minute skype calls for work. I am just on an 800mb limit per day. According to my ISP's Web site, 800 mb is enough to make 4.5 hours of skype calls. But I saw that for just one skype call, my statistics tab showed I consumed about 350+mb already after just one 25 minute skype call. So if this is the case for every skype call I make, I can only make 2-3 25 minute skype calls before my ISP limits my internet usage for the day.
How much data is used for 1 25 minute skype call using PC ?
I think my ISP's Web site is misleading about skype calls.
Solved!

You can still have your video on and your student can have their video off. If they "call" you instead of "video call" you, their video will never be engaged and you can just turn your video on from that point. The big problem with ISP bandwidth restrictions is that their limitation tends to count upload and download which greatly reduces your overall real bandwidth. You can use this as a guide as well to guesstimate.
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/Bandwidth-Consumption-Question-Again/m-p/2887243/highl...
Be aware that this only accounts for one-way communication. If you were to both have your video on at the same quality the figure would double. If your student only has audio engaged then you would only add 25 minutes of "äudio" to gauge an approximation. Since Skype is "automatic" call quality can go up or down. Netlimeter or it's equivalent is the only real way to lower the video quality other than using a much lower resolution camera.
In regards to your ISP's "video conferencing" calculation, it's not pulled out of a hat. It appears to be calculated off a total video conferencing rate of 384k which is generally at a CIF/SIF resolution (~352x288 or lower). Skype's video quality operates at a higher rate that even supersedes their 90-minute movie estimate they provided as well. If you were to compare either a 90-minute DVD quality video or a 90-minute Blu-ray quality video the bandwidth would of course be surpassed as well as downloaded/watched movies vary in quality as well.
I believe the average amount of bandwidth consumption for typical households can be upwards of 150-300+ Gigabytes a month. Low metered accounts are generally for mobile devices or people who don't plan to use the Internet beyond basic web searching and e-mail. I personally would use a plan like that to get Internet in remote places but I wouldn't plan to do anything beyond the basics.
In regards to overage of bandwidth consumption ISPs either:
1. Terminate the data service for the month when exceeded
2. Charge you overage charges at a set cost per MB or GB.
3. Allow you to continue to use the service but cap your Internet speed to twice that of dial-up (115kbp/s) or possibly even lower.

How do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full

how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!

When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.

Hello USME,
'Tis a common problem on old Macs.
Do as Allan says: open the door and blow out all the dust bunnies. Canned air from Wal-Mart or Radio Shack can be handy (though sort of expensive) especially for blowing through the back of the power supply. A cool Mac is a happy Mac.
Be sure your Mac can breathe. The air intake is on the bottom of the case, so be sure a deep pile rug or too many papers on your desk are not blocking the air supply.
Feel the power supply and the processor with your hand. They should be warm but not hot; if you have to move your hand away, that's too hot!
Check the fan on the power supply, and on the processor if it has one. Take a flashlight and peer in the back of the (Mac) case through the grille; make sure the fan is turning. If it's not, the power supply won't work for long.
Fans are not considered serviceable, though they will succumb to mechanics of determination. A CPU fan is easy and straightforward.
A fan replacement will not cure an already damaged power supply; the PS may already be done for. Used power supplies for a DA are hard to come by, and not especially cheap when found (c.$50). An entire working DA or Quicksilver may often be found for under $100 on eBay, and swapping in your HD is easy and simple... this might be cheaper and more expeditious than repairing an expired DA. Replacing a power supply is fairly easy, but it's a nuisance and requires a 2mm Allen head wrench in addition to the usual #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
In my experience, power supplies and CPUs are about equally likely to fail. There are a few other possibilities, but they are not nearly so common.
Good luck!... Jon

That is a verification code, supplied via google if you have signed up for the WebMaster Tools:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
It allows you to check some stats etc., once you have added the verification code to your page.
The only other Meta Tags you really need to use are the <Title> tag and the Description tag.
The rest of SEO is making sure that the web pages are SE friendly. Not many SEs take into account all those meta-tags these days.
Make sure that keywords are scattered through the pages, make sure that the <h1> and <h2> heading tags use words that are important to site as they help with SEO as well.
SEO can't be mastered in a day - there are people that do this full time and even they are constantly learning new ways to ensure good rankings in the SEs. :- ) It's not dificult, but does take persistence !

Data used for BAM

I would like to use the data used for BAM, for other reporting purposes. Where can I find the data like instances completed, active instances, approved instances, decline instances, etc.

If you look at the Workbench interface (http://localhost:8080/bam/login/workbench.htm) you can see the SQL code the views use to create the graphics.
That might be a good starting point.

Can Firefox Hello be used for three or more way calling or is it only for person to person?

hello again, i've asked in the development channel for firefox hello about this issue: multiparty video-conferencing is on the long-term roadmap but it might still take a lot of engineering (firefox hello is based on the webrtc standard which is a peer-to-peer protocol between two machines only - multiparty calls might be a rather tricky thing to figure out on this basis)

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date?

Can anyone confirm the date used for pushing the data into AR interface table? Is it abse don Actual ship date or scheduled ship date? We are facing a scenario where trx date is lower than the actual ship to which logically sounds incorrect.
Appreciate any quick response around this.

Hi,
Transaction date will be your autoinvoice master program submission level date (If you haven't setup any logic.
Please check the program level default date, if user enter old date ststem will pick the same.
Customer is trying to set the value of the profile OM:Set receivables transaction date as current date for non-shippable lines at the responsiblity level. System does not set the transaction date to current date in ra_interface_lines_all.
CAUSE
Customer has used the functionality in R11i. But after the upgrade to R12, the system functions differently than R11i.
SOLUTION
1.Ensure that there are no scheduled workflow background process run.
2.Set the profile "OM: Set Receivables Transaction Date as Current Date for Non-Shippable Lines" at Responsibility level only as Yes.
3.Now switch the responsibility to which the profile is set.
4.Create order for Non-Shippable Lines and progress it to invoicing.
5.Ensure that the 'workflow background process' concurrent program is run in the same responsibility and this line is considered in it.
6.Now check if the 'SHIP_DATE_ACTUAL' is populated to ra_interface_lines_all

How can I prevent iTunes from opening when Firefox is open, when the computer is not used for a few minutes?

iTunes opens on my screen if Firefox is on, with page minimised or with current page open, if I do not use the machine for a few minutes. I can't find anything to turn this off.

When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
"You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

Economical data use for US LG G2 in Canada?

I rely on my smart phone for Internet and e-mail access. I never get anywhere close to the max at home. Since the LG G2 does not have a removable SIM card, as far as I know, what is the most economical way to use the phone for data (as opposed to texting) when traveling in Canada?
It looks like roaming charges for calls are .89 a minute. No way around that?
Can the LG G2 be used as a hotspot?

THANKS! I never realized that. So does anyone know if it is more economical to purchase a sim card in Canada as oppposed to buying the Global Plan from Verizon?

As mentioned by Linc there is no 'lights out' management for the Mac mini (or any current Mac). If the Mac is still running you can initiate a reboot via the GUI or commandline. If however it is completely crashed then there is a solution you could consider which is to get a managed power distribution strip. With this the power strip has its own network connection and lets you remotely turn off (and on) individual power sockets. This would then let you 'hard reboot' the Mac mini even if crashed.

CPUA Fail light comes on then mac freezes. Can still boot and use for a few minutes.

I have a first gen Mac Pro (2006) which has been working fine until a week or two ago. I have this computer set up with boot camp to run both OSX and Windows. I can boot into either os and run for between 2 and 5 minutes before the computer locks up and the fans turn on full blast. Generally when the computer locks up there are some significant graphical artifacts (the GFX output kind of tears horizontally across the screen then stops.).
Due to the graphics issue, I originally thought this might be a problem with my gfx card (ATI Radeon HD 5770). I pulled the side of the case off and booted the computer up. All fans, including that on the GFX card are running normally. What I did notice was that when the computer locked up, two CPUA lights lit up on the mobo. I pulled the gfx card out and booted the computer again. After around 10 minutes the fans switched into high gear, but the problem led did not light up.
Does anyone have any ideas? Since the fans are kicking into high gear after a while even without the gfx card, I don't think the gfx card is necessarily the issue. Would appreciate a second opinion.

AppleCare has long since run out on this unit so I'm more likely to replace it rather than repair. Would the logic board error still let it boot up and function fine for a period of time? Just trying to get a good understanding here before I give up on this computer.

How Much Data Used for Hulu, ABC, NBC?

Can anyone point me to somewhere where it specifies generally how much data is used streaming video?
I normally use the NBC and ABC apps and Hulu+ but have always done so on Wifi. Now I have a new 4G LTE iPad so am wondering how much data certain things take on average.
Wondering how many MB a 1/2 hour or hour TV show is.

How to loop through dates using For Loop?

Hi All,
I assume the For Loop is the best way to loop through days in a date range, but I can't figure out how to add a day in the "AssignExpression" box. The following gets the errors "The expression contains unrecognized token 'DAY'",
and "Attempt to parse the expression 'DATEADD(DAY, 1, @CounterPlayer)' failed and returned error code 0xC00470A4."
InitExpression: @CounterPlayer = @DownloadFileDatePlayer
EvalExpression: @CounterPlayer <= @Today
AssignExpression: @CounterPlayer = DATEADD(DAY, 1, @CounterPlayer)
I need to step through days, not through files. What am I doing wrong here? I changed "DAY" to "Day," but that didn't fix it.
Thanks,
Eric

DOH! It just needed properly placed quotes. Here's the answer:
AssignExpression: @CounterPlayer = DATEADD("DAY", 1, @CounterPlayer)
