Why i am unable to use skype from my sony xperia c3 dual phone.help me as soon as possible.

i was using skype from my mobile phone and it was really good but few days i was unable to use skype.i face lot of problem.please help me as soon as possible.

Sounds like your iPhone was unofficially unlocked by hacking it. You need to call AppleCare, tell them you only want to know which cell carrier your iPhone is locked to and give them the model and serial number. Then contact that cell carrier and see what their official unlock policy is and if you qualify.

Ipod mini troubles: Help Needed

I really need help with ipod mini troubleshooting..
I've had my Ipod mini for about 3 years now and lately have been running into a few problems.
In the past few months:
-My Ipod's "battery meter" has been acting really strange, one second it may be reading as 3/4 full, and the next it shuts down saying that my battery has depleted, then a few minutes later it will be reading full again. And just to let you know, I always charge it overnight to avoid having a dead battery, and I always make sure to properly shut it off using "hold".
Resetting my ipod works sometimes, but other times doesn't..
Yesterday:
My Ipod is no longer responding at all, and I'm pretty sure I know why: Some careless person spilled some water near and on my ipod, I dried it off as soon as I could. It was working properly shortly afterwards, but a few hours later, it shut off saying that the battery was dead again, and a picture of a "cartoon ipod" with dead eyes("XX") appeared on my screen, and it said under the picture to go to "www.apple/support/ipod". This was when it wasn't connected to a power source. When I connected my ipod to my computer via USB, my itunes does not recognize that it is connected ("Do not disconnect" does not appear on my ipod) and a picture of a "dead battery" has appeared on my screen, it is not in the "recharging mode" either (with the picture of the battery moving).
I tried re-setting it numourous times, and always end up with either the "dead battery" picture, or the "dead cartoon ipod" picture on it.
Help would be greatly appreciated, as I use my ipod everyday for school and leisure.
Thanks.

I've tried that several times without luck.

Ipod Touch: My Issues, help needed as fast as possible

Well recently i got an Ipod Touch 2nd Generation for christmas, and i must say i love it. But i have got some serious problems. 1) all applications that were not standard on the itouch crash unexpectedly and the only way to rectify this issue is to download something from the app store and they work again :S. Yes that is as bizarre as it sounds. Sometimes it will work fine and i can use any of my apps whenever i like. But frequently(more frequently as time goes on) the applications dont open, i touch them they open the background for the app and they take me back to the main screen. I have tried the following: reseting the iPod, restoring it to factory settings, uninstalling apps and then re-installing and this issue is resolute. I also happen to know that some other 2nd Generation Touch owners at my school have the very same issue. I have seen some threads dotted about explaining their issues that are similar to this, meaning its fairly widespread.
My second issue is really bugging me, i opened the itunes store for the first time on my iPod(i never get any of my music from itunes normally i detest the application.) and all of a sudden it downloaded a podcast without me telling it to. It was called Podhead: The DoorWhores Off to vegas. This is something i really do not wish to have on my iPod. So i synced it to my windows OS and tried to re-sync the iPod's podcasts with my library so that it would dissappear. But it didn't, i then tried setting it to manually putting files on my ipod and alas it doesnt show up in the podcasts sub section of the device. I tried playing the podcast and it takes me to the home screen of my ipod with the Play triangle flickering constantly in the top right of my ipod. I don't know what is going on with that but i havnt restored it to factory settings after this issue, mainly because my iPod refuses to accept that i own all of the apps i have backed up and i have no desire to manually re-download them to my ipod.
3) That last scentence brings me nicely onto my final problem which is this: my computer tells me that i do not have the authority to put onto my ipod. Despite all of them being free and despite all of them having being backed up from my ipod.
Any help with these issues would be much appreciated. I am in desperate need of assistance before i come to the end of my tether and resign myself to a long trip to the nearest apple store. thanks in advance

Did you try to restore your iPod to factory settings and add your apps one by one to find out which app causes the crash? Try not to restore from a backup it may contain the corrupt parts you don't want to install again.

Ipod touch itunes help needed.

After install my latest purchase disappeared from my music. I tried going to the iTunes app and redownloading it but when I clicked on the cload symbol it just said already downloaded. No problem I thought so I loaded iTunes on my Mac and tried to transfer it that way. I get the copying to my ipod come up for the correct amount of songs but it still doesn't show at all on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Btw I can still play the album in iTunes on my mac fine.

Error while running disco report (Help needed urgent)

Hello All,
When i am running a disocoverer report i am getting the following error.
ORA-01840 input value not long enough for date format
ORA-02063 preceding line from prod
The data retrieved by the query is incomplete because it was canclled?
Kind Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar
It sounds like you could be trying to use the TO_DATE function and are either passing to it a value that is doesn't understand or you have not defined the format mask. Only if the string being converted is already in the database date format you do not need to provide a format mask. In all other cases you do.
For example, if your database format is DD-MON-YYY then this is valid: TO_DATE('01-OCT-2009')
However, if your format is something like 10/01/2009 you will have to tell Discoverer how the date is made up. In this particular case the answer would be: TO_DATE('10/01/99','MM/DD/YY')
You should notice how the format mask is included in single quotes and separated from the date itself by a comma.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

The biggest problem in your code is architectural. You need to learn about a few things like event-driven programming. As but one example you have an administrative operations VI that would be much smaller and much more efficient if it were built around an event structure and not multiple case statements. Your main application uses sequence structures - which are never necessary. As I recall, the last sequence structure I used in deliverable code was in the spring of '88.
You also are not handling any of errors - which I suspect might be the source of your problem. It's possible that due to an error (which is going unreported) that a connection is being left open when you think it is being closed. But at this point that is just a guess.
Fix the structural problems and you'll then be able to troubleshoot your DB problem. Shoot, in the process of fixing the structural issues, you may fix the DB!

MAJOR iPod/iTunes/Computer Help Needed

Ok heres the problem. I get a virus on my comp awhile back, so i have to System Recovery on my comp. Iv had viruses and done this system recovery to my comp many times. And every time i get it working after the system recovery my iTunes wont work, also meaning the iPod cant get hooked up and upload music, it gives me the whole "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. sorry for the inconvenience" crap.
Iv had this problem many times before, and it usually takes me awhile of just doing random **** for it to work, but lately iv had diff. **** going on so i couldnt work on it, but i tried earlier today to fix it.
I always remembered downloading a new iTunes from Apple.com, and after doing some **** installing that and it working, just having to update/install the iPod.
Thing is i cant remember all i did to get the new iTunes to install. Right now i have tried deleting all the "corrupt" iTunes files & stuff, and installing the new iTunes, but no luck, still not working.
If anybody can help it would be great, if u need to ask me a question about it, hit me on a PM.
thanks alot for any help.

For your itunes folder 'You' are the owner.
It should read: 'Owner: YourLoginname'. If it's not, click on the little padlock symbol and change it to the name you use to log in.
You normaly don't have to change ownership at 'Group' (which at my computer says 'staff') and 'Others', but you can change it to 'Read & Write'.
Below 'Others' (just above the 'Comments:' pane) there should be a button 'Apply to enclosed items...'

Unknown Error (1418), iPod 3rd Generation help please!

So I bought a fantastic old school retro iPod 3rd Generation and I love it!
It plays fine, syncs music and all, but only through USB 2.0 (and doesn't charge!). It takes iTunes ages to recognize the iPod with Firewire. And I wish it would be quicker!
So I tried to restore it, only to get the (1418) Error. Don't worry I've read all the different forums, but still can't seem to find a solution because the fixes only seem to work on XP. Could someone please shed some light? I love the thing!
Cheers!

Hello shibby999955,
Iknow you mentioned that you have done quite a bit of research on it already, but have you had a chance to work through the troubleshooting solutions, provided in this Apple support document?
[Error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436 or 1439: Cannot restore or update iPod in iTunes 7 or later|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372?viewlocale=en_US]

Skipping Problem and Ipod acting Strange

I brought an Ipod Video 30GB in march 2006
Recently it has started having the following problems
*it started freezing up in the middle of playing.
*It has also stopped loading tracks. It'll bring up the screen for the next track, sit there for a couple seconds with the track on 0:00 and then go on to the next track (without playing it either, on and on).
*The drive emits strange whirring sounds like a Hard disk being struck or like a CD drive trying to read a faulty CD but of course on a smaller scale
*sometimes when i try to switch it on it freezes with the apple icon
*it gets struck in the middle of a song and keeps continously replaying the little bit over and over again
I've been restarting it four or five times a day at work, mostly for the freezes. After a restart, it's good for an hour or two, then POW.
I have tried every trick in the book,like updating,resetting,formatting and restoring
I tried taking it to the apple service centre and they claim there is nothing wrong.
Now what am i to do???
Should i sell it off and buy a new one or can this problem be solved??

IPod Acting Strange When Connected To Windows / Songs Also Cut Short

Hi,
I am using the latest iTunes version with Vista and have an 80Gb iPod Video.
In the last few weeks, I rebuilt my PC from scratch.
I currently have some problems with my iPod and would be most grateful if someone could please assist me. Here’s the details….
Whenever I connect my iPod to my PC, I get a Windows message popping up asking if I want to “Scan and Fix”. Any ideas why this is happening and how this should be resolved? I also find that when ejecting the iPod in iTunes, I still can’t remove it until I go into Explorer and select Safely Remove. Could this be a driver problem – how can I be sure to be using the correct driver for my iPod?
Also, when the iPod is playing (not connected to computer), some songs are cut short. There doesn’t appear to be any pattern to which ones cut. They play ok in iTunes.
Finally, is there something (apart from un-ticking the Enable Disk Use check box in iTunes) that you need to do to get an iPod out of disk mode. Mine was in disk mode a few weeks ago, but since then I have done a restore and the check box is no longer ticked – does a restore / reset take the iPod out of disk mode? – (I originally put it in disk mode to try and do a defrag). Since the iPod still appears in Windows Explorer, I was wondering if it is in fact still in disk mode (even although according to iTunes, it isn’t).
I have tried all the reset stuff, but still no joy!
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
Neil

Music dissapeared, ipod acting weird - HELP

Ok so i came home today and decided to add an album to my Ipod. I hooked it up and transfered. Great. So then i tried to listen to some music and i discover its EMTY, at least i couldnt see any songs! not an album, artist playlist or song! nothing! But it still says im using space on my pod.
I tried a reset... twice, no go. Then i followed a friend's advice and tried to do a restore. I opened up Ipod updater and clicked restore, the little bar comes up as if its going to do it and then it dissapears and in its place i get a lovely error message which says "Firmware update failure. Disk write error."
And now i cant even access my Ipod any more!! when i unhook it from my PC and turn it on i get a little folder picture on my screen. OMG.
Some help would be.. very very appreciated.
Thank you

Call up Apple customer support on the phone since your iPod comes with a one-year warranty. 1-800-SOS-APPL From the sound of it, your iPod's hard drive is physically damaged.
