Get back in the game - Fix your privacy settings

As the title says. There simply is not enough choice in what i can hide and what is publicly displayed on my profile. This needs to be addressed. I would like to hide both my birth day and my last name for privacy reasons and this currently cannot be done. Several times i have also attempted to remove them completely from my profile, I always get a nice "your preferences have been saved etc" but it never sticks. When i reset my birthday to "day" "month" "year" and click ok, as to take them off my profile, no matter what, the next time i log in sure enough they're back. I cannot remember if giving the details of my name and age was mandatory, which is fine, because i can 'trust' a large enough company as yourself not to sell them out to frauds and id thefts, but having them always publicly available is simply.... stupid. So please Skype, fix your privacy service.

What platform(s) (Windows, Mac ....) are you using Skype on? Removing my birthdate from profile worked fine for me on Windows and Windows Phone. Are you logged in from multiple devices at the same time?

  • Best Way To Get Back In The Game

    Hello All,
    I am at a point where I need to re-train myself to get marketable again.  I have been out of the SQL Server arena since 2009.  At that point I was supporting a large SQL Server 2000 environment.  I have been a DBA my entire career so
    I know I can come up to speed quickly.    
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for training alternatives, either online or at a facility.  I live in West Palm Beach.  I feel at this point I really need to get a Microsoft Certification.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
    Thanks.

    In addition to
    MS certification, you need hands-on experience.   Purchase (around $50) a copy of SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition:

    Start training from books, videos & online. Always (always!!!) practice along on your own copy of SQL Server.

    Hello SBentley22,
    I can only imagine how upset I would be to discover that over $1000 in gift card funds seemed to be missing. I certain that I would not do well with the additional complications that you've described either. I apologize for you and your boyfriend having to cope with this situation. Certainly this was never our goal.
    I was unable to locate the purchases or returns that you mention using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed. I would very much like to look into this situation for you and do what I can to help, but I will need more information to begin. If you will please send me a private message that includes your full name, telephone number, and the Customer Service PIN from the receipt where the gift card was issued, I'll get started with my research.
    Please know that I'm extremely grateful that you took the time to bring your situation to our attention. I look forward to hearing from you.
    Sincerely,

  • Ever since I got the "new & improved" Firefox, I have had all kinds of problems the latest of which has left me without toolbars. How can I get back to the previous version?

    IS THIS A GAME?
    WHAT DETAILS DO YOU NEED?
    THE COMPUTER HAS WORKED FINE
    WITH THE OLD MOZILLA FIREFOX
    FOR YEARS.
    NO CHANGES HERE IN ANYTHING ELSE.

    Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>
    * Fun Web Products Plugin<br><br>
    * My Web Search<br><br>
    Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
    Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
    If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
    #In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''".<br><br>
    #Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".
    Just in case you weren't aware of it, you can right click the Back or Forward buttons to get a list of sites visited. If you'd like to see the return of the arrow on the Back button, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Last but not least, some of your plugins are seriously out of date which exposes your system to exploits. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

  • Can't get back to the finder - driving me crazy

    I'm using Safari. I close the Safari window and click on the desktop to get the Finder - I'm still in Safari.
    I try to access the Finder by clicking on the Finder icon in the dock - no good, still in Safari.
    I use Command-Tab to select the Finder - no good, still in Safari.
    This happens often with Preview and Mail as well. After rummaging around awhile I can get back to the Finder, but this is a very big annoyance. And it seems to be getting worse.
    Is this a known problem / bug in Leopard? Anyone else experiencing it? Any fix?

    Donnie,
    Did you attempt to reboot your Mini?
    Did you repair permissions?
    Did you try those applications in another account?
    Did you try to refresh the finder plist file? If not, you may want to refresh the Finder plist file by dragging the com.apple.finder.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and reset your settings in Finder>Preferences...>General.

  • When upgrading I didn't back up games and all my characters lost. This was quite a lot of money. How do I get back my original game?

    When upgrading I didn't back up games and all my characters lost. This was quite a lot of money. How do I get back my original game?

    You don't have the game or the game data?
    Games can be redownloaded in the App Store app. If the game offers in-app purchases, there is a setting in the game that allows you to redownload past purchases.
    If you haven't back up, my first question is why? Even if you get the game back, your progress may not be retained. You may still have hope if the developers save your user progress either on their serers or in Game Center. You can only try and hope that is the case.

  • How do I get back to the first page of an application when I'm in the middle of it?

    I'm sure there's an easy answer for this, but I can't find it.  If I'm in the middle of an application, say iBook, and I want to get back to the first page of that application, how do I do it?  When I tap on HOME, I go back to the home page with all the icons.  I want to go to another page within the application I'm in?  I've been stuck in iBook for an hour.....I don't know how to get back to the first page in that application.  Thanks.

    The shelves should show the ibooks that you've got in the app i.e. your downloaded purchases from the iBookstore. At the top of the shelves there should also be a Store button (for browsing, purchasing, re-downloading books from the iBookstore), and Collections (where any PDFs that you've synced/copied into the app go).
    There is a chapter on the iBooks app in the manual, which can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

    I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

    I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
    So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
    Anything else you can tell us that might help?

  • I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section.  How do I get there, nothing is working.

    The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
    If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
    If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
    The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button.

  • Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

    Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

    Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
    If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
    If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
    I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

    When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • Ipod touch 5 - when in song suffle mode, a random album will suddenly appear on the screen and then it is difficult to get back to the song that is playing

    Just "upgraded" to a new ipod touch 5th generation after previously using various ipod classics.  So I am not familiar with all the ins and outs of the device.  One thing that I have a problem with is the fact that there does not seem to be a simple way, while in shuffle mode to quickly move to the next song or back to the prior song.  But forgetting that for a moment, here is my problem and I am trying to figure out if it is a bug or simply some kind of "feature" of the ipod touch that I don't get.
    I am playing music...in song - shuffle mode.  All of a sudden, instead of the particular song that is playing, a different album shows up on the screen.  Meanwhile, the original song keeps playing.  When this happens, sometimes that album then starts playing and sometimes I am able to move the ipod touch in various directions and I can get back to the song that I was originally playing.  Any idea what is happening here and how to stop it?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
