How does skype contact customers and how do you re...

Hi
I recieved an IM from some one claiming to be from the "awards team" at skype, they are not on my contacts list and im 99 % sure its a scam since according to your privacy policy skype only contacts users via email, mobile or for gaining call quality information and the fact that they're offering $800 000 for a compertition i was never aware that was happering. How can i report it to inform skype that its a scam specificly?
Thanks

Hi, ErinLouise, and welcome to the Community,
You are right to be suspicious! Skype corresponds only via an account's registered e-mail address. You may report this scam to Skype via e-mail: [email protected]
Be sure to Block and Report as Abuse/Spam the contact who sent this as well as any future, similar contact requests, which initially look like instant messages.
Regards,
Elaine

Why does skype steal customers' time?
It is hard to find contact email on skype webpage.
Change Skype Premium settings <-- This link does not work!!
I had spent about 3 hours to cancel my subscription but couldn't.
Really skype is a reliable company? Absolutely NO I think.
They made me angry!!!

Hi,
I understand you are upset and if you still have trouble cancelling your Skype Premium subscription then you can contact customer service as explained here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/How-can-I-contact-Skype-Customer-Service
Most of Skype pages have header menu that includes link "Support"
If you click on it then you will be taken to support site that provides solutions to most common questions. Millions of customers use it every single day and find their answer without the help from customer service.
If you don't find an answer from there then all you need to do is search "customer support" and first link you get is: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/How-can-I-contact-Skype-Customer-Service

How much info about the cache-cluster does the client have and What would you recommend about putting the cluster behind virtual ip

Hi,
I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason.

I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\

How do you record addresses for a group in contacts?

How do you record addresses for a group in contacts?

You can't create groups in the contacts app and even if you create a group in icloud.com, the group is useless for email purposes on the iPad. At least I have never been able to get the groups that I create in icloud.com to appears as options for emailing.
There are third party apps that will let you do this.
MailShot
http://solubleapps.com/mailshot/
Group Email with Attachments
http://www.redbits.com/iphone/groupemail/
There is also a workaround where you type all of the email addresses that you want to create a group for in the Notes app separated by a comma,between each address. Copy and paste that one long "email address" in the contacts app and name it whatever you like. Select that as your group when you want to send the group email.
I Haven't done the workaround in ages, so experiment with it first. You may need to leave a space after the comma before you start trying the next email address.

I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up. Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later. I have not seen a solution posted. Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem? I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Hi iv added iCloud to my iphone5 and by doing so I've now lost all contacts, photos and also my iMessage please can someone help me to restore my phone back to how it was before doing this? I went to backup and chose wrong backup date and I'm now stuck. This is driving me mad PLEASE someone help??

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

How do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

how do i recover my purchased movies on itunes. the icloud does not show them and i have contacted apple twice before about this issue

Not all movies qualify for download on demand from iTunes in the Cloud, the rights may be reserved by the content provider and can vary by region. What response have you had from iTunes Store support?
If you have still have the computer they were on it might be possible to extract the hard drive, mount it in an external drive bay and recover the content from it.

Does the camera work on my macair and how do you set it up in Skype

how do you get the camera on my mac air to work in skype

Assuming you have a mid-2013 MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.5, this is a known issue. See:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/OS-X-10-8-5-broke-Video-on-MacBook-Air/td-p/18 91729/page/2
If you scroll forward a couple of pages in the above blog and are technically inclined, you will find a temporary workaround involving replacing the AppleCamera plugin while a more permanent solution is found.

My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

How does skype work

skype is new to meso how does things work????

Hey, i.p-13-4-1994, and welcome to Skype!
Skype works like a telephone on your computer!You can call someone and start a call with someone else's computer or Skype software for free or call someone's phone number for a nice, low rate!You can be called by someone on your computer!You can be a part of a conference call without the hassle of fees, connection numbers, PIN numbers, etc.You can stay silent and type and exchange messages to one another. You can show and tell some photos or send some files to others.You can show your face and turn a mundane voice call into an exciting video call!So what else would you like to know? You can go ahead and ask questions like "How do I add a contact?" or "How do I start a call?" Perhaps you would like to know "How much does it cost to call my friend's mobile phone in Singapore?" or "How do you use Skype WiFi?" All are great questions, so what would you like to know?

How does Skype handle abuse

I was subjected to the most vile, unsolicited, aggressive and violent verbal sexual abuse by a Skype member I have never met. He even dragged my family into his tirade. This was brought on while discussing some work he wanted to do for me which I was not all that receptive to.
I wrote to Skype support who explained how to block him. I have deleted him, but still have his posts as evidence.
It's all good and well to block someone, but what is Skype prepared to do about this illegal activity? Surely Skype will not just turn a blind eye while putting all the onus on the victim and allow them to continue using their account unpunished, because that would be condoning their actions.
I am still shaken from this horrific experience. Anyone who read the posts would immediately see that this is one dangerous and sick individual.

How do you get a list of your contacts nick names and their phone numbers on line and print them out? I've been trying to figure out how to get the list to print out but I can't even find a complete list to view on Verizon's web site. Does anyone know how to do this?

Log into your online account. In the, 'I want to', box type, Manage Contacts.
