How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7

How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7 because nothing I've found here on forums works!

Yea sorry not everyone has $10 to just flush down the drain. The ads are unblievably obnoxious and ridiculous and enough to make me move everyone over to Aim or yahoo.
As for the OP, it seems like generally the same method that may work for one person wont work for another so I'd suggest googling around if the posted answer doesn't work and just try them all.

How to disable auto-submit in address bar?

since a few weeks i have a problem with safari.
sometimes when i type an URL in the adress bar safari auto-completes AND auto-submits it.
for example i type in the adress bar "dis" (because i want to visit discusion.apple.com) but
then safari auto-completes it to "disco.com" and immediately submits it (without me hiting enter).
the auto-completion isnt the problem - i like it and it's a must have but
the auto-submit is very annoying.
does anyone know which settings i have to make to fix this? or any workaround?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the errant extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Andr...

Dear Skypers,
How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Android phones?
The guide on this following support page not working anymore: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12359/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-status-icon-in-skype-4-for-a...
Older version has the option to disable Skype Status and get rid of the Skype icon on Android status bar. But latest 4.4.0.31835 could not disable Skype Status in notifications settings. :/
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android: 4.3 JWR66Y
Skype: 4.4.0.31835
Please bring back the option to disable the Skype icon on Android status bar. This is the main reason I uninstall Skype. :/
Kudos to the team, the apps is really smooth and fluid to use. Would be nice if you guys are following the Android Design Principles and using Google Cloud Messaging for push notification to improve User Experience and battery life.
Kind regards,

everytime i get ahead, i feel more dead.
Solved!

how to get rid of skype icon on android status bar.png ‏46 KB

Long click on this notification a sub menu having field "App info" would appear goto App Info. You can goto there by "Manage Apps">"Skype" also.
Uncheck Option "Show Notifications" A dialog will open. Don't worry about notifications for now just click OK. Now the notification icon skype has also been removed.
Now simply check "Show notification again". After doing this you would get notifications but skype icon would not be shown in the status bar anymore.
Issue: this is just a trick you need to repeat this every time sign out and sign in again. Mostly you don't do that so no need to worry.

How Do I Close My Skype Account?

Dear Readers,
This question is asked a lot here in the Community, particularly on this message board. Perhaps this topic added here will be helpful.   This FAQ article explains the process of how to remove your Skype account (the blue type is actually a "link" to the FAQ article): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/how-do-i-close-my-skype-account
First, remember to cancel all active subscriptions. If you think you might be entitled to a refund, please see this FAQ to determine this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12147/when-can-i-get-a-refund?
Second, remove any saved payment methods from your account dashboard.
Third, remember to change the account status or presence setting to "offline." For your convenience, an abridged version of the FAQ article's text - specific only to removing a Skype account - is copied and pasted below:
How do I close my Skype account?
If you want to close your Skype account, you’ll need to contact us so we can close it for you.
First, make sure you’ve cancelled any subscriptions or recurring payments, and used up any Skype Credit you have. Everything associated with your Skype account – including contacts, purchases and history – will be lost when your account is closed.
Next, contact Skype Customer Service and tell us you’d like to close your account.
It might take up to 30 days for your name to disappear from the directory, but after that, no one will be able to find you in Skype. Your name will still appear in your friends’ contact lists unless they remove it, but they won’t be able to contact you.
In the meantime, you can remove your personal information from your profile to prevent people from finding you based on those details.
Remove your profile information
This will make it more difficult for people to find you in the Skype directory. You can remove or edit all of your details except for your Skype Name.
To remove your profile information:
Change your profile picture and mood message.
If you have a profile picture that identifies you, you might want to change it. In Skype, click Skype > Profile > Change Your Picture… (on a Mac, click your profile picture and then Change Picture) and browse for a different picture.
You can leave a status message saying you’re no longer active on Skype, or giving your new Skype Name if you’re using a different account. Go to Skype > Profile > Edit Your Profile… and then click Enter mood message. (On a Mac, click your name or profile picture and then click Add Mood Message.)
Sign out of Skype.
It’s a good idea to set your status to offline or invisible, and then sign out of Skype on all your devices. Type the chat command /remotelogout into the chat window to sign yourself out of Skype on any other devices you might be using, then sign out on the one you’re using now.
Go to your account.
Sign in to your account on skype.com
Can’t sign in? Find out what to do if you’ve forgotten your username or password.
Go to your profile.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under Settings and preferences, click Edit profile.
Edit your profile details.
In the Personal Information section, click Edit.
Remove your information from the Personal Information and Contact Details sections. Some fields are mandatory - replace the info in these with random characters, because you won’t be able to save it if the fields are empty. Click Save.
Please remember this is a one-time request which cannot be reversed.
One more point to keep in mind: removing your account from the Search Directory will not "pull," "remove," "delete," or "retract" instant messages or file transfers that you have previously sent to your contacts. Your account name will still appear on their contact lists, although they will no longer be able to contact you using the account name you have requested be removed.
The last step of the process is to file your request to remove your account with Skype Customer Service.   This final and required step in the process is often overlooked, and we here in the Community are not authorized to process service requests. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of sporadic website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, disabling browser add-ins that might disable pop-up dialog boxes, and temporarily enabling pop-up dialog boxes may help get you through to Skype Customer Service. If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser.
Look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
Best regards,
Elaine

How can I change my Skype email notifications to E...

My email notifications from Skype are received in Spanish, apparently because I live in a Spanish-speaking country (Panama). Since I do not speak nor read Spanish, it would be greatly appreciated if these notifications could instead come in English. My account is set up with English as the language and Skype works just fine that way. The problem is that whenever I receive a notice via email from Skype, it is in Spanish. Is there a way to change that?

I will try writing Customer Service, thanks for the idea. I'd like to reply to the following message which came to my email address, but has yet to show up here, to say that there does not appear to be any option regarding "language" in the Subscriptions & Bookmarks section.

How do I create a Skype Name in this new environme...

For a variety of reasons, I have created a new Microsoft Account. In attempting to set it up with Skype, I was never asked to create a Skype Name. This has created issues sining into Skype, as well as telling people how to Skype me. I do NOT want to give them my email address as my Skype contact. A Skype name is much more suited for this situation.
How do I create a Skype name that people can use to call me?
This beggs the question of why Loging into Skype and idnetification is co complicated. Associated with this one account there are the following methods of primary identification: Skype Name, Microsoft Account, Display Name, Skype Community Name, and there seems to be an additional display name for each Skype accont in the Community which begins with live: and then a modified form of the user's email address. That is A LOT to remember. I had a difficult time just logging in because it asks for my Skype name and the blank would not accept any of the aforementioned identifications. I had to get here by signing into Skype Desktop and then clicking a link to go through rather than signing in. The sign in would not accept my credentials.
Bottom line is all these issues would go away if I could figure out how to get a skype name.

HOW TO DISABLE THE VIEW OF CONTACT

Hi
I want to know how to disable contact view from a friend taking my phone
exemple : If I give my cell phone blackberry 9900 to a friend for 1 day, I want for him the possibility to answer phone call and see who is calling him ! ,
buy I want to disable any search in full contact list
how to do this ?
help,
mail me back

You cannot selectively lock the address book app. If all contacts are sync'd online you can delete the account. However, the all around better approach would be to backup the device and do a security wipe before loaning it.

How to disable App Caching in 10.9

Hi All,
As much as I think that the new memory management system in OS X 10.9 is a very nice idea, it really doesn't work for me because I have Virtual Machines stopping and starting and the despite the fact that they are only trying to pull 512MB each, the system just can't handle pushing that much to them.
Is there a way to disable this app/file caching and get back to something more to the style of the old memory management system - I really want to have FREE memory available for when I actually need it - I really don't care if free memory is wasted memory, free memory is what works for me
I have a Mid 2009 13" MBP with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't bear my system grinding to a halt with several servers running in the background - the sort of thing that it could handle just fine under 10.8 - also, downgrading is not an option for me!

Unfortunately, no - App Nap only applies to running applications, and saving processing power and thus energy, whereas the app preloading is all about being clever about which files are in use and keeping as many as possible crammed into the memory.
However, disabling app nap is a useful thing to know, thanks!

How to disable iMessage for a specific contact/How to unregister iMessage from former device

I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3. When my wife who still has an iPhone 4 tries to text me it still sends the message as an iMessage and I NEVER receive the text on my Galaxy S3. It still shows the little blue bubble next to my name when starting a new text thread. So I checked with about 4 other iPhone users that text me on a regular basis and I'm not receiving any of their messages either.
If the iPhone users turn off iMessage the text comes right through. However I dont expect all the iPhone users on my contact list to turn off the iMessage feature just so they can text me.
I no longer have my old iPhone. I traded it in at Best Buy so there's no way of going back in the phone to change any settings. The iPhone was wiped of all data and settings anyway before I traded it in.
I took my wifes iPhone and deleted my contact. Then I added it back. Still shows my name as iMessage. I took my e-mail address out of my contact entry on her phone and it still shows my name as iMessage.
I logged into "Apple Support - My Support Profile" to try to unregister my device as suggested in another forum but I can't get past the "enter your purchase date" page. It was a refurbished iPhone and the date I purchased the device didn't work. Theres no way I'll ever get the original purchase date since I wasn't the original buyer of that iPhone.
Any suggestions?? This is an urgent matter as I NEED to receive text messages from my wife and other iPhone users. My wife is willing to turn off iMessage on her iPhone but I don't expect everyone else to.
I need to find out how to unreigster my old iPhone completely from iMessage.... or find out how to disable a specific contact on my wife's iPhone from using iMessage.

If you still have an iPhone handy and have the SIM card you used for the phone, then temporarily put your SIM into the other phone and go into Settings and turn of iMessage. If not, the only alternative that I know of is the Support profile, However, you may what to search the More Like This section on the right side of the thread to see if any of the entries there have a green checkmark meaning they are answered.

Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?
Regards
Graham

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!
