How to force Skype to fetch new user name after re...

In Skype, there is an option to change the default user name to something meaningful to you. For example echo123 may be renamed from "Echo / Sound Test Service" to "Microphone check". But what if you want to get the old name back? Or what if the contact renamed his public name? How to fetch the new contact name?

right click then select rename. erase the old name then leave it blank. a new window will appear. delete the name again and leave it blank. After you click ok, the display name of that contact should revert to the original one.

HT3231 I ended up having to create a new user name because the migration assistant wouldn't let me put the data back onto my original user name. I now have to log into the new user name to see all my data, apps, photographs etc. What went wrong?

I have a Mac that was part of the recall involved with the faulty Seagate hard drives. The folks at the Apple Store near me changed the hard drive early December, 2012. I had my data, etc. all backed up on a portable hard drive. When the Mac was returned with the new hard drive, I used the Migration Assistant to bring everything back over. Trouble was, it wouldn't let me bring it over to my original user name. I was forced to create a new user name that became the place where everything was restored. I can't see any data on my old user name, just the basics. Everything is on the new user name but I wish I didn't have it (just want everything back the way it was originally). Any suggestions?

Probably the cleanest thing to do is to erase and freshly install the operating system on the new drive. Then, on the first boot up, don't create a new user, instead select the option in Setup Assistant to immediately bring things over from your backup, which you must connect via USB or firewire. Setup Assistant will then recretae your old user to look just like it used to.
Before doing this, make sure you realize you will lose everything on the new drive by erasing it, and make sure your backup is still viable.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

New user name palm centro

I have a new to me used Palm Centro that has the previous owners user name in it. How do I change it to mine user name so that I can sync it to my desktop? Thanks!!

You will have to erase the device via a Hard Reset.
Power the phone off, and remove the battery. Now hold the power button pressed and reinstall the battery.
Keep holding the button until you see the "Palm Powered" screen. Release the button.
At the "Erase all data, Y/N?" press the up direction to complete the task. The phone will reinstall all the stock apps and have no HotSync account.
Perform a HotSync and choose "Existing account" when asked by Palm Desktop. Choose your original account name.

A new user name showed up on my computer after a windows 8 update.

A new user name showed up on my computer after a windows 8 update. A name I do not know or recognize. After the update, the screen showed 2 users, myself and the name "John". it wasn't there yesterday, & I am the only user. I also bought the laptop new so it can't be a previous user. Can anyone tell me how to remove "John" from my computer. I am going to do a system restore & see if that works. In the meantime, if anyone has ever had this happen, what did you do?

How can I hide the password and user name in url???

Hi experts,
I'm creating a login page and know I have a problem.
The Username and password are verified in a Java class, after checking the user and password, the user should be linked to the portal.
So far everything has worked well.
But when I call the lin like this
res.sendRedirect ("/ irj / portal j_user =" + UserN + "& j_password =" + passw);
then the user name and Pwasswort appears in the url.
Can someone tell me how can I hide the password and user name???
It will be very helpful.
Thank you

If there is no specific reason that you have to use sendredirect...thne you can try request.forward.....
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("pathToResource");
rd.forward(request, response);

How do I change the color of the users name after they sign in?

I am trying to change the color of the users name after they have signed in on the top right hand corner. When you hove over the login it shows up "Welcome (Users name) Log Out", The "welcome" and "log out" are in white and I know how to change them, but trying to find out how to change the name so it appears a different color is getting the better of me. Please help.

Hi blackroseuk7,
You can use firebug to inspect the element to see what div to target and from there you can set the color with CSS.
Hope this helps!

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)
