How to get a Skype credit refund: my Mac is no lon...

Skype normally does not give refunds unless credit was purchased in the last 15 days. However, I can no longer use Skype credit because of Skype policy: Skype will not allow my Mac to connect, it has disabled by version of Skype.
I cannot upgrade (in spite of Skype's idiotic messages telling me to do so), because Skype no longer has software that works on My PowerPC Mac running Mac OS 10.4.
Skype's page on Mac OS 10.4 says to contact "customer service",
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34492/
but only provides a link to a page with the normal policy on refunds.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/
It's unfair to prevent me from using Skype, then prevent me from getting a refund on a credit Skype will not allow me to use.
How can I get a refund?

please contact Skype customer service
Have you ever read "Catch 22"? Or "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"? Or anything by Kafka?
Because telling anyone to contact Skype Customer Service is telling them to take a trip through the surreal, which will achieve nothing. It is essentially not possible to "contact Skype customer service". The closest I've gotten is an online chat with someone who would not read what I wrote (asking questions I'd already answered) and who ultimately said Skype policy prevented him from granting a refund.
So, Skype gets to take my money, but refuses to allow me to use its service, by disabling my software, and then refuses to refund my money.
I don't care what the terms of service say. Almost anyone would think that highly unethical, and many would consider it stealing.

  • How to get the latest credit limit values per each customer in the report.

    Hi All,
    Can anybody give me an idea on how to get the latest credit limit values per each customer in the report.
    I have below requiremnt.
    I have cube which is having transactional data on document and customer level .and it also having master data info object in the cube which is credit management view having all the customer numbers .
    This credit management view is master data info object having credit limit key figure as attribute.These credit limit are per each customer.
    So we need these credit limits in the report as dynamic values .(I mean whatever be the current credit limit in the master data table for that paricular customer that should show up in the reporting).
    one more thing these credit limits should roll up correctly at the HTR level.
    One HTR having number of customers .
    for example HTR 100 can have customer number 200,300,400.
    Those 200,300,400 customer credit limits should roolup correctly at the HTR 100 level.
    Example below :
    Cube DATA :
    HTR Customer Doct number Credit managment view
    100 200 10001 200
    100 200 10002 200
    100 300 10004 300
    100 300 10005 300
    100 400 10006 400
    100 400 10007 400
    100 400 10008 400
    Master data tabel (P Table)(Credit managment view)
    Credit managment view Credit limits
    200 1000.00
    300 50000.00
    400 90000.00
    Please remeber :
    We can not make these credit limits as navigational becasue these are keyfigure attributes not characteristics.
    one more thing we can not make them as charatistics because we need use these credit limits to derive other calkculation. so it is not possibel to derive calculations on charactristics .

    Create a formula variable of type replacement path with reference as attibutes of Credit management view and choose your key figure credit limit,say zcredit.
    Now create a formula or CKF and use zcredit.
    This should display the credit limit in your report as normal key figure.
    I didnot get this part "one more thing these credit limits should roll up correctly at the HTR level.", may be the above will solve this too.Try it.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do get my Skype call shown on Apple TV

    I was wondering how to have my Skype call shown on my appletv so everyone in the room can see.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need the code to turn of parental control, that's the purpose of it. If you can't remember it, you'll need to restore the Apple TV.

  • D-Link DCS 900W - how to get it to work on my Mac?

    i'm new to network cameras - but i need to set up a surveillance system in my home to monitor my home while i am away. i recently returned a D-Link DCS 950G because this latest model didn't work with any other browser but IE6. Now i've got a DCS 900W, and ancient model which took me 2 days of frantic phone calls to locate, because this model appears in the list for both Evocam and Security Spy.
    i am none the wiser on how to get it set up - i think i need to initialise it right (duh?)? and i am drowning in the sea!
    can any hero help this dumb maiden set up the network cameras from step one to hey presto?

    i'm a little crazy now... i've got 4 macs..
    1) problems setting up camera:
    i've tried to set up my camera to work with two of my macs but could only get it running on the powermac g4 (adsl modem Aztech305). i've tried to get it going on my iBook g3 (Linksys routerWRT54G) but to no avail. i tried the same things but still nothing happened in the iBook. i couldn't logon to the IP of my camera to set it up on the iBook but the powermac g4 was ok. my g4 has an adsl modem and uses a different internet service provider from my iBook which is hooked up to a wireless router using a network shared by my 2 other macs. i was hoping to get the camera running wirelessly (hence the 900W).
    2) with the camera set up & running on the powermac g4, i can view everything on the g4 of course, buti can't view it remotely from my other macs.
    i think i am doing something wrong here but i don't know what?

  • How to get musics from iPod back to mac, how to get musics from iPod back to mac

    how to get musics from my Ipod nano back to my mac ?
    I mean, using apple approved or suggested softwares.

    Hey there,
    There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes.
    There is a very direct method, which I personally prefer, but there are also numerous third party applications, which will help you accomplish the task as well. The link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method as well as a few third party applications if you choose to go that route instead.
    It would also be a good idea to re-authorize your computer if you have any purchases from the iTunes store. Hope this helps.

  • How to get SPSS 13 to open in Mac OS 10.5.8?

    I have a 1.8Ghz PowerPC G5 iMac that I want to run SPSS 13 on.  I have gotten it installed but when I try to launch the program but I just get the twirling beach ball for awhile followed by the error "The application SPSS 13 quit unexpectedly" and I can either ignore, report, or relaunch.  Doing some searching on line shows that people trying to run later versions of the software have problems because of Java.  If anyone has any ideas on how to get this to run it would be greatly appreciated.  It's just that I have a lot of SPSS files from a Windows machine (actually I only used this machine because I had a Stats class that required SPSS) and now I am just tired of it.  I'd rather use my old G5 to do the stats work than the Windows machine.

    Could any of these apply?
    Installation Restrictions
    Do not install the product if you use any applications, which extend standard Finder
    functionality (such as Path Finder, SNAX, etc.) If you already have some of these applications,
    disable them first, and then install SPSS 13 for Mac OS X. Installation may not be completed
    successfully if the name of any folder in the installation path exceeds 31 characters. This is due
    to a limitation of Installer VISE.
    Updating or Modifying Your Installation
    To add a component, start the installation program from your CD-ROM. Select any new
    components that you want to include. Make sure that every option you want to include is
    selected including any previously installed components. 
    To add an SPSS option (Categories, Conjoint, Tables, and so on), start the SPSS 13 License
    Renewal utility. If your license for SPSS Base or an SPSS option has expired you should run
    this utility and enter the new license(s).
    An installation log file is created in the  ~/Library/Logs folder of the destination volume. You
    may use the information in the log file to remove the installed copy of SPSS 13 for Mac OS X.

  • How to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 Mac version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video

    My question: Is it possible to get iMovie version 9.09/2009 MacBook Pro/ Mac Os X version 10.7.5 to recognize JVC GR-DX77U camcorder via 9 pin to 4 pin firewire and import video?
    My camcorder is recognized with 4 pin to 4 pin firewire on laptop with Windows operating system; however, it will not recognize on MacBook Pro with 9pin to 4 pin firewire. JVC website does not offer any updated camcorder driver software for this camcorder and older version driver on CD will not download onto MacBook Pro.

    Hi
    With the reservation of that I us:
    • iMovie 9.0.4
    • Mac OS X.6.9
    see my notes
    NO CAMERA or A/D-box 
    Cable
    • Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    • Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    • Is the dip-switches set right ?
    • Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    • Try resetting it
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    • FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    External device’s (hard disk’s)
    • Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited. No Camera or A/D-box
    • GarageBands fix - Close iMovie, Open GarageBand, Play some notes, Close GB and iMove can now be OK
    • Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    • White MacBooks - don't
    • MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    • Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    • Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    • If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    • Screen Saver - OFF
    • Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
    (HAS TO BE   Mac OS Extended   formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
    (Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.

  • Re: Skype credit refund

    I found the Skype payment confusing in the beginning and assumed  when I set up the credit, that  my subscriptions  would be paid from  that fund.  Instead they took  them  from my auto payment with no concern  that i had credit on the books.  Now it appears that Skype will not refund credits unless you ask for within 15 days of extablishing it.
