How to replace my Canadian Home Phone with Skype.

The only thing holding me back is getting the necessary information to get set up.
Where can i find a step by step process to port my existing phone number to a new home skype account? (with incoming call display and voicemail)
What is the best equipment available to allow me to use my existing cordless phone system?
Finally, if i ever had a phone issue...where do i go to try to solve it.

You cannot port your existing phone number to Skype. Skype does not participate in those programs. Since you mentioned Canada, that adds another complication - Skype does not offer Online Numbers in Canada, due to a Canadian requirement that anyone providing telephone service with Canadian telephone numbers must be able to connect callers to 911 (Skype does not connect callers to emergency-services numbers like 911 in Canada and the USA, 999 in the UK, 000 in Australia, etc.).
There is an alternative that might work for you. You would still get a new number, but it would make use of Skype To Go - the way you can access your Skype services from a telephone, instead of a computer or other device connected to the Internet.

How do I make appear the "phone with skype"-link, next to tel numbers on websites, that I visit ?

Hi, filipfirmout, and welcome to the Community,
In the Windows version, the settings to enable this are here:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> check in Use Skype to call to links on the web -> Save.
There is also this: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/click-to-call/

how do i sync my 4s phone with my home email

You don;t sync it with your home e-mail.
You can set up your e-mail account on the iphone and it will retrieve e-mail from your server just like your computer does.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

When you are on your way home, you can forward your calls to your home phone. Cancel forwarding when you get to an area with service.

*73 to cancel.
You can also do this with Google Voice.

Hi willardfromlos angeles,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about restoring or setting up your new iPhone from an existing iCloud backup (say, of a previous device), you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
If, on the other hand, you are talking about simply setting up iCloud on your new device for the first time, then these articles may be of more use:
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices

Sync? or restore?
What info are you looking to sync?
If it's all of it, you will need to backup one iPhone and restore that to the others.
If it's just selected info, calendars, contacts, Apps, music, use the iCloud and syncing with a computer.

How to sync a Lumia Windows Phone with Outlook

Hi
Like all I see I also bought a windows 800 on the basis that all our team of 50 would change from Iphones to windows so we could sync with our outlook which is not server based but we each run our own outlook folders but no there is no outlook sync. Yes you can copy to the live account and then use that as your main calendar but who wants to do that?
I asked and was told specifically that it would sync with outlook so the Carephone Warehouse guy either lied or did not know his stuff ( I know what my guess is!) Amazingly my wife's samsung galaxy using Android does sync.
If you can tell me how I can synchronise my windows phone with my Outlook without exporting and importing CSV and ICS files then please do so.
Moderators note: changed thread title to reflect subject. Moved from another thread.

Hi wobblybob,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting!
When you are told you can sync a Windows Phone with Outlook that would be correct. What you are really asking is 'can I connect my Lumia to the PC with the USB cable and sync with Outlook offline'. The answer to that would be no.
How you sync with Outlook can be answered in a short and long version. The long and extensive version can be found here. The short version is:
For Outlook 2003 and 2007 install the Outlook Hotmail connector and setup an account for your LiveID, for Outlook 2010 just setup the account and it will prompt you to install the connector. A step by step guide can be found here.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

How can I sync my iPhone to a new (empty) iTunes without replacing everything on my phone with the new library?

I recently had my MacBook stolen. I have an iPhone which had selected playlists, photos, ringtones, and apps from my old iTunes. Now I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and would like to sync my iPhone with my laptop, which has a whole new (empty) iTunes library. However, when I choose "sync" my phone with the new iTunes, it says it will erase all items on my iPhone and replace it with my new iTunes library(which is empty). Can someone please help me?? I really would like to keep these photos and playlists!!

You can transfer items on your iPhone to iPhoto, iTunes, etc. the software merely transfer the data, it does not store it. Very handy software to have around.
