How to set up Touch to use Skype for phone calls?

I use Skype with my iMac for making phone calls and would like to do the same with my new iPod Touch. I've looked in the Touch User's Guide but have not been able to find a procedure for setting up the Touch to accomplish this. I would appreciate feedback on how to do this from those who are successfully using Skype with their Touch units. One thing I am curious about is whether I can sync my Touch with the Skype program--including phone numbers-- already present on my iMac.

Yes and no... you will have two versions of Skype on your computer, but one will only be appearing in iTunes and your iPod since they are two different app.
You can still have both Skype application open and loged into your account at the same with no problem. There is no special setup to do on your iPod more than login into your account and having credits into your account, exactly as you probably done with Skype on your computer.

How to set iPhone Bluetooth to be just for phone calls?

Is there a way to setup an iPhone 4s/5, iOS 6, to use the bluetooth only for phone calls?
I don't want music, youtube, google maps, or any app to go thru my car speakers. Phone calls work fine because the car will switch to Bluetooth audio automatically for those. I usually have my car audio set to radio so no apps are audible in the car unless I manually switch the car to Bluetooth Audio but then I can't listen to the radio.

The only way around this, depending on the car system,
is connect the iPhone to the unit via USB.
At least with my Ford SYNC system, I can pair via
Bluetooth and connect the USB and select USB audio
on the Ford unit and in the Music app on the iPhone.
Doing this, all phoner functions go via Bluetooth and
everything else is over USB.
Perhaps your car system supports something similar
or not. If it doesn't, there is nothing you can do.

Using Skype for video call on iPad2

I installed Skype for iPad and when I try to place a video call, the video button is present but not active. I have gone through the audio test call several times and that works fine. How do I activate the video function?

Barry-
Looking at preferences and settings, I can not find any way to change access to the video button. I see it is not active when you place a call to the audio test server, but that is to be expected.
I had a problem with the Macintosh iChat video program, where video was not available when my internet access was too slow to support video. I do not know if that applies to Skype or not. If you can have someone call you using their video button to make the call, your Skype video may activate and work correctly in the future.

I like to use mac for phone calls but I cannot see hand off device feature in preferences

Hi,
I can send and recieve messages from my mac using IOS 8.1 and yosemite but unable to make phone calls. I check the video on how to make phone calls & it asking me to put a check mark under hands off device under general preference but somehow I'm not seeing that option on my computer. What I need to do?

Handoff is limited to Macs with Bluetooth 4.0, which leaves many older Macs unable to access the new features. Additionally, even though the 2011 MacBook Air and 2011 Mac mini include Bluetooth 4.0, Apple has chosen to make both devices incompatible with OS X Yosemite's Continuity features.

I'm thinking about using an iPad mini with data plan as a cell phone replacement, using Skype for phone service.

Seems like a less expensive alternative, with fewer devices. Thoughts?

If you want to stay with your current plan, you would have to add 3 tiered data plans for the new smartphones. These would be $30/month(2 GB of data for each phone) for each of the data plans, increasing your bill by $90/month to $226/month for your total bill.
If you were to switch to the Share Everything plan, you would have an access fee of $40 for each of the lines for a total of $120. This would give you unlimited talk and text. On top of the $120, you would have to add a bucket of shared data which ALL of the phones would be able to access. For $80/month, you could get a bucket of 6 GB of data to be shared between all of the phones. So far that would bring your bill to $200/month. With taxes, it should end up being about the same cost as your old plan with the benefit of having unlimited minutes. If you find yourself using less data, you can cut your data cost by lowering the amount of shared data. For example, $70/ month for 4 GB of shared data. If you find yourself using more data, you can add more data, for example $90/month for 8 GB of shared data or $100/month for 10 GB of shared data instead of $80/month for 6 GB of shared data.
If you have any employee discounts available, these would ONLY come off the data portion of the Share Everything plan. Discounts on your current plan would not change if you currently have any.

Using earbuds for phone calls.

Does anybody know if there is a way to answer a call when it comes in while listening to internet radio?? What I have to do now, is to stop the internet radio (not just pause), then get to the home screen, unplug the ear buds, then answer the phone. Is there an easier way to deal with this???

I have a similiar problem. The centre control button and the volume controls just stopped working. Can't answer calls or skip tracks when playing iPod. The controls on the iPhone itself still work fine with the earbuds connected. Seem to just happen overnight. Bought a brand new set of Earbuds, suspecting it was the buds but exactly the same results. Non repsonsive controls. Very disappointing.
Unlike you, the mic built in to the phone does not seem live with the buds plugged in to the iPhone.
Have you found a solution ? Any help would be appreciated. My iPhone 4 is just 6 months old.

Ipad camera app not working after update 7.1.1 and using skype on video call

Hello,
i updated my mini ipad to ios 7.1.1
then i used skype for video call...
It worked fine for a few minutes then the front camera stopped working
Stopping skype and starting the camera app, i saw that the front camera was no more working...black screen
instead rear camera was working...
Then i tried to reset the device (pressing sleep and home button) and uninstalled skype
Now front camera works more or less, but the camera app seems always almost freezed, i cant change easily the options,
i cant record a video, only camera for snapshots is working...
any suggestion?
is it possible to uninstall the camera app and try to reinstall it?
Thanks!

Updating to iOS 7.1.2 doesnt solving problem at all, even my front camera also begin not working after I did that. Everything's OK when I using rear cam, but just freeze and blurred on screen while switched to the front cam. And have to resetting to go back to rear cam. My iPhone4's camera itself, rear and front, are in good performance before. And I've tried anything such as reset, hard reset, restoring, setting up as new device, etc, without any result since then. If some people say it was about hardware issued, I thing so weird because too many same hardware problems coincident happened at the same moment. So I just only hope the Apple will listening and solving all problems wisely. Thanks b4.

Lync doesnot use microphone for audio calls in Mac

Hi,
When Im calling from my Lync the person on the other side cannot hear my voice. Im using lync on my mac. This used to work before but has suddenly stopped working. My lync version is 14.0.10 and my OSX is 10.9.5. I use skype for audio calls on the same machine
and it works well

Hi AshwanG,
You can configure your audio device settings in Lync Preferences. In the Lync Preferences window, click the Audio tab.
If you are having audio problems, and you can't resolve them within the Lync for Mac client, you can specify the input and output devices in your system sound settings:
Open
System Preferences and select Sound.
Select the appropriate settings for "Output" and "Input".
Best regards,
Eric

How to set field type choice using csom (c#)

I have a field type: Choice (menu to choose from) which is not multichoice. How do I set a value?
I have found code for multiple choice but it doesn't seem to work for single choice.

Hi,
The following code snippet for your reference:
newListItem["ChoiceFieldName"] = "ChoiceValue";
newListItem.Update();
clientContext.Load(newListItem);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If you are assigning a Value which is not in the Choice Column, You need to create a choice value then assign it to the item.

How to set XPoweredByHeaderLevel to NONE using wlst

How to set XPoweredByHeaderLevel to NONE using wlst (by default the value is SHORT).
I mean, I have created a domain using wlst.
Now I want to set XPoweredByHeaderLevel of WebAppContainerMBean to NONE using wlst.
It will be helpful if a sample python(Jython) script is provided.
Please help.

Here is a quick Jython example of how to do what you want:
#assuming you already have correct imports for wlst module
#connect to the AdminServer using proper credentials and host information
wlst.connect(username, password, host_info)
#extract domain name
domainName = wlst.domainName
#start an edit session and navigate to the WebAppContainerMBean
wlst.edit()
wlst.cd("/WebAppContainer/" + domainName)
wlst.startEdit()
#set the value of the XPoweredByHeaderLevel attribute to "NONE"
wlst.cmo.setXPoweredByHeaderLevel("NONE")

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users

How to set default User preferences in Analyzer for all users Hi, I would like to set some settings in Analyzer as default for all users. For example: 1. Display | Char 2. right mouse click on char | Chart Properties 3. Axes tab 4. "Format: Currency" i would like to change to "Format: Number". How to set default values to all users? Is this possible? Thanks, Grofaty

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do. I haven't tested this fully, but I beleive this is how it will work. As far as setting the preferences, go into the admin console and right click on the group, then select Preferences. To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.

How to set and resent reconcilation a/c for Assent a/c

hi
how to set and resent reconcilation a/c for Assent a/c
amk

You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

How to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?

Hello,
Does anyone how to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?
I tried listening for width/height property value changes and then adjust the width/height if necessary, but that causes unpleasant flickering of the window.
In JavaFX 2.1 beta SDK for Mac OS, the Stage class has setMinWidth() and setMinHeight() functions which work very well.
I'm wondering what's the equivalent way to do that when using the FX SDK for Windows.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I was wondering how to enforce a minimum stage size with JavaFX 2.0.3.The same flickering way you are currently doing it. See: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15200 "Need a way to set the minimum size of a window"
