Is there a problem with skype at the moment?

Hello folks.
I'm running a G4 and 10.411 using an old version of skype with a software patch that I found in one of the skype topics on this site. It has been working fine for months now. I don't use video just audio. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I am having is that I can call out and hear the person I am calling, but they can't hear me. Is there a problem with skype today? Or have they made changes as of today that do not permit people to use the patch and an old version of skype? Any information would be much appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The problem has seemed to have gone away. The problem started yesterday on two different computers. Today, on one of the computers I ran a utility called Mcjanitor that I had installed years ago but very rarely ran it. I neglected to try skype prior to running the utility. On computer #2 I tried booting from an old utility disk called techtoolpro. I was unable to boot from the disk after several attempts and restarts. Both computers are running better and skype now works again on both. I sent an email earlier today to a tech support guy from my ISP about my recent problems with skype. In conclusion I can't explain why skype now works on both computers. I can only guess that I reset something when I used (attempted to use) a utility disk. The other possibility is that my ISP guy did something on his end. Or, lastly, that skype had problems that were remedied by skype today.

  • Is there an issue with iCal at the moment?

    Hello everyone
    I have sent a variety of iCal invite over the last couple of days - and when they are opened by recipients - it's for a totally different appointment (and usually not meant for them!)
    This is not just my computer - people in my organisation are all experiencing the same thing. Note, we don't use a server and 95% of us use a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. It's very odd...
    Please can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    1. OK, a language problem :
    iOS is the Operating System on iPhone, iPad.
    OS is the Operating System on a Mac computer (iMac, MacBookPro, MacBookAir).
    At the bottom of your first message is  "MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)", which is information that you put in when opening a "profile" when you decided to participate in the Apple Discussion Forum and posted your question, click on your name (the blue lettering above your message and you will go to your profile.
    2. Click the little apple icon on the left above side in the top menubar, then choose "about this mac": you will see a short description of your mac: MacbookPro probably, in that field you also see the Operating System name and version, if not click "more info".  Give us here the info, about your mac and your operating system.
    3. the two links that I gave you are well readable, look to the passages that refer to your operating system and do what it describes.
    4. Can you disable SpamSieve for the moment, to see if that helps, if you can not disable it, uninstall it (you may always reinstall).

  • Is there a problem with WiFi on the iPhone 5?

    Hi.  I recently purchased an iPhone 5 and I have been having some problems connecting to WiFi at home in my bedroom.  Basically, I will connect to the network and eventually, it will lose the connection and go back to 3G/LTE.  Then, I have to go back to Settings and wait for the phone to find the network again.  I have never had this problem on my iPod Touch or MacBook.  Is this a common problem?  If so, what can I do to resolve it?
    Thanks so much!

    There is a problem related to the security setting on your router.  Search around a little bit and you will see some rather extensive threads about this subject.  Some of them say to put your security back to WEP and others say to set it to WPA2 + TKIP.  Mine is working fine so I haven't had to mess with the security settings.  I hope that this helps.
    thanks,
    Ken

  • Can I use the migration assistant to migrate my Mac Book Pro to my new MacBook Air. Is there any problem with this since the platforms are not identical?

    I have Mac Book Pro ( bought November 2010) that I want to migrate all of the data and applications from, over to a new Mac Book Air? It was suggested that I use the Migration Tool as it is supposed to make an exact clone of the Mac Book Pro machine and put it on the Mac Boor Air. Can that really work if you are going from one platform to another?
    I was also told I could restore the data from my time capsule to the MacBook Air.
    I'm looking for the easiest method that will leave me with as little to do as possible to get up an running on the Mac Book Air afterwards. I'm not a real strong user and don't want to have to reconfigure applications to make them work.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
    As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

  • Is apple going to fix the problems with skype

    There is a major problem with dropped IM and video with Skype from the apple products. What is being done about this?

    Is the issue just with Skype or FaceTime as well?
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling ?

  • Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts?

    Started a similar string before.  When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage.  I know that they are registered.  Is there a problem with Contacts possibly.  The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.

    Hi,
    Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
    It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
    Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
    If it does not use the Sign Out button.
    Then shut down the Mac
    On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
    I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
    It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

    Hi,
    Since you already have one copy activated the serial number must be logged in your account details - I would first check that the one logged and the one you are attempting to enter are the same.
    You can check your account details by going to www.adobe.com and clicking on Manage Account. You need to sign in with your Adobe Id and then click on View All under Plans & Products. Next click on View your products and after a while it should produce your list.
    If there is a problem with the serial number, only Adobe can help you there (we are just users). Please see the response in this thread
    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and ge

    Right click on your iPad's name in the iTunes app on your computer and choose to transfer purchases. That should transfer anything that you have bought with the App Store app on the iPad to the iTunes app on your computer.

  • Is there a problem with the latest iTunes update?

    After getting the most recent iTunes update my iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes. When its connected to my computer it charges but you can't see it on iTunes and none of the content can be accessed. I've never had this problem before, and it doesn't happen on my other computer with an older version of iTunes. I've gone through the troubleshooting suggestions for this on the Apple site but nothing seems to work. Is there a problem with the new update? And will it be getting fixed soon?

  • Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  Any ideas?

    Can't back-up new iMac with fusion HD.  The back-up proceeds to within 10% of the total storage needed and then the "of" number increases.  I suspect there is a problem with backing up the fusion drive.  We have a new 3 TB time Capsule.  I tried excluding different parts of the software from the back-up but it didn't make any difference.  I even tried exluding "invisible items" to no avail.  Any ideas?

    When you setup the wireless and ethernet in the computer.. ipv6 will be on automatic.. this is wrong for the latest TC firmware and airport utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4597
    Go to the wireless and ethernet setup in preferences and change ipv6 to link local.
    Once you do the big backup by ethernet the wireless will function fine for incremental.. it is obviously not estimating the size correctly..
    A full back-up on the iMac would be about 650 GB.  The partial updates that I have been trying start out at 115MB and keep growing indefinitely.  The original back-up never finished nor have any of the follow-up attempts.
    The first estimate should be the full backup but it will keep growing as the backup advances.. I would also delete any inprogress files to make sure it is not messing up .. delete even a sparsebundle if there is one for the imac on the TC and start afresh once you have ethernet connection.
    See A10 here.
    Pondini may have some other clues there to give you an idea of why the backup is slow or not finishing.. there is a lot of issues with TM when it decides not to work.

  • I have a problem with mail.  the spelling and grammer check box before sending the messege is no longer there.  I did everything but cannot get it back.  is ther anyone who knows how to get the box with spelling and grammer checks before sending

    i have a problem with mail.  the spelling and grammer check box before sending the messege is no longer there.  I did everything but cannot get it back.  is ther anyone who knows how to get the box with spelling and grammer checks before sending the mail.
    Also the mail is acting very funny by not getting the rules work in a proper method.  Is ther a software to repair mail.

    i did both of them, but still the while sending the mail the diolog box is not showing up and also the spelling and grammer does not do the spelling check. 
    This problem just started for about 3 to 4 days now.  earlier it was working normally.

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

    What are you doing within the txt document?  Is it general text and string based items, or have you something more elaborate going on?
    An older discussion here elaborates a bit more on the dotx vs docx side of things.
