Just got connected into someone else's call!

Hi.
I just made a skype-out call from my account in Australia to an Australian mobile phone number. Instead of connecting me to the phone I was ringing, skype connected me to the middle of some random phone call that was in progress.
I could hear one party of the call, but not the other.
I can confirm that it was not the person I was trying to ring.
After a few seconds, I hung up and re-dialed my intended number. This time it rang and the my friend answered. They said they had a missed call from when I first called.
I'm using skype version 5.5.0.119.
I've never had this happen before.
This has shaken my confidence in skype's security quite a bit.
Anyone from skype care to comment ?

Previous post was a bit lacking in detail. Just to elaborate, twice this week I have been on a video call to someone. The call has stalled, and Skype has gone to the reconnecting screen. The first time, Skype seemed to connect me to a random call that was already in progress-I could hear two people having a conversation, but I don't think they could hear me. The second time, I'm not even sure I was connected to a call – when Skype reconnected the call I could hear music in the background and keyboard tapping (it definitely wasn't the person I was originally talking to). Bit spooky. Anyone else encountered anything similar?

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

TS3367 I was trying to contact my wife in another country on a trip as I have several times since she has been away. Today we connected and then lost the signal and when I tried her again I got connected to someone in CA. How does that happen??

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

New line connected today, someone else also gaven ...

Hi today my new line was connected, i then recieved a call from a random person telling me this was meant to be their number today, they say they got the letter saying the same numb as mine, now he says he has gaven this numb out to his patients as he is a doctor.
Can someone please explain to me how BT have managed to screw this new cnnection up so badly?
I called BT they say theres no record of them issuing this number to anyone else!!!
What a complete joke this is, can't even connect a line up without screwing up.
BT if your reading this, I demand an answer right now!

Hi madevo,
When a landline order is placed a temporary number is allocated, but it's never guaranteed as it can change once the service is "live", and I'm guessing the caller was allocated the number in question when they originally ordered the service.
Customers should never give out the temporary numbers as they cannot be guaranteed, but by the sound of this the caller wasn't advised of this.
For some reason the number must have become spare (possibly because there was a problem with the original order) and when your line was activated the number in question was then given to you (numbers are allocated from a general “pool”, and the first available is given).
I don’t have any way of knowing how the number became spare from the doctor’s order, however as the number would have been temporary against his order, then become spare and it's now live against your account we wouldn't have a way of tracing it back to the doctor's order.
This is also assuming the doctor ordered the service with BT. if they ordered with a different provider we wouldn't be able to access the account at all - even if we had their account number - as it would be on another service provider's database.
I am sorry you were called up about this, and if you'd like me to check your order to make sure everything went ahead as it should have do drop me an email at [email protected]
Thanks,
Stephanie

Help please - An email address that I rarely used several years ago got reset to someone else's apple ID in place of the email account they used to create their account. How can this happen?

A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.

I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

Is my device secure logged into someone else's icloud?

We have Ipads at work that we can use for work related things. All teh devices are logged into one persons Icloud. Is this secure? The VP for our department wants to use it for email adn stuff and I am concerned taht if someone else is logged intot eh cloud that her device is not secure. can anyone clear this up for me? is it secure or not? Thank you!

This article discussess iCloud security: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4865, but the primary issue you'll run into sharing a single account is that when you do this, everyone's synced data is merged, and the merged data appears on everyone's device(s). Also, any action on one device is replicated to all other device. If, for example, one person deletes a contact on their device, it is then deleted from all other devices sharing the account. You would end up seeing, for example, each other's contacts, calendars, email, etc. Each iCloud account also comes with a single iCloud email account and 5GB of free storage, up to a maximum of 55GB with purchased upgrades. With a number of people sharing the account you would quickly run out of space and may not be able to purchase enough to accomodate everyone.
Furthermore, iCloud is designed for personal rather than business use. As such there are limits imposed on services like email that may not be sufficient for a business environment (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489).

Automatically logging into someone else's network

There are several networks in my office complex, including my own Belkin N wireless. Every time I start up my G5, the HWUN1A Wireless utility automatically connects to somebody else's open network, rather than to mine. Mine requires a password, the other one doesn't. Is there a way to set network preferences or otherwise prevent logging onto my neighbor's network -- and always choose my network instead?

Yes, it appears as "USB Ethernet (en1)"
When I click on "Advanced" there are several panes available, but none allow me to do anything about network preferences. (I'm familiar with how to do this with Airport, as I also have a PowerBoook I use at the office.)
I've written to Hawking Technology's support people about this issue, thinking there may be something I'm missing in their network utility, but have never had a reply from them.

HT201441 i bought a ipad2 from a guy who got it rom someone else and the original guy never unlinked it from his icloud account what do i do

I bought a ipad2 from a guy who bought it from someone else and the original owner never signed out of his icloud account and not it is locked is there a way i can reset it to my account?

Return it and get your money back. Unless you can contact the original owner and get them to remove it from their account you will not be able to activate it and use it. There is no way around this.

Connecting to Someone Else

Dear Representative:
I have tried to connect with someone who is in the Skype network of my company: EDMC. I have tried three times, but with no success. I am routed to a page that says that the account is "not available."
Thank you in advance for your help!

Launch the Keychain Access application on the client and search for password items with the Bonjour name of your computer. Delete any that you find. Then try again to connect with the name and password of the user on your computer who owns the sharepoint.

Can I sign into someone else's computer and download iTunes videos to transfer to my home using a memory card?

Here's my issue. I live in an area where the fastest available internet connection is 1.5 mb/sec with a limit of 150 gb/month. I purchase tv series passes from iTunes and I have fallen behind in my downloads. My father lives about 15 minutes away from me where he has access to a much faster cable internet connection w/out the monthly limits. Would it be possible for me to sign into my iTunes account on his computer & download the programs I have waiting to be downloaded? I haven't downloaded them onto any other computer/iPhone, I am just reminded everytime I sign into iTunes that I have numerous downloads pending. They wouldn't be watched on his computer, just downloaded and moved to a usb thumb drive I would take home with me. Then I would move the files to my computer at home which is the base for my iTunes account. I already have 5 pcs linked to my iTunes account, although 3 of them no longer work & 1 is my iPhone, so I wouldn't be able to add his pc as another computer. I'm hoping that someday I will have a faster connection available with higher data limits at my home, but until that happens, I would like to be able to get the programs I have paid for so I could actually watch them. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

Use the instructions in this article to locate the purchased songs on your hard disk, and then burn the song files to a data CD; next, import the songs on your computer. The instructions in this article may also be useful. If you burn the files to an audio or MP3 CD, some quality may be lost.

Connect to someone else's Mac to add Apple tv content?

My mother-in-law lives far away and one thing we set up to share what her grand kids do is to put media on her Apple tv. So we record performances and turn them into mp3s, make home movies in iMovie, and email her photos. Initially we set up all of this stuff, along with her DVDs and CDs that we ripped for her on an external drive which we linked to her iTunes. She is computer illiterate though, so trying to add new content has been a nightmare. If I send her photos through email or home movies on a thumb drive she should just be able to drag and drop onto the external drive and then into iTunes. But it never works right, she keeps messing up a step, usually disconnecting her hard drive in the process.
So here is what I need. Can I connect over the Internet my MacBook pro running Lion to her MacBook running Snow Leopard so I can drag and drop these files from my laptop to hers?

Set up iChat accounts for her and yourself, then use the screen-sharing feature in iChat.

Graphite Connects to Someone Else's Wireless Network

When I startup my eMac (10.4.8) I sometimes cannot connect to the internet via Airport. I discover, upon launching Internet Connect, that I am connected, but not on our wireless network. Instead, Airport shows me connected on something called "linksys" (which I assume is a neighbor's wireless network), and the signal is very weak. I can switch to our network via Internet Connect & all is well, but it's a hassle having to go through this every time. It used to be that I'd immediately be connected to our own wireless network & Airport upon startup. Help! How can I "teach" my Airport to always connect via OUR network & not "linksys"???

Try each of the following, in order, until resolved:
1. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
2a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
- Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
- Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
- Restart, or log out then back in.
2c. Add Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
- Restart or log out then back in.
3. Create a New User Account
- Create a new user account.
-- System Preferences > Accounts
-- Click "+" to add a new account
- Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
- Try connecting with the AirPort.
