Log in issues with Win 8.1 lap top and Android dev...

To say that I'm annoyed is an understatement.  First off was the issue that just surfaced with Skype on my laptop and PC.  I would be logged into Skype and then for no reason it would shut down, not crash but shut down as though I closed it myself.  I tried two wi-fi networks I have access to and it happened on both.  Then I installed skype on a desk top and it happened again.  Sometimes it would fire up and immediately shut down.  Eventually I found a solution on line by unlinking my windows 8 account to Skype and the problem stopped happening.  My belief is Windows forced an update on Skype that linked it to my MS account without telling me.  Thanks MS, that was really unhelpful and it took me a week to fix.
Then I have tried logging into Skype on my Android phone, 10 inch tablet and Kindle HDX.  Cannot connect to Skype, try entering some rediculously long code they email me but nada, it wont connect.  What on earth is going on here as it used to work fine before MS got hold of Skype.

Problem solved as the issue was to do with the microsoft account.  Ever since Windows 8 I've had many issues on other peoples laptops and my own just because Microsoft want you to have your Skype account linked into your windows account. Previously I've re-installed Skype from scratch in Win 7 type mode and solved the problem and with my Skype which I'd re-installed. I had to unlink it from my Microsoft account.
Clearly and unbeknown to me, Microsoft must have linked it during an update of Skype and that caused Skype to close immediately it had launched. Unchecked the link in Skype and problem solved.  Why cant MS leave things alone if they aint broke !!!!!!

  • Issues with Win 7 & CS2. Illustrator and Photoshop have "Stopped Working"

    Hi,  New to this so I apologize in advance.  Bought a new computer in December '09. 6gig quad processor and plenty of 500gigs of disc space. NOt a Memory Issue! Installed CS2 ( 'cause the computer took all of my money!)  and all worked fine until 4 days ago.  I mainly use illustrator and photoshop. When I tried to save a document... The programs simply "Stopped Working"  I'm a rookie with the tech stuff so please speak slowly and simply....  I would appreciate any help as I'm losing money and work right now!  Thanks

    CS2 is totally unsupported under Win 7. And if you have 6 gigs of RAM I'll guess that it's a 64 bit system which simply adds to the complexity.
    Sorry, but the best advice you'll get is to upgrade.

    Hey floridiansue,
    Do you have an installed email program such as Microsoft Outlook?  If your email is through an online login, such as Gmail, etc, then one will have to create an email association with a program such as Microsoft Outlook on the PC for this Scan to Email system to function.

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Cannot seem to get a signal from my router with my Ipod touch. Lap top and desk top are working fine.

    I have been having trouble with my Ipod touch getting a signal from my 2wire router. This is an easy set up for lap top and desk top. Now I can't seem to get the internet with my ipod. I can get the a signal with my wife's ipod 3rd generation with no problems.  My old ipod i purchased in early 07. I can get a signal at the local McDonalds or Starbucks. Just not at home. Does anyone else have this problem? I ran the reset as prescribed by apple but have been unsuccessful.

    The problem is most likely with your router.  Follow the instructions in the router's manual to reset it.  Also what security are you using?  If it's WEP upgrade to WPA.  The iPod sometimes has trouble with WEP "protected" routers.  I put "protected" in quotation marks because WEP security is essentially useless.  It can be hacked in less that 30 seconds.

    You can't. It still thinks that your iPhone is synced with another iTunes library (the one that you had before you reformatted the hard drive.

  • URL issue with Windows 7 Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW PI 7.

    Hello SAP community,
    I am facing a strange issue with Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 11 and SAP NW java services (I hope I am in the correct discussion) ...
    When I try to open URL http://sapserver.hosters-name:port it is working so far with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
    But when I click than on NWA (example), I am getting "http 500 server error".
    I don't have the issue, when I start-up a VMware Workstation with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8.
    But now the strange part: In our network DNS (Domain Name Service), we can also open the URL by http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    Than it is working without problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
    I would agree to state the comment - it is just a Windows 7/Internet Explorer 11 issue, if it wouldn't work for both URLs (http://sapserver.hosters-name:port = problem URL; http://sapserver.our-dsn:port = working).
    We are using a SAP NW PI 7.x system. Some URLs for PI are using http://sapserver.hosters-name:port/java service.
    Do you have any hints what is cause the issue - I suspect some with Internet Explorer and Firefox (because with Google Chrome at least the URL for NWA is opened, beside the issue, Google Chrome can't display NWA content)?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards
    Carlos

    Hi all,
    I think I found the solution.
    The reason seems to be, the domain name for http://sapserver.our-dns:port, "our-dns" was already added to the compatibility view settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    That seemed to be the reason, why it was working with http://sapserver.our-dns:port.
    When I now added for http://sapserver.hosters-name:port the domain "hosters-name" to the compatibility view settings it is now working.
    Internet Explorer Options => Settings for compatibility view => Add domain
    Best regards
    Carlos

  • My ipod all of a sudden blacked out and now it only shows the apple icon. When i press the on/off or home button it still remains with the apple icon. I tried plugging it to my lap top and going to i tunes but it says there is an error in the device

    I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have recently changed lap tops and moved my itunes library successfully.

    I updated iTunes on my Dell Inspiron lap top and it corrupted my iTunes. I uninstalled all of the newly installed files.  I also uninstalled iTunes.  Now whenever I try to install iTunes, I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer.

    Tried it 2 times and no luck.  Any advice for me?

    I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    I have acrobat pro on my lap top and recently installed acrobat pro on my Mac Mini, but the text recognition function is not working, does anyone have any advice on how to remedy this problem?

    On my laptop when I open up a pdf file and do a search for a particular
    text phrase it prompts me to run a character analysis.  Whereas on my mac
    mini, when I try to engage the same process it just says it couldn't find
    the phrase and doesn't even try and run a character analysis. I tried
    clicking on the tool bar and the recognize text tab but nothing there seems
    to do anything.
    In trying to figure out the issue on my own I noticed one thing.  I run a
    small law firm in St. Louis and I scan in all my files to which are
    subsequently emailed to my outlook account where I will save them as pdf's
    to their respective folders.  On my laptop when I open up an email from my
    scanner I see the image of a acrobat document next to the attachment
    paperclip symbol.  However, when I open up the same email on my mac mini I
    notice instead of an acrobat file image it shows a Preview file image (the
    program used to open up pdf's before I installed acrobat).
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,
    Jonathan McAllister
