Multiple computers and one SKYPE account

I have SKYPE on a PC downloaded plus a subscription for unlimited phone calls. I also want to use the same subscription on a laptop. I haven't yet downloaded SKYPE to the laptop. My goal is to download Skype on the laptop and use the same account and subscription as the one I downloaded and ordered from my PC.
Is there a way to download SKYPE to the new laptop without creating a new account? Am I allowed to use the same SKYPE account from a PC, a LAPTOP, and also a smartphone? Or does each require a unique skype account?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Before trying to isolate an issue, it's always best that one is running the latest Skype release. Which may in itself resolve the issue.
A new version has just been released August 02, 2011:
Please click the "Get Skype" link at the top of this page and download the normal version of Skype, NOT the beta version to get this new version.
This new version is 5.5.0.113 to check what version you have, using the main Skype client window please do:
Help -> About Skype
Then simply choose the "Already have a Skype Name" option and enter your Skype name.
NOTE: You can also backspace over any name in the logon window and enter your Skype name as well.
About Me You can also use a IP Camera as your camera for Skype video Example Instructions

Use of multiple computers on one Skype account

I'm trying to find out if we can have just one Skype account on multiple computers? For instance, having one name and using it on both our travel laptop and our home desktop would be very helpful. People wouldn't have to have two different contact listings to remember or keep track of to contact us! Any help of suggestions would be appreciated.

you can use your Skype account in any computer or device, as long as the Skype program or application is installed in it.

Multiple computers sharing one iTunes account?

I know this must for a FAQ, but I can't seem to find the answer. I have an iTunes account that I use on my home computer running Vista. I have purchased quite a bit of music online. I want to transfer my purchases from my online iTunes store account to my work Macbook and iPhone. When I login into my iTunes store account on the Mac, I don't see my purchases. How do I access and download them to the Mac so that I can sync them to iPhone?

You need to copy them from one computer to the other yourself, until the just-announced iCloud is up and running (we need iTunes 10.3 which should be available shortly). For now, see
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences before you do.
Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).

Help using multiple computers and one shared external drive

I just "bought" the new LR / PS combo special. I have 3 computers, 2 PC's in seperate cities and a laptop that I use on the road. I would like to use an external hard drive as the main drive. This way I could take the drive with me.
2 Questions....First I tried to learn the basics using the internal hard drive on PC#2. I then set up a external drive with multiple folders but within one main folder. I then started importing to the external drive using PC#2 (which is at my vacation property). Everything went smooth until I tried to import from that external drive, It does not open that catalog. I am saving them as digital negatives.
Question #2 which I have not tried yet is PC#1 which is my main home computer does not have LR. I have years of photos in hundreds of files sorted in bridge that have to be renamed and put on the hard drive. It does not have the latest version of PS and I have lots of money invested in plug ins. How can I get lightroom on that computer and will it talk to what I believe is the prior version of photoshop. I don't even want to think about all the plug ins.
It's pretty clear that I am lost. I was going to continue using bridge and PS but there is no bridge on the new version, at least not on the $9.99 special. From what I've seen, LR is the way to go.
HELP

HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. How do I do this?

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists. How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife. Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account. How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device? Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

Hello dal1820
Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

I have two numbers on one skype account - how do I...

My skype account has two numbers and I want to add one more, how do I allow answering of them separately?

Hi, DHPE.Staff, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype does not provide a facility to do this. While a Skype account's incoming calls, whether to the Skype account itself or a Skype Number, can be forwarded to multiple mobile or land line numbers, each Skype Number purchased for an account is considered affiliated with that account and cannot be forwarded separately.
The work-around people use is to create a new account for each Skype Number needed; that way call forwarding and caller ID can be differentiated between the numbers.
The thing to be mindful of in doing this, however, is to use different payment methods, otherwise the payment methods and accounts may be trapped inadvertently by Skype's anti-fraud filters. More details about this here:

Hi Nguyen and welcome to the Skype Community,

Is it possible to use Adobe Illustrator in multiple computers with the same account?

Hi guys,
So our company is a small designing tile company,
we wanted to purchase the Adobe Illustrator and was wondering if it was possible to use it in multiple computers with one account, as we have two computers that are frequently use for designing, or do we have to buy two separated Adobes Illustrators for each computer?
Thanks

From the End User License Agreement (EULA):
2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
So, while it CAN be installed on more than one computer, they may not both be in use at the same time.

Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
If so how can I do this?

Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.
see this page: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f1e2a

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account?

Can I authorize more than five computers on one iTunes account? I have several PC's being used as HTPC's and I'd like to use iTunes on all of them. My three iPhones and three PC's have taken up all of my authorizations. If I need to create a second iTunes account, can it be linked to my existing account?

Todd, some suggested reading, none of which looks to me as requiring authorization as an iTunes device for Apple TV:

Multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library

I have a question about multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library.
Currently I have 3 PC's, 2 iPods and 2 iPhones.
My PC had the iTunes library on it and everyone was just listening to mine via the iTunes sharing.
Well I bought a Buffalo LinkStation and told itunes to move my library to M:\My Music\..... and then did a Consolidate Library which in turn moved all the music from my C: drive to the M: drive.
My wife's computer has it's own Library with no music (only app store apps, and ringtones).
Now my question is what happens if I tell my wifes computer that M:\My Music\....... is her new location of the library and restart itunes. I am pretty sure this will work fine. But what happens if she syncs her iPhone now? Will all my apps now be on her phone and she will lose hers? She does have her own itunes store account with her own apps. Is there a way to have it so only her apps are on her phone and my apps are on my phone? Can she choose different playlists to be synced than what I have?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

Since the three of you are using separate iTunes accounts, then you each need to run your own itunes, which should be logged into the itunes store using each individual account. For that, on a laptop, you each need to have your own computer accounts.

Multiple Schemas under one user account with XE 10g

Hi,
I am using (learning) XE 10g. I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple schemas under one user account and have the schemas logically separated. As of right now, I have three schemas that I am working with, each one under a different user account. This is inconvenient, because I have to logout of one user account and login to another user account simply to be able to work with another schema.
Thanks

It isn't possible to have multiple schemas under one database user account. It is of course possible to grant rights to other database users, and or roles, in order to allow access to the tables/data from other accounts. In Oracle there is a one-one mapping between schema and user.
