My Skype number already being used.

I purchased a Skype number in New Zealand and rang it - it is used by a business.  What do I do.

  • Skype number already in use

    I just signed up for a skype number subscription and it works just fine when calling from skype to mobile or landline but when my skype number is called from a mobile or landline it goes to a business that is already using that number. Who do i contact to get a different number?

  • Skype Number Already In Use By Someone Else

    I have just bought a Skype number and when my contacts ring it, it is answered by another company. I have just had a conversation with this company and they are a legitimate business and "my" skype number is their legitimate phone number.  How can I cancel my Skype number?

    Hello martm81
    Apologies for this mix-up. Please contact Customer Support and let them know your assigned Skype Number is an existing number, so they can cancel your subscription and remove it from the database.

  • Serial number already being used

    I recently purchased a copy of Acrobat 9.  After installing on my computer and putting the serial number in it is telling me that it has already been installed on two computers.  It was brand new and unopened prior to me opening it to install on my computer.  How can it already be on two computers? tried uninstalling and repeating the installation process with the same result.  What can i do to get this to work?

    It is probably worth contacting the seller in the first instance, to see if they can shed any light on it. Why were they selling ancient software and are you really sure it was unused? If it was a license transfer, you need paperwork from them otherwise Adobe consider the license hasn't transferred. Adobe may be able to help, but they will need to know answers to these sorts of questions, and Acrobat 9 support has now ended, so don't be too hopeful.

  • In trying to use my mail email address to get on facetime on my iphone  it says error: that address is already being used

    In trying to add my most used email address to connect to facetime on my iphone I receive an error message saying I cannot use that address as it is already being used.

    FaceTime works over the internet. You place a FT call to an iPhone using the iPhone's phone number, no matter the device; iPhone, iTouch, iPad or Mac, making the call. FT calls all go through Apple's server farms and the iPhones are registered by their phone number in the FT data base.
    Using FaceTime
    Once configured and enabled on your iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac, FaceTime will automatically receive incoming calls from other FaceTime users as long as your iOS device is connected to a Wi-Fi network, or your Mac is connected to the Internet—the latter in any way.
    Outgoing FaceTime calls must be initiated by selecting a contact in your address book—there is no means to manually dial a FaceTime phone number or e-mail address. This means that anybody you wish to contact via FaceTime must be in your address book.
    To place calls to a FaceTime user on an iPhone, you must use their cellular phone number. An iPhone cannot register for FaceTime with an e-mail address. To place calls to a FaceTime user on an iPod touch or a Mac you must use one of their registered FaceTime e-mail addresses that is configured on that particular device.
    This may be a little out of date, as you can now register an email address for an iPhone I believe, but the address should be unique to the iPhone.

  • After finally getting my imac from fedex,  cannot get past the Update Apple ID and to use ICloud I have to change my app  id.  okay, but the red keeps saying that email address is already being used.  is it because I am on the apple site on a netbook pc?

    On the Update Apple ID screen to use ICloud, I get a red message that email address is already being used.  It does not accept my email address?  I do not understand what the screen is asking me.  Is this because I am using the apple ID on a netbook for this note or what. 
    Is there a way to bypass this screen if I don't want to use ICloud?  I don't want to screw up the original setup of my imac.  If I could get to the desktop, then I would know what OS and programs are in my machine. 

    Hi, hopefully you've called Apple on this... you have 90 days free phone support.

  • I'm trying to set up my iPad2.  I am entering my Apple ID and get a message that says "try another apple id, this ID is already being used.  The only time I've used this Apple ID (my email), is when I bought a mac for my college student.

    Thank you...I had selected the incorrect option to create an Apple ID....so backing up a few pages and doing as you stated worked!

  • Audio Stream Recorder - Error: Audio device is already being used by another prog

    I realized that Audio Stream Recorder is does not "work" through server list feature. So I am simply trying to use the manual method of adding URL's to the interface. However regardless of the type of stream, shoutcast, windows media or real audio, I receive the error "audio device is already being used by another program". Does anyone know how to fix this? I have closed my audio application etc to no avail. <RANT WARNING> I was very excited about using this application when I read about it. However an application that provides none of the stated features is not an application, its false advertising, since it clearly states on the box, help files and website this products "features". Anyway, it'ss very disappointing. Also, does anyone know what the supported steaming formats are, the help file say the application requires RealONE and Windows Media Player but does not mention audio stream formats? Thanks you in advance for any help.

    I have the same issue. I updated to the latest software, to no avail. My first suspicion is that some Microsoft patch caused this, but I cannot verify this.
    Apparently no one at Creative is very interested in this issue.

  • HT4848 Is it possible to partition an external hard drive that is already being used for Time Machine backups without it being erased?

    I'm want to use my current external hard drive, which I use for Time Machine Backup, as a recovery disk for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. From what I have read, the recovery disk assistant will erase all data on the external drive unless it is partitioned. Can I partition my current backup drive without erasing it, even though it is already being used for Time Machine?

    It's very simple to test.  Turn off your computer.  Have your time machine backup plugged in.  Hold option and turn it on, keeping option held.  Do you see your time machine drive?  If so, select it and press enter. You'll end up in recovery.  If it works, there you go.  Then just click the apple and restart to get back to your regular desktop.  Then you'll know for when you're ready to do the deed.
    Edit...
    I'm not sure if time machine will think it's an entirely different computer, though, when a hard drive changed, making an actual restore not doable.  Either way, you could still reinstall mt lion fresh and then just migrate after, skipping the need for SL.

  • IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request

    How to read binary data in JSP. I know, in servlets it can be done and JSP can handle only character data. When i try to open res.getOutputStream(), it is throwing the following exception:"IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request". Is there any workaround in JSP?

    Can you save the file to a location in your server ? Even if you are creating a dynamic image, all you get is a byte array which can be stored in your server. If you can do so, you can set the content type and display the content as mentioned above.

  • He iTunes Store account entered is already being used for an iTunes Connect account that distributes Apps

    I am getting the following message when trying to sign up with iTunesConnect for selling our companies eBooks.
    "The iTunes Store account entered is already being used for an iTunes Connect account that distributes Apps. To continue with this application, you must enter a different iTunes account."
    The email account I am using is not being used for distributing apps. We need to sell ebooks.
    We DO have a developer account to sell apps but it is a different email address (confirmed).
    How should I go about getting this straitened so we can get into iTunesConnect?

    That worked, thank you very much! The Apple support document is quite misleading then.
