Need help with understanding Skype Number please

Hi there,
Not sure if this is posted twice!
I live in the UK and am trying to offer online coaching through a company in America. I can only offer live chat sessions if I have a US or Canadian number. Is it a Skype Number that I need? Why would it matter which State I choose - will people only be able to contact me from that State?
Would be really grateful for some clarity.
Many thanks,
Solved!

Hi, Tracy255, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, for several reasons, Skype Numbers are not available in Canada.
The concept of any virtual number is to provide a way for people who do not have accounts on the service to contact the subscriber, but using a fixed line or land line number. In the case of Skype Numbers in the United States, the best scenario would be to have a number set up where most of your customers would be able to call without incurring high toll charges or ideally no toll charges. Of note, not all states participate in the Skype Number program, again for any number of legitimate reasons.
Skype does not offer "toll-free" numbers.
Here is a link to the library of FAQ articles related to Skype Numbers seeing as I believe you will have more questions than I have provided information for!
https://support.skype.com/en/category/ONLINE_NUMBER_SKYPEIN/
Please pardon the naming convention confusion; today's Skype Numbers where formerly known as Online Numbers or Skype In.
Regards,
Elaine

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Need Help with Migration...Please

Hello,
I need help! I just bought a new MacBook Pro. In house, I have a two year old iMac running Mavericks (all updated) and an iPhone and iPad (both running the most current OS). I also have the iMac connected to a Time Capsule. Here are my questions:
1. As I am not replacing the iMac, but rather adding a MacBook Pro to the mix, should I migrate the software, settings, files, etc. from the iMac to the MacBook? Is there an issue running computers which are clones in the same environment? Is it a bad idea to migrate?
2. Assuming # 1 is okay to migrate, what is the best way? Is it best directly from the iMac or from the Time Capsule? I do have a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter on hand.
3. Is there a link that would help me navigate the migration?
4. How long should the migration in #2 take?
5. Will I need to change any settings on the iMac, iPhone, or iPad afterwards?
6. Will my contacts and calendar sync with iCloud automatically, or do I have to change a setting on the MacBook to make that happen?
7. Also, as I'm leaving town tomorrow and want to take the MacBook Pro with me and I'm unsure I've the time to Migrate and tweak, can I jus turn on the MacBook (still not turned on), use it as it is, and then migrate when I get back home?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you!

Need Help with new site glitches PLEASE!!!

I need help trouble shooting a website. The site is
www.farrowandwatkins.com. Nav buttons on Mac they display correctly
which is aligned at top and bottom of content to left on Home page.
However, when viewed on PC, the buttons spread to fill the
distance of the "Patients" Page. All the pages spread to this
length also, but are not suppose to.
Nav buttons have padding of 10 on bottom, except last one.
Please help if you can

First guess would be that there doesn't seem to be a fixed
height or width on the cell for the 'patients' button.

I need help with the https class please.

Hello, i need add an authentication field in my GET request using HTTPS to authenticate users. I put the authentication field using the setRequestProperty method, but it doesn't appear when i print all properties using the getRequestProperties method. I wrote the following code:
try{
URL url = new URL ("https://my_url..");
URLConnection conexion;
conexion = url.openConnection();
conexion.setRequestProperty("Authorization",my_urlEncoder_string);
conexion.setRequestProperty("Host",my_loginServer);
HttpsURLConnection httpsConexion = (HttpsURLConnection) conexion;
httpsConexion.setRequestMethod("GET");
System.out.println("All properties\r\n: " + httpsConexion.getRequestProperties());
}catch ....
when i run the program it show the following text:
All properties: {Host=[my_loginServer]}
Only the Host field is added to my HttpsURLConnection. The authentication field doesnt appear in standar output. How can i add to my HttpsURLConnection an Authentication field?
thanks

I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

I am trying to sync a single band from my laptop to my iPhone. This is my new laptop and I have no transfered all my music from my old computer onto here, so I can not sync through the cable or else I will have to remove all my exsisting information on my phone, I do not have all my music on my laptop yet. All I want is to simply transfer a few songs from my iTunes to my phone wirelessly and I can't. I enabled the button when I plug in my phone that tells me I can sync wirelessly but when I disconnect it refuses to work. Please I need help.

I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" and I tried to install an anti virus but then it went into a grey folder with a question mark I need help with restoring the iOS please

I need help taking out the grey folder with the question mark and I've try everything except the CD thing because my MacBook didn't come with one so I really need help please

What anti-virus software did you install? Although there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there, no anti-virus software should cause such a problem. A gray screen with a flashing question mark on a folder means that no bootable system could be found, which means that the system was badly damaged or corrupt. Even installing bad software would not normally cause that, so either there was something badly wrong with the system already or the anti-virus software you tried to install was really, really bad!
As mende1 says, you need to reinstall the system at this point. After your system is back up and running, read my Mac Malware Guide. If, after reading that, you want anti-virus software, use one of the programms recommended in that guide.

I need help with the navigation menu please?

I have been working my way through your six part printed instructions and I am styling the header and navigation menu. The bullet points disappeared which was correct and the tabs moved to the right, as they should, but one tab sits underneath another tab and all tabs are covered up by my main heading. This is dreamweaver CS6.
It looks a bit of a mess!

Need help with Rounding a number.

I have 3 cells each with a formula in them. Please bear with me while I try to explain this.
Cell D18 contains the formula: =Sum(L18/C5) (L18's value is 58, C5's value is 10), So the value of the cell is 5.8. I need this number to round properly to 6. It does visually on the spreadsheet.
Cell F18 contains the formula: =Sum(E18/F5) (E18=28, F5=8) So the actual value of F18 is 3.5 which is rounded to 4 visually on the spreadsheet.
Cell G18 contains the formula =Sum(D18+F18). (D18 visually displays 6, F18 visually displays 4, therefore G18 should display 10). G18 actually displays 9. For some reason the calculations are still based on the actual calculations of D18 & F18, instead of the rounded displayed numbers. How do I get G18 to display the correct number of 10, rather than the rounded down number of 9?
I'm sure there's a simple fix that I'm just not understanding. I hope I explained my problem well enough, I'd appreciate any help I can get. These numbers are to calculate insulin dosage, so I need to be sure the math is correct.
Thanks in advance for any help!

The explanation is that you don't understand what you are doing.
When you ask numbers to display 0 decimal, you don't ask it to round the contents but to display the rounded value.
A contents remains 3.6 but the display is 4
an other contents may be 3.6 too displaying 4
When you sum, you ask number to add the contents (3.6 + 3.6) which is 7.2 and you ask it to display the rounded value of this result. So you correctly see 7 not 8.
If you want to get what you described, you MUST force Numbers to round.
First,I don't understand how you may invent such a silly thing like =Sum(L8/C5)
You are asking Numbers to sum the result of the division L8/C5 to nothing.
The correct syntax would ask it to calculate the quotient, no less no more.
=L8/C5
but here we need to round so, in D18, enter
=ROUND(L8/C5,0)
in F18, enter
=ROUND(E8/F5,0)
In G18, =Sum(D18+F18) is silly too.
You are asking nummber to sum (D18+F18) and nothing.
The correct formula may be:
=SUM(D18,F18)
or
=D18+F18
