Now Skype owned by Microsoft and I get Junk

Can anyone explain this conundrum. For years I have been with Skype and never had any issues with getting strange friend requests, or junk. Now move over to Microsoft and surprisingly I get stuff starting. Strange friend requests from numbers not people and strange calls can anyone enlighten me as to why this is happening. Supposidly my Skype experience will be better now that Microsoft are at the helm but in my case this has not happened.

Also, take a look at this idea and give it kudos.

    When I hook my ipod up to my mac I used to get the Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted error message. It would then sync all my song to the ipod but when I ejected it, none of the songs would be on the ipod. Now I hook it up and I get the Mac OS X can't repair the disk error message. Then the spinning colored pinwheel pops up and I can't use iTunes. Please HELP!!!!!!

    Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

    Your best bet is probably to start over by cleaning off the old software with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then reinstall from your original media, or download it here:

    Reinstall OS X, either from disc or a recovery partition. You don't mention which version of OS X you're running so I don't know which it will be.

  • Unable to make skype linked to microsoft and faceb...

    hello,
    i have skype facebook: account since couple of months. i have open an account with microsoft outlook today. i couldn't make it linked to my old skype account. 
    how could i make skype microsoft and skype facebook all linked?

    I don't understand how this system works. Because, reading this post"60minutes per month subscription gives you 60minutes per month, purchasing it 5 times in a row will still be 60minutes per month." Why does skype allow payment if the subscription convers only 60 minutes? It would allow payment after the subscription period is ended. Now what? I lost my money? Losing money doesnt matter, I wanted this call because it was an urgent call. I lost something more with this subscription. I would pay for nimbuzz and I would be happier than I am now. Such a big organization and such a big application allow some misunderstanding things. This service realy sucks and won't use it anymore. I will ask other people, if they had similar problems.

  • I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I did it again. Now it will not run and I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I can't figure out what is running.

    Because of a problem, I uninstalled Firefox once, reinstalled it and it ran. I had a problem so I uninstalled/reinstalled it again. Now it will not run. I get an error message saying that firefox is running and you can only run one at a time. I have uninstalled multiple times and can't figure out what is running. The is only one Firefox installed and it is not open. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.

  • I synced my Iphone 3G to my desktop Windows computer - now I own a Macpro and want to use that as my phones synced comp.  How do I switch?

    I synced my Iphone3G to my desktop windows computer.  I now own a MacPro and want to swap my phone sync to this laptop instead. Any ideas how?

    Try this way:
    set up your iTunes account, disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new Mac and right click on it in the device list and choose backup.iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

    So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

    This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
    Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
    Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
    This is why I recommend that
    I can't help you any farther.
    It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
    Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

  • When initially entering a website password FF ASKS "SAVE PW FOR THIS SITE?" I have now CHANGED the website PW, and cannot get FF to "forget" the old PW and then save the new one!

    I changed my GMail password the other day. I now have to type it in every time I access my mail as I cannot get Firefox (v.3.6.3) to ask me "Remember PW for this site?" (as it always AUTOMATICALLY does when FIRST entering a website password). Why does FF not automatically offer the "Save PW?" option AGAIN when one CHANGES the access PW of a site previously visited? Can one "force" a password to be remembered?

    If the name stays the same and you only need to change (update) the stored password then fill the name in the login form and let Firefox fill the wrong password.
    You may have to press the Tab key to fill the password field.
    If you replace the wrong password with the new password then Firefox should offer to store the new password.
    Use the ''Remember Password'' bookmarklet on websites that use "autocomplete=off" to prevent Firefox from saving passwords.
    You can verify that Firefox has stored the new password: Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
    If that didn't work then remove that name and password and Firefox should offer to save the new password on the next visit or if you refresh the login page.

  • TS3742 Installed Cisco Linksys VUSB.  Now my MacBook Air restarts and I get a kernel panic

    Bought a new Cisco Linksys router a few weeks ago.  Had to install their VUSB to manage the peripherals.  Now I keep getting this panic message and my MB Air restarts whenever I log out. How do I fix this?

    Same issue here.
    If Cisco VUSB is running (in the dock) when the Macbook Air goes to sleep, when it awakens a kernel panic occurs every time.  Now I've had to set Cisco VUSB to not launch upon startup to ensure I don't forget about it when putting my Macbook Air to sleep.  Very annoying.
    Thread on CISCO\Linksys forums: http://community.linksys.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/VUSB-OS-X-10-8-2-and-Auto-Conne ct/td-p/620126
    I'm on 10.8.4... and this is Cisco VUSB 1.2.0 (SXUPTP Driver 1.10.0).
