Random Connections via Skype (resource Manager) , Random Skype Requests, Random Webcam Light On
Hi, I have seen my webcam light turn on, many connections with netstat, and Resource Manager shows that they are from Skype.exe. What is happening? (at least 20 connections O.O) I also get a couple random requests per week. I have not installed anything or made changes to my PC. Please tell me what happened? Can you see someones IP with a Skype request?

Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.

When my iPhone is connected (via the Lightning cable) to the usb port in my car, the alert tones are no longer played through the car speaker or the phone. This previously worked, but has randomly stopped working. help!
I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty. -
I'm having strange random connection failures. Are there ineffieciency in my config?
I've been having strange, random connection failures and I'm trying to eliminate possible causes.
What happens is while I'm browsing on the net over wifi, a link will at random not connect to the site, but instead fault to the ISP error page. It happens with highly reliable sites like google, or ebay, or whatever. If I direct connect to the cable modem, the problem site is immediately available.
I'm sitting <6 feet from a 871W router (with antenna). There's one router in my building and others are at my neighbors.
Below is the conf file. Just to imagine how rediculious this problem is, here's a screen shot from a web page. This shows a web page I visited, and after clicking on a link (an embedded youtube video), the error showed up within the page itself.
Why would only some URLs fail to connect? Is there inefficiencies in my config?

endI removed the ip router 0 0 to no great effect, which I consider to be a win.
I'm guessing that since overload is what--I understand--translates the one outside to the many inside IPs, that the suggestion to have only one overload configured means I should combine the two ip ranges into one.
I deleted 10.0.0.0 network. Changed the bridge references to 1 and vlan references to 1. Now wifi and ethernet should all be using the same internal network? That's the idea, right? Any more fat?

Some questions about Skype Manager and Skype Conne...
Hallo,
I found one of your post:
That, if I have some questions I may contact with Contact our solutions team
Sadly that link wont work...
I have few questions and also I contacted with Microsoft support, but sadly they wasn’t able to help me. Only what they suggests, that I may contact with Skype Team trough to Forum, or Facebook...
So, I choose first one and maybe you can help me, or redirect my question !?
About my questions:
As I understand Skype for business is just name what contain two free software, like Skype manager and Skype connect. Also those are free, without charge ?
Also I read that there are two different accounts, like Premium and regular one. Premium contains some benefit. So, If I use that Skype for business manager system to I may or can add some premium accounts for some my staff and leave others with regular account ? I don’t have that manager systems installed jet, but what I read, I understand that I maybe just split credit - or is there way how I may also share regular and premium conots ?
Also, Right now my customers have 25 workers, but what - if soon my another customer also want to use Skype Service, and he have 50 - 100 workers ? Will be there special price for different amount of users on one firm ?
And at last, firm who I represent right now are using Elion VoiP (Elion, is Estonian ISP) service, trough to xLite program.
Sadly that one wont work properly, it will hack, or you cant hear other people and so on. With, Skype everything works fine. So, if he will starting to use Skype manger and will make account for every workers (sips) can he bound those sips with same VoiP numbers what he will use right now with Elion ? Or if not, is there some way how to redirect those numbers (to lose those numbers, is sadly out of question) ?
I hope, you can help me guy´s.
Best regards
RainerTere Rainer,
indeed we don't have the solutions team offer any longer. Let me try to answer some of your questions here.
Skype Manager and Skype Connect itself are free of charge. But obviously you can purchase and distribute paid products via Skype Manager.
Yes, you can freely distribute Premium subscription to Manager group members and leave others without. You can do the same with all kind of Skype products, e.g. Skype numbers, calling subscriptions etc.
There are no discounts with Skype Manager purchases. It's a tool to simplify administration.
Unfortunately you cannot transfer numbers to Skype connect. For more details on which features are supported and how they work please have a look here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10549/what-is-skype-connect-and-how-does-it-work
I hope my answers could help a bit already.

List/manage all skype names associated with single...
Hi,
I have multiple skype names associated with single email id.
When i click on forgot password, skype asks for email id and when i provide email id(which is associated with say 5 skype names), it randomly selects one of the user name and generates a link/code for reset password.
Is there any way i can list/manage all skype names associated with single email id.jel wrote:
hi there.
I've been using Skype for years now with a single Skype name, and I noticed some time ago when doing a password reset that someone has signed up for Skype using my email address. I presume because they failed to spell their own email address correctly. (I get a TON of email coming in addressed incorrectly for various people (not spam) because people can't spell their own name or the name of their friend or acquaintaince - quite annoying really. But I guess that's a problem with using a gmail account.)
So now I have 3 Skype names associated with my email address, when there should be only 1. Is there any way to have those 2 extra Skype names removed from my email address? I searched on Skype and both of them belong to someone with the same name 'Gabriel' in the United States (I'm in Australia). I assume it's the same person.
I just don't want people searching for my email address and thinking that person is me...
Thanks.
you can simply contact customer support to request to unlink your email address from those unknown accounts;

Online Number: Individual vs. Skype Business Manag...
I am the president of a small, non-profit professional organization who are experimenting with holding their board meetings via phone conference. I am wondering if it will be less expensive for me to get an online number as an individual or for me to get an online number through Skype business manager subscription.

IMHO. I think you need to determine if you would like a single method to fund Skype services to other Skype names you can create using the Business Manager as well as if you intend to share a Skype name with others.
Sadly, if you intend to share a Skype name, those that have the password for that Skype name, who maybe need it to answer calls from that Online Number, could change the password to that Skype name, if that Skype namecreated by the Business Manager was assigned the Online Number from the Business Manager in that case, the password can be easily reset.
That said. If that Skype name was not created by the Business Manager, an angry person having access to that Skype name and password, might change the password and then you maybe at their mercy to be able to answer calls from that "Online Number" assigned to that Skype name and/or access to other Skype services assigned to that Skype name. as well.
So, there are some security benefits as well as single source funding/payment benefits to consider one over the other based on what you might want and do now or in the future.

Server running DNS, OD Master, AFP & SMB
Screen sharing works 100%, just random issues with file sharing. SMB works fine, just happens when connecting via AFP.Hi
As far as I know this unit was delivered with the Atheros WLan card.
Usually the Atheros client utility should be preinstalled on this unit and should be use to configure the WLan connection and options.
I dont know if you use it, but if not check it.
Furthermore I would recommend checking the WLan driver version. Maybe a new release is available on the Toshiba website.
However, mostly the hardware compatibility between the WLan router and the WLan card is responsible for such issues (connection delays, etc) -
Bluetooth randomly connecting to devices?
Been having this weird issue in our office. I have a 2014 MBP running Yosemite, and there are 2 new iMacs and a nMPro on the same network also running Yosemite. One of my partners also has a Bose Bluetooth speaker. FYI the other Macs and I all have bluetooth Magic Mouses.
My MBP has been randomly connecting to these other Macs/devices randomly, on it's own. The other Macs will show up as a connected device, even though I have never connected to any of them previously (nor would I, since there's no good reason to connect to them via BT since we're all on the same network already). The Bluetooth speaker is a device I've connected to in the past, but it's automatically connecting to it and that's annoying; just today he was listening to music through it from his MBP (running 10.8) and my MBP interrupted that and attempted to take over the speaker from his Mac.
Previously I found a post about deleting some BT prefs to knock off the connecting to other Macs -- but the article blamed this on the other machines, not mine. I'm starting to wonder if it's not me though; is there something I should delete on my end to clear this mess up?
TIA,
JVKThe only thing I can think of is to reset the device(s).
Be sure, of course, that Bluetooth is set to on.
What are you trying to connect?

Random Connection Closed Errors using UCP
Hey All;
I am trying to figure out why we are seeing quite a few random connection closed errors in our applications that are using Oracle UCP ver 11.2.0.1.0 connection pooling.
The errors happen at arbitrary jdbc usage source code locations (e.g.: spots that check a connection's auto commit mode, spots that spool through a result set, spots that do yada..) that consume a connection, and are not affiliated with what is being done with the connection (SQL being ran).
The architecture is Tomcat 7, hitting Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 (RAC). The structure of the code (it's a web app) is such that we have a servlet filter that assigns a http request thread a connection from the pool on an incoming request, then that same connection is closed at the completion of that request's handling. No code uses connections other than code related to handling an http request. And, no threads are spawned off of that request handling thread. And, no code whatsoever (other than the servlet filter's finally block) ever closes a DB connection.
Also, the number of connections in the pool is quite adequate for the usage of the pool. That is, the ceiling is likely never hit. Even if it were---- having an outstanding connection suddenly 'closed out' wouldn't be the proper behavior there.
What are the things that can cause a connection to be 'closed out from under you' ? Meaning, the connection is valid when taken from the pool, but arbitrarily in the middle of usage--- it gets closed.
I am pretty stumped at this point.
Any ideas?
Thanks--Here are a few sample stacks. Keep in mind that the line of code where the exception actually happens is arbitrary. We see the exception happen at ANY line that is a consumer of a connection. For example... it could happen that it blows up on the 'Nth' iteration while trucking through a result set. Suddenly at say... iteration 143 the connection is suddenly closed out from under the connection's handle.
As far as threads are concerned, each http request that creates a controller servlet instance is assigned it's own connection to use through the handling of that request. That connection instance is assigned as a ThreadLocal instance. Any DB usage that thread has is via that connection. The servlet filter ensures the handle is assigned when the request comes in, then is cleaned up as that request is completely handled in the same filter's finally block (this is a pattern that dozens of web apps we have have been using for going on 10 years now). This is not an ejb app. Straight Tomcat 7 web app using MVC pattern where C is a servlet.
The curious thing here in my mind is that we only have two apps in our collection that are using this new UCP pooling driver (most other are using a tomcat pool). And, only those two are seeing this behavior.
I am not balking at the threads concern--- it's just hard to square that with how we handle threading in such a 'single thread per http request' manner.
And, if it were the case that the pool is handing out the same connection handle to more than one thread because of having multiple entrant threads to the pool accessor method---- it's difficult to buy that it's that common for us to have multiple entrant threads at the same moment in those very short time span it takes for a pool to hand out a connection (given the traffic usage pattern for the app).
Here are the 'known deltas' I am aware of between the two apps that have this behavior, and the couple of dozen we have that do not:
1) these two apps are on Tomcat 7 (most others are Tom 5, Resin, or JBoss)
2) these two apps are using the Ora UCP pool. (most others use Tomcat pool)

My kids have an eMac connected via Airport and wireless router to our cable internet. The systems works great, but randomly (and regularly) loses its connectivitiy. Sometimes it even tells me there is no Airport found! The wireless signal is sound, because I can access it just fine on a pc laptop used in the next room.
Often I can restart and all is fine, but sometimes even restarting doesn't work. What might be causing this?? My daughter is fit to be tied, and I am stumped.
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Are the Airport drops truely random, or do they usually occur after a wake from system sleep? If the latter, the kludge workaround is to set System Preferences > Energy Saver to sleep the display only, with system and hard drive sleep set to never.
Also, check System Preferences > Network, Show: network Status, and if necessary, drag Airport to the top of the list (above Built-in Ethernet).
There have been persistient problems with some (but by no means all) user's setups dropping Airport connections. There doesn't seem to be any single consisitent common feature to those having the problem, nor any common fix. Some of the things mentioned as helping have been to check for router firmware updates, check for updated Airport software, and run the stand-alone OS X Update Combo 10.4.9 (PPC) if you updated to 10.4.9 via Software Update. If you have Parallels / Windows XP software, check for identical IP number conflicts. There are too many related threads on this problem in both the Airport and 10.4 Networking areas of the Discussions to be able to track them all, but those appear to be the most-suggested tips.
Another possibility: do the drops seem to correlate with calls in or out via a cordless 2.4 GHz phone? In that case, it could be interference from a noisey phone base. Swiching to a newer 5.7 GHz phone (or an older 800 MHz one) would help in that situation. -
FaceTime does not connect, iChat video does not work, Skype video does not work (LION)
Hi everyone,
I am using OS X 10.7.3 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2 Ghz Intel Core I7 8GG 1333MHz DDR3 RAM 500GB HD.
What happens when I try to call someone in FaceTime: Webcam light is on and I see myself on my screen. It rings and after a while it says "X is not available for FaceTime (or similar).
In iChat I can text chat, but video calls do not work. In Skype, I can do audio talking, but when I try to use my video, it fails to connect.
This seems to indicate to me that there is a system-wide, rather than user or program-specific problem, in which my system cannot connect to others when using my webcam.
Can anyone offer any guidance on this matter? I am pretty tech savvy. On my home network I have tried port forwarding/opening and all that, without luck. I am worried that maybe I could have made a mistake in terminal or something some time ago, but I don't go in there very often and it is usually for very specific things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am moving away for four months, and I really need this to work so that I can chat with my lovely girlfriend. Please see the notes below prior to commenting.
Cheers
Notes:
Internet is working fine. I use three different network, one of which is wired and works fine.
I have tried to create new users, still no luck
Webcam works fine in PhotoBooth
I am logged into FaceTime properly (this is simple, right?)
Reinstalling OS X to fix this problem is not an option
I have tried FaceTime with several people with several devices (e.g., iPad, iMac, iPhone)
FaceTime on my iPhone works with other people on same networkPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Since I upgraded to Moutain Lion I'm dealing with wifi problems : no connection or random connection
Since I upgraded to Moutain Lion I'm dealing with wifi problems : no connection or random connection. With OS X Lion wifi was OK.
So, Darrall, it seems to be fixed. Mind you, this has happened through a seemingly unrelated, but hopefully replicable sequence of events. You be the judge.
I went to my other login account, which as it happens is also an admin account. Voila, the secondary click worked fine. So I returned to my primary account, where I did the following:
First, I unpaired the trackpad. then I remembered I needed something to move the mouse with, so I re-paired the magic mouse I'd had before. I thought I'd turned off the trackpad, but apparently not, so the computer re-paired it automatically. None of this had any immediate effect, as you'd imagine.
Then I went to Mission Control in Preferences. There, I deselected "Show dashboard as a space", and in the hotcorners, I deselected Mission Control from the bottom left, where it had been. I didn't replace it.
Now, my secondary click works. Uh huh. I was suspicious that it might have more to do with Mission Control and/or Dashboard than the trackpad, only because I'd beaten that horse till my arm hurt and this was all I could think of.
Never did I imagine this would get fixed short of creating a new login account and somehow copying everything - since I didn't know what was wrong, I could easily have copied the error too - so I'm very pleased and relieved. If you haven't fixed yours yet, try this. Let me know what happens! -
Suddenly the mSSQL-server has stopped working, and the application doesn't have any connection to it.
Also, I cant connect locally via SQL Server Management Studio.
Any ideas on where to start?
Have SQL Server 2008 R2Try DAC first:

If that fails, go to Configuration Manager and restart the server.

Just spent over an hour on chat with skype agent, finally was told OOOPS we are having a problem when a skype client tries to
a. remove a member from a managed account
Here is my problem, I have 2 skype numbers under 2 skype accounts NOT manager accts, I am trying to just combine my skype existance and there is no easy way to do this. This is a very frusterating situation, I only want to be able to manage all my skype numbers and accounts in one manager and way back somehwere years ago I created 2 manager accounts, how can I fix this, customer desk is no helpHi Cowboynm,
I understand your concerns regarding account managers information. When you add an account manager you can only designate a phone number that is part of your account; since you have only one line you can only select the one number on the account. Once you select the number you will be able to enter an email address. If you continue to experience difficulties adding your daughter as an account manager please follow me and send me a direct message with your full name and account information and I will reach out to you to assist you.
