Re: Skype number the same as someone else's number...

I have a similar issue. Someone is calling me relentlessly using my own skype number. I need to keep it open to get business calls, so I can't restrict access. I have the number associated with all my business accounts, and I need to keep it. How can I protect my number? I bought it years ago, the problems have only started since skype's purchase by microsoft.

Hi, Kimbakar, and welcome to the Community,
Cancelling a Skype Number subscription is the same as cancelling any subscription: sign on to the Skype website or transfer to your account from your Skype client software, and click on the Manage Subscriptions: Skype Number, and cancel (please see screen shot, below; the "cancel" button is highlighted in orange). Skype Customer Service can also assist with this. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

Online number the same as an existing phone number...

Okay, I'll ask this a second time. I'm starting to wonder if there's actually a customer service department around here or not...
I am a Phoenix area resident, but I'm currently working overseas. I set up a Skype online number so that people could call me back home. In particular, I am getting ready to start grad school and I need this number available to take calls from my advisors.
Unfortunatley, I get about 2-3 calls per day from different numbers. People claim that someone from my number keeps calling them and hanging up. Obviously, this is not true. I'm not even logged in unless I'm home.
Because I am expecting important calls on this number, I can not block calls that are not on my contacts. That would block calls from people whom I need to speak to. I need this mystery resolved as quickly as possible. I have paid good money for this number and I do not want to have to shut it off.
Is there any actual customer service department here, or am I on my own? When I posted the question, I didn't mean "Oh, ignore it and make me wait 6 days."

I own a small business and use Skype as my outgoing calls from my home and kept a basic At&t incoming groundline into my home. The problem is sometimes potential clients just call back on the number in their caller ID instead of my home number.
I would like to make my displayed number from me on Skype to people I call showing my home telephone number. Can this be done?
Thanks, JT
The only way you could make your home number appear as Caller ID when you call from Skype is if your home number can receive the SMS messages sent by Skype in the verification process. In most places, landline phones are not able to receive SMS messages, so your landline telephone carrier would be able to answer that. If the landline number can't receive SMS messages, then you would not be able to use it as Caller ID with Skype.

I am not a Skype employee. No soy un empleado de Skype.

I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information. For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user. If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

Hi Mahmoudmuhmd,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The telephone number on your Apple ID is tied to iMessages. You may need to change the password for your Apple ID account to prevent others from using it. Here are some articles that will help with this:

How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G. I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information. How do i do that?

The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

HT1386 I have an app called ipieta which was originally downloaded onto an ipod. I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do. It won't work.

I gave the ipod to someone else, but now that I've had the iphone I can not get the audio even though it is downloaded into itunes music like it said to do. It won't work. I've tried more than several times to get help but nothing helps. Do I need to deauthorize the ipod or perhaps erase all the downloaded ipieta stuff and start over?
Thanks for any suggestions

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

I have been using Photoshop and Lightroom for years, purchasing upgrades. If I join CC do I have to pay the same as someone new to PS and Lightroom?

Adobe usually offers discounts on the full Creative Cloud (all apps) for customers with CS3 or later. However the Photography plan (Photoshop and LR) Is $9.99 pm (or local currency) and the initial benefits for CS customers who took what was then called The Photography Program (larger cloud storage) has now ended.

Keeping one number the same in a function

How can I keep one number the same in a function? I want to do something like =(E4/E2) and keep the "E2" the same as I drag the function down the row.
Thanks

Kerwin,
To change the cell reference to Absolute, use the $-sign character when entering it from the keyboard, or use the drop-down menu in the Formula Bar presentation to select Absolute. You must choose absolute for Row, Column, or both.
In this case, you would have: =(E4/$E$2).

Is the serial number the same as the license key for Lightroom 5?

I have Adobe Lightroom 5 on my Mac and Lightroom works great. I want to do a clean install of OS X on the Mac. That means I will have to erase and reinstall Lightroom. I will need the license key for Lightroom. I couldn’t find anything that says License Key, but I do have the serial number of my copy of Lightroom. Is the serial number the same as the license key?

Yes.

Why can't I run Safari and Skype at the same time without making my computer freeze up?

I can't believe I can't run Safari and Skype at the same time without my computer freezing up, it's a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8 and it has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 2.2 Ghz and 2 Gb of RAM. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?

I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

Is the serial number the same..

Is the serial number the same on all creative Rhomba 256MB mp3 players? Or is this individual for all Rhomba players?:smileyindifferent:

Martemarte,
The serial number is different for all of the Rhomba players. It should be found on the back of the player on a sticker.

Wanting to deactivate PS Elements on Mac and transfer program to a friend. Is it OK to download a trial to my friend's Mac and use my serial number. Also is the serial number the same for Mac and Win versions? Many thanks.

Yes it should work transferring PSE10 from Mac to Mac. There is a download link below for PSE10, which your friend could use. There is a formal licence transfer process but it’s not necessary for your friend to register the product (activation is sufficient) although he couldn’t benefit from future upgrade pricing without registration. Serial numbers typically can only be registered one time.
Boxed versions of PSE are normally multi-platform with disks for both Windows and Mac; so the serial number is the same. Downloads have tended to be single platform only although I believe the current version PSE12 will work on both Windows and Mac with the same serial number – boxed or download.

Bought Skype Number, but goes to someone else?

I just got assigned a skype number, and I sent an SMS to it to verify it was working. Instead of receiving it somewhere in my Skype account, someone responds asking who I am.
Apparently Skype sold me a phone number that's in use by someone else already? What the hell, and how do I resolve this?

How can I stop someone from receiving iMessages on their old disconnected iPhone, w'hich is still active in iMessage, when the number now belongs to someone else with a non apple device!?!

To further clarify my dilemma ....
A friend of mine just got a new phone number on her LG cell phone.
When I try to text her, my messages are going to someone else's iPhone.
The iPhone has been deactivated off the VZ cell network, but they are still using it on WIFI.
They used to have this number on their iPhone, and it's still active in iMessage.
So, when I try to send a text message to my friend on her LG, from my iPhone,
they instead go to this total stranger, cuz they still have that number active in their iMessage account.
This is a serious issue!!
The only suggestion I get from apple support is to have my friend get a new number, or for me to turn off iMessage when I want to text her.
Not really the optimum solution.
Something really should be done to prevent this from happening!
Strangers are effectively intercepting text messages!
Help!?!

Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses? I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name. I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected], always the same def address.
I can't fathom it out.
Thanks
Terri

Try this:
Start a new email. In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
A small triangle next to the name will show up. click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List. Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
Good luck.
