Issues with New Skype for Windows 6.22.81.104

Following are the issues faced with the new version of skype
Contacts are online, but status is showing as offline
Not able to send messages, still in progressing status
Not able to change the skype status
"Go to Support, Go to Community" no action is happening
Skype call is not disconnecting
I experienced all these issues in 10 mins. I want to goback to previous version which is perfect.
Regards
Kamal Deep

I just uninstalled this latest version. I'm a week old with Skype, I use it for my 8 year old nephew in Jersey.
Point is, it won't even let me minimise the new screen, I can't delete the person who I invited to be a contact who hasn't responded, (especially important because I thought it was my sister!) The few thing I previously learned are gone, I feel like I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THIS NEW FORMAT!
How come I can only minimze, or FULL SCREEN? nothing inbetween? What if I want to multitask? My taskbar is GONE when I'm signed in.
I'm going to turn updates off, and put the last version on...
thanks for ruining something I thought I might enjoy! And Jesus, I WILL NEVER COMBINE FACEBOOK WITH THIS, SO STOP ASKING!!!!!! I HATE FACEBOOK, it's a small necessity I use "maybe" twice a month!

Serious resolution issues with After Effects CC (2014) on Windows 8.1 Pro on Dell Precision M3800 laptop??

My new company installed Adobe Creative Cloud (There was some annoying Proxy issues at first, because of the seriously tight I.T policies) but we are having some serious resolution issues with After Effects CC 2014 (also have this resolution problem with Adobe Premiere, Media Encoder, Muse) on Windows 8.1 Pro on a Dell Precision M3800 laptop with icons and interface looking too small and hard to see, is there a fix, an update or a work around, can anyone help?
Any help will be appreciated!
k.regards
Ramon

Hi Todd is there a time-frame for this fix, there is a lot of pressure on me, because I convinced my company to get the Creative Cloud and quite a lot of the CC software is not compatible with the latest Windows 8.1 OS.
Is there at least a work around, until this big fix comes along?
k.regards

SERIOUS lag issues with Intel iMac

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty frustrated right now. I've been having this serious lag issue with my new iMac for the past few days. I think it may have started after I ran the last security update.
What happens:
When switching between apps, the system will hang for 1-3 seconds between doing anything. This includes typing, mouse requests, etc. It's VERY frustrating. I have activity monitor open currently, and I am seeing both Safari and SystemUIServer hogging up the CPU resources like CRAZY. I've even seen Safari recently give a CPU usage of 120%, right before I loaded this webpage. tis isn't just centralized to Safari too.... I have the following apps running:
Adium 0.89.1
FoireFox 1.5.0.8
Safari
Activity Monitor
My Memory stats currently are:
175MB Wired
708MB Active
618MB Inactive
1.47GB Used
There should be no reason I'm getting these lags with just two web browsers and a chat client open.
Has anyone else expierenced the lags?? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to reinstall OS X and not run the last security update. Thanks

Hello Matthew
Are you running any maintenance scripts on a regular basis?
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
I would manually run this script from The X Lab, and my load times would improve greatly. The problem was, I would forget to run them untill I noticed web pages loading slow or iTunes and iPhoto taking for ever. It wasn't untill someone here in discussions suggested Anacron that I saw the light. WOW what a difference Anacron has been making in my overall system speed. My iMac has not been shutdown for 11days 5hrs 34mins (sleep or use only) and opening new App's, switching App's and web pages load as fast or faster than after a fresh start up. If your system is operating properly and you are having only what seems to be a slow or sluggish issue Anacron will make a difference.

Serious Power Issues with T61

All,
The organization I work for has started to have some serious power issues with our T61 model Thinkpads. Additionally, the problem now seem to be carrying over into our T500 Thinkpads.
About 4 months ago we started receiving consistant calls regarding users that can't power their laptops on. These are T61 and T500 laptops mounted to mobile carts in our various nursing units in numerous hospitals. These laptops sit stationary for 95% of the time and are almost always plugged into wall power. We quickly discovered that the only way to get the laptops to power on was to unplug them from all power sources and reseat the battery, after which they powered right on. We've had this problem in the past with users T61s that aren't on carts, but this is slightly different as the batteries on the cart mounted laptops are always 100% drained after we reseat them.
I'm completely baffled by this issue. I've tried every variation of 3 different carts, -- one with external battery on cart, two without -- both 90 and 65 watt power supplies, and standard and 9 cell batteries that I can come up with and the problem continues to occur. Initially we had atributed the problem to ESD because this started during the low humidity months of winter, but it is now spring and the problem is still happening.
Under normal circumstances I'd just replace the few ailing laptops and call them in under warranty, but this seems to be a general model issue as this is occuring across the board on 100+ laptops at this hospital alone. Any assistance to help identify the issue and/or how to resolve it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Slider5634,
Do you have a critical situation open for this? If so, while you are free to post here, working through the project office as a managed account should get you to the right level of support to address an issue that sounds pervasive, and may or may not be influenced by unknown environmental factors.
If you don't have a situation open, then I would urdge you to contact your account rep. If you need help, or unsure of this, please send me a PM with your contact information, and your hospital or corp account name so I can get you the right level of assistance.
jgm1234,
What model type T61's are you experiencing this issue with? Can you provide some more information here about the situation? Configuration, when this first started occuring, environment (connected to lan, wired / wireless, stand alone, all in same physical location, or distributed at multiple locations, etc)
Thanks!

Serious locking issues with Main Stage 3

Having serious locking issues with main stage 3. I just did a music gig over the weekend with main stage 3, and the application locked up 8 times during my performance. There were also several times where there was a delay between the time I struck a key on the midi controller and the time sound actually came out of the audio interface. Has anyone else ran into this problem??

I am running mountain lion 10.8.5, on a 2009 Macbook 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. w 8 GB Ram.
Anyone know how to fix this, if even possible?

Just read some reviews. There seems to be a lot of problems with the latest main stage update. I didn't notice these latency problems until did the latest update..
Apple please fix this quickly!!!

Skype issues with new Retina MBP

Help - I have a new Retina MBP with the latest version of Skype. I am having serious issues with Skype -anyone I call on landlines keep telling me my voice is "breaking up" - I can hear them perfectly. A skype test call works OK, calling my own land line seems to be OK, but all calls from Australia to US land lines experinece this issue. (I thought is was my router so had Telstra replace it - talk about good customer service - it was replaced no questions asked). Same version of Skype on my 5+ year old MBP still works OK (of course it is not running the latest version of Moutain Lion as it does not support this version).
The Skype community forum reports various issues with MBPs but not this particular one. I would go to the Apple Genius Bar but they don't really provide support for thirdy party apps. Note I am using the built-in speaker and microphone.
All suggestions most welocme - I really need to get this sorted before my next trip.
thanks.

Serious Issues with New Itunes Release

I'm having serious issues with my Itunes. If I right click on any of the songs and go to reveal in Windows Explorer (so i can find the darn things) it removes pretty much every option from the right click menu, refuses to play music and if i shut down ITunes and try to restart it it refuses to open again. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling the software and i get the same issue. any ideas? its driving me insane and i wish i had never upgraded to the new version because the last version was working just fine.

Also I see that Itunes remains in my task manager in the processes section even after I close it down. any ideas would be woooonderful because i can't live without my music...

Serious boot issues with Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet II, OS 9.2.2)

Hello,
I have major issues with a Powerbook Wallstreet II I got recently. When it's finally running, it works just as well as Wallstreet Powerbooks usually do, no errors, no crashing, smooth performance, everything fine.
But booting it up is, to put it mildy, a bloody pain. First off, it does not power up, when it's only connected to batteries. I have two of them, both working fine for several hours when put in after bootup, but no matter if I place one or both of them in any bays, nothing happens when pressing or holding the power button (apart from screen flickering and speaker crackling). I'm always forced to connect the power adapter, which immediatly (without pressing the power button) causes the power LED to light and the cooling fan insanely spins up for a mere couple of split seconds until everything wents silent again.
Having reached this point, I can disconnect the power supply (if at least one battery is in) and usually hear a nice "BONG" when pressing the power button once again. Thereafter, nothing happens for a oppressive 30 seconds, then, the screen finally lits and shows the Mac OS 9.2.x splash screen on monochrome background. Sadly, this is already the end of most of my first boot up tries, because at this point, I usually get told by a dialogbox that a bus error has just happened. The box also has a nice "Reboot" button, which I cannot click as the trackpad hangs as well.
Pressing ShiftFn+CrtlPower works here in about one out of three time, so in most cases, I have to go through the same procedure. Pull out power sources, give a shot via PSU, have it iddling for 30 secs. In most cases, this second try lets me pass splash screen, loader, yes, it even lets me see the desktop, the taskbar, the HDD icon and... pouf. Success is so close but no, it has to suddenly drop into sleep mode and
a short press on power proves the apprehension true, that it won't be easy to wake it up again. Hrmph. But I don't give that easily. So pulling everthing out for the second time, connect PSU for the third time and look there, it fully boots.
Three tries to successfully boot is about average at first try series. Afterwards, it seems to be "warmed up" and things get easier. I made a log recently with 5 test series, made at very frequent intervals:
Series 1:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot fails) (bays empty)
2. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
3. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
4. Bootup: Sleep Mode (both batteries)
5. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot successful)(both batteries)
6. Bootup: Success (left battery, right bay empty)
Series 2:
1. Bootup: Success(left battery, right bay empty)
Series 3:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (!!!) (left battery, right bay empty)
2. Bootup: Success (bays empty)
Series 4:
1. Bootup Success (left bay empty, right battery)
Series 5:
1. Bootup Success (both batteries)
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

jpl,
Thank you for continuative support.
If you plan on buying a 256MB memory module, the Wallstreet requires
a 256 specifically made for it (and the early iMac
and Lombard). Modules 128MB and smaller can be
generic if they meet the Wallstreet's specs.
Thanks for this information.
You might find it useful to disassemble the 'book to the PMU, carefully remove/reseat the PMU card, then test.
Well, to be honest, I don't have the time to perform this very labour-intensive work. However, I pulled out the large PMU connector (the one that can be reached by lifting the keyboard) and reseated it, without any results. Shouldn't that suffice? Or is there another connection that could need maintenance?
Regarding sleep: There is no display position sensor, only a simple magnet in the right display bezel approximately 4" from the bottom...you can stick a paperclip to it. When the display closes, it triggers a sleep switch located next to the delete key in the side rail.
Ah, okay.
According to Apple, if the powerbook will not run on battery, it could be the charge card or PMU board or power supply card or logic board. However, your 'book apparently runs on battery once started via power adapter.
Actually, it does not allow me to power up, if I attach the adapter right after an unsuccessful try to operate from battery. Even if I remove the batteries (after adapter connection).
It's like it is "crashed" before it's even running. Which means, I have to pull all power sources to be able to perform the resuscitating power up via adaptor.
A normal power manager reset on the Wallstreet is this:
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Simultaneously press Shift-Fn (function)-Ctrl >(control)-Power.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook >computer.
A successful reset will briefly flash the sleep light plus >spin up the fan for a second. If a reset does not solve the >startup and sleep issues, then you will have to look >elsewhere.
I can see the sleep LED and I do hear the fan, however, this didn't help in most cases. After perfoming this action (in a freeze situation), I usually only got rattling noises out of the speakers or screen flashes when trying to power up.
Be sure the powerbook only freezes when closing the display to sleep it.
Well, I noticed it sometimes also freezes when left idle directly after start up (and power save is activated). Later, it comes right back again.
- Is the sleep light blinking before you open the display?
Yes.
- When the display is opened, does the sleep light continue to blink? (It should.)
Yes.
- When you press the power button, do you hear a 'buzz' or some similar noise? If you do, you may have another issue to explore.
No. I usually only hear speaker noise when trying to power up from battery. But oddly enough, the lenght of the sleep light blinks changes when power button is hold down in "frozen sleep".
I would also go to the System Folder > Preferences folder and drag the Energy Saver Preferences to the Trash, close all windows, then restart...a new preference file will be created on restart. You can reset the Energy Saver to your like, then test sleep.
Done.
-Does sleep/wake always work when NOT closing the display? Try this after resetting the power manager and trashing the pref file mentioned below.
If I initiate sleep, yes. If it suspends automatically, well, usually. But not always (see above).

Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
What do you think?
Thanks.

There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

On-Going Issues with New Serviices - New Verizon Customer

Good evening. This is the 1st time that I've had to voive my frustrations and disappointment on a forum but I don't know what else to do. I have only had Verizon Fios for 6 weeks and I have yet to watch anything on TV since no imformation is being filtered to my TV; I keep receiving Set-Top box is off-line. My Internet and phone services were spotty in the beginning but they are working great now. I've had 3 different technicians visit my residence to re-install the boxes, router, cables, and I had all-new equipment again. However, I'm still having issues in with the Program Guide and all Menu options are still unavailable.
However, nothing has worked and I've exhausted all possible resolutiions to no avail. The last technician was at my residence for 7 hours last week and had to call Verizon's tech support, It was determined that it was something on Verizon's end that they needed to fix. It's been over a week, and I have yet to hear anything on my current open Help Ticket. Has anyone had any serious issues with their services when they first signed for FIOS? I'm at the point that I am seriously considering cancelling my services even though I already made 2 payments against my account. Most of my friends, new neighbors and family members have FIOS and rave how great it is, and constantly talk about all the movies on On Demand. Unfortunately, I can't relate because I can't access anything on my TV. It's a pain in the **bleep** when you are trying to watch something but you have no idea what the hell you are watching because the Program Guide is unavailable, including the rest of the Menu options. I really would hate to cancel all of my services but I'm at a loss at what to do anymore. Has anyone experiences severe issues in which they had to cancel their services because Verizon was unable to solve the issues? Thank you for your attention and time in this matter.

Since we haven't heard back from you as requested in your private support case, it appears you do not need further assistance. It was our pleasure to help get this squared away. Please make a new post anytime you need our assistance.

"Error: com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocMetaDataUnavailableException: (3) IDOC_ERROR_METADATA_UNAVAILABLE: The meta data for the IDoc type "ORDERS05" is unavailable."
I have made every configuration correct and IDOC meta data available in both SAP R3 and PI,but it is still complaning about the meta data does not exist.
Blog: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13743%3Fpage%3Dlast%26x-order%3Ddate
did anybody face issue with the new module available "SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor",please help me or give me mre information why I am getting this meta data error.
Thank you,
Sri

Hi Sri,
To Convert IDOC Flat file into IDOC xml from the given blog, the IDOC flat file should be present in standard format like:
E2EDK01005                    0000047110815000000000001.........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000002.........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000003..........
E2EDKA1003                    0000047110815000000000004........
The Flat file have relationship as IDOC Number "000004711081500000" and segment sequence "0000001".
If your flat file is not in this formate so i don't think that module is able to convert into IDOC xml. and if your file is already in this format then it may be issue with destinations which are created in NWA.
Thanks
