Hi, Eiger, and welcome to the Community,
DJmacman is correct, and I marked his observation as a solution to help everyone following in our footsteps: connection error messages are typical indicators that the software needs to be updated.  Please also see this FAQ article:

  • Skype doesn't work with OS X Yosemite - does not a...

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite - terrible OS I highly discourage anyone use it.  It's caused all kinds of compatability issues with various software. 
    Logging onto skype works for about a minute then I get forced into offline mode and cannot change my status or call anyone.  I've tried rebooting the internet, rebooting skype and reinstalling but nothing has worked.  It appears to be some sort of bug issue.  My internet connection also gets killed sometime while using skype.
    Please fix.  The new OS has been out for a while now.  No excuse to be several months late fixing a bug.

  • New Skype doesn't work with my setup

    Nice.  I just paid for a Skype number only to find I am locked out of 6.3 version.
    LISTEN JERKS! I CAN'T USE VERSION 7 WITH PRETTY MAY CALL CENTER SO SKYPE IS USELESS NOW.
    Enjoy never getting my business again!

  • Skype doesn't work with Yosemite

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite.
    When trying to login to Skype I get the message - "Skype can't connect". I have the latest version of Skype.
    Fortunately I have my original OSX - Snow Leopard - on another partition of the hard disk, where Skype works perfectly.
    Anyone any ideas??

    I think Skype didn't upgrade the application for OS X Yosemite support. I expect this in a few weeks.
    Sorry but I think no one can help you.
    Best of luck to you!

  • ARD Login script doesn't work with similar usernames

    We have a lab of Macs all of which have two accounts whose usernames start with the same characters (rms and rmsadmin). There are times when we would like to be able to log on to all the computers simultaneously as the rmsadmin user with ARD. Because both of the usernames start with the same three characters, when the following commands are sent via ARD, the login process defaults to selecting the student account (rms) and won't log in as rmsadmin:
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "rmsadmin"'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'
    Anyone have a solution to this?
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and giving it some thought.

    Since we do have the same problem but also some additional infos I bump this thread in the hopes of getting some answers.
    The login script does run, but unfortunatly only when I start it manually. It does not run during login.
    The only purpose of the script is to map some drives and it works fine under XP. Where else can I find infos about the problem?
    Our script looks like that:
    On Error resume next  
    Set objADSystemInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")  
    Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & objADSystemInfo.UserName)

    strSam = objUser.Get("sAMAccountName")  
    strCn = objUser.Get("cn")
    Set colGroups = objUser.Groups  
    Pos = Instr(strDn,"OU=")  
    if Pos = 0 then  
        strOu = "" 
    else  
        strOu = Mid(strDn,Pos+3,2)  
    end if

    The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem.  What is apple doing to fix this?

    Going to the local Apple store this morning...
    My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
    I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
    IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
    The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

    Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared.  That doesn't work anymore.  How do you turn off the apps with ios7

    Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past.  With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

  • Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

    Oh hai!
    I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
    Encoding failed
    Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
    And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
    I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
    I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
    Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

    Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
    solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
    you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
    that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
    1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
    2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
    I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual  "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..  
       I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
    History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
    1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) . 
    I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
    Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
    2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
    and showed in error export log file :
    "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
    3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
    i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
    I did these steps :
    a-uninstall master coll suite
    b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
    c-removed raw directories in locations
    •C:\Program Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    •C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    d-removed these links from registry file
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
    •HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    •HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
    e-restarted the PC
    f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
    g-update the software
    result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
    4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created  ANOTHER NEW admin account.
    4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
    4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
    4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
    result :
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
    ==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
    (in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
    problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
    this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
    what i expect :
    to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
    what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
    to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    iPhone 5 doesn't work with Mac OS 10.5.8 - do I need to ugrade to 10.6 and then upgrade to Mountain Lion or can I just upgrade to Mtn Lion right away?

    At least to 10.6.8. You must do this to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?

  • TS1398 My iphone 4 doesn't work with public wifi

    My iPhone 4 doesn't work with any of the apps apart from weather app when I use public wifi, such as iCloud. The sign still shows that I am connected with wifi hotspot even when the signal is the strongest.
      I have tried resting my iPhone 4. But doesn't work. But other wifi such as in my home or at uni which require login work well with the device.  I am not sure what seems to be the problem.

    Apple doesnt like generic network names link Linksys, or Belkin - when the network is a generic name there is no way to identify your "linksys" vs my "linksys" so it has trouble connecting and remembering these networks.
    You need to connect to a unique network name as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4199
