Skype Account Hacked - Will this affect my Microso...

Last Wednesday, I received an e-mail receiving confirmation of my password change, and confirmation of my new e-mail address. Of course, I had changed neither and contacted Skype to let them know that someone had hacked my Skype account.
Several exchanges with them later and things are still being sorted out (after six days). I have reached the stage where I have the link to reset my password, but unfortunately that takes me through to the Microsoft website and it is not the Microsoft password I need to change, but one associated with my Skype Login. Anyway, I digress.
I was wondering, if someone has got into my Skype account, using my Skype password, is there any chance he may be rooting around in my Microsoft Account (Outlook, OneDrive, etc). Or would he have needed to also get around my Microsoft password to do that. I suspect the latter, as that is where I am being sent.
Would anyone like to put my mind at rest?

You can try to retrieve the sync key from that mobile device.

I have my @gmail account for iTunes purchases, and my @me account for contacts/calendar, how do I approach iCloud and how will this affect me?

I know accounts cannot be merged. The @gmail account has existed for years before the @me account.
I haven't been able to set up my phone yet because I have absolutely no idea how this will affect me, when it was quite clear before.
How will this affect me in the future? What about when my @me service expires (I had just under a free year left)? What email should I link? What should I be worried about if kept separate or the same as they are now?
I still don't even understand what exactly iCloud does yet. If I set up my phone with whatever my iCloud account is, is it locked in? Since no credit card info or applications or purchases are associated with it, it will be of no use in that area.
I am absolutely confused on what I should do, and after spending 4 hours attempting to update my phone, am still stuck on having a useable device.

This point I don't quite understand. It is clear that:
   1) your additional 20gb are available only up to next summer
    2) the migrated account will be downgraded to a free account then.
    3) the purchased music and apps do NOT count in the 5 gb.
So, I don't know what you need the 20 gb in the "unused AppStore account" for. Your documents and emails are all on the 25 gb account.
I think, you can log into your non-me.com AppleID and change your e-mail address there without loosing what you purchased. So, I wonder what would happen if I put the me.com address there...
Not sure, I would try...
Regarding the me.com AppleID, you should make sure you have a secondary email account added there, otherwise it might be difficult to recover that account in case you cannot read the me.com email anymore. Interestingly, when I tried to put my non-me.com address there, it complained about that email already used by a different account. So, I guess if you try to put your gmail account there it will complain. So, you probably need a third independant email account....

HT201274 I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail acco

I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account

her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

I just got a new iPhone and i set up iCloud on my girlfriend's account. To change it on settings it says delete account. Will this delete her all her data and back up data for iCloud on her iPhone and iPad?

Delete the account on your phone. This will not delete any data on her phone or iPad, or data stored in iCloud.

No. Only those Apps that are not installed on the new will migrate over.

My macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty.

I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

I have the Iphone 4s. If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have. (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose)

I have the Iphone 4s. If I try to download the iOS 7, will this affect any of the apps I already have. (I have an app with a lot of my baby's information that I don't want to lose). Or is iOS 8 better to download?

My biggest suggestion would be to check and make sure that the app works with iOS 8. If their app is not compatible, then there is a possibility that the app will crash every time you open it or some other way that makes the app unusable and then you would be unable to access that data. As long as the app is compatible with iOS 8 then updating your OS shouldn't cause you to lose any of the information within the app. As others are suggested, make sure you have a backup but just note that once you update to iOS 8 you cannot revert back to an older version. Find out if your app has any way to export the information to another format that you can save and access via a computer before updating.
And what app have you seen that works in iOS 7 that doesn't work in iOS 8?

Explain further: "lost the ability to turn on control points to readjust levels on the wand"
Are you referring to the Adjustment Brush tool? Or something else?
Are you stating that you cannot see the pin (is that what you mean by "control points"?) at all (if so, then press letter H) or are you stating that pressing H doesn't work? Or something else?

While downloading the free trial for Final Cut Pro X my internet has dropped out many times. It does however seem to continue ok each time it reconnects. Will this affect the software when it finishes? Is this a problem? Any advice please?

This has happened to me with a few downloads without any upsets.
You should be OK.
As I recall the download is around 1.2 gig so it takes a bit of time and effort to get it to your system.

HT201386 So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for app? How will this affect iPhoto from Mavericks to Yosemite?

So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for iOS app? How will this affect iPhoto from Mavericks to Yosemite? anyone with Yosemite Beta in the loop?
Thanks from Zurich,
Dan

So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for iOS app?
That has happened before - remember iWeb?
But this time Apple has provided a migration to the successor app, Photos.
For iPhoto and Aperture on the Mac is not much known (Aperture is Dead. Long Live Photos! | ApertureExpert), only, that there will be a "Photos" for MacOS X.
anyone with Yosemite Beta in the loop?
Beta testers are bound by a non-disclosure agreement, and beta-issues must to be discussed in the public forums, or we will be in trouble. Neither are we allowed to speculate, sorry.

Do noy buy yourself a world of trouble. This forum will refuse to answer "Why is my JB phone not connecting to internet?????" And his "help" post was removed. The facts about Apple's official position are clear, for those who want Apple's continued support. John does not like it, but not liking it never made something untrue.

If I uninstall Master Collection CS6 Trial will this affect my Prod Premium CS6 Suite

I recently purchased the Production Premium CS6 Suite. Prior to this I did a Master Collection CS6 Trial install. Now every time I click on a PDF, the MS Trial Ended window opens. My question is: if I uninstall the Master Collection cs6 trial, will this affect my Production Premium cs6 Suite???

dddavies, The reason for you getting that Trial window is that your Acrobat might be still associated with the Master Collection CS6 Trial. So, uninstalling Master Collection will be the right step. Either way, you can uninstall Master Collection CS6 trial at anytime. Doing that will not affect your Production Premium CS6 suite.
So, go for it.
Hope that answers your questions.

It won't have any effect on your iPod, but without Outlook you will not be able to use iCloud calendars or contacts. email can be used in Windows Live Mail.
