  • I am at starbucks and when I try to download my free music on itunes, my password is always rejected, even when i am forced to create a new one!!!  what am I doing wrong, who do I ask for help

    I am at starbucks and when I try to download my free music on itunes, my password is always rejected, even when i am forced to create a new one!!!  what am I doing wrong, who do I ask for help?

    Due to recent security issues and identify theft (mostly due to phishing scams), the iTunes Store seems to be requiring more frequent verification of credit card information when a card is registered in your account, even if you have a balance from a prepaid card. Either just go through the verification process or, if you have a credit card entered and you don't expect to need the card anytime soon, go into the Payment information in your account and set the payment method to "none" which should then stop the regular requirements for verification  (it may still ask - mine does - but you should just be able to click through the buttons without problems).
    Hope this helps.

  • I recently noticed that the light on the magnetic connection is always on even when it's not connected to the computer. I keep it plugged into the wall but I don't think the light was always on like that before. Is there something wrong?

    I recently noticed that the light on the magnetic connection to my charger for my laptop is always on even when it isn't connected to the computer. I keep it plugged in. I don't remember it being like that in the past so I'm wondering if something is wrong.

    Last sentence in the paper suggested by DALE:
    Additional Information
    Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of the evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.

  • Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.

    My Airport Express 2nd WAN Port light always on, even when nothing is connected.
    Is this normal? The Airport utility also said that I didn't connect anything to the port - when there is a lan cable connected from the main Airport Extreme.
    The computer can connect to the WiFi from the Airport Express properly, but with blinking yellow and no internet connection, also it cannot obtain the ip address.
    After setting the Airport Express to the Bridge mode, the computer cannot access to the Airport Express anymore, with "Connection Time Out" error.
    The Airport Express was 3 days old, and was working properly until today. There is also one blackout today because of the storm.
    Had reset the Airport several times, didn't solve the problem.

    Hi again. That is a good idea. Check if router can grab an ip from your modem since wireless local connection through the router is working. If it can grab an ip and works fine on wireless, then you might have a problem with the ethernet ports. You might want to try assigning an ip address on the wired connection and see if ip of router is pingable. If really not working at all, possibility that router is not working properly anymore.

    There is a work around so that you will be shown offline when you log out from all devices.
    1.  Sign in to your account in the Skype application in a computer or a laptop.
    2. Select any contact then type this to the message box: /showplaces then hit on send.
    The /showplaces command will show the instances where you are currently logged in at that time.
    3. Now type this command: /remotelogout then hit on send.
    It will automatically log you out from your mobile devices, tablet, other laptop except on the one that you are using right now.
    Lastly, all you need is to sign out from the Skype application on the computer that you are using and ask a friend if you show as Offline.
    This one really works. Believe me

  • Solution for SKYPE ALWAYS ONLINE

    It's a bug like everything that is part of Microsoft.
    The solution is: Unlink your Skype account and your Microsoft account
    My problem came when I logged from Skype for Windows 8. I was asked do I want to link my accounts without knowing the consequences. After I saw that terrible thing called Skype for Windows 8 I searched the Net for desktop version. But what I found is that I appear always online. After chat with the Skype support I got nothing. So I found in Skype Community that unlinking the Skype and Microsoft accounts worked. I tried it and it worked for me too. Unless Microsoft fix that problem unlinking is the only way.
    How do I unlink my Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts?

    This is the right answer. The problem started happening yesterday when I linked the two accounts and now it is resolved after unlinking them again. Shame on you Microsoft!
    For you guys who are not managing to get a result from this solution it probably is because you did not go to your config page (see above in the quoted message) to find out if your accounts were linked or not! 

    @architgrover, the way that it should work is when you run /remotelogout on your PC (or Mac, AFAIK), all other clients will be logged out of MS's cloud, which is what shows people as fake-online.
    Are you sure that doing that and then running /showplaces still shows the Android client as live?  It really shouldn't. Likewise, using the formal Logoff menu (lower left in the Skype Android client) should have the same effect. Simply turning off your phone or going into Airplane Mode does not, which is a major design flaw but something we'll have to continue to live with.

  • Skype always online at phone

    My skype on desktop is always invisible. Whenever I check skype on my phone its online/visible.
    when I do it invisible and close skype and come back It shows me visible..
    I dont want to appear online but I want to see all messages sent to me on my phone.
    I also noticed if I open skype on my pc and phone at the sametime my skype on desktop appears online aswell. I have to turn it invisible again.

    Try the /showplaces and /remotelogout chat commands.

  • Ovi Maps 3.03 keeps going online even when told no...

    So I've just downloaded the new free Ovi Maps for my 5800 and it's pretty nice, except for one thing: even when I set the conection to offline it still connects to the Internet every time the app is started (which, even though the app is fullscreen is visible when, for example you go into the settings screen). It seems though that after a minute or so it disconnects, but still, the old Maps app asked on startup whether to connect, this one just does without asking every time it's started... Am I missing some hidden setting?

    Really need indication of which device you are using to give you relevant information here.
    As it can take a while to establish position using "Integrated GPS" positional method, "Network GPS" can give approximate position based on cell tower triangulation and "Assisted GPS" can carry out numerical calculations much faster on remote server than using device resources.
    In some countries just downloading regional maps such as UK is sufficient for "Search" in OVI Maps application in "Offline" mode to locate to postcode level, whereas in larger countries OVI Maps needs to be "Online" to produce this result.
    As you have posted on the end off a thread headed "OVI Maps v3.03" unless you are using E71 I would be surprised if later version is not availble for your device from here:

  • PG 522 Field Point I/O Activity Lights always on even when no output is requeste

    I am making Time Duration outputs to a PG-522 Module. SOmetimes, even when I have no output the activity light stays on all the time. The only way to clear it is to reset the Field Point Communications. What could Cause this to happen?

    Hi Pat,
    The activity light does not tell you if your channel is in the ON or OFF state.  It tells you if the channel is generating pulses.  According to the manual, if you  are using the 1s resolution the max ON/OFF time is 65,535s.  This could cause the activity light to stay on while it looks like you have no output.

  • My online number is always "busy" even when its no...

    I have troubleshooted and posted on here and changed privacy settings and upgraded to the latest Skype version and have been in a continuous online feedback loop w/ Skype desperately looking for answers.  MAD! 
    My 3 month online number does NOT work, and now Skype is sending me emails saying that I can extend it.  No way. I want my money back, and I want the number to work.  Do I really need to buy MORE credit in order to get an answer? will absolutely abandon skype.

  • Why does my FaceTime and skype always hang up when someone try's to answer?

    EVer since yesterday my FaceTime Skype and ooovoo have been acting weird everytime I call someone on there it always hangs up right when they answer.

    Go to the Contacts app and add yourself as a contact. Make sure you add the email address that you associated with Messages. It is by default the Apple ID email address

  • Applications always transfer even when unchecked in itunes!

    I have 2.2.1 firmware and i've just re-installed itunes hoping this would solve my issue, unfortunately it has not. Even though application sync is turned OFF in itunes applications installed from the iphone not itunes always try and transfer to itunes on sync, even though these applications don't ever show up at all in itunes. I've tried un-authorizing my computer then reauthorizing it after a friend suggested this. Syncing takes forever and is really beginning to bug the **** out of me.

    This is normal - any applications downloaded and installed by your iPhone are transferred (or should be transferred) to your iTunes library on your computer when syncing the first time afterwards. If you ever need to restore your iPhone with iTunes, you will need to re-download all apps again - either with your iPhone or with iTunes unless all apps are available in your iTunes library on your computer.
    The same applies to any music purchased from the iTunes store on your iPhone - these songs will be transferred to your iTunes library when syncing the first time afterwards.

  • Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

    Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
    I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
    I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
    I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
    If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
    I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
    It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
    It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
    Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
    I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
    Please, any help with be appreciated!

    Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?
