Skype - automatic upgrades screw up

Does skype pushes automatic upgrades on devices like "Freetalk"?
If they do it might be the reason my device stopped working.
Is there a way to stop them from screwing up (pushing upgrades)?

Wow. Thanks for the quick reply

I made a call to the US and WAS charged!!!!
The "Live Chat" support option's a joke, nothing happens, no chat window appears, it would make a lot of sense if they simply used chat on skype to contact you, would it not.
Seems ironic that a company specializing in communications has such a hard time communicating with their paying customers!!!

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode while doing an automatic upgrade last night. I can't do anything with the phone and now it won't even restore! Help!

Last night my iphone did an automatic upgrade and when I got up this morning all that was there was the picture of the usb cord and itunes. When I plugged my phone into my computer and open itunes I got this message: iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
I spent literally all day trying to figure out what to do and finally sucked it up and pushed the restore button in itunes. I'm not getting this message: The iPhone could not be restored. The device isn't eligible for the requested build.
What the heck do I need to do in order to have a functioning phone again?!

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

I want to do a factory restore on my iphone 4s but I do not want to the iOS6. If I back up, can then restore backup and keep iOS5 since a factory restore will automatically upgrade me?

I've recently installed IOS 7.0.3. on my Ipad4. With the latest automatic upgrade of First Class yesterday the textfields for loggning in disappears upworth. How can I correct this.

HALF-SOLUTION!!!! (Restoring only, basically.)
Restore the phone via iCloud.com
1. Go to iCloud.com , and log in.
2. If you want a back up, make sure you back it up to itunes now!
3. Now back to iCloud.com - select the device you want. Press "Erase iPhone" (or iPad, iPod whatever).
You will go through a few steps. Skip the phone number and leave a message, as it isn't lost. Your phone will be restored. No need for plugging in!
4. IMPORTANT: Just set it up as usual. Language, country blah. But then you'll get to a step where it says something like "This iPhone was erased with iCloud. Log in with the Apple ID you used to erase it". In this case, my Dad's. So please do that. Later on, the phone will ask for an Apple ID to be used for the phone. I put my own one as I didn't want my dads!!!! Lol....
5. Plug into iTunes and back-up.
As for updating, I'm still on 7.0.2,,, it ain't working on my phone or itunes!! :(

Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

Automatically upgrade a package installed after the bundle is assigned

Hi All,
I am trying out ZLM 7.3 and thanks also the helpful posts here I feel
quite confident with the tool.
Mirrored the channel, assigned the bundle and the catalog for the oss
packages and done, the installed package are upgraded with the patches
available with the bundle.
What I did not understand is the way to automatically upgrade a oss
package which is installed by YaST after the bundle is assigned. My
guess is, assign the catalog with patches to the device and whenever I
try to install a new package I automatically install the newest one. Is
this correct? Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks,
Jan

You are right, after refreshing the client with rug the new package is
installed.

Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application not auto installing - Status always waiting for next maintenance schedule

Hello,
I'm trying to deploy an application to a user group with the option checked for "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" but it never auto installs.
- The application is set to install to system whether the user is logged on or off.
- We do have user affinity, therefore the user does have a one or more primary devices setup.
- If I run the install manually, it will superseded and install the new application and uninstall the old applications.
- The estimated installtion time minutes is set to 0
- The maxmimum allowed run time is set to 120 minutes.
We're on version SCCM 2012 SP1.
My assumption of how it should work
If the user is logged in or NOT and it's during the maintenance window, it should auto install the application. Maybe I'm wrong.
Here's the scenario.
User JohnDoe has application Viewer 1.0 installed on his machine. He installed this app via the SCCM application catalog. We now need to deploy Viewer 2.0 of this application. I want to ensure when it's deployed it replaces Viewer 1.0 hence
the reason to check the "auto upgrade.."check box.
Here's what happens. In software center, it will pre-downlaod the software and then set the status to "Waiting for next maintenance schedule". The problem is that the status stays like this forever. We do have maintenance windows set
on the device collection that JohnDoe's primary device is part of. Here are our maintenance windows.
- Daily - 9PM to 5AM = 8 hours
- Weekly - Saturday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
- Weekly - Sunday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
Coordinated UTC is not checked.
The business hours in software center are set to 5am to 10pm.
One would assume that it would auto install during the night since we have a big maintenance windows. I checked the ServiceWindowmanager.log and it does seem to show the various maitnenance windows.
Here's what I've tried
- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
- If JohnDoe clicks install in Software center or application catalog, it works. There's nothing wrong with the packages. The issue seems to be related with the maintenance windows.
- If I disable the maintenance windows, then it seems to work but only when I'm logged in. It still does not work if I'm logged out. It only kicks off the installation when I login if it's not during the business hour set in software center.
We need the maintenance windows since we don't want windows patching to occur during the day.
- I searched and ran the report to ensure there's not another maintenance windows setup that would prevent this from installing.
Our current workaround
To ensure users are using the latest version, we deploy the application required for a couple of days, then delete that deployment once we reach a high 90%. The problem with that is if some computers are turned off, they would be using the older version
and it will never get upgraded unless the user installs it manually.
Has anyone encountered this? Any other log files I should look at? Anything else I should verify ? I know in SCCM 2012 R2, you can set the maintenance window to only apply this schedule to software update (patching) but that option doesn't seem
to be available in SCCM 2012 SP1.
Any help, suggestiong, I will take. Thanks.

- If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows. However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.
Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
maintenance windows.

Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

Hi everybody!
Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely
Neff

Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.

My iPhoto library is on an external drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOS I can't open the library

My iPhoto Library is on an external hard drive since the automatic upgrade to PHOTOs i cannot open my library.
It says i do not have permission to write in this library, how do i get it open and retrieve my photos to upload to iCloud/

But forgot to ask then how to transfer/copy my older photos which are on an older external hard drive.
Are these photos in an iPhoto library there or just loose (or in folders) on the older EHD?

Skype Automatically Removing Recently Added Conact...

Operating System: Windows 10 & Windows 7
Skype Version: 7.0.0.102 & 6.?
(Maybe helpful?) Note: I have Over 5,500 Contacts, but this issue just started recently.
Anytime I get a new contact request and add a user, soon after chatting with them, Skype automatically removes them from my list and a (?) icon is left neer their name.
Case 1:
New pending contacts which which to add add me are removed seconds after I add them.
I click the "Accept" button, and within seconds they are automatically removed from my contact list.
Case 2:
Existing contacts are sometimes removed, and I'm left with an "Add to Contacts" button for contacts which I haven't even removed.
After clicking "Add to Contacts" for this case, the request is sent, but soon after they accept or we chat a bit, they are removed again.
I have this same issue on two machines, Windows 7 and Windows 10, latest Skype and also some older version, around 6.2 or so. Let me know any other information you need to assist or questions.
I use skype for business and am slowly making the switch to livechat after being unable to resolve this issue.

Hi,
There is a limitation of the Skype contact list around 8000 contacts and it seems you've reached this limit. As a result whenever you add a new contact you'll either have the contact staying in pending and not getting added even after it was accepted or you'll lose contact authentication with another one. I would suggest you do a clean up of your contacts list or create a second new Skype account. Take a look here at how you can stay signed in on multiple Skype accounts on Skype for Windows desktop: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA829/how-can-i-run-multiple-skype-accounts-on-windows-desktop

Berkeley Java Edition Automatic Upgrade

Hi
I'm creating a Java Swing Application that must be downloaded using Java Web Start from almost 500 locations. I want to use a small database for this application. I was thinking of using Berkeley Java Edtion. My doubt is what happens when I download a NEW version of Berkeley Java Edition over an existing database?. Will it upgrade the files automatically without ANY user intervention?
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hello Néstor,
Yes, in regards to JE's internal database formats, in general JE will automatically upgrade the databases from an older version to a newer one.
