Skype BSODs very often

Hello, Running the latest version of Skype on Windows 7 64-bit, all important Windows Updates installed. I have two problems regarding Skype giving me a BSOD. First, whenever someone calls me or I call someone, the computer freezes for a second and gives me a BSOD (I don't have the details right now). I think it happened to me like four times already. I said to myself I'd ignore that since I'm going to upgrade to W10 in a few days anyway. Then, when I tried to change my profile picture, a bizarre buzzing noise interupt all sounds that were incoming and following that, I got another BSOD, the noise lasting until the computer reset. I know I have various problems regarding my graphics card, but I'm not blaming it yet until I know whether the issue is Skype or not. I will post details if you need to. Any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.

Since you have Windows 7 the diagnostic doesn't contain a record of the BSOD. Since you have an R7 it's more than likely your video drivers that are crashing. You can always check your Event Viewer to see if it has any reference to atixxx. The solutions are either to find a driver version or configuration that doesn't crash with Skype or downgrade to a version of Skype that doesn't crash with your current driver. Some people have claimed to resolve their problems by flushing out Skype completely and re-installing it. Though I'm unsure of the exact correlation. To see if it's due to ATI's H264 encoder: Locate AMDh264Enc32.dll and rename or delete that file. To attempt to find compatible/working ATI drivers (I believe Catalyst 13 and above include that H.264 encoder): You should completely uninstall the current drivers following AMDs guidance:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx
Afterward a 3rd party cleaner like DDU should allow you to remove the remaining traces:

You can then try to install older drivers (Catalyst 13.12 and higher) until you find a set/configuration that doesn't create the issue.
http://www.guru3d.com/files-categories/videocards-ati-catalyst-vista-win-7.html To downgrade to a version that might not trigger the problem, try Skype 6.14.

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...

Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Iphone4 fails to connect to AppleTV very often

hi..my iphone4 fails to connect to my AppleTV very often. Sometimes it gets connected without i doing anything. Sometimes even if try connecting through the i remote, it looks for the Apple TV and then says turn on Home Sharing. My Home sharing is always on. Funny thing is sometimes when i open you tube etc, it already shows the Airplay icon. Other times (When i really need it), the Air Play icon is missing....Pls help.

A Gen4 TC should not run too hot.. yes, when backing up with the disk running for extended periods then they do run pretty hot.. but once the disk spins down they should cool off..
Is the disk spinning down?? Stick your hand on it and feel... stick your ear over the fan area.. right behind the power socket and listen if the fan is running.. on a gen4 it should.
Raise the TC on pencils or chop sticks or erasers or bottle tops.. make sure it doesn't sit on the bench.
If you are running the latest firmware.. go back. In fact on a 12month old TC you might be able to go back to 7.5.2 firmware. (hold the option key when you select firmware updates, to show all possible updates and downgrades.)
The latest firmware offers nothing but trouble.. for the vast majority of people.
Do you still have AppleCare on a computer.. that will cover your TC as well. Take it back to Apple if you are worried..
There is no difference whatsoever between the two model TC except the size of the drive.

Adobe Reader 11 stops working very often since installation of latest 11.0.8 patch (on many company workstations)

Hi,
i am a system administrator of a company with about 350 desktops.
We updated our client workstations (W7PROx64) from Adobe Reader 11.0.7 to Adobe Reader 11.0.8 and now some users complain that the adobe reader stops working very often (Quote: "Every 5th PDF i open, the adobe reader crashes").
Before we distribute the update from 11.0.7 to 11.0.8 there were no such complains...
Is this a "well known" problem ?
Greetings from germany
Thomas

There is no support for the free Adobe products, unless you have a corporate support agreement.
Regarding your problem: does it go away if you disable Protected Mode [Edit Preferences | Security (Enhanced)]? If it does, you can use this registry script to disable it quickly on multiple workstations: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/82c09ef4-f32e-4d41-97f3-74d9431f9f20

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Apps crash very often. System reboots.

Hello,
Problem is that applications very often crash.
The most: Safari, iBooks, GoodReader, Numbers, Pages.
App closes and the system returns to the main screen, not saving the changes that took place during use of the application.
Very often when pdf file is opened, it freezes the application (doesnt matter in which it is opened), and the iPad seems to be warmer than usually.
In addition, from time to time the device reboots - Apple logo shows and system restarts.
The iPad Air is 32 GB with cellular, the amount of free space on it is always over 2 gb, and closing other applications also does not help.
Please help or advice me, how I can improve stability of my device.
Sincerely,
Marco

Satellite C660 - Fan is launching very often

Hi
I am using Toshiba C660 laptop. I noticed, that fan is launching very often (temperature is 45-52 C ). I have tried to change "Toshiba Power Saver Settings V8.9.4.64" to "Battery optimized" in "Advanced power settings" but this didn't helps. I updated my BIOS to 1.80 version but it did't helps, too. When will be the new BIOS for this model?

Hello
Please dont understand me wrong but fan acitivy will be controlled automatically and is depending on CPU temperature. The fan will always start if CPU is running on high temperature to protect the hardware. So its normal.
What you can do after some months is cleaning the cooling system as described here:

The big gray volume icon is flashing randomly on my screen VERY often. Annoying!!! Please help me, someone!

Basically, after I installed Yosemite, the big gray volume icon (2" X 2" on a 23" screen) is flashing randomly on my screen VERY often. This is annoying. I have tried all peripherals including the possibility that there is dust/debris in my keyboard buttons. I disabled the keyboard and it still does it. Please help.

If you are correct there is nothing that can be done, I doubt that you are correct.
Try asking instead of telling.
Good luck

Delete button is getting grayed out very often in SMS

Delete button is getting grayed out very often in SMS section.. Screen also flicker at times...

Correct, it is not grayed out. A table uses a combination of renderers to display the data in each cell of the table. So there is no easy way to do this. You would need to provide custom renderers for each column of the table. You could easily "gray out" text cells, but what if a cell contains an image.
If all your cells are text based then you might be able to get away with overriding the prepareRenderer(...) method and simply change the foreground to a "gray" color. This posting should get you started:

Since iOS 8.3 upgrade school iPads need to reset very often

Since iOS 8.3 upgrade school iPads need to reset (holding down home and power button) very often as they do not turn on. iPads are charged at the time.
Anyone know how to fix this? It is making life at the school quite difficult.

I take that back, music is messed up too! Some of the "default" playlists, such as "recently added" , "Recently played" and "Top 25 Most Played" are listed on iTunes and were always on my phone... but since iOS 8.3... they are gone... Still in iTunes, but not on device.
