SKYPE IS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES

so i have the app on windows 8 which i prefer better then the stupid desktop thing BUT NOW it says i need to download an updated version so when i click download nothing happens and i cant use the app what so ever anymore. !

The Skype uApp, is retired due to Windows 10'a unified architecture, fortunately. You may however download Skype for desktop (or just Skype now ) here: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype On a side note; thank you for the kind words at the end of your posting I'm happy to help out.

  • This is really getting on my NERVES!! _NOT A GRIPER_ legitamate question...

    I am writing a sort of desktop program (sort of like the desktop to Windows and or any X Window System desktop like GNome or KDE, you get the picture) I've written a FileIcon class that extends JPanel, and I have added a listener for Mouse Drag, so that in theory when you drag the icon it follows the mouse. It looks something like this:
    //this is in the constructor:
    this.addMouseMotionListener(new java.awt.event.MouseMotionAdapter() {
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
    this_mouseDragged(e);
    void this_mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
    this.setLocation(e.getPoint());
    Okay now here is the IDIOTIC ANNOYING AGGREVATING NERVE RACKING (sorry I had to vent) PROBLEM:
    The Icon does two things that it should not be doing:
    First it I guess the average of the point where it started and the point where my mouse is. The farther I move from the starting point from the mouse, the farther behind it goes.
    Secondly, and more annoying, is it blinks between two different locations, so sometimes when I let go of the mouse at the bottom of the screen, the icon will have moved towards the top of the screen. It lands on whatever of the two locations, both following the mouse from different angles (see problem number 1), happens to be its position at the moment. Try it out:
    make a JPanel with a null layout and add the IconClass made below,
    make some IconClass extending JPanel, with the above code for the drag event, and try dragging it around a little bit.
    All and any help is appreciated and if I have any duke dollars left I will reward a complete fix answer with as many as I can.

    I found a suitable fix, incase anyone else is trying to do this:
    Point point1 = this.getLocation();
    Point point2 = this.getLocation();
    MouseEvent dragEvent;
    public Point addPoint(Point p1, Point p2)
    point1 = this.getLocation();
    point2 = dragEvent.getPoint();
    int x = (int) (p1.getX() + p2.getX() - 40);
    int y = (int) (p1.getY() + p2.getY() - 40);
    return new Point(x,y);
    public void run()
    this.setLocation(addPoint(point1,point2));
    void this_mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
    highlight(MOUSE_DRAG,e);
    if (type != 0)
    dragEvent = e;
    Thread t = new Thread(this);
    t.start();
    It works pretty well

  • Why does firefox keeps forcing itself on top of all other windows? it doesn't matter what website im on, it always does it! Really gets on my nerves when im watching a video only to have it minimized and firefox slammed in my face lol...

    It's not to do with what website I'm on - Firefox ALWAYS does this even if I just have a blank tab open! Seems to happen in ubuntu and windows 7. Does anyone know why this is??

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Itunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3 - stuck @ waiting for changes to be applied - Its getting on to nerves !!!

    All was working fine, until I updated to iOS 7 and connected to itunes. All my music was wiped off my device, god knows what happened. Since 3 weeks I have been failing to sync my music back again, but with vain.
    For people whom the troubleshooting steps have worked, have been really lucky. Unfortunately nothing worked for me, spent hours together doing the below steps
    1. Re-Install iOS - restore, which took hours to download and install
    2. Uninstalled itune 3 times and chose multiple locations to install
    3. did a setting reset on the iphone
    4. tried syncing playlist by playlist
    5. tried installing/uninstalling an app while sync in progress, no luck
    6. tried syncing over wi-fi, no luck
    7. restart, hard reset, no luck.
    This is getting onto my nerves now, APPLE, hope your developers are looking into this, this can never be a fault with the device hardware, this has got to do something with the crappy iOS7 or the itunes 11.1.2
    Haven't seen anyone even caring about this topic, where hundreds of people are shouting on the same issue.
    Battery back up ***** after OS upgrade. Overheating.
    Please do something, before I move out to a Windows Phone.
    Many Thanks for all the trouble your new OS and itunes has given to its consumers.
    Rgds,
    Ravi

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • IPhoto 6 getting on my nerves, will v8 help me?

    Hello,
    I've been using iPhoto 6.0.6 for a while now for organising my photos, and uploading them to Picasaweb and/or Facebook using the 3rd-party plugins.
    The 6 version has everything I need (as far as I know), but it also has a number of 'features' that are getting on my nerves, and that have me wondering if they persist in the current version (which I am not going to buy just because it has more bells and whistle, and eats up twice as much space for themes and such... :-/ )
    1) Something I grapple with every time I add photos: even when instructed NOT to add colour profiles to imported photos, I find that a good part end up getting a copy in the Modified folder. Mostly vertical ('portrait') pictures, but curiously not always all of them, and it depends on the camera. I don't want those doubles (MANYmpix cameras eat hddisk space as it is), so I spend my time telling iPhoto to 'revert to original'. Correction, that's not enough (they'll just come back!), so I empty those directories in Modified, then lock them, and only then instruct iPhoto to 'revert to original'. This takes way too much time ... and frankly ... display orientation could be a metadata flag, not an edit of the picture data!
    2) Today, I added about 1Gb of pictures taken with my new dSLR, already sorted and selected outside of iPhoto, on an external harddisk. I'd decided not to import those pics in my iPhoto folder, but leave them on the external. I noticed that iPhoto had made an alias to each file in the Originals directory, plus a bunch of files (copies) in Modified. So much for "not importing into the iPhoto library...!). Long story short: I did as above: trahsed the copies in Modified, locked the directories they'd been in, relaunched iPhoto, selected all new photos and instructed it to 'revert to original'.
    SURPRISE
    I started getting yells about missing files. Files that had been there moments before, but were now, indeed, GONE. Gone from the external, while the alias in Originals persisted! I'm well aware that I trying to do something unsupported in iPhoto, but that shouldn't have resulted in file deleting outside of the iPhoto library!
    I'll report this as a bug, but I'd appreciate if someone with the latest version could try to see if s/he can reproduce the issue.
    3) Creating of aliases to photos not imported into the iPhoto library
    4) if a (vertical) photo has to be rotated to be displayed correctly, its thumbnail (typically having the right orientation) will be rotated too, ending up in the wrong orientation
    5) I organise my photos in albums, which are stored in folders (maps), usually per year. New albums are always created in the 'root', so have to be moved into the right map. Impossible to put them at the end of the existing list in the target map. The only way I found to put them there is by putting them at the fore-last position, and then move the last album 1 position up.
    Feedback on this would be much appreciated.

    I'm not sure you understand it. Witness the whole rotation issue.
    Please don't make the mistake of taking me for your average computer illiterate. I understand fully well that the orientation flag as recorded in the EXIF data is only to allow applications to open the image in the intended orientation. I'd hope that those $$$ apps you mention do just that. What happens afterwards, is indeed undefined. I disagree with iPhoto's stance to impose an unasked-for edit onto the user, for a simple operation that could in fact simply be done on the fly each time the photo is displayed. I find that approach to be more consistent with an app that is not primarily an editor, but an organiser.
    I also disagree with the feature that it will keep doing the operation (and storing a modified file) even after I tell it to revert back to the original. The way you're explaining things, that command is de facto senseless on pictures with the orientation flag set to vertical, as iPhoto might re-edit the file immediately after finishing the command.
    The folders in my Modifled directory are write-protected, but perfectly readable. They're just empty. iPhoto is designed to handle that: it will display a place-holder for pictures it cannot find in the expected place (as stored in the XML file AlbumData.xml). That's explicable behaviour. A more intelligent app would proceed to find the original, but in iPhoto the "revert to original" command is required to do so manually.
    That's about all there's to it for photos that were imported into the library.
    NOTHING in that behaviour explains or even allows to suspect that when files are 'Referenced' as you call it, the original will get unlinked when iPhoto tries to access ... the modified photo it cannot find. Remember, for truly imported files, it stops trying and shows a placeholder when a modified file is missing. It does not unlink the original file.
    Please note that there are also unintentional reasons why a file could go missing from somewhere within the Modified folder. Would you be happy your original got lost too with the explanation that something unexpected happened? Or would you consider that iPhoto should have guaranteed that nothing it ever does will cause a change to your original, in other words, that you'd not have lost that original picture?
    You confirm my hunch: the Calendar function is to get at (the "origininals") of all pictures taken in a given year. Not for making a meta-organisation of your pictures (remember that each photo can be in an unlimited number of albums, but each album can only be in a single place. (This may be hard to fathom for someone who's only used to the almost flat organisation of files under Mac OS X, as opposed to other Unixs?)
    My gripe is just that appending an album to (the end of) a list of albums in a folder takes more operations than should be necessary.
    As to the "some system to tracking" ... full filenames are stored in the aforementioned XML file. It would have been easier and probably more robust to store the path to where the file truly lives in that file, rather than the path to an alias to that file. If not only because aliases also take place on disk (and proportionally more than a photo, in fact, even if they're showed as being 0 bytes in size!). I'm still quite convinced that it's something in the kernel-level of aliases that's responsible to what happened to me yesterday. The Unix-side of OS X doesn't 'understand' aliases as well as the 'Finder-side' understands Unix soft- and hard-links.
    You know what a really agressive problem-solving method is? Dunking the computer all together...
    Yesterday's solution for keeping the files where I want was simple, in the end. I surrendered, and imported the pictures into the iPhoto library. But then, aside from the tried-and-true process of emptying and write-locking the folder in Modified, and doing a revert-to-original on all imported photos, I replaced the newly created folders inside Originals with symbolic links (NO Finder aliases!) to the true original location on the external harddisk. I'd had a slight doubt whether iPhoto would or would not accept this (by doing an @n@l check that would be too complicated to explain here, and utterly senseless), but no problems there.
    I'd have preferred to modify the XML data, but this workaround was faster and possibly less problem-prone.
    Now, I'm going to hijack my thread a tiny bit. As mentioned, I use iPhoto to organise my pictures, add some comments, and most of the time, upload them to a Picasaweb album.
    There are 2 'on-my-nerve' issues with that, one new from yesterday, which seem suitable to discuss in this thread.
    A) the uploader plugin claims there's a new version, but upgrading only installs the standalone uploader (plus a bunch 'updaters' in system places without as much as mentioning it: gogole bad!). Has anyone managed to find an updated version? A quick websearch yielded no answers here.
    B) The new thing, which I"m very excited about ... I was uploading the 400-some photos of my last trip, and adding some locations to photos already in picasaweb, for once using Safari. To be exact, I was scrolling through satellite imagery of the Waddenzee, following the ferry route we'd taken, when everything froze in a way I rarely experience (mouse included). The thumbnail image of the image being uploaded seemed corrupted, the only other indication something had gone wrong. The panic log indicates a crash occurred in the display driver or some similar lowlevel location. I then installed the latest security patch (005 ?), which apparently contains some protection(s) against boundary issues in the lowlevel display handling. I don't know if there's a link, but I had to upload the remaining 60 photos by batches of 6 at the most, each time terminated by a message that picasaweb was not available.
    Does this ring a bell? Could the uploader be doing something that triggered the issue that's worked around in the latest security release (and caused the KP), as a result of which the upload process now terminates with an error? Remember, I uploaded more than 300 photos in a row and without a glitch before the KP, so it's reasonable to presume that my iPhoto hack isn't the cause here (in fact, I upload reduced versions, so the uploader first creates those, and then upload those copies, which are stored I have no idea where but probably not in the iPhoto library).

  • KeyChain Getting On My Nerves

    At first I thought KeyChain would be a great help, but now it is just getting on my nerves. I really do not want to have to enter my KeyChain password just to check for new mail messages, or to auto fill in web passwords. Is there any way to keep KeyChain's ability to remember passwords, without me needing to remember a password to enable it? I already have one main password before anyone can even get into my account, so I am not too worried about security. Thanks!

    It's not supposed to work that way. Open Keychain Access (utilities folder), go under the first menu and run keychain first aid.

  • MBP C2D 17" - Fans Getting on my Nerves

    The fan noise on my laptop is driving me insane, not because it is loud - it is actually very quiet but it keeps changing in loudness, even when the computer is sitting idle on desktop.
    One second the fan will be fairly quiet and then suddenly it will go a bit louder for 10 seconds and then quiet again or something like that. I wouldn't mind, even if it was loud and it stayed like it but it is really getting to me when I am working in a quiet room and it goes loud, then quieter. And it seems to click in between which I think is the hard disk telling them to start.
    Anyone know what could be causing this as it is driving me up the wall?
    Thanks

    I get the exact same thing. This is my second C2D and am loathe to return it as I am writing up my thesis. But like u it really gives me the irrates. Furthermore when backing up my files to disc the fans start blasting away. Overall I must say that the Intel experience for me has not been good at all.

  • Really Getting Back into Photoshop, What Should I Read?

    Hello, all.
    I'm really getting back into Photoshop, what should I read? I just finished the Visual QuickStart Guide, and I have to admit that it has been good for getting me back up to speed quickly, but it's very, very lightweight. I've read Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS2 for Photographers, and although it's good it's too gimmicky for me. I looked at the behemoth Real World for CS2, and that is way more than I need right now.
    Is there anything substantial that would fit between the QuickStart and the Real World?
    I'm a portrait/headshot/editrial photographer. I'm in control of my color and tonality. I don't do collaging or photomerging. I use PS for blemish removal, general localized retouching (clean up stray hairs, cloning out sockets on the wall, things like that...), and some other basic things. I have CS2 at home, where I use PS the most, and CS3 at work.
    Any robust suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Scott

    Thanks!
    I mentioned that the Real World stuff is too intense for my level right now.
    Ben Wilmore...never heard of him. I'll have to do a little snooping...
    Eismann: you guys seem to be on to something. I like her style. I spent a long time in Borders today checking out her stuff. She has a Masking and Compositing book, a Restoration and Retouching book, and a Creative Digital Darkroom book. Not sure which one would be what I need though :(

  • Error 13019 really getting annoyed now please help!

    I have an iPod touch 1st generation. I have the latest 3.0 update and I have the latest iTunes update. Yesterday my iPod was working fine. Now, every time I try to sync music, iTunes backs up my iPod but then gives me error 13019. I know what it means, but how do I get rid of it? I havent done anything to my ipod or iTunes that would give it an error. I havent updated anything so why would it give me errors? I have already tried resetting my computer and iPod. It says my iPod can't be synced. But I know it can because I can put movies, apps, and everything else on it. Just not music. Please help me with this. I am really getting annoyed with all my iPod problems now!!!
