Skype is totally screwed up

Hi,
My Skype was working fine and suddenly stopped I was unable to put in my password. My computer service fixed that, the I realized I couldn't change to online mode and all my contacts appear to be offlinel So, I uninstalled and re-installed. Sgned out of skype and tried to log back in and now I'm back to the same problem - when I enter my password it just spins. Any ideas?
Thanks

What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Is it possible to download iOS 5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

Thank you for your reply.
I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
It may take me some time to figure this out.

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

This Verizon web settings for home phone is totally screwed up

I attempt to review/update my calling features.
From the main page (http://www22.verizon.com/ForYourHome/MyAccount/Protected/Overview/MyOverview.aspx), I do 'My Services' -> 'Home Phone' -> 'Home Phone Overview'. Then I click on 'Update Calling Features', and it comes up with
===== We are looking up your account information and checking for available services. This will only take a moment. =====
Then it shows some type of {please keep your posts courteous} order review. The web URL is https://www22.verizon.com/FORYOURHOME/GOFLOW/MyVerizonNew/ADDCHANGESERVICES.ASPX.
How screwed up is that? All I want to do is to review my calling features. This is totally screwed!

An update: This morning, I got a call from from Verizon support saying the problem had been fixed. I tried -- it wasn't fixed. So I gave tech support a call, I allowed them to remotely drive my PC so they could see for themselves that I still had the problem. After that, the tech support guy gave me a work-around for the problem; a new URL to bypass the verizon home page and go directly to the calling features settings. So, at least now, I can view/adjust the settings for my home phone. The tech support guy was helpful and at least now, I have a work around.

Mail V. 2.1.3 (753.1) acts totally weird, formatting totally screwed up

A few days ago I installed a Type 1 font (Helvetica Fractions) and it showed up unwanted in my mail.
So I disabled that font again and everything was good again. — A day later suddenly all mail settings were totally screwed up: The header takes half the screen (it looks like the fonts use a 500% line spacing); the interface graphics (blue bubbles, arrows etc. don't show); making the text larger or smaller acts weird (command+ makes it smaller, command- also, using the size panel 9pt makes it larger, 18pt and all others make it smaller); text lines are endless, images huge; copied and inserted text come as one word, has all blanks eliminated. — Tried all settings and preferences to no avail.
What to do? Re-install? How?

1} Safe Boot (holding shift key down) didn't work at all. The little clock (circle, how do you call it?) kept rotating and rotating, the ventilator joined in pretty noisily, but nothing happened.
OK, then your Hard Disk is messed up, either let it go for several minutes or until it completes, or...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

2) How do I right click and archive on a standard mouse? Also, no independent compression program available.
It's built into the OS and Control + Click = right click for one buttom mice.

ICS totally screwed up my phone

<Discussion moved from Android to DROID BIONIC by Motorola for more exposure.>
I need to know if there is anything I can do to fix my screwed up Bionic phone after the ICS update. I think I already know there isn't anything, but I'll vent anyway in case I might help somebody else avoid accepting this update. The upgrade downloaded about a week ago and at 7am in the morning when I noticed it, I'm not lucid enough to realize that I was potentially breaking my phone by accepting it. I worked on Verizon phones at Motorola for 11 years and I know how crazy Verizon usually is about testing new phones but software upgrades are a different story...they never have enough people using "old" phones to really user-trial upgrades so most of the time the new software has more user issues than the old software even though it might fix some obscure issues that nobody cares about. After about 5 hours stuck on "updating media", I finally had to pull the memory card because, you know, I actually have to use my phone once in a while and expect for $100/month, that I'd be able to do that all the time. Anyway, the phone came back after the memory card pull, but now the battery drains completely in only a few hours (and I have an extended battery). When I charge over night or any time, the phone never gets to more than 60% charge. I think it's because of background apps running, but I've tried using Task killers to stop background apps and I tried removing all the task killers and either way it doesn't help. I cannot open the gallery or any media players. I can see my media files when I use a file manager, so I know that they are still there, but I can't see or play any of them. There must be some engine changes in this software too because I swear the call processing is different. I'm in 3G in places I used to get 4G and I completely loose service at least once a day now and have to perform a reboot (I used to get this once every few days unfortunately). I know that as soon as I call Verizon, they will tell me a have to do a factory reset since that's their solution for everything that isn't a simple settings change. I've already spent 3 hours trying to fix this thing and I can't believe I'm about to spend another 3 erasing all my data and setting it back up. The biggest pain right now is that the USB interface appears to totally broken. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers on my PC, 3 different USB cables, Different USB ports, power cycling both devices and everything else I could think off...and I am pretty used to doing all this stuff after working on prototype phones at MOT. Nothing worked and so I can't backup my phone data before I do the reset (my 16GB memory card doesn't have much space left). I'll bite the bullet now and I guess I'll be buying an Iphone next time from AT&T because I will never buy an Android phone from Verizon again...I hold grudges for a LONG time.

The process may vary among phones, but on the Bionic:
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

My keychain is totally screwed?!?! Help!!!!

Hi all...
My Keychain is totally 100% screwed up. I've tried all the ways I know to fix it and get it back to where I can use it without a hundred boxes popping up on m screen .... Can anyone offer any diehard or alternative ways to get it fixed? Thanks in advance!!

Deleting the Keychain entirely is likely to fix the problem and may be the least time-consuming option. The consequence of deleting it will be that you will need to supply your credentials again for every service that requires them, but you only have to do that once.

Is there a "restore" feature, like windows has? I installed "CleanGenius" and it has totally screwed up my computer! I just want to go back home!! Thanks

I recently downloaded a trial version of CleanGenius from MacPromo..looked promising, but after I ran it, most of my oft visited sites are totally garbled or missing. Facebook, eBay, a local newpaper, etc all screwed up..unreadable. Is there a "restore" feature (like Windows system restore) that I can use so that all this will just seem like a bad dream? Hope so..thanks for your time. Dave

I then saw the above response from WZZZ whose advise to visit a web site that was so general as to be unhelpful.
First, you were posting in an older thread titled "Is there a restore feature....?" Next, you had no idea what files your crapware program removed. The idea was to return your computer to the state it was in before you did the so called "cleaning." If you had bothered to look around that extremely detailed site, which you in ignorance describe as "being so general as to be unhelpful," you would easily have found 14. How do I restore my entire system?
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
And simply moving that program to the Trash wouldn't have restored the files it removed. And, it is also possible that parts of that program are still on your computer because it may have installed important or unimportant files elsewhere than in /Applications.
And Debbie and friends at Apple know nothing about Time Machine. It will restore your computer to the state it was in, minus any subsequently installed applications.
Besides, removing your crapware program wasn't your question. It was how do I restore my system to where it was before I allowed that program to run.
The notifications issue had nothing to do with your original question. It happened because of the way you initially set up your account here.
So, thanks for your gratitude.

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

TS1702 When will Apple come out with a new update because the last one totally screwed up my Ipod? Whenever I try to get on an app, it crashes. I can't even download any more apps. I can't get on safari or most apps without it crashing.

Why does the new update for IPod screw up the function? I can't get on hardly any of my apps, let alone, download any more apps either. I am one unhappy person.

Did you already try to set it up as new device, without using the backup afterwards?

My apple tv(3rd Gen) total screws. connection always break down, nothing changes on the setting!!! no movies, no iTunes, only seconds than it is gone!!

One month after purchase and perfect functioning my apple Tv is screwed! I can not stream any content to since the connection always breaks down after second, also itunes etc cannot be accessed!!
I did everything, changed Routher channels to all possible options(13 different and although everything worked before), resetted at the PC ( Was not possible to wifi, connection broke doWn), also resetted the Router. I switched of HD and all kinds off things, no sign of change!
I found out that actually some apple TV's have a problem with the wifi chip, might be one of those?
Contacted Apple, they are exchanging it against a used and repaired one?!?! Hello?! It is one month old!!!! No scratches!! And I still had to wait before they checked mine!!!
I want a new one!! Support is an hilarious excuse for a company that sells this kind of quality image!!! I am hugely disappointed!!
Did anyone else have this kind of problems?

So you are having a network connection issue. Have you run the network diagnositics to test the connection? Have you trying using a wired connection to isolate if it is a WiFi issue?
I can not stream any content to since the connection always breaks down after second
How are you streaming? AirPlay? ATV menu?
I can not stream any content to since the connection always breaks down after second, itunes etc cannot be accessed!!
Is homesharing enabled?
I did everything,
Clearly you have not done everything since the problem has not been found. Lets try to stick to reality here.
I found out that actually some apple TV's have a problem with the wifi chip, might be one of those?
It is not likely if you just bought it new. You can google for the model numbers that were specificly recalled though if you want to check.
Did anyone else have this kind of problems?
A lot of the issues posted are network related. Most come down to WiFi issues. Streaming video rarely works well over WiFi unless you have extremely high end WiFi hardware to support it. Any streaming video product will work better connected via eithernet.

My iPad 2 it totally screwed up at the recovery mode of death after trying to update it to IOS 7. Error 27.

I have already open a case with Apple and they’ve already started to ignore me. I sent a lot of information to them and so far I haven’t heard from them. It is really frustrating! Apple should have tested the updated better and shouldn’t allow it to run if they knew it wouldn’t work in some devices.
Output of my lastest log with the latest iTunes installed.
[16:34:26.0988] ==== end of device restore output ====

Same error with Ipad 3 wifi version. Failed during upgrade and now restore compates but validating restore fails with error 27.
Cannot use device at all as it is stucked on recovery mode. Tried anything.
Apple parnter service did simply charged me for trying but did not know what is wrong with the device. The fix = new one.
This is totally a bug in the SW or the upgrade broke the Ipad. Good job Apple. Now we have to get new one.

My Samsung Galazy s3 is totally screwed up. Help?

My Galaxy s3 is really, really screwed up. Sometimes it won't take pictures. If I'm taking a video, if the video is over 30 seconds long it won't save it and my phone will crash and freeze when I try to save it. A couple days ago, it didn't receive any texts for 2 days until I turned it off and then back on and it got them all then. When I do turn my phone off and back on, it freezes. Sometimes I can't lock the screen. It won't upload things to google drive without it crashing. When doing app updates, I can't use it because it will freeze if I try. This phone is only a year old, so it shouldn't be doing this. I can't deal with it anymore. Help please?!

My goodness! That is quite the list of difficulties, khancock13. Did you notice these difficulties start after a particular application or update was installed? Are you seeing error messages when it crashes or freezes?

I think my ibook is totally screwed.....

ok, so first off, I'm going to sound like an idiot. I manage bands, not computers..... I envy whoever can answer this. So I was in the "get info" section of my hard drive and dropped down the ownership and permissions window and I think I accidentally left it on "no access" then when I closed that window, everything went away except for the dock, nothing would open so I restarted the computer. I get to the log in screen no problem, type in my password..... and then it just sits with a blank bluue screen. Also, I don't have any of my original cd'ss that came with the computer, but i do have my imac g5 cd's if that would do anything?...... so I guess I'm screwed????
Anyway, If anybody can figure this out, I will send you cd's t-shirts. you can check out the band @ www.myspace..com/scientistvswerewolf

Did you have a backup of everything on your iBook before this happened, perhaps on your iMac G5? Or are there files on the iBook that are not currently on the iMac? Depending on the answer, that presents two possible solutions.
First, you can't use your CDs from the iMac on the iBook; they're not compatible, so if you don't can't find the CDs for your iBook. you will need to buy a retail version of OS X 10.3 or 10.4, whichever you need or prefer.
If you can find the CDs for your iBook, you can use it to run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions; this may fix the problem. If not, assuming you have a backup of what's on the iBook or at least nothing you can't easily replace, you can do an Archive & Install, preserving Uses and Network settings. This will move everything currently on the iBook to a Previous System folder, which won't be usable anymore. If the files you need are in one of its sub folders, you can copy them over to your new install and then delete the Previous System folder.
Can't find the iBook CDs? Then you should try connecting your iBook and iMac in Target Disk Mode, and see if you can use Disk Utility to repair permissions on the iBook. In this case, the iBook is the Target.
In the future, don't change anything unless you understand the consequences of doing it, and have a backup plan just in case.
Hope this helps,

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 -- code view is totally screwed, so is design view. Split view works fine.

I just started having an extremely annoying issue in DW8-XP.
The code view is completely messed up. I can switch to code view,
but nothing is there. Just a ghost of the split view I was just in.
If I open a new file (like css file) in code view, I see a ghost of
the last view. Since css files don't have a split or design view,
I'm screwed. Cannot firgure out how to delete the config file. Do
you think this would help? Would it erase any settings I have
currently set?
I tried switching to a default layout, restarting and all. No
luck. Little help? :D

Restart the system.
