Skype Number Already In Use By Someone Else

I have just bought a Skype number and when my contacts ring it, it is answered by another company. I have just had a conversation with this company and they are a legitimate business and "my" skype number is their legitimate phone number.  How can I cancel my Skype number?

Hello martm81
Apologies for this mix-up. Please contact Customer Support and let them know your assigned Skype Number is an existing number, so they can cancel your subscription and remove it from the database.

    Cara,
    If those email addresses are already in use somewhere else, you can get new email addresses for your kids.  You can do this via your ISP, or by one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

    I just signed up for a skype number subscription and it works just fine when calling from skype to mobile or landline but when my skype number is called from a mobile or landline it goes to a business that is already using that number. Who do i contact to get a different number?

    I purchased a Skype number in New Zealand and rang it - it is used by a business.  What do I do.

    Hi, amcsp, and welcome to the Community,

  • I bought a new macbook pro and its already been used by someone else. Please help!!!!!

    I bought last week a new MBP 13" with retina display but after 2 days I started using the mail app but when I was about the set my mail account, I notice that there was already another name in the name section. I was just wondering if apple sells refurbished macbook pro as new????? this is the second time a return my macbook pro because the first time it had a defect on the screen.

    I would take it straight back to the store and explain what happened. They should replace it with a new model. While you're still in the store, open it up in front of them and make sure it prompts you to set the computer up from scratch (e.g., create user, etc).

  • Remote speaker being used by someone else

    Using iTunes 10.0.1.22 on Windows XP. Have Airport Express hooked up and am using the latest updates to AE. Was able to connect iTunes to AE just fine until I updated iTunes to 10.0.1.22. Now, I keep getting the error message "the remote speaker is currently being used by someone else. please select another speaker from the bottom of the iTunes window." I don't have another speaker, just Computer and the AE (which is connected to a receiver connected to speakers). I was able to listen to my iTunes library thru iTunes or Pandora with AE. I can still listen to Pandora, but every single time I try to listen to iTunes I get the same error message. I've been debugging this for 2 weeks to no avail. I've contacted RogueAmoeba and they have been great trying to help, but nothing works. I'm beginning to think this is an Apple/iTunes problem/bug.
    In iTunes-Preferences-Devices, I do have "Look for remote speakers connected with Airplay" checked and "Allow iTunes control from remote speakers" checked which is supposed to allow you to control iTunes with a third-party remote connected to AirPort Express. I admit I'm not sure I understand Airplay and how it works or not works with Airport Express. I'm connected wireless to AE and my computer.
    Any ideas what's wrong...this is driving me nuts and I miss my music!
    Thanks!

    Then in that case since you get audio when the Apple TV is used with other devices I have to assume the problem lies with the receiver and with a little luck is nothing more than a setting.
    The message about the speaker being used by someone else is interesting and possibly related possibly not. That message will appear if the Apple TV is already playing something and you try to play something else by Airplay. I assume when the Apple Tv is connected to your receiver you receive the message all the time, even if you play something from the Apple TV and let it finish. What about when you connect the Apple TV to another device, under what circumstances do you get the message then.

  • If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

    If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

    If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

  • Airtunes speakers "being used by someone else"

    Hello. I have an Airport Extreme running a WDS, and an Airport Express as a remote basestation on that network. Everything works fine, except that, as of last week, choosing the Express' remote speakers in iTunes results in the message that they are "being used by someone else."
    I have tried everything I have read in the forum, to no avail. My firmware is up to date. I have the latest iTunes (6.0.1). I'm running 10.4.2. I have set the Express back to factory default, and set it up again fresh. I have renamed the Airtunes speakers. Nothing does any good.
    The story is this: a couple of weeks ago, our receiver blew out, and we took our system apart for repair. At that time, Airtunes was working perfectly. We got the receiver back, fixed, and reinstalled everything this past weekend. Airtunes gives me this error now. We have a TiVo Series 2 box plugged in to the Ethernet port of the Express, and it is networking fine. I have not installed the TiVo Desktop software, so my Mac running iTunes should not be confused about where it is sending audio.
    My only thought is this: Airtunes settings include the checkbox to enable Airtunes over Ethernet. This choice, while enabled, is also grayed out, so I can't turn it off (I'm told this is part of the WDS or something?) Could the Express be confused, with something plugged into the Ethernet port, thinking that this is using the speaker setup?
    I tried running iTunes with the TiVo unhooked from the Ethernet port, in fact, I tried it right after factory resetting the Express (I never plugged the Ethernet jack in) but it still gave me the "being used by someone else" error.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you,
    Danny.

    Henry,
    Well, I am glad to hear that it isn't the settings, nor the TiVo plugged in. But that does leave me in a state of limbo, eh? To reiterate, I have restarted the iTunes running Mac (we also have an iBook, but it has been shut down for all these tests), and I did factory reset the Express.
    Would it help to factory reset the Extreme? I wouldn't think so, it having nothing to do with Airtunes... but I'll try anything.
    I've seen in other threads that iTunes 5 appeared to produce this effect for some people... (though the majority of them were streaming fine and then would suddenly lose their speakers, whereas mine never make an initial connection...) could it be that iTunes 6 and 6.0.1 are doing it to me? There was no posted resolution for those other people, so I don't know if they had their issue solved.
    Still tuneless,
    Danny.

  • My Pin is locked and it's being used by someone else!

    Hi,
    I'm from Venezuela and I bought my Blackberry Curve 8320 through Amazon last week.
    When I was trying to activate my BB services here in Venezuela they found out that the pin is being used by someone else in USA with TMobile. How can this be possible?
    I called TMobile and they are not able to do anything.
    Who can help me to release my pin so I can use it here in Venezuela?

    did you buy the device at Amazon or at Amazon MarketPlace? I think you bought a used phone at the MarketPlace. You have to contact the seller and tell them to call T-Mobile to have the PIN released.

    Error : "Airport Expess" is currently being used by someone else. Please select another device from the menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Please help me with this issue.
    I have iTunes constantly throwing this error whenever I try to stream to my AirPort Express.
    it is frustrating not getting any answer from Apple.
    They just ignore those of us having the same problem
    Thanks
    Luis

    Replaying to myself, I found what was causing the problem.
    I have an Ubuntu machine and I was making some test to stream to Airport Express from Ubuntu.
    Under Pulseaudio preferneces I had checked "Make discoverable Apple Airtunes sound devices available locally" for tests some months ago.
    Unchecking it solves the problem.

    I hope someone can tell me the preferred way to get passed this message in respect to connecting to ATV speakers via iTunes on the computer.
    I want to use multiple speakers via iTunes in my computer.
    But when I try to connect to the speakers assigned to the ATV, I get the above "The remote speaker [name] is currently being used by someone else" message.
    What do I need to do (in the ATV) to make the speakers accessible when this happens?

    have you tried the obvious things first like restarting both the appletv and itunes ?
