Skype profile has extra number, not added by me!

Hi,
I have been told that when you right click my name, and view my brief profile, it shows with my mobile number, that I have added. And with an extra number titled 'mobile2' Which I do not recognise, and have definitely not added. I cannot see it myself, only the other person could see it. When I edit my profile, it doesn't show up there. Only my real number.
Also, my profile says I live in Antarctica, which I also cannot see. It says destination unspecified. So, its only the other person who can see Antarctica and an extra number.
How is this possible?

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways.  First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder.  Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file.  You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder.  Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't.  I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder.  Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space).  Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same.  If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer.  It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

  • Whether Skype profiles has a certain time of valid...

    Hi there, I'm concerned whether Skype profiles has a certain time of validity - i.e. if I don't log in for let's say 2 or 3 years whether it will be automatically deleted - OR - there is no such thing and even if I log in after let's say 3 years my account will still be active and my Contacts' list won't be deleted. 10x in advance.

    The behavior you describe is normal if you enabled FileVault. The startup sequence takes place after you enter your password, not before. Also see below.
    Automatic and Sudden Termination of Apps
    Automatic app termination manages the life cycle of apps behind the scenes, terminating apps that are not being used and allowing the reclamation of resources such as memory. With this feature, users no longer need to explicitly quit apps (although they still can, if they want to). Instead, the operating system is responsible for managing app processes with the goal of ensuring optimal system performance.

  • Blurry Skype Profile Picture

    I've yet to see any legitimate fixes for this.  With this new client I'm now forced to use, I seem to be expericing this bug/issue.  When I encountered this in the past, I just downgraded a version and waited until a newer version came out that I didn't experience this issue with.
    Now that Skype is forcing people to use this one specific version (and future newer ones), I'm at a loss that this bug is still not properly fixed.  
    Also any responses about the image resolution, image quality, image file extention - no.  I've always had a HQ Skype profile image, I'm not trying to upload a picture from a potato that's 60x60.  It's not a stretching issue, it's not a resolution issue, it's a Skype issue.  I've never had this problem before and I've always had perfectly HQ images as my profile picture, when I rarely did have these issues, it was the versions fault after I upgraded - not mine.  Upgrading past that version or below that version gave me crystal clear profile pictures again and I never changed what I was doing or how I got them to be HQ.
    Now that I'm being forced to use this new version, I'd like to know if there are any fixes for this issue or are people who also have this issue (and have had it for awhile now - a simple google search will show you how far back this issue has occured) have to endure this until a new version comes out that hopefully does not carry on with the said bug?
    I've tried uploading the image at full resolution, smaller resolution, and from my phone.  Since I'm no longer able to use portable Skype apps that are lower than the newest version, I'm unable to utilize that fix.  I saw someone say uploading it from an iPhone works - I do not have an iPhone.  There was another solution about not using Windows 8 Desktop version - I use Windows 7 therefore I am unable to utilize that fix either.
    Has anyone found a work around for this?  A fix?  Anything?  

    Okay, this is just pure annoying. I have a professional group on Skype, because most are used to Skype over Google Hangouts. I've had this group for a very long time. Over the years, we've upgraded the logo, and each time, we've made a Group Profile logo in Adobe Illustrator, as a high DPI Vector image. 
    Well, for the past like year, our logo, no matter what resolution it's in (96X96), (480X480), hell the full on 1920X1920, and all variants I can think of between still leaves the image blurry. I've even created a pure black and white version of the logo, to see if color support was the cause. It's still blurry. I've uploaded from one of our Mac's (OSX 10.7), Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows XP Pro, Android (Moto X Gen 1), iPHone 6 Plus (latest OS), and it's STILL BLURRY. 
    This is a seriously high quality logo, yet Skype makes it garbage for all of the professionals in my Group to see. No matter how I crop it, change it, upload it and from where, it's still frigging Blurry.
    So as long as I use Skype, my brand will always look like retro-grade Windows 98 First Edition trash. Thank you Microsoft for never fixing this. I really appreciate the aggravation. 
    I've attached a sample logo (that isn't of my brand, or of my brands purpose). This sample is JPG that I just tried, as I was thinking maybe changing the image to something completely pointless may stop it from being blurry. It's still blurry. It's not any particular resolution, it's just a simple image to push home the point. It looks higher quality when full size, but in Skype, it looks like this:

  • Wrong mobile number not in my profile

    My Husband has advised me that his mobile number is showing up against my contact in his Skype.  It is showing up as 'call mobile 2'.  I have gone over my profile and cannot find it.  I removed my correct mobile number from my Skype profile but that only meant my correct number disappeared from my contact - my contact on my friends still has my husbands mobile number.  How do I fix this?

    @blah7:
    No problem, glad I could help. I wouldn't recommend Doctoring your phone unless there is another problem that warrants that troubleshooting step. I just think that if you ever have to sign out of your profile through a partial erase or webOS Doctor, that likely your phone number would update at that point.
    You're not having a problem right now, so "If it's not broke..."

  • USA skype number not working

    Have a toll free number purchased elsewhere and then purchased a skype USA number to have the calls forwarded to that.
    Skype number doesn't work.  Spent 3 hours with skype instant chat support 10 days ago and problem could not be resolved so it was "esacalated to a higher leverl" with NO time frame given for a resolution.
    A week later no resolution and no contact from skype so again spent another 2 hours on skype instant chat support and asked for a refund.  Was passed to another support person to get the refund but this person only wanted to go through the whole thing again until after an hour later I finally had to demand several times for a refund. 
    Was then told I could not have a refund but instead I could have a voucher to obtain another skype USA number for free.  Went through all the steps to obtain this number with the voucher but it didn't work.  Received an email to say here is your skype number (no number shown) and enjoy with family and friends.  Got back to skype support who was waiting and told her what happened. 
    Spent another hour on instant chat support and had to send screen shots to show that I was now being asked for another payment even though the voucher had been verified and accepted.
    Problem still could not be resolved and again I was told that my issue would be escalated to a higher level but NO time frame could be given.
    SKYPE!!!  You have got to be joking with me right?  Wrong!  Still no resolution and my customers have no way to contact me because the phone number doesn't work.  Losing money every day in lost sales to my business.
    Is there any skype support person out there who cares and can do something about this shoddy non-service?
    Not happy

    I did hear your call however this is the first time I ever heard the call ringing on my skype.
    What number did you call?  Can you please reply and let me know?
    Thank you
    Hi,
    I an having the same issue. I have had my number for years and ported it out to a prepaid plan. After I forgot to reload the prepaid phone, it quickly canceled my plan and number.  When I searched Skype for a similar number, I was surprised to see my number back in the Skype Number Pool.  So I repurchased it and I didn't notice the problem until when I tried to port it back to Tmobile and after days of waiting and troubleshooting by Tmobile, they told me they couldn't get the number transferred because it's not my number and they said that the landline company who holds or owns or carries the number can't be reached. This has been going on for almost a year now. 
    After further research, I read that those phone number carriers who sell phone numbers in wholesale are called CLEC. There are only a handful of those companies.  I am don't know what to do and Skype can't help me either.  I really need to get this resolved. 
    If you were able to get your number working, please let me know.  The message that callers of my number get is this "you have reached THE non working number, announcement 1 4 switch 2 0 - 4".

  • I reported to Austin Police Department about my unlocked iphone was stolen last week. I'm ****** off that Serial number of my stolen iphone is on another Apple ID.   IMEI still is not added into blacklist.  How can I contact to Apple Inc??

    I don't understand why Austin Police are not doing to detain theft when I showed an location with valid address according Find my iPhone on icloud.com.  They said that it might be wrong location but few blocks were correct location. I stopped at Apple Retail Store to get another unlocked iphone. I explained an employee whether they would add both IMEI and serial number into blacklist to make useless for anyone. They said they have nothing to doing. 
    I'm shocked today that IMEI number is still not added into blacklist. Serialnumber of my stolen iphone is already on another Apple ID, after restoring it.
    They let me down because unlocked iphone is EXPENSIVE, it costs $800 in Canada.
    How can I deal with Apple Inc to add both serial number and IMEI into blacklist UNTIL i get my stolen iphone back

    What blacklist? There is no universal blacklist in the US. They're working on it, but it does not exist as of this writing.
    Apple can't do anything about it. They are not a law enforcement agency.

  • Phone number not displayed properly with Skype plug-in

    I have a contact phone number in the text with area code etc.
    When displayed by Firefox, Skype changes the number so you can launch Skype and call the number.
    Very nice but it also blocks out part of the number so if the viewer did not want to use Skype, they are not able to see the number.
    (See attached png)
    How do i display the contact number so that Skype will not block part of the number?
    My very temporary website is www.mijasbowls.org if you want to see this in action, assuming you have Firefox with the Skype extension.
    As you will see, I am not a professional, just got given the job of building the club website. I am working on a proper one but this is there to keep the troops happy.
    Cheers, Colin

    Hi Colin
    Just make the phone number a graphic.
    That will mean that it isn't text, so the Skype plug-in will not parse it and recognise it as a phone number (in theory, at least, as I don't have the Skype plug-in!)
    Don't forget to also put the phone number in the image's ALT attribute.
    Hope that helps

  • LXDM/LightDM in container: 'Seat has no VTs but VT number not 0' error

    I'm trying to run an x11 server in a container, using x11vnc to access it. OS container has obviously no GPU (the goal is NOT to passthrough any hardware).
    I manage to launch the Display Manager (I tried with both LXDM and LightDM) and then login successfully to a lxde session.
    However each time I get the following message in journalctl "pam_systemd(...): Failed to create session: Seat has no VTs but VT number not 0".
    Then loginctl list-sessions is missing the new session, and also lxpolkit complains with a "No session for pid ***" error window.
    My feeling is that this is related to container having no gpu hence no "real" seat but I was unable to find a solution despite multiple attempts...
    I tried both LXDM and LightDM and got same problem.
    LXDM conf is the standard one except the following line :
    [server]
    arg=/usr/bin/Xorg -noreset +extension GLX +extension RANDR +extension RENDER -config /etc/lxdm/xdummy.conf
    and then LXDM LoginReady script has
    /usr/bin/x11vnc -xkb -auth /var/run/lxdm/lxdm-\:0.auth -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -forever -bg -rfbport 5900 -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -display :0

    Norman-
    All outawater suggested is that you lop out the code that you are using
    for playing sounds and make sure that works, since that seems to be
    where your problem is. The rest of your (copious amounts of) applet-
    based code is just a distraction at this point.
    No, I have no clues as to your possible error. Though the first step that I would take, if this were my code, would be to isolate the part
    that's giving me troubles and get it as simple as possible - i.e. make
    sure I can write a console app that plays the midi file I want. Then I
    would build up from there - i.e. dump that into an applet with one
    button that does that.
    Good luck to you

  • IMessage on iPad Mini. One has iPhone number, one does not??

    OK, so we bought two iPad Mini's and we both have iPhone 4S. iMessage is supposed to send msg's between the devices, correct? Well, when I set-up mine, I did not have the option to include my phone number when I used my Apple ID (yes, the number is in the settings for my Apple ID). When my wife set her's up, it did give her the option of using the phone number associated with her Apple ID. As a result, messages get sent to both her devices, but not to mine, unless only the email associated with the Apple ID is used.
    You can clearly see by the two pictures the differences I described above (minus the specific ID information).
    My Question: How do I get my phone number onto my iPad Mini?

    Update ipad mini 3 ios 8.2 on itunes - windows 7, got error code 0xE800001C, plz help me...And i want to use my second phone number (not the same number as my iphone5s..) to use it as the numbers in iMessage for this ipad mini 3...is it possible?

  • Lightroom Bug: with GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile, crop settings do not sync properly in Lightroom 5.7.1 when Constrain To Warp is checked

    I was having a bit of difficultly in getting crop settings to properly sync in Lightroom 5.7.1 (running on OS X 10.10.1) when Constrain to Warp was checked.  This appears to be a bug in the latest version(s) of Lightroom that include(s) the GoPro Hero4 Silver Lens Profile settings.  I'm working with a lot of files from a GoPro Hero4 Silver camera shot in the time-lapse / interval timer mode.  All of them are horizontal with the same resolution (and dimensions).  I've tried various sequences to get this to work in terms of using Auto-Sync, resetting the settings on all images except one and then copy and pasting settings, etc, though the crop is not properly syncing regardless of what I do.
    Here's are instructions of how to duplicate this issue (there are some extra details/steps here, though this should be clear enough to produce the same result):
         1.  in the Develop settings for a single selected image, go to Lens Corrections, click to Enable Profile Corrections (in the Profile tab), and then pick the GoPro Hero4 Silver Edition (Adobe Profile) if it is not automatically chosen for you (if you are using files from a Hero4 Silver camera).  After this, click on the Manual tab, and set the Scale setting to 76.  (as you will see, you now have the full horizontal width of the image that was getting cropped off, though you do see white around the edges that have been warped/shaped to correct the fisheye distortion)
         2.  Press the R key (or click on the Crop Overlay tool just below the histogram).  Change the Aspect option to Custom.  Click to unlock the lock next to it (this seems to re-lock after setting to custom even if it was locked before).  Place a checkmark next to the Constrain To Warp option.  (At this point, you'll see the image gets cropped back to an approximately 4:3 ratio and the full horizontal width is not included in the cropped area)  Click the upper right most corner of the crop area and drag as much to the right and top as it lets you go.  Do the same for the lower left corner, dragging it as far to the bottom left as you can go.  (Now, you will see that your cropped area is the maximum rectangular width and height you can select without getting any of the excessive white area)  Click the Close button (or press R again) to leave the crop overlay tool.
         3.  Press G to go back to the grid of images.  Make sure the image you just adjusted the settings for is the only one selected.  Right click on it, go to Develop Settings, and click Copy Settings.  Click Check All on the window that appears and then click Copy.
         4.  De-select the image you were working on.  Select multiple other images in the grid.  Right click on one of these, go to Develop Settings, and click Paste Settings.  (at this point, you will see their aspect ratio has become more panoramic than the 4:3 aspect ratio the images previously were)
         5.  De-select these images.  Select one of these image, and then press D to go to the Develop settings for this image.  Press R to go to the Crop Overlay tool.  Here you will see the bug where the crop was not properly copied over from the first image.  The selected area is smaller than the full width and height available to crop.
    It seems that the bug is that Lightroom is only copying the aspect ratio (and the other settings), but not the actual crop selection.
    I just thought of a workaround that I've tested and can confirm works (and will also work in a slightly different workflow than above).  In step 1 above, for the Model (and Profile), manually pick the "GoPro Hero4 Black Edition" or the "GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition".  If using the "Hero3-Silver" setting, the Scale (also in step 1 above) need only be set to 79 (rather than 76 for the Hero4 profiles).  By picking one of these Lens Profiles and doing everything else the same as the other steps above, the crop settings do copy and paste properly.  This does also appear to work properly when selecting the "GoPro Hero3-White Edition" Lens Profile, with a Scale setting of 75, which yields a slightly more rectilinear image (with a wider aspect ratio -- almost, but not quite 16:9).
    While this isn't too big of deal as it does work by picking one of the other lens profiles (and the Hero4 Black Edition profile appears to make the same exact correction to the image), this was incredibly frustrating last night to notice that some files had the proper horizontal field of view / crop and others didn't, and other users may experience this or not even notice their crop is not copied properly (as, depending on one's composition and image, it's not extremely obvious with such a wide view).
    I hope this discovery helps someone else and provides feedback for Adobe to correct this issue in the next version of Lightroom 5.
    On a separate, additional note for Adobe:  Please allow the crop overlay tool to "crop" an image to a size that is larger than the original dimensions of the image.  This would allow for one to retain maximum original sharpness in the center of the image when using the Lens Profile tool to correct, or "de-fish" a lens, without having to scale the image down with the Scale option on the Manual tab of the Lens Corrections settings.  For example, when I do the above process selecting the Hero3-White Edition profile, my final image dimensions are 3840 by 2257 pixels, reducing the size of the image in the center by 25%.  If the tool allowed one to crop/scale a larger image size, and I kept the Scale option of the Lens Corrections settings at 100 rather than 75, my final image dimensions would be 5120 by 3009 pixels (larger than the 4000 by 3000 pixel dimensions of the original image which the tool now limits me to).  Yes, the edges would be a little softer but the center would retain the original detail.  (this is essentially what the Calculate Optimal Size button found in the Hugin open source software does, when using it on a single image for lens transformations/corrections)

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?
