Skype status is always available on windows, even ...

skype status is always available on windows, even after logging out. how to fix that?

Alright, so if you have tried the previous steps and it did not work, then let's try something else.
Do you have another account? If so: Sign into the other account and add yourself. Sign back into your own account and add your other account. Sign off your main account and sign onto your other account and check your online status. If you are still online, you may have followed the previous step improperly or someone may have hijacked your account via the P2P version of Skype (which you should change your password right away so that the other user will be logged out.)
That being said, you can also have a friend or family member who has you on their contact list call you to determine if the account rings after you knowingly disconnected everywhere. If it rings, someone running under the older protocol of Skype may be utilising your account without your notice (or your account has been hijacked.)
If, in any situation, you choose to call your own account after you're knowingly offline and someone you do not know answers your call, do not attempt to acquaint with the hijacker or unknown person on your own as it may not be the best course of action to take for recovering your account. Do not interact with those you do not know and simply hang up right away if you do not feel comfortable speaking with the unknown person.
So let me run down the steps for you:
Check what others see of you.
If others still see you online and you followed the previous post completely and it still occurs, change your password immediately. Someone could be using Skype's older protocol to get into your account. Changing your password will sign them off.
Should you choose to, you can have someone call the always available account and observe the response. If someone responds and you do not know them, do not attempt to get acquainted with them.
Hopefully, this time around, this solution should help you. I know it sounds complex, but if you're saying you've tried absolutely everything else, then maybe getting creative should be pretty interesting enough to work.

How can I add a link to an item within a workflow email - which will always find the item - even if it's status has changed?

I've used the method within the SharePoint designer to add a link to the workflow context current item URL, but when the current item status changes then obviously this link will no longer work.
How can I change this link so that it will always open the item, even if someone has changed it within the list, before I clink on the link?
This is an important one as over 300 people will use the list and many of these will be emails about items on the list will be in different time zones. I don't want to have lots of mails from people saying "this list doesn't work" as it's
critical they keep using it.
Please help.
P.S. I don't know if the <href> method will work, so if someone can confirm to me then that would be great.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that add a link to an item within a workflow email.
I’ m not very clear about the status you said. Please descript more detail which URL do you want to display.
Per my knowedge, you can display the following url in your email body:
[%Workflow Context: Current Item URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Current Site URL%]
[%Workflow Context: Workflow Status URL%]
[%Current Item: Encoded Absolute URL%]
Please start the workflow automatically when an item is changed and changed.
No matter how you edit the item or update the approve status, the URLs remains the same.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

SABA LMS Completion Status is always "Successful" -- even if quiz skipped

For a course I'm creating, the SABA LMS Completion Status is always “Successful” even if just 1 slide of the Scorm 1.2 compliant Adobe Presenter course is viewed – doesn’t even need to get into quiz.
A failing grade is also always "Successful". How to get an "Unsuccessful" for skipping the quiz and/or failing the quiz?
Settings:
Reporting - Quiz Manager:
Enable reporting for this project -- checked
Learning Managemenet System (LMS) -- Scorm
Choose Report Data -- Report Quiz results only
Report Pass or Fail -- Report Pass/Fail (should this be Report staus as defined by report data?)
Report Score to LMS as: Percent
Reporting Level -- Report interactions and the score

I have Presenter courses working properly in Saba. Sometimes the issue is your Offering or Content settings in Saba. Could be a combo of having Is Scoring checked and having a Mastery Score set on Course or Offering level.
When you dig down into the Activity History for that transcript completion, what status is listed on the module level? Saba will roll up to a status of Successful/Unsuccessful/Not Evaluated depending on how you have it setup. What Status is your content actually passing back: Completed, Incomplete, Passed, Failed?
Good Luck!

Skype update available in Windows Store

There is a Skype update available in Windows Store now. I have decided to not update it yet, I have automatic updates disabled. I suspect this update contains the "July 7 time bomb" so I will wait for reviews first. I have also made backup of WindowsApps folder where current Skype version 3.1.0.1007 resides.
It is sad we have to "fight" with Microsoft to try to keep the Skype application work

Same here. I wonder if Windows RT users have received the update.

Why skype is not available for windows phone 7.8 e...

Hi Team,
Why skype is not available for windows phone 7.8, earlier it was there in wp 7.8 market place... Please bring it back for WP 7.8

Yet more shoddy treatment of those who bought in to win phone 7. Makes me feel foolish for recommending windows phone to friends and colleagues. "We want everyone to experience the best Skype has to offer" and your way of doing this is to take it away!
My next phone is unlikely to be a win phone 8, and I'll look at alternatives to skype.

How can I make the status bar always visible in safari?

How can I make the status bar always visible in safari? Even when I go to "View" and then select "show status bar," the status bar still disappears unless my cursor is hovering over it. I want to be able to see the time, battery life etc. while surfing the web in safari!

When Safari is in FullScreen mode, menu bar will be hidden.
Safari window to fit the screen?
Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Double arrows will appear. Drag it to resize the window to fit the screen.

ARD 3.2.2 - Current Status - Screen Sharing Available

Hello,
like several other users i do have a problem with some of our mac client computers in ARD 3.2.2
Usually those Macs do display a Current Status in ARD like:
Idle (time)
or
Available
which we would call an expected state.
Unfortunally some macs tend to show another status:
"Screen Sharing Available".
This other status results in: a working screen sharing in ARD
BUT other tasks like i.e. UNIX Commands send from ARD to this hosts just dont work as ARD end in the following error message:
The Remote Desktop Client software is not active on HOSTNAME
So as a quick test i ssh'ed into 2 macs, one of those was affected by the problem. Comparing the output of
ls -la | grep Remote
and the result is totally same.
So both macs showed me:
AppleVNServer
ARDHelper
ARDAgent
Then i checked the firewalls on those macs and each firewall has the default ports 5900 & 3283.
The only problem here is that i cant define UDP or TCP on 10.3.9 Macs.
The macs do run Mac OS X versions from 10.3.9 up to 10.5.6
Sometimes a simple reboot fixes the "Screen Sharing Available" issue.
Right now i am wondering how to fix this issue as some threads do suggest re-checking firewall settings ( which i did ) others suggest using a local administrator insteed of the admins name in Sharing.
Right now none of those hints worked for me and i am wondering if this is a known bug and if there is a known solution.
any help is appreciated
Best regards
fidel

I have been experiencing the same problem now for months -- various Macs on my network that I control/administer with ARD 3.2.2 intermittently displaying a status of "Screen Sharing Available".
After reading through this thread, I started poking around in System Preferences on my client Mac (from which I control/administer the others), and I appear to have fixed my problem! I have no idea if this will help anyone else, but here's what I did:
In the "Security" preference pane of "System Preferences", I clicked on the "Firewall" tab. The ensuing window contains a list of applications, each followed by a pop-up menu containing two options: "Block incoming connections" and "Allow incoming connections"
Sure enough, "ARDAgent" was in the list of apps and sure enough, it's setting was "Block incoming connections". I changed this setting to "Allow incoming connections", switched back Apple Remote Desktop, and hit Command-Y to refresh the listing of ARD computers on my network (I did not even quit and re-launch ARD). The list was immediately updated, and ALL of ones that had been showing "Screen Sharing Available" in the "Current Status" column switched to "Available" or "Idle (time)" and their icons switched from pale blue to the normal, darker blue.
Problem solved (at least for now)! Will report back any changes/updates.
Additional information, for those that are interested:
I have 12 Macs on my office LAN that I control remotely from the iMac on my desk (same office, same subnet). All are running ARD 3.2.2.
The iMac on my desk is currently running Mac OS X 10.5.6. It is a first-get Intel iMac.
The 12 Macs on the network are running various versions of OS X from 10.3.9 to 10.5.6. All but one are older PPC Macs; one is a newer, aluminum Intel iMac. As of this morning, all three that are running Leopard were working correctly with ARD, while the results were mixed with the others running both Tiger and Panther. From this, I can only conclude the OS version on the various server Macs makes no difference with regard to this problem, although it MAY be that those running Leopard are immune. I cannot be sure of that, however.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Skype is very badly Integrated into Windows phone 8.1 if you run Skype in background you appear offline.. as well as your always shown offline. in general. even though people can text and call you.

Hi,
how about stopping the snom from reporting its status as "AWAY"? Please note it must report "AWAY" per default after a certain
time of inactivity, but you can change this.
Please review:
http://wiki.snom.com/Settings/away_timeout and
http://wiki.snom.com/wiki/index.php/Settings/inactive_timeout
You will find both settings in the snom phone webinterface under PREFERENCES / Status
Show status inactive after this many minutes (0 = never):
Show status away after this many minutes (0 = never):
Feel free to change both values e.g. to 0 and see if it fits your need.
Thanks and greetings from Berlin,

Jabber User Always Available

We have a weird situation where one Jabber user is always Available, even when they are logged out. We are running CUPS version 8.6.4.10000-28 and when the user logs out the CUPS server shows them as logged out.
The user has 3 devices attached to them, a 7942 phone, a Softphone and an Extension Mobility profile. We've made sure to log him out of Extension moblity, softphone and physical phone but he still shows as available.
Any help is appreciated.

We had the same problem too. We are using CUCM 8.6.2.24901-1 with CUPS 8.6.5.13900-2 and Jabber for Windows 9.7.2 Build 18938.
What seems to help was to reassign the license capabilities for the user under CUCM / System / Licensing / Capabilities Assignment. After disabling both licenses for "Enable CUP" and "Enable CUPC" and saving, then activating both again, saving and restarting Cisco Tftp Service (CUCM / Cisco Unified Serviceability / Tools / Control Center - Feature Services) the user doesn't come back as "available" user.
Maybe this workaround could be the solution for that problem.

Tripadvisor opens a window even though option to open tabs is set

I have the option set to open links in a new tab rather than a new window. This seems to work perfectly except in one situation. Tripadvisor will often open a new window about 'other suitable hotels', always hidden behind the other windows, the only indication being the icon on the task bar. This window opens of its own accord, not directly due to my actions, at least not because I have clicked a link. If I don't spot the task bar icon and close the main Firefox window first then the Tripadvisor window becomes the default and loads at the next startup. Thankfully I can find all my other tabs under recently closed windows, but it's a hassle.
How does Tripadvisor cause this to happen, in contradiction to the options, and when everything else seems to follow the setting? Is it because it 'opens itself'? Can it be stopped?

By default, Firefox diverts most links that open in new windows, and automatic pop-up windows, to a new tab. However, if the pop-up specifies its size or modifies what toolbars are displayed, Firefox defers to the site so that in case it's a dialog related to the page, it will display as intended.
You can force Firefox to treat ALL pop-up windows the same, whether they have these special feature or not. Doing that requires a visit to the about:config preferences editor. Apologies for what will seem like excess detail, but there are 3 related settings so I want to list them together.
In a new tab, type or paste about:config and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste link.o and pause while the list is filtered.
Double click these to modify the values as desired (especially the second one):
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow
'''3 = divert new window to a new tab''' (default) (checked*) 
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*) 
1 = force new window into same tab
* First checkbox in Options > Tabs
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows) 
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default) 
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) 
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window 
2 = open external links in a new window 
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Can you tame those popups?

Skype has stopped working - message on windows 8.1...

This error message comes out everytime I start the desktop version...
The app from windows store though works , but I do not enjoy using it at all... the desktop client was always far better.
The problem rose when I upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1 , and since then the desktop client is always forced to close with a message that it has stopped working.
I did a few things that I found reading through posts where people were looking for help with their skype issues:
uprgraded my graphics card
disabled my integrated webcamera
uninstalled java
installed older skype versions
tried to rename the roaming skype directory to old_skype
disabled automatic updates
but... once again i'm helpless, and it seems that none of those solutions I found is at least a bit helpful for me...
I'm pretty much desperate ( I apologize if I did write my post into the wrong place)
hope someone can help me
Solved!

Window.open() will open separated windows even using the same window name?

Hi, I have below two test html pages as below(could not find a way to insert a attachment, so paste the content below). The reproduce step is as below: (My environment is Win8.1 with IE11)
1. Open print_test.html page in IE, here we call page1.
2. Click "File -> New Session" menu from IE menu bar, which will open another new IE window which display another " print_test.html" page, here we call page 2.
3. Click "Print" hyper-link in page1, and a popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 3.
4. Click "Print" hyper-link in page2, and another popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 4.
However, the behavior above is totally different on my Win7 (64 bit) with IE 10, which is in step 4, when I click "Print" hyper-link in page2, instead of open a new popup window, the window for page 3 will be reused and counting will restart from
1.
I googled and know from MDN for window.open() and get below information to indicate that in my test pages, I use the same window name, so that the existed window with the same name will be reused is as expected, but however, why IE behave differently in
Win8.1 with IE 11? Why the existed window could not be reused anymore?
If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window.
The behavior in Win8.1 + IE 11 is similar with what Google Chrome does, and Chrome's explanation is that two separated window using separated processes which do no share information, so that even using the same window name. twp separated windows will
popup.. So I am confused here, IE 10 and IE 11 are both using multi-process mechanism right? I saw from the Windows Task Manager, when using "File -> New Session" to open another print_test.html page in step 2. both IE 10 and IE 11 are opening
4 iexplore.exe processes, two of them are 64 bit, and two of them are 32 bit. I can't see any configuration difference between these two envs, but why the behavior is so different?
Could anyone give some help and clarify here? Great thanks in advance.
Oh, btw, another colleague can reproduce the issue (open separated windows even using the same window name) in his Win7 64 bit with IE 10 env, but could not reproduce in his Win 32 bit with IE 10 env... Hope this information could also do help.

Hi,
please try in noAddons mode and with the IE Popup blocker turned off. Also ensure you are using the default IE Security zone settings. Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
To debug your scripts in IE11.
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, check "Always record developer console messages".
start your test and display the developer tool console to display suppressed errors and warnings.
(I don't see where myWindow is assigned).
"If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window."
window.open has an optional 'replace' parameter...

to reuses a tab or window
window.open({url},[name],[placement],[replace])
If possible can you please provide a publicly accessible link to your test pages as we need to inspect the response headers to monitor what is cached.
or

ITunes sharing on ipad is not always available.

iTunes sharing on ipad is not always available. I have a windows pc and shared is enabled in iTunes and iPad. All signed. One day I see the share option. Next day, no matter what I do including disabling the firewall, no shared library. Help!
This worked consistently on OS 4.3 but only once in OS 5.0

Click once on the sleep/wake button to ignore the caller and the call will eventually
go to voicemail. Click twice to send the caller directly to email.
