Skype suddenly stopped working last weekend

Last weekend Skype, which I have been using with great pleasure for many years, suddenly became unusable. On Friday night the call suddenly cut out. All attempts thereafter to restablish the call, either by me or by my son in the UK (or indeed by Skype) were in vain. A call might be established for 1 second - then it cut.
My son in the UK had no problem connecting with his other friends. I could not even establish a connection with the Echo/Sound Test service (the log says no answer!) - so it was an issue local to m e (I live in deepest SW France).
Computers (both ends) were restarted - no difference. So I checked with my provider (Orange) - noithing wrong with my line. And we proved this because we had to go on to Google Hangout, a rather inferior product, to resume communication.
Today I just checked my Skype. I can talk to the Sound Test service. Whoopee! So what went wrong last weekend?

How does one reset skype setting? I have a similar problem, however my problem is when skype starts I see where I can type in my skype name and password, and when I click on the box to type in any of them it doesn't allow me to. I have re-installed skype over and over again to no avail.
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.

StorEdge T3 NTP sync stopped working last weekend (Aug 23 2008)

We have 3 T3B's, two running 3.1.4 firmware and one running 3.2.2.
All 3 stopped sync'ing with their NTP server last Saturday (Aug 23 2008).
I've just upgraded the 3.2.2 one to 3.2.6 and found that it won't sync either.
I've checked the NTP servers involved; they're fine. I've also pointed one
T3 to another NTP server and tcpdump shows it not making any NTP queries.
'ntp stats' comes back with 'No Status yet' after 24 hours of running.
The older firmware T3's show no successful sync since last Saturday.
Our network management picked this up when clock drift of the
T3's started occuring on Saturday, and now 2 of them are upto 10
seconds out of sync.
I gather this is a bug triggered by time crossing some value...
We've not had this problem in the several years we've had these T3's.
Anybody else seeing this?

As strange as the problem started, it also stopped on all 3 T3's at around Sep 6 06:50 UTC (or within 5 mins of this).
Now all 3 are in sync again, after getting upto 60s out of drift.
Prior, I ran tcpdump for several days watching for NTP requests from one of the T3's; there were none.
Now its polling normally (every couple of minutes; I had interval set to 1 on this box).
So they were not doing NTP requests from Aug 23 22:52 approx to Sep 6 06:50, almost exactly 14 days.
Very strange.

The sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

the sound on my ipad 3 suddenly stopped working i dont know why i tried the last two days to fix it and also restored it and the sound never came back, please help.....

Do you get sound on any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not others ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

> webcam appears in the device manager
Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
All Programs -> Toshiba
There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

Skype has stopped working message on Android Table

I have the RealPad with Ardriod 4.4.2 version OS. I got the above message this morning when I tried to use Skype. I did an uninstall and re-install from Google Play Store and still recieve the same message that Skype has stopped working. Is there an issue with Android devices. I have contacted RealPad and they have recieved at least 2 other phone calls about this problem as of 7:00 AM MST. Please advise.

ISight suddenly stopped working

My iSight suddenly stopped working in the middle of a Skype connection. It had been working correctly: my contact heard me and saw my image. Then, the sound suddenly was lost, and after that the image. The green light on the iSight went off. If I plug the firewire cable into another port, the light comes on for a few seconds, then goes off. The iSight is identified in About This Mac. I took the iSight to the local Genius Bar, and it worked perfectly on 2 other Mac's. I was advised to re-install the OS with archive, but isn't there anything more simple?

Hello George,
... isn't there anything more simple?
Here are some things you can try.
(1) If you used your own iSight's cable when you tested your iSight at the Genius Bar, you know neither the cable nor your iSight is the problem.
You can test your iSight with other applications to determine whether you have problems with more than one. Also, consider the link there to Apple's "iSight: How to Troubleshoot" suggestions.
(2) If your only problem is with Skype, consider reinstalling Skype or check out Skype's great Help section. Skype even hosts its own discussion forums dedicated to Skype specific issues.
(3) If your iSight has problems with more than one application, consider whether your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date. Maintenance is the first thing I check when I begin to experience minor problems or system slowdown.
(4) If your problem persists although your OS X Maintenance is current, download and apply this Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update (PPC). Finish with another Permissions Repair and check your iSight again.
Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
The Combo Updater will be much simpler than an A&I reinstall.

Mic suddenly stopped working

Okay so. I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force X12 headset which has been working great since I got it a couple months ago, well today it suddenly stopped working skype says my mic is muted and it's not, I can hear myself through the headset which means it's on and at least working but apperently it's my computer that's not picking it up and I have no idea what it possibly could be, I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Also skype kept moving the mic volume thing all the way down but I don't know if that's related at all.

When I make a call my mic doesn't work. Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing problems. Skype is slow and often won't even hook up. Tried my wifes mac with same result, my blackberry phone same result. I've become aware of how dependend on SKYPE i am.

Emulator suddenly stopped working

Hi,
recently I have encountered problem with emulator suddenly stopped working. I am using linux (Mandriva 2009.1), WTK 2.5.2_01 and Eclipse 3.5. The only thing I am getting is message "Running with storage root ~/j2mewtk/2.5.2/appdb/temp.DefaultColorPhone", the emulator screen appears and immediately whole application is exited. No additional errors using eiter eclipse with MTJ, or running from console via ktoolbar or direcly running emulator. But if I start eclipse as root (same workspace) or run commands from console (same WTK intallation directory), emulator works. So there have to be some problems with permissions (/dev/* or something else?), but I do not know which since there is no error message.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
thanks for suggestion, but as I stated in first post, there is no error message anywhere to be found. Emulator window appears, immediately closes and console process stops without any message. But now I am sure it is something with kernel (and related packages and scripts) updates. I did not have much time for programming, so I did not launch Eclipse since my last post (so any configuration absolutely did not change). Few days ago there was kernel security update for my Mandriva, so I tested workspace and emulator does not work again (but works with root permissions).

[SOLVED] Thinkpad Fn keys suddenly stopped working

I'm on ThinkPad Edge 14. For some reason(s) unknown, my Fn keys stopped working after I restarted Arch a few hours ago.
I've checked the BIOS, everything is fine (no settings unchanged). I tried checking if X (I'm on Gnome 3) can still detect the keys using xev (as outlined here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … oard_Keys) and the Fn key is detected as "XF86WakeUp" witht the keycode "151", so at least nothing is wrong with the actual physical button.
What's more weird is that, I tried booting from another Hard Drive into Ubuntu, and the Fn key also didn't work (it has worked fine previously). What could be causing this?
EDIT: Even weirder, Fn keys aren't working in Windows as well (I dual boot). BIOS's still unchanged, and this started happening when I was working with Arch, so I'm quite sure this can be fixed through Arch. Problem is, I don't know where to start. How can Arch affect Ubuntu & Windows when I didn't change BIOS?

I found out the problem!
I tried checking the Lenovo forums about the problem and found this: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Ed … d-p/323077
Apparently, it's possible that the Fn keys suddenly stopped working for no clear reason. In my case, it happened when I was on Arch, so I thought the problem was with Arch. Anyway, I updated the BIOS from Lenovo's site and everything's working fine now.
Thanks!

Spry widgets js suddenly stopped working

A Website I designed using Dreamweaver 5.5 and spry tabbed panel widget suddenly stopped working; I have made no updates to this page, and have not made any updates to spry menus, css or widgets. I did add google analytics, but that was over a year ago; this problem just started yesterday. Two pages are in question: http://www.livingthinwithin.net/about.html and http://www.livingthinwithin.net/clients.html. Thank you for any assistance; I have searched various forums and have not found any solution (this is the first time I've not been able to resolve a problem using the question threads of others. thank you, blake
ps..this is my first post, and I am so open to learning how to post appropriately.

Adobe abandoned the Spry framework last year. If your site, or someone else's site that you linked to, was deriving scripts from Adobe's Spry Labs server, those files are gone. You can read more about it below.
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l
If you want to keep using Spry, you must retrieve the scripts from GitHub and upload to your server. Otherwise, switch to another framework like jQuery.

TS1702 My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.
