Skype takes advance of old guy

Help anyone please.  Skype has taken $ 14 from my checking account twice.  They want to know when I first subscribed, but I'm an old guy and can't figure out how they took my money in the first place nor  WHEN this all started.  They have no phone number to call.  I would really like my $ 28 back, but they are stone-walling me.=== Tom

1. Why didn't I get a CD (loaded w/the software) and how do I get one so I don't have to wait almost 14 hours on this %#@$ dial-up service?
iPods haven't come with CDs for a over a year. It enable Apple to use smaller, more eco-friendly packaging. Also, the software is updated often enough that you were likely to get outdated software anyway.
2. I can't click and drag songs to the iPod can I?
Well, you could but the tracks would just be so much data (think thumb drive) and not playable music.
3. Can I play MP3 formated songs on the iPod, or do they have to be iTunes?
3A. If no to the MP3 files, can I convert them?
Yes, iPods play mp3s. There is no such thing as "iTunes" format. The iTunes Store uses .aac. And yes, if you wanted to convert your mp3s to .aac you could but there would be no point.
4. My daughter has DSL - I'm assuming she could downlaod the software and burn a CD for me, would that be a fair statement? (She's 70 miles away.)
Yes, this should work. Or, if you have an Apple Store near by, they might be willing to burn a copy for you. It certainly never hurts to ask.
5. Doing the download at work is no longer an option - I retired last Friday - and want to start walking - so I need my "little tiny" iPod to work.
Enjoy your retirement. iPods certainly make exercise more enjoyable.

  • How old guys have fun

    OK, this topic ought to be broad enough, and some of the folks around here, old enough, that this one could carry on a while. Just tell us how you have fun!
    I'll start...
    My wife and I flew down to Southern California for the day yesterday. The focus of the trip was to meet my niece's new son, the first boy born in our family in 42 years. Of course I wanted to play with his big sister too, because we would not want her to feel left out. And I wanted to get lots of pictures.
    I didn't get most of the ones I really wanted - but shooting children is every bit as difficult as I was warned it would be. One mistake is that I waited until the little boy was too awake to get the peaceful shots of him and his father. Oh well, next time. So, while the 800 shots I did take, and a few videos, are being copied over to my hard drive, and being backed up to an external drive, I thought I would share these two pics that were taken by my niece.
    This, my friends, is one way that an old guy has fun.

    Oh, Steven ... that's the best way an old guy like us can have fun! LOVE the little ones ... holding one while sleeping is such an amazing high. The missus is a fantastic portraitist  for little ones & children/families ... putting a client's unhappy little one to sleep while they're ordering images with the missus has been a blast for me at times too. When the babe starts crying during an ordering session and they think they've got to leave, I just tell 'em give the tyke to me ... get a weird look but they normally do hand me the babe ... and in five/ten minutes there's a sleeping child in my arms when I come back and they wonder what in the world I've done with their child. As ... they can't do that like that.
    Well ... somehow I attune to little babie's thoughts and ideas better than adults, I think. I've been to quite a few events at church or pro photo confabs with someone having a tuckered & sleep-fighting little one that other folks just say "give that babe to Neil!" ... and ... voila ... I've got a sleepy babe in arms, and no interest whatever in giving it back 'til mom/dad need to leave.
    No grandkids ... so I love up all our younger friend's little ones any time I can. What a joy ...

  • Skype takes forever to login

    hi guys,Skype takes forever to login. I searched on google to find a solution and on this forums and they all said something about antivirus blocking it. But I've already made an exception in my antivirus software settings. I have no idea why isn't it still not working. Anyone please help!

    That is correct. IE11 doesn't seem to open properly. I don't get any error messages but the main content area is totally white and the url input is disabled. Also, many of the menu options, such as "Internet Options" are disabled.
    Also, opening IE11 will also result in a system event error regarding the webcachelocal log file that I mentioned earlier. 
    OK, I have removed IE11, rebooted and then performed a Windows Update. I checked the option to install Internet Explorer 11 and proceeded with the update. The update appears to have failed with a code 9C59. After a reboot, I tried opening IE again and got the same white background. This time, however, IE disappears without any visible error messages.
    I forgot to mention that there are acutally two errors logged in system events each time that IE is launched (I only mentioned one earlier because it seemed more relevant to the issue):
    taskhost (2200) WebCacheLocal: Unable to create a new logfile because the database cannot write to the log drive. The drive may be read-only, out of disk space, misconfigured, or corrupted. Error -1032.

    Hello,
    the way is written there Activation & deactivation help >>> (see there only to understand the procedure) Common activation problems >>> "Activation limit reached for [product]. This serial number has already been activated on 2 computers." "Maximum activations exceeded."
    >>> How to deactivate or sign out >>> A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
    If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.

  • 1 month ago I changed batteries to my keyboard.yesterday appeard msg for low battery again. I try to take of the old ones but I realized that there was battery liquid dry in there. Now my keyboard is dead... Do anyone knows what to do... I need a new ?

    1 month ago I changed batteries to my keyboard.yesterday appeard msg for low battery again. I try to take of the old ones but I realized that there was battery liquid dry in there. Now my keyboard is dead... Do anyone knows what to do... I need a new ?

    If your batteries leaked and possibly eroded teh contacts the best you can do it to attempt to remove all the fluid and clean the contacts. If the keyboard still does not work after a thorough cleaning yes it will need to be replaced. A new wireless keyboard is about $59 from OWC or you may want to look online for a used one, sometimes OWC (www.macsales.com) has them used. Other sources are Apple of course, Amazon, and any Apple reseller.

  • How do i take apart an old Studio Display?

    So, my girlfriend and I saw this article where someone has taken apart an old Apple Studio Display and turned it into a groovy little cat bed:
    http://www.bitrebels.com/geek/the-mac-apple-studio-display-cat-bed-mod/
    The problem though is that I can't find any instructions online as to how to properly take apart one of these displays, and neither of us really has a clue on how to start or what we're getting into should we decide to do this to our old one that's just taking up space in the basement.
    Anyone have any links to detailed instructions, or feel like offering up any advice? Thanks!

  • HOW DO I TAKE OFF MY OLD APPLE ID AND PUT A NEW APPLE ID?

    how to i take my old email address off my account without deleting everything

    Carl is correct above, but before you do that make sure you sign out of iCloud on your iPhone 5s and other iOS devices you have if Find my iPhone is activated.  Otherwise you won't be able to sign out after you've changed the email address.

    Hi,
    There are a number of cards and devices that will do what you want.
    If you want to store and play, from your hard drive, your own DVDs, check out Flip4Mac .
    There's also Twonky Vision server software here ,
    and Philip's Media Manager here .
    Here are some reviews of various TV tuner cards for Macs.
    Once you have a TV tuner card, you can of course also write your own Cocoa app to grap video from the card and display it via QuickTime. Here's an ADC link to some sample code Apple has provided.
    Good luck!

  • Advice From An Old Guy

    Times change, moderators come and go. Here is some advice from an old timer to any new moderators, and those that may desire to be one in the future. I was never an official full fledged moderator here at this forum or at others. Be that as it may, there are in my opinion, 3 'basic' elements to make a good moderator 'tech' wise, as I won't discuss the other factors such as maturity level and that kind of thing. Those 3 elements are;
    #1 - Experience with the brand products, experience with other brands can also be helpful.
    #2 - Product research, research, and continued research. Tech is a continuous conveyor belt on the move and changing all the time.
    #3 - Sharing the experience and knowledge learned.
    Additional advice, download the product pdf manuals, quick guides, etc.. and study them! Using Intel based as an example, start with the MSI 6 series boards, i.e. P6N Platinum SLI, P6N Diamond, then move to P45 Platinum, X58's, P67's, Z68's, and so forth. Same for graphics cards, etc.. Create an easy to use comprehensive set of categorized library files for yourself. Again, using Intel as an example, download their current product datasheets and Thermal and Design Guides on both CPU 'and' chipsets. Get a copy of the current JEDEC sheets concerning RAM industry specifications. Experience and shared knowledge, of which there is not a substitute for.
     

    Yes, as a matter of fact, I 'am' trying to 'guide' you into being a better moderator. Speaking SATA III vocally is different than in print is it not? It is not an apples to apples comparison. You are held to a higher standard, and 'printed' SATA3 is 'not' right 'technically when discussing SATA other than a SATA port, but SATA 3 is at least 'somewhat' better acceptable than SATA3. MSI uses SATA 3 in the BBX II I am using at the moment in the BIOS, and it is technically incorrect. We could also debate IDE nomenclature, SATA, PATA, flat cable, etc., and what it all means. 'IDE' Mode when running a SATA drive? It can get confusing to some people. That is why the more correct the nomenclature is written, the easier to understand what a person is really trying to convey. 
    In the future? I don't actively contribute in the regular threads anymore, only active here in AUTS once in awhile, so my comments are going to be done in here, and it was applicable to 'this' thread. The whole purpose of this thread was actually drafted for your benefit, if you hadn't figure that out already. 
     

  • Where do my subscriptions go? Skype takes my money...

    I have a subscription to Yemen but all of a sudden I can't use it even though I haven't used even half of the 120 minutes nor did the 30 day period passed. So I created another account and purchased a new subscription, yet I still can't use it. Every time I try to make a call it asks me to but more skype credit or get a new subscription. When I go to check the purchase history, it does not show the transaction even though skype sent me an email confirming the transaction!
    I feel I'm getting ripped off here!

  • Skype won't show old messages

    Recently I got a new computer. At first there were no problems, but today I noticed that Skype wouldn't let me access messages older than a week for most of my contacts. For the ones where option to go back further than seven days is available, it says the earliest message is in June 2003 (I didn't even have skype back then) and it actually only goes back to January 11th of this year. Everyone else it won't let me go farther than a week. I am also certain that this is a new development - I know that when I first used Skype on this computer it let me view my full conversation history. And there's important information buried in those logs so I'd kind of like to be able to **bleep**ing access them.
    Running Windows 8 and Skype 6.21.0.104 (I was running the latest version but downgraded in an attempt to fix this problem and also because I really dislike the newest skype anyway)

    Have you checked your computer's clock time? Has it been wrong in the past?

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    * Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
    * Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    * Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
    * Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
