Skype Unlimited - why doesn't it include group vid...

I have had Skype World Unlimited for many years now and I don't understand why it doesn't include Group Video Calling. I already pay more than the Skype Premium subscription on my current subscription, I find it odd that I need to get a Skype Premium subscription on top of my Skype World Unlimited subscription.
Is Group Video Calling likely to be added to Skype World Unlimited at any point?
Also, I notice my subscription no longer exists in the list of Skype subscriptions under the Prices menu.

Oh yes, iMovie can export to all the different QuickTime formats. For compatibility, you may want to try exporting to Sorenson. That's been included in QuickTime for quite some time and should run on most installations that people already have.

Why doesn't Cloud include audiobooks?

I can use Cloud to transfer/download music, iBooks, videos and apps... but not audiobooks... I don't understand why it isn't included? I'm stretched between three computers and I don't always purchase the audiobook from the same one, but I can't upload it to my phone/iPod except through one computer. If Cloud is supposed to fix that issue, why doesn't it include audiobooks?

Perhaps because the copyright owners won't allow it. Really, though, no one on this board can answer that question with certainly because we are all just users like yourself.

Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?

I have noticed this before but now I am wondering: Why doesn't Apple include all iTunes extras with bundle purchases?
I am currently looking at the Buddy Comedy Pack. On this page they say that the following movies have iTunes Extras:
21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, and Step Brothers.
As you scroll down the page it says that if you purchase this bundle, you also receive:
iTunes Extras for: 21 Jump Street, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys
A) Why not include 22 Jump Street's extras with this bundle?
B) The Other Guy's does not have an iTunes extra unless bought through this bundle! (What the heck?!)
Thanks for your help!

Future,
This is a user to user forum. We help other each other if we have problems. We do not work for Apple. If you would like to put a suggestion in or a complaint, use the link on the right hand corner of this page to contact Apple. Good Luck!

Pages Templates - Why doesn't Apple include CD covers and CD labels?

Considering how music oriented Apple is, I'm surprised that Apple hasn't thought of including templates for CD covers and CD labels. This would be exceedingly useful to have!

iTunes itself can print a CD insert with song titles and time. Labels on CDs, in the long run, aren't a good idea. In a slot loading drive they are a disaster waiting to happen and even with a tray loading drive they can cause trouble; over time the glue dries out and the label can begin to peel. If you really want CDs and DVDs labeled, look to LightScribe or printable discs and a printer capable of printing on them. As for CD covers (and other kinds of labels) Avery has a free program that is pretty impressive. Of course, you can always go to the Avery web site and find a Word template which will open right up in Pages and you can have at it.

Why doesn't Apple include server.app with upgrade?

I Received my "free" upgrade for my mac mini server only to realize (after completing the upgrade) that my Lion Server had been DOWNGRADED to a Mountain Lion workstation.
Apple support informed me that the server app was not included in the free upgrade. I feel that they should have at least informed me that I would have to purchase additional software after the "free" upgrade in order to mantain the funcutionality of my server. I had no need to upgrade, the existing software on my server provided everything I needed and worked flawlessly. Now I have the choice of reverting the server back to the old OS and hopefully getting everything working as it was, or pay the $20 ransome and get the server app for Mountain Lion.

My guess is that you clicked the wrong blue button. There were two when I went out to the Up To Date page. One said Mountian Lion, the other said OS X Server. If you had clicked the Server button you would have recieved four emails, the two for Mountian Lion and two more for server. I got my codes this afternoon. Email customer service and tell them what happened. They will probably send you out the extra code and password.

Why doesn't siri include my name in answers

if I ask siri what my name is,,,,,it repeats my name correctly. However siri never includes my name in replies.

LouG wrote:
If I say, "good morning Siri"....the response on the phone screen is "good morning to you too Lou". But the response she gives in audio is "good morning to you too". (Lou is my name).
And it would likely say the same thing if anyone else talked to Siri on your device.

Why Cyprus is not included in "Unlimited Europe" s...

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am user of Skype the last 2 and half years having an "Unlimited Europe" Subscription. 1) Today I discovered that calls to Cyprus are not included in my subscription. I would like to know why you use the name "Unlimited Europe" for the subscription? Do you consider Cyprus as non EU Member State? In any case I consider the name of your product totaly misleading and I would like at least an explanation by yourside for this. When I subscribed I was planing to have unlimited calls to Cyprus also!
2) Why should the customer looking for a form of complain for about 10 minutes? Could you please make an accesible form of complain for your customer? I am looking forward hearing from you.
Kind regards,

I completely agree. Cyprus is and always has been in Europe so the Skye unlimited subscription o Europe should include Cyprus. Indeed, the so called TRNC is also in Europe and is considered by the European Union to be part of Cyprus (although currently illegally occupied). The telephone code should not be what determines geography.
When I spent several months recently in Africa I continued to pay my Skype subscription as I was entirely happy to continue to support Skype although I was very unlikely to be able to take advantage of the service because of poor internet connections. Now that I discover I cannot plan a trip to Cyprus using Skype I think I will be looking at VIBER and at least reducing my Skype subscription.

Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

Hey ran
Sorry to hear you are having probloms
I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
hope this helps

Why doesn't Maven find jfxrt.jar, although it is included in the JDK?

Hi,
Why doesn't Maven find jfxrt.jar, although it is included in the JDK?
My solution to build JavaFX apps with Maven is:
<dependency>
            <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
            <artifactId>javafx</artifactId>
            <version>2.2</version>
            <scope>system</scope>
            <systemPath>${java.home}/lib/jfxrt.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>It works, but I wonder why the Maven build process can't find it automatically, as any other Java dependency, too.
If I build without the dependency, it can't find javafx imports.
Since Java 7 Update 6 it is included in the JDK.

There is a long drawn-out thread on this (you don't need to read it):
Error initializing OC4J server (JDev 10.1.3 EA1) "JDK 7u6 JavaFX integration - Is jfxrt.jar supposed to be on the classpath?"
Short summary is that jfxrt.jar is in the jdk/jre as of 7u6, but not on the default classpath for the jdk/jre (as of 7u13).
This will change in a future release (e.g. I believe the latest early access builds of jdk8 do have jfxrt.jar on the default runtime classpath).
So for now, you will need to explicitly add jfxrt.jar to the classpath. There are various ways to do this, one is to use a system dependency and then use the maven ant run plugin to package your app as is done in this example: http://code.google.com/p/willow-browser/source/browse/pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javafx</groupId>
<artifactId>jfxrt</artifactId>
<version>${javafx.min.version}</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${javafx.runtime.lib.jar}</systemPath>
</dependency>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
      <id>create-launcher-jar</id>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>run</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <target xmlns:fx="javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant">
          <taskdef
              uri="javafx:com.sun.javafx.tools.ant"
              resource="com/sun/javafx/tools/ant/antlib.xml"
              classpath="${javafx.tools.ant.jar}"/>
            <fx:application id="fxApp"
                name="${project.name}"
                mainClass="${exec.mainClass}"/>
            <fx:jar destfile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-launcher">
              <fx:application refid="fxApp"/>
              <fx:fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/classes"/>
            </fx:jar>
            <attachartifact
                file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}-launcher.jar"
                classifier="launcher"/>
        </target>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>
</plugin>Another way would be to make use of the zenjava javafx maven plugin:

Sms-why doesn't Skype respond and fix this?

I am suddenly unable to send sms to any mobile phones. It now says I must verify my phone number. I do not have a mobile phone. How do I continue to send sms from my Skype? From reading other posts I see this has to do with an upgrade-I did not agree to any Skype upgrades, is there a way to downgrade? Why doesn't Skpe address this problem?

Hi this has just happened to me too - yesterday sending sms no problem today it wont soooooo do we have to do the upgrade ???? strange

Why doesn't the Cluster tools suite include HPF?

I would like to ask why doesn't SUN's Cluster tools suite include HPF anymore. Is it because you don't support it any more or something has taken over its place. Thank you for your time.

I am not sure what you are asking. What support did Sun provide
for HPF before?

Why doesn't 'groups' list all the groups I'm in

When I create a new group and add myself to that group as superuser, command 'groups' doesn't list that group among others. It lists just those that I've been initially in (when creating my user via 'adduser'). Example:
# groupadd [group]
# gpasswd -a [user] [group] /OR/ usermod -G [group] [user]
# exit
$ groups
The group and only this group is visible if I do this (besides uid, gid and groups values):
# id [user]

and ...
using the usermod-command, you need the -a option, ie
usermod -a -G {group} {user}
Otherwise you will only have the given {group} in addition to your default group.

What is data roaming? Does it cost extra? Why doesn't my iPhone automati...

What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
+If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+

Maintaining Macs--Why doesn't Apple tell you more?

This is not a problem that I need to solve but just something I've been wondering about. Why doesn't Apple tell people the routines they need to use to maintain their Macs?
If you do a search on "maintenance" in Support the fourth item is Mac Maintenance Quick Assist:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303602
The things they tell you to do are:
1) Keep Things Up to Date; 2) Put Your Files Away; 3) Name Your Files; 4) Prune Through Your Files; 5) Back Up Your Files; 6) Check for Viruses; 7) Clean the Outside
Where is anything about running the maintenance scripts, checking permissions, checking your preferences, updating the databases, cleaning caches, or anything else that software programs like Onyx, Cocktail, etc make their purpose? Why don't they mention getting a program like Disc Warrior and running it periodically?
The first item on their list is Keep Things Up to Date, meaning download system and application updates. Well after looking at these forums for a while I would have to say that is the worst thing you could do, as so many posts start, " Help! I updated my software and now things don't work...." Even if you look at this article about updating your software...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106704
...nowhere does it mention repairing your permissions! Yet everywhere on this forum that is mentioned as one of the first things to do...unfortunately AFTER people are crazy with problems.
I don't get it. Even in the manuals that come with the computers none of this stuff is mentioned (last time I looked) except in the troubleshooting section. Would you buy a car where the owner's manual had "change the oil regularly" listed in a section on what to do after you've blown your engine?
Granted, a lot of people on this forum know all these things and do them regularly, but I have several friends with Macs who never do any regular maintenance because they've never been told to. One just called me last week because his iMac auto-updated and he had all sorts of problems.
So why is this? Why isn't basic Mac maintenance explained to people better? Going back to the car analogy, people have been taught they have to give their cars tune-ups or face an eventual breakdown. Why not with Macs?
I have been using Macs for years and enjoy looking into this geeky stuff. And I rarely have any serious problems. I would think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't automatically update without checking MacFixit first and seeing what problems people are having and running a few simple maintenance routines periodically, plus backing up for good measure. Why isn't Apple more upfront with people about maintaining their Macs? Am I off-base here?
ibook G3, imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'll provide you with several references you will find interesting reading:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060413075624652
http://www.macworld.com/2006/08/secrets/repairpermissions/index.php
http://www.macworld.com/2006/03/secrets/tcopermissions/index.php
http://www.atomicbird.com/node/view/29
The document to which you referred is an old one that dates back a ways when permissions repairs were often still needed because many installers improperly changed permissions or caused permissions to change through other improper operations. In reality the only thing permissions repair affects are the permissions on OS X installed software for which there are receipts in the /Library/Receipts/ folder and third-party software that install a receipt that includes information on resetting permissions for that software. The vast majority of third-party applications provide no such information and repairing permissions has no impact on them.
As for maintenance scripts they are now supposed to be run automatically regardless of whether the computer is turned on in the early AM, but this is an implementation with Tiger because Tiger introduced a new method of task launching. It's not 100 percent effective but it's better than it was. However, it's an easy problem to solve because there are some excellent utilities that solve the problem: Macaroni, Anacron, and Pseudo Anacron - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. I use Macaroni on all my Macs.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
I know that Joe Average has no clue, but it's not Apple's responsibility to provide Joe Average with clues on how to use a computer. No more than it's not GM's responsibility to teach you how be an automotive mechanic or how to drive. Some things you have to take responsibility for yourself. It's just that Joe Average is too lazy to read the User Guide, buy a book, or in any other way learn about computers before buying one.
As you can tell I am somewhat heavy handed about personal responsibility. Computers are essentially toys that aren't dangerous, but the person playing with them is. What really scares the crap out of me is that same Joe Average has a driver's license and may be old enough to drink liquor. When it comes to driving or drinking and driving Joe Average is no more competent.
