Skype won't let me start an account because I have...

I'm trying to join Skype/set up an account, but it's saying my email address is invalid every time I put it in, and I think it's because I have an ampersand in it, as soon as I take out the ampersand ('&' symbol) the error note dissapears. This email address is defnitiely valid, it works just fine with the ampersand.
Perhaps they need to review their list of allowed characters?

Hi, Solsed, and welcome to the Community,
While the legacy Skype account creation process may have limitations on special characters and extensions, Microsoft accounts are a bit more flexible. You might try setting up a new Skype account using a Microsoft account instead.

Elaine

Itunes won't let me create an account because it says that I do not meet the minimum age requirements. I was born in 1973.

My daughter is 13 yrs old. She was born in August 1997. When I tried to set up her itunes account, I mistakenly typed in the year of my son's birthday which is 1999....which would make her too young. When I tried to create the account again, with the correct year of 1997, it is giving me a message that it "does not meet the minimum age requirements". But it does. What do I do to fix this? I got her the Ipod for her birthday and haven't given it to her yet and I wanted to get some songs on it for her before I gave it to her. What can I do?

Then I have no idea what to say (you did change names and dates I assume?)

TS1277 My iTunes won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

My iTunes account won't let me authorize my computer. I have Windows 8 and have only 3 devices authorized through my account. What should I do?

Howdy scrafts,
I would suggest this article named iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
Open Computer from the Start menu.
From the Organize menu, choose Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders," make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
Click OK.
Navigate to the following location by either typing it into the address bar, copying and pasting it into the address bar, or clicking through the folder hierarchy listed:C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
Right-click the SC Info folder shown and on the shortcut menu, choose Delete.
Restart the computer.
Take care,
Sterling

When I use migration assistant it won't let me use my account name that I'm signed in with. It requires me to select a different user name and then creates a separate account where my files live. Why can't I select the user name and account name I have?

I'm trying to migrate my music and pictures over to my new iMac. When I use the migration assistant it connects to my PC fine but it won't let me use the account name and username that I have created as the admin. It requires me to create a new user account - so then I have two separate accounts to log in to which i don't want. How do I get it to let me use the current account that I have to move my files to?
Thanks!

Migration Assistant creates a new account and migrates all the information you have requested to that new account. There is no way around that. However once migrated you can move the data to the account you want to. Here are some instructions for doing so:
Transferring files from one User Account to another.

I have money on my account, but it won't let me purchase any songs because of an old credit card asking for verification, so how do I get it off?

I Have $13.60 on my itunes account from a gift card, but it won't let me purchase any songs because of a credit card I used to have on the account. There's no money on the credit card, and I want it to go away so I can purchase songs again.

What exactly happens when you try to buy something ? If you've already removed the card from your account then iTunes shouldn't be asking for any details about it.
If you log into into your account is the card still shown . On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

Tiger won't let me start up from OS9.2 CD to install it?

Good afternoon! I have Tiger 10.4 and I need to install 9.2.1 to run some of my apps but when I restart with the OS9 CD in, holding down the C key, it still won't let me start up from the OS 9.2.1 CD? Any suggestions?

Tiger has nothing to do with it.
Which PowerBook G4 do you have? Many of them will NOT boot into OS 9. See KB 86209, Macintosh: Some Computers Only Start Up in Mac OS X. Any Macs listed in that KB article (and later Macs) won't boot OS 9.

I keep getting an error code of 403 and it won't let me into my account.

I just viewed the website on my computer, and it appears to be working okay on my end. It's possible that there's a setting in your web browser responsible for what you're seeing. I would recommend trying the following steps:
1. Try to view the site in a different web browser to see if that's the issue. Normally, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all display the website properly. Try one or two of those (other than the one you've been using) and it should do the trick.
2. If that doesn't work, try resetting Internet Explorer's default settings by clicking "Tools" (on the top menu bar), "Internet Options" (usually at the bottom of that list), "Advanced" (far-right tab), and "Reset" (towards the bottom-right of that box). After resetting the defaults, try viewing the ePrint Settings area again.

ITunes Store won't let me create an account

I recently got an iTunes Music Card and to use it I have to have an account with iTunes Store. But it won't let me create an account. Everytime I try to make one the Windows Installer opens and tries to install Microsoft Small Business. So when I close that suddenly there is an error and iTunes has to close. So I don't get to create an account. What do I do?

You can create an acct at myinfo.apple.com

When I call an online contact the system shows the “calling” but my contact never answers.My contacts never receive any call I try to make.Skype will not hang up on a failed call. The system continues to show the calling screen when I hit the ”hangup’ Icon or use the hang up command from the menu. The system will go on calling my contact forever (well it has lasted for 95 minutes till I shut down the computer)My contacts cannot see me on line.What I have done to try and fix the problem.I have uninstalled Skype, downloaded again and reinstalled. I have done this 3 times but get the same result.I have tried deleting the DbTemp folder and also found and deleted the Skype folder in the %appdata% folder.I have even tried deleting skpe, deleting the DbTemp folder and deleting the skype folder in the %appdata% folder, then downloading a new copy and installing it. I get the same resultHelp!!!!

It won't let me upgrade my account from Standard to Pro. It keeps directing me back here. How do I either upgrade or cancel my current account?
