Stuck on "Signing in..." have tried everything I c...
The last time I was able to log on skype was a week ago when I left my house to go to the hospital for a procedure. I spent a few days away from home, not logged into skype, and when I returned home today I found that I was unable to log in on the same computer that I was using before I went to the hospital. It is stuck on the "signing in..." screen.
Things that make this different from other threads that I was able to find:
The computer was offline for several days preceding the inability to log on
The three other computers in my appartment are able to log onto skype just fine
Things that I have tried to fix the problem:
I have tried clearing the appdata and temp files and doing a clean reinstall
I have disabled all of my firewalls and antivirus (Webroot)
I have made sure that my version of skype and Windows is up to date
The only antivirus this computer has had on it to my knowledge is Webroot (so no McAfee or Norton or some other such nonsense could be causing the problem).
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit. Please let me know what other information I can provide that might help find a solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
I was able to find the solution after some digging through failed solutions in another thread. I had been using a VPN to access Skype and didn't realize that the problem had started when I stopped using the VPN because of the timing of my hosiptal visit.
The working solution was to download and run the program here.
This program finds the windows registry settings changed by the VPN and reverts them. The above link was found here.
Here are a couple other solutions that did not work for me but I will include them for the sake of completeness for other people having this issue:
in the command prompt, type "ipconfig \flushdns" and press enter to refresh the dns cache
restart your computer in safe mode with networking, log into skype, then reboot normally

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever. -

I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.
I had that happen with a MacBook. It turned out that the metal case above the slot was slightly bent down.
Putting a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and gently twisting it to move the metal case up allowed it to eject. Don't put it in too far you only want to bend the case not the drive.
The case can get bent down by picking it up with your thumb pressing down on the case above the slot. -
The previous versions of firefox had google by default, which was the best. But now it seems firefox needs money very badly so it has tied up with yahoo to have it as default search engine.
I have tried everything all that the volunteers have suggested but nothing works.
So what to do?? Dump firefox and go back to explorer??? Or can this be fixed????Fix it easily.
follow the steps here:

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!
Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.
Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

"Cannot Connect to iTunes" Error iOS 6.0.1 Have tried everything! Got advice?
I have iPhone 4S.
Just updated to iOS 6.0.1.
I'm getting the very common "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store" error when I try to download anything in the App Store. I have tried EVERYTHING to resolve it and nothing works.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. Set Date&Time to 2013. Try App Store. Got error. Set Date&Time to auto again. DIDNT WORK.
2. Set Date&Time to 2030. Try App Store. Got error. Set Date&Time to auto again. DIDNT WORK.
3. Rebooted iPhone twice after resetting Date&Time. DIDNT WORK.
4. Signed out of iTunes/Apple ID account. DIDNT WORK. Worse, now iTunes won't even acknowledge my account and wont let me sign back in! DIDNT WORK.
I have tried everything every one has said worked for them. Nothing works for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I throw the phone out the window? God help me, if I'm forced to go to Windows 8, I'll cry.Greek_Freek wrote:

Heavens no ... Don't do it!
There are a bunch of users posting about this problem right now. One might assume that there is something "hinky" going on with the Apple servers. There is one other thing that you can try, that you haven't already mentioned ... Don't know if it will work ... You may just have to wait this out until Apple fixes it but ....

More than likely, it is an Apple glitch, but give it a try. -
When I open Facebook and a few other webpages the screen size is large and some of the info will not appear. I have tried everything to reset the size and it does not work. I have even zoomed out and the missing info still does not appear. But if I log into IE it is just fine and all the info is there and is useable. I hate IE and do not want to use it so please help me fix this issue with Firefox.
CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.

I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week. I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting. I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails. Any ideas?
At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again. -
I have tried everything I know how to do--I am not a expert computer person. Every time I try to sign off the message appears and I have to restart Firefox. Every time I do the restart it says a report is submitted but nothing ever happens. I would appreciate detailed instructions on how to get rid of this message permanently. Any help would be appreciated.

I have creative cloud on my lap top but downloaded the second on my desktop. It is only allowing me to use the trial of After effects and I have tried everything and it still won't let me. It keeps asking for a serial number.
make sure you used the correct adobe id (the one you used to subscribe).
if you did, check for connectivity problems, Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
if that fails to reveal the problem,
contact adobe support, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
