SUPER strange problem with an old account - passow...

Ok so here's the story - I created a Skype account years ago - when it all started - must have been 2005-2006 even and I have used it since. I have installed the windows on my PC and Laptop about 2 years ago and the Skype was set to autologin.
Now I have reinstalled Windows on my laptop and when I needed to login to Skype I couldn't remember my password. When trying to recover it, I found out that my main email address had another Skype account attached to it ( seems I made this one years ago ) - this one I am using to write this message. Now I do also have other 2 email account I occasionally use but it seems that neither of them are registered to skype.
The crazy thing is I am still logged in on my home PC with the account I need the password to. Also on my iPhone. I suspect it has something to do with the rule of having both letters and numbers - and I have NO IDEA what I could have used ( my usual passwords don't have numbers in ).
Now comes the fun part - I just found out that from inside the Skype software you can see under Account - what email address is registered to that account. So I logged in home and when entered the Account section - it says : You do not have a registered email address. - so how the hell am I suppose to reset my password if there isn't any email to send the reset code to ?? When tried to enter a new email adreess I am being asked for my password of course
So bottom line is, I can login on my iPhone ( autologin ) and on my home PC ( autologin ) - but I have NO WAY IN HELL to reset my password because there is NO EMAIL ATTACHED TO IT. How can this be possible ?? I suppose it has something to do that my account was originally created in the old times, when skype had different settings/options. I tried to find if there are any password recovery options - but nothing worked. I can of course prove I am the owner of the account
My account name in question is : cornholio4ya - WHAT CAN I DO ? I am desperate.

abybody ??

Strange problem with default mail account

Just recently, the behavior of my default mail account (ATT yahoo server) has changed. This is a regular POP account, but suddenly, although mail still comes into the account as it should, the messages are not treated as new messages: there's no mail sound when mail for this account arrives, no count of new messages, and none of the new messages show the unread dot.
It still behaves normally on my computer, so I don't think it's a change on ATT's end.(These are not messages I've already read on another device, so it's not likely to be some IMAP-ish change on the server side, either.) None of my mail settings are any different than they have been. Other mail accounts via the same server still behave normally. I've tried re-syncing, power cycling, restoring, and nothing has made any difference.

Actually, it's even stranger. If I send mail to the malfunctioning account from another acct (me.com, for instance) from the iPad itself, the incoming message behaves normally. But if I do the same thing from my mac or my iPod, it comes in as pre-read.
I suspected the cause for all this weirdness was that my mail trash was gigantic, because it was a long time before I found the setting for erasing deleted messages and initially changing that didn't get rid of all the existing old messages, but now I'm not so sure about that, after all that resetting up accts.
Oh, and yes, I've checked the ports. There's a lot of port heck with ATT at the best of times, so I'm used to going there.

Super-strange problem with display - EFI BIOS missing or corrupted?

OK, so here's the breakdown.
When I insert Windows CD/DVD - screen lights up, installation goes, no problems.
When I insert OS X Install CD - no picture, no go. It "installs in the background without providing any picture to my LCD screen". Zapping, resetting, taking out battery, nothing works. I have three Mac Edition VGA's, all exhibit the same problems so this is absolutely not a VGA problem.
For example, out of pure misery, I tried installing iAtkos v7. It works. Of course, this has a classic DOS/ISO compatible booting procedure that doesn't require Mac CD/DVD format.
Please help, run out of ideas.

OK, so, wrong group but... don't kill me
We're talking about a early-2008 Mac Pro, two quad-core Xeons at 3.0, 16GB memory, three different VGA's tried (they're not inside at the same time - I bought two more so I can test and check if it's VGA that's the problem, so, only one inside at the time) - 7300GT, and two GT120's. No other hardware inside, nothing connected, no network connection at this time.
All three VGA's work happily when I put the Win 7 install DVD (Ultimate 64-bit, but I tried with Vista and XP as well and it boots and everything is ok), but as soon as I put Snow Leopard Retail DVD inside (or the original DVD that came with it) - the screen remains blank while computer powers up and never reaches the "gray screen" status. None of the keyboard combinations (Option key, D key, C key, X key - while starting up the computer) - managed to do a thing about it.
It just seems to me that my previous OS X installation that used to work (the one that was up there when I bought it brand new) - installed some firmware update that screwed up something on the motherboard. That's why I'm saying that it seems as though EFI BIOS on the motherboard is corrupted or something.
Is there some way to re-flash the bios of this motherboard via bootable cd and/or from Windows? I tried that firmware restore CD, but as it never reaches the grey screen, I can't tell what's going on so - no help on that part.
Any help would be hugely welcome.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Strange problem with App Id on developer account

Hi,
I have very strange problem with App Id on developer account.
We have uploaded one project with App Id(com.yourcompany.app) and its ready for sale now. Now we have to release update for this application but we could not find that App Id(com.yourcompany.app) on developer account. But strange is that i could not see delete option for App Id.
If i try to create new App Id with com.yourcompany.app name then it shows that it is already being used please select any other name.
Does anyone has faced this type of problem.
Regards,

You shouldn't need to enter the App Id when updating your app. Could you please describe the page in which you're asked for the App Id, and describe how you got to that page?
For example, if I wanted to update Version 1.2 of Ray'sApp, I would log into ITC, then click on +Manage Your Applications+ to get to the "Manage Your Applications" page. On this page I see the icon for every app I have in the store. I then click on the icon for Ray'sApp 1.2 to get to the page titled "Ray'sApp". Next I click the 4th selection to the right on that page: +Update Application+, click No and Continue on the "Export Compliance" page, and get to the "Upload Application" page. On that page I fill in Version Number: 1.3, Language English, Name: Ray'sApp, Keywords ..., What's New in this Version: ..., and the Apple Content Descriptions table. Then I upload the binary.
Following the above example, show us how you got to a step that requested the App Id. Else you might refer to Page 86: Version Updates in the iTunes Connect Developer Guide. In that case, please explain how your update experience differed from the steps in the Guide.

Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air.

Helloo! I have super big problem with my Air,10.8.5 ,it asks every 10 sec to make some changes and asks me for password all the time!! I cant acces my documesnt,pics,music,NOTHING at all! Finder is not working,i cant open any folder,icons are missing also,i cant open any of them,mozzila,chrome..im really going crazy.. i updated tonight my phone on new IOS 7 through my comp,cant be that i messed up everything because of that..this comp.is like 10 days old.
btw. i created new user,and everything is working ok.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

Strange problem with Adobe Acrobat X (crash without a trace)

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Adobe Acrobat. It happens totally randomly, it leaves no signs in system logs.
What is happening: during my work Adobe Acrobat sudennly crashes. After a crash I cannot run it again - system seems to do something for a second, but then nothing happends. When i look into taks manager - there are no processes of Acrobat.exe. It just doesn't want to run. What I need to do is to reinstall whole Adobe Acrobat - which requires restart.
I've already tried to restart system after crash, it doesn't help - reinstall is required.
Sometimes everyting is fine for a 3 months, sometimes crash happens a week after the previous one. It also happens in very different situations (somtimes while opening a file, sometimes when doing something simple, sometimes in more complex tasks).
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
Acrobat version: 10.1.1
System info: Windows 7 64 bit

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

Strange Problem with a Vector wraped inside a Hashtable

Hi all ,
I'm having a strange problem with a Vector wraped within a Hashtable inherited Class.
My goal is to keep the order of the elements of the Hashtable so what I did was to extend Hashtable and wrap a Vector Inside of it.
Here is what it looks like :
package somepackage.util;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Vector;
public class OrderedHashTable extends Hashtable {
    private Vector index;
    /** Creates a new instance of OrderedHashTable */
    public OrderedHashTable() {
        this.index = new Vector();
//adds a key pair value to the HashTable and adds the key at the end of the index Vector
   public synchronized Object put(Object key,Object value){
       index.addElement(key);
       Object obj = super.put(key,value);
       System.out.println("inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = " + index.size());
       return obj;
public synchronized Object remove(Object key){
       int indx = index.indexOf(key);
       index.removeElementAt(indx);
       Object obj = super.remove(key);
       return obj;
public synchronized Enumeration getOrderedEnumeration(){
       return index.elements();
public synchronized Object getByIndex(int indexValue){
       Object obj1 = index.elementAt(indexValue);
       Object obj2 = super.get(obj1);
       return obj2;
   public synchronized int indexOf(Object key){
    return index.indexOf(key);
    public synchronized int getIndexSize() {
        return index.size();
    }Everything seemed to work fine util I tried to add objects using a "for" loop such as this one :
private synchronized void testOrderedHashTable(){
        OrderedHashTable test = new OrderedHashTable();
        for (int i = 1 ; i<15; i++){
             System.out.println("adding Object No " + i);
             String s = new String("string number = "+i);
             test.put(new Integer(i),s);
             System.out.println("-----------------------------------");
        //try to list the objects
        Enumeration e = test.getOrderedEnumeration();
        while (e.hasMoreElements()){
            Integer intObj = (Integer) e.nextElement();
            System.out.println("nextObject Number = "+ intObj);
    }Here is the console output :
Generic/JSR179: adding Object No 1
Generic/JSR179: inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = 1
Generic/JSR179: -----------------------------------
Generic/JSR179: adding Object No 2

Generic/JSR179: -----------------------------------
Generic/JSR179: adding Object No 13
Generic/JSR179: inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = 14
Generic/JSR179: -----------------------------------
Generic/JSR179: adding Object No 14
Generic/JSR179: inside OrderedHashTable Put method index size = 15
Generic/JSR179: -----------------------------------
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 1
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 2
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 3
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 4
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 5
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 6
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 7
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 8
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 9
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 9
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 10
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 11
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 12
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 13
Generic/JSR179: nextObject Number = 14
You can notice that the output seems correct until the insertion of object 9.
At this point the vector size should be 9 and the output says it is 10 elements long ...
In the final check you can notice the 9 was inserted twice ...
I think the problem has something to do with the automatic resizing of the vector but I'm not really sure. Mybe the resizing is done in a separate thread and the new insertion occurs before the vector is resized ... this is my best guess ...
I also tested this in a pure J2SE evironment and I don't have the same strange behavior
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or how I could avoid this problem ?
Thanks a lot !
Cheers Alex

Am i doing anything wrong?Uhm, yes. Read the API doc for addElement() and for addAll()

Strange problem with purple-remote

Hi, I experience a strange problem with purple-remote (program which allow to control Pidgin via D-Bus) :
To get the current status message, you have to type
$ purple-remote getstatusmessage
This works, but when I type
$ echo $(purple-remote getstatusmessage)
this fails with the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/purple-remote", line 238, in <module>
print output
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)
Why?
How can this program work in the first case but not in the second?
Thank you
Edit: BTW, is there a workaround to put the output of `purple-remote getstatusmessage' in a variable? $(), redirections and piping doesn't work.

Strange problem with motherboard H67MA-E45(B3) =( please help

Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard . I have a H67MA-E45 (B3) (MSI-7678) , when i try to update it ( http://www.pcbrain.it/images/stories/msi/H67MA-E45/bios/14.JPG ) , i choose the fourth option "Select one file to update bios" , but the bios did not recognize the update file (E7678IMS.1C0) into the Usb flash drive , but if i choose the second option (select one file to boot) the file is recognized. First I made a backup of the bios, and into the USB flash drive has been created a file called "E7678ICX.162" (my current update). Why the extension is IXC ?!? it should have been IMS ! . I tried changing the file extension "E7678IMS.1C0" (the new update) into "E7678ICX.1C0" and when i select the fourth option , the file is recognized! . Obviously I have not started the update , but if I proceed with the update, changed the name of the extension, is it safe? Or do damage?..please help me :(
P.S. Sorry for my bad bad and very poor english , i'm italian =)

Still think there is a batch conflict or possibly a bad stick in the new sticks. Might test each new stick individually for a bad one. Again, the other solution for an 8BG kit may be the new Kingston HyperX PnP's. Could you post a screenshot of CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD Tab for one of the new sticks?
Added: Actually, screenshots of the old sticks Memory & SPD Tab may be of help too. It may be tRAS or tRFC differences between the two kits. Just speculation at this point though.
All the batchs works perfectly...this is the screen http://imageshack.us/f/163/ramkk.jpg/ ...save and zoom
EDIT: The old stick are SLOT #1 and SLOT #2 ...the new 3 and 4

Hi Maastricht2014,
Until and unless you remember the password to your old email address, you will not be able to access the eBooks as those eBooks are only authorized with your old email address only.
The only workaround or alternative to access your eBooks will be to contact the eBook vendor and ask them to migrate the eBook from your old email to the new one.
Hope that Helps!

Problem with my icloud account!

Hello everybody
I have a problem with my icloud account!
When i bought my iphone 4 last year i set it up with a icloud account that i do not remeber...or it's been erased!
Since then i used another mail account and everything was ok until my i updated my iphone with ios 7.2 and when it restarted it asks for the account that i first set it up with.
I can't seem to find a way around it...it drives me nuts i spent a whole day on this thing and nothing seems to work!
Anybody ???

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

SUPER strange problem with an old account - passow...
