There is supposed to be a back door way to run Skype on a PB.

"there is supposed to be a back door way to run Skype on a PB.
All I have found is a port of a 'droid' app and only the chat feature works. You have to side load it into your PB.

Yup.  I have looked high and low for a decent video chat option for cross platform chat and can find NOTHING.  Imo does not work correctly on upgraded os2 andreelportal is really poor quality.
I love the PB.  I love thesize, it's speed, it's UI, but I can't get over its software limitations.  I'm going away in 3 weeks and need video chat.  So ilooked at my options last couple of days and unfortunately iam now on the verge of selling pb and getting an android tablet..............and giving up my bb handset for a galaxy s2.  the limitations of the pb has unfortunately highlighted the limitations of bb to me and unless things change inthenext few days with video chat options on pb, RIM have lost a loyal customers.  Sad, but the way of the world.

  • Cant start imac.  need a back door way to delete files

    My imac locked up and now I can't get it to start up.  I believe the problem is a lack of free disc space on the hard drive but I don't know how to delete files?  Does anyone know a back door way to get in and delete files (empty trash)?

    Boot from the Install Disc that came with the computer and then move data off to an external HD. If you are a typical user what is probably occupying a lot of your HD space is media such as iTunes library, iPhoto library and maybe iMovie library. I'd recommend moving those to an External HD. You can then easily access them after you are able to start normally on by following the directions in:
    iMovie: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD
    Another possible solution is if you have a second Mac then boot the problem Mac in Target Disk Mode.

  • Is there any way to run skype 3.8 ?

    So is there a chance ? This is the only version i prefer..

    No. All Skype versions older than 6.14 are now retired and can no longer be used.

  • How do I find a "back door" program or process to re-start my cd drive?

    Hi all,
    I have an i Mac that I am attempting to update to a Panther in order to be able to install and use some of my more recent program purchases, including Quickbooks 6 and Turbotax Premium 2005, which require at least a 10.2.8 upgrade to install and run. Within the last week, my cdrw drive in my i Mac has died and we have tried everything we can think of to do or could find ideas for in Macos trouble-shooting books to try to get the upgrade to install. Because the drive isn't working, it would not boot directly under any method, including trying starting from shutoff holding the c, or the Control and c, to get it to boot; it would ask for my administrator password, then tell us to start; then back to the password...an endless cyle.
    When none of that worked, we tried loading the upgrade to Panther from my external drive Iomega CDRW but it put us into the same cycle; the man who set up my system (he lives out of state and cannot help us to set it up) said that the 10.1 operating system will allow us to only boot or install the upgrade from a working crdw drive in the i Mac itself.
    Because of my current financial situation being what it is, I cannot at this time afford to pay a Mac tech at $90.00/hour or more to work on it, that option is a very last choice on my list I need this upgrade to be able to install the Turbotax to bring in some income.
    I have been told by people who are computer techs at Intuit that there are back door programs available that will allow us to install or write a temporary program to re-start my cdrw drive in the i Mac for long enough to do the install and programs I need and for us to make sure everything is operating properly. Can anyone help me out with this? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
    Also, just a couple of minor questions:
    1. Am I able to install regular software programs, such as Turbotax, without issues, from my external cdrw?
    2. How do I get directly in contact with apple tech help (live help, chat) to get their input as well? I'm not sure how to get there.
    Thank you,

    There are no "backdoor" programs that will make a defective optical drive work.
    If your iMac has a Firewire port you can use an external Firewire optical drive to boot the Panther Installer Disc provided the external optical drive is bootable. Otherwise, you will need to replace the internal optical drive. If your iMac does not have a Firewire port, then I believe you are out of luck unless you can get the Panther Installer Disc to boot from a USB external drive - doubtful at best.
    If you can't afford to have someone fix your computer, then you should consider fixing it yourself. You can find repair manuals here: http://www.whoopis.com/computer_repair/. You can buy a bare optical drive most anywhere on the internet. Other parts resources include www.welovemacs.com, www.applerescue.com, www.shreevesystems.com.

  • Although I turned off WiFi, set as 'require admin password to turn on and off wifi, when I turn on my MacBook Pro, retina latest model, just got for a month, it turns on wifi automatically, is this a back door or virus or security hole? Thank you

    I have my all networks at 'Off' status in the system panel, never use Bluetooth either, also in the top status bar, and set as 'require admin password to turn on and off WiFi', but when I turn on my MacBookPro 15" retina newest model only one month old, it goes on to WiFi automatically by itself.
    Is this a back door? Security hole?
    The other day, I was taking a break for five minutes, when I came back, the Microsoft outlook is open for setting up an account, I never use outlook, it is there only because it comes with the office package. Also, iTunes was playing music, I don't use iTunes when I'm working. Both were not on before I left for the break.
    What is the problem?

  • How do I find out if I have back door port issues.

    I recently got to looking at my MacBook Pro and noticed that I had a couple of programs most likely put there by my kids that download movies and stuff. One was Limewire and there was another one called torrent something. I dont know a lot about them but have friends that are telling me that these programs will install some sort of back door access to my computer that will slow it down. I have recently deployed to the Middle East so our internet isn't fast to begin with so I cant be sure why it is running slower. I have since deleted the programs as I have no need for them. How do I tell if there are any of these back door programs and stop them. I am fairly new to the Mac world so I am just learning a lot of how they operate.
    Thanks for any guidance on this issue.

    That is a false statement.
    BitTorrent and Limewire can be exploited by malware authors, and there may be illegal content passing over the network, but to say that this is the usual case is a little too much. Your statement implies that by installing the software you immediately become a criminal and your machine gets infested with malware. That is not the case. There is a lot of legitimate traffic on such peer-to-peer networks.
    Downloading content via a torrent carries the same risks and responsibilities as downloading content from anywhere else. Consider how much you trust the source before installing/opening anything you download. The main issue, of course, is that you don't know who the source is, and that's the real concern.
    Not true
    Bit-torrent is not the same as simply downloading material. It is connecting to a large user-shared internet network, and usually allows other people to access your computer when you are a seed.
    And I maintain that most bit-torrent activities are for downloading "shared" files which are usually copyright protected. I have personally checked and verified this. If you believe that being able to download Leopard or Apple products via bit-torrent sites is legal, then we have our differences.
    I reference
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalissues_withBitTorrent
    and others.
    The claim is that the "sharing" is legal because it's user-to-user. So it's OK for someone to "share" the Leopard OS?
    I stand by my original statements 100%. I would take the opposite stand, Limewire and bit-torrent "can" be used legally, but for the most part when reality strikes home, they are not. Those who say it's OK to "share" files are either naive or are involved in the "sharing" but in any case, just look at what is being shared and that proves my point.
    Naturally, the fact that "sharing" is popular is why much malware is associated with the processes.
    This old link is a mere bagatelle of what goes on with file "sharing"
    http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/05/07/malware-outbreak-blamed-on-file-swapped -mp3s-mpegs
    BTW, it's illegal to share copyrighted files no matter what, and it's illegal to own them unless they were legally purchased.

  • The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

  • I put my iPad into DFU mode without thinking much about it. I didn't realize I would lose everything. Is there a way to get everything back the way I used to have it before I tried recovering my iPad?

    A couple of days ago my iPad died, so I plugged it in to charge. It went into a rebooting loop, and when I looked up how to fix this, I saw that I can put my iPad into DFU mode to fix certain things like this. I did, not thinking much about it because l had seen both of my parents get new phones and everything was slowly but surely on their phone the way it was on their old phones.
    I thought that even though I agreed to the iPad being put back into factory settings, I thought I would be able to get everything back the way it used to be just by logging into iCloud when setting it up. I was wrong. This is a school iPad, so all of my notes are gone. The only things that were backed up were my photos. All the games, social media, etc. that I had downloaded prior were gone. Even my notes.
    Is there a way I can get everything back to the way it used to be, or was agreeing to put the iPad back into factory settings the wrong thing to do? Was it a mistake to take it upon myself to fix my iPad in this restarting loop? I would really like to get everything back, especially my school notes.

    The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Is there an application where I can back up all my info that I have on my computer so I don't have to buy a external hard drive?

    Is there an application where I can back up all my info that I have on my computer so I don't have to buy a external hard drive?

    Yes, but off-site storage (i.e. Mozy) is more expensive in the long-run than an external drive, however, off-site storage is safer (not sure if I trust the security though), and even with a fast connection, the inital backup can take days

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?
