"This photo is unavailable." message

The title is pretty self-explanatory. My Skype desktop client suddenly stopped working and crashed on me some weeks ago and I've been unable to see pictures sent by others and send pictures myself ever since. I have tried every solution suggested in other topics but none seemed to help so I hoped the issue would solve itself after the next update. Sadly, that didn't happen and I'm still having the same problem. I'm using Windows 8.1Internet Explorer Version 11.0.9600.17842Skype Version 7.6.64.105

"this photo is unavailable" after 7.4.0.102 upgrad...

After allowing Skype 7.3.0.101 to update to the latest version, 7.4.0.102, I was no longer able to send or receive picture files. Non picture files such as ZIP archives work fine.
I ran through the numerous suggestions for this issue but none fixed it.
What did finally work to resolve this issue was as follows.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process.
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button.
The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There, locate the "Skype” folder.
In a subfolder of "Skype", probably related to your username, find config.xml and rename it to config.xml.old
Relaunch Skype.
Sending and receiving pictures.
Other details and suggested steps that didn't work
Running Windows 7 with all updates current.
IE Version 11.0.9600.17728, Update versions: 11.0.18
First, I Reset IE to defaults
Skype: 7.4.0.102
Second, I Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled Skype
Third, Disabled both the Hosts file and firewall
Fourth, In IE, went to https://api.asm.skype.com/s/i
Login as prompted and see "This photo is currently unavailable, please try again later."
Still no pictures in Skype.

This did not work for me. I have tried everything that they have offered as a solution and nothing works. Ugh very frustrated with it!

"LR has encountered problems reading this photo" is the message I get when I try opening my Nikon D7

I downloaded a trial version yesteday and it is not totally convincing !

We'd need more details to help, including ... exactly what is a Nikon D7? I can't find any website that mentions the existence of a Nikon D7. Perhaps that is why Lightroom is having a problem
Other information needed:
The exact error message, word for word
exactly what step (or what action) in Lightroom produces this message
the operating system
the version of Lightroom
is the photo RAW or JPG
where is this photo stored on your hard disk (the exact path and file name)

Mac OS X 10.7 drivers for HP LaserJet 1300: installation at the "Add Printer" process ended, every time, with message "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable..."! PLEASE HELP?

APPLE [see Apple Support's Article HT 3669] says Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) has drivers for this Printer.
But, every time I've tried installing it to my Mac Book Pro (which came with OS X 10.7), it does recognize that the Printer (connected via USB cable) is HP LaserJet 1300 -- in fact, right below, this statement appears: "The drivers for this Printer are available...". But, when it comes to the actual process of downloading, the "Add Printer" window -- after 20+ minutes of its "searching" for the drivers -- always ends with the message: "Currently drivers for this printer are UNavailable... contact the manufacturer."!!! (Can you imagine? Apple says it's available... but its own "Add Printer" process says it's UNavailable!)
I went to HP's support site, and it, too, says that drivers for this Printer are available! -- see the 2 links:

You haven't installed any of the Photoshop updates for CS5.
Go download and install the updates.

Error message- "LR has encountered problems reading this photo" after installing LR 5.6 on new computer and retrieving all contents from old HD from external HD.

Hi-
I got a new PC laptop, retrieved all old HD contents from my external HD, installed LR 5.6 (5.4 on previous PC) and when I tried to open up my old Lightroom catalog it has an error saying "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo". I tried to open the catalog straight from my external HD with the same error message. I've read about four billion forum threads to try to figure it out- files do not seem to be missing as most threads indicate. The other threads suggest there is a corruption with the file, but I don't THINK that is the case. Are there any other suggestions? If the file is corrupted, how do I find out for sure? Have I lost all my edits??
Thanks for your help and time!

Message: this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled

Hallo,
I have added a gallery to my website. When i open this website i get the message "Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed."
I have looked for this mesaage at Google and a few other sites pop up. The difference is that in these sites the message is in de code behind the site but is not shown on the site itself. In stead the gallery is shown. And that is what i want at my site.
Is the possibility to repress the message and show the gallery?
Greetings,
Timo

Maybe the message itself can give you a hint?
"Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed."
I would start with installing the latest flash plugin.
After that I would check that I didn't had disabled javascript.

Message regarding Metadata for this photo has been changed

We recently transferred from PC to Mac. We now get, over each image, an icon that when you hover over it the message says, "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" What should our action be please?

Normally, that message indicates that another program has changed the photo's metadata on disk after it was imported into the LR catalog. But sometimes LR generates that message spuriously, i.e. it's a false alarm. In this case, I think it is likely a false alarm, and you should choose Overwrite Settings. However, before you do so, make sure you have a good backup of your catalog, just in case. See Lightroom Help | Back up a catalog for how to make a manual backup of your catalog when LR exits.

> Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

Just setting up my iphone 5, and its syncing everything from my previous iphone, except my photos and text messages. Ive been trying to fix this now for about 4-5 hours. Help!!!!!!

So, I backed up my iphone 4. Set up my iphone 5, pressed sync and it did its job. However, its seems to have synced everything except my photos and text messages. Basically the most things I use on my phone! Ive searched for solutions all over the internet, tried them all and still no luck. this is driving me crazy, been working on it for hours now. someone please help!
Much appreciated

You do not sync text messages.
Did you restore the iPhone 5 from a backup of your old phone?
If not, do so to put everything back. This is assuming you want/need you sms messages.
Pictures should already be on the computer, then they can be synced to the device.

I've heard that when you update your new software you are able to view any photo or text message you have ever done, is this true?

I've heard that when you update the new software to your iphone you are then able to view every photo and text message you have ever created, is this true.

Um, no.

Just purchased and installed lightroom 5 along with update. Upon attempting to import photos received "AgCreativeCloudUtils" message. Does anyone know how to move past this. thanks

Without proper system info and other technical details nobody can tell you much. This could be something to do with the sync features, so as a start turn that stuff off.

Lightroom 5: All photos now "Error working with this photo"

I went back to my lightroom catelog, where a lot of my photos are all on my NAS, and now all the photos are unable to be edited. "There was an error working with this photo."
Everything was working for awhile, but now every single photo is erroring out.
In the finder, i still see the photos perfectly fine. I even opened up the good 'ol Photo Mechanic 5 and opened a contact sheet, and these photos still worked. So it's not like they're corrupted or completely gone.
I created another new lightroom catelog, and tried to import the photos again. But when I select the directory the photos are in, it's empty for about 10 minutes, then shows all the photos but with "Preview unavailable for this file."
The big caveat are all these photos are on a networked NAS (Synology). I'm accessing it over WiFi which is probably the biggest problem.
The folder was mounted as a NFS folder. It was disconnected once when I had a power outage (damn wind). I since re-mounted the folder and all that. I'm not entirely sure if that's what did it or if these errors started happening after that or not. But I've moved photos to my NAS folder in my catalog just today, and they are now erroring as well. So it's not like the older ones are erroring. Just all of them are.
Mac OSX - Mavericks 10.9
32GB Ram / 3.4GHz Intel Core i7
Lightroom 5
Files are all: DNG/ARW/NEF

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but there are lots of messages in the forums about Lightroom problems specifically related to Synology NAS.
Have you spoken to Synology about this?
