Trouble calling someone
So I'm skyping a friend (while in the same house) and I'm been skyping fine with no problems, but when I signed my friend up and tried to call my account, it said at the top that "There was a problem with your recording device."
We don't use webcams, cameras, or anything like that. Also, the microphone that my friend uses isn't working right now, but I don't think that's relevant. So is it the microphone or does Skype think that that computer has a webcam, and it isn't working?
"Recording device" is actually exactly the microphone. So if the microphone is not working, then you don't have any recording device.

Is anyone else having trouble with Siri calling someone from your Contacts on the Iphone 5?
Has anyone had trouble with Siri on the Iphone 5 in dealing with your Contacts. She gives all of the correct information on scores for the NFL but not if I ask her to call somebody in my contacts. She has no trouble with which movies are playing tonight at my local theaters.
If I ask her to call someone from my Contacts, she takes a very long time and then says something like this, "Uh oh, there's a problem. Can you try again?" or something of this nature. Any help appreciated. BTW I download my information from Itunes and also had to change my sim card in order for Verizon to keep my same telephone number.I have not had this problem. I am new to Siri (with an iPhone 5 upgrade from an i4) and Siri has made a number of calls from my contacts. She asks, which John Doe (if I have more than one), which number (if I have more than one) and off we go.
Maybe, you have some setting wrong. -
Trouble send and receiving messages and trouble calling people or receiving phone calls
Hello everyone, I bought a Blackberry Q5 one year ago and has worked perfectly since but on christmas day I had was struggling to send message to people I thought nothing of it since it was christmas and people would be wishing there families and friends a merry christmas. So i just carried on as usual not aware that the problem was much worse then i thought, since then I have tried time and time again to try text people and call them but nothing would happen.
The Problems I am experiencing,
Everytime I try sending a message it fails and times out after a while doesn't matter whom they are being sent to it's the same story no matter who I send them to, and then of course when i try calling someone the phone goes to the calling screen but doesn't make a sound for atleast 10 seconds then a message pops up saying "Call Failure, The call could not be connected. Please try again later". This message appears even when I ring '789' which is the number to find out what my balance is on my contract.
At first I thought it was the Sim what was cauing the problems but when i swapped it into another Virgin phone i received quite an alarming amount of messages what would not come through on my phone, this is when i realised I am not just struggling to send messages but to receive them as well. I have scoured the internet for possible answers but nothing has worked, so far I have tried manually scanning for available networks and selecting the correct one which did not change the problem this didn't make things better nor did it make things worse.
I have also tried changing the data services while roaming settings which again did not make any differences, I have tried changing network mode no changes again, turning the mobile network off all together and then turning it back on after 5 minutes no success there either. I have even reset the phone back to factory setting to try and fix the problem, but no, the problem still will not go away.
Please if there is anyone out there who has any ideas on how to fix what is happening to my phone please do give me your advice, at this moment I really need a miracle to come around at the next corner.Hi rhupa!

Check your Incoming IMAP or POP and Outgoing SMTP email account settings
Use Apple's online Mail Setup Assistant to discover what the correct settings should be for both your Incoming (IMAP or POP) and Outgoing SMTP email servers. If your email service provider is not listed in the Mail Setup Assistant, visit your email service provider's website or contact their support staff to get the correct settings. You can use this "cheat sheet" when asking your email service provider about the settings you need.
After you have the correct email service provider settings, make sure Mail is configured properly.

When I call someone using FaceTime from my mac, they can see me but not hear me. Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I also have an iPad 2 and FaceTime works great on it if I call somebody. Why no sound from my mac FaceTime using a mac pro and isight camera, mike combo.
If I use google it works. If I use Ichat, it works. If I use skype it works.This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Try turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume). Do this on both sides of the call. -

Having problem with siri on calling someone
Hi.. i'm having a problem with siri when calling someone..it says " i can't call using that number "
Im from Mauritius, our mobile number having been migrated into 8-digits since 1 month. I'd turn off siri, reset setting.. its the same!

i think its because, of the 8 digits number. -
I have a problem in iphone4,i am from india and bought a new unlocked iphone4 from USA last month.the problem is when i call someone their is disturbance in the voice and i cant hear the opposite person voice.please inform me how should i overcome this?
There may be a defect in the phone. As you bought it in the US the only place you can get it looked at is in the US.
When you say you bought it new, unlocked did you buy it directly from an Apple store? If you did not it was hacked to unlock it, which could also be your problem. Apple stores are the only place in the US that sells legitimately unlocked iPhones. -
My daughter is going to Canada for a week and i would like to know if it will cost extra for her to text and/or call someone in the United States?
http://businessportals.verizonwireless.com/international/traveling_to/North_America/Canada.html
69 cents a minute for calls, texts covered under an existing texting plan or the standard pay per text rate if you don't have one.
If you're traveling in Canada, contact Customer Service at 800-922-0204 from any landline phone.
Global Picture and Video Messages are billed at the same per-message rate as though they were sent from the U.S. Accordingly, you can send/receive Picture and Video Messages with customers of:
Verizon Wireless (domestic rates/bundles apply)
Other domestic carriers (domestic rates/bundles apply)
Canadian, Mexican and Puerto Rican carriers (domestic rates/bundles apply)
Select International carriers (global rates apply)
When sending or receiving there's an additional data transport charge billed at the destination's Data Pay per Use Rate multiplied by the size of the Picture or Video, which can vary greatly.
A data network is required to send picture or video outside the U.S. See the Data Roaming List for eligible destinations.
Attempts to send Pictures or Videos are charged, even if the delivery fails.
Text Messages sent or received while in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are billed as though you were in the U.S.

My FaceTime stopped working. I call someone they pick up. Then FaceTime disconnects. Help!lol
Whenever I try to call someone on FaceTime, it dials and as soon as someone picks up it disconnects. All of a sudden this problem started. Any suggestions on how to fix?
What iOS version is on your phone? If not iOS 7.1.1, you need to update. This is a known issue, & the only fix is to update your phone.

when i call someone who already connected with another call it doesn't show any wating notification. why? it is very important. all other mobiles have this option. Please give me some solution.
Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else. -

Those were all lies. They are scammers, and were trying to scare you into believing that you were infected with "viruses" so that you would pay them to fix the nonexistent problem.
Did you give them remote access to your system at any point? If so, your Mac should be considered compromised at this point, so you'll need to erase the hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch. For more information, see:

I have iphone 6 plus (IOS 8.0.2). When i am connecting it to my Hyundai Grand i10 using Bluetooth and trying to call someone, unable to get the ringing sound. Sound comes only when the person receives a call.
Hello Mogulman46,
So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off.
Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a num
Is there a phone number where I can call someone? The phone number in your web page is missing a number. it is listed as 1-800-426-570? One number missing. I just paid with my credit card online for photoshop and it is not allowing me to log in in order to download.
If I click on the adobe.ly link Rajshree gave you, above, there is a phone number at the bottom of the Customer Support contact webpage.
This is the number I see when logged in with an AdobeID associated with the US is:
800-833-6687
It is possible that you are somewhere else in the world and the webpage is smart enough to give a different phone number, so the number I see may or may not be applicable to where you are.
It also may be advisable to use the Chat instead of the phone, because it may be easier to understand what someone is typing than trying to interpret their English through whatever accent they are speaking with.
