Troubles with my main Skype account - Please help ...

Ok, so it's like this.
I used to talk with my friends on my main Skype account ALL the time. For that reason, I would always have the option to 'sign me in automatically' checked, so I didn't have to keep entering in my password over and over because it's quite long. Well, one day, Skype stopped signing me in automatically for some reason. By that point, it had been so long since I entered my password that I actually forgot what it was (silly of me, I know). So I figured, "All right, no big deal, I can just reset it using my e-mail address".
When I went to reset my password using my e-mail address, there were two other Skype accounts attached to it; neither of them were my main account. I don't understand how this is possible, because I use only one e-mail address for pretty much everything. I know for a fact that my main account was registered with that e-mail address. So now, I've lost all of my friends Skype names just because I can't access my main Skype account. The only piece of information I have is my Skype name. I don't remember my password and I can't reset it because it says it isn't registered to my main e-mail.
I have another e-mail address on Yahoo! that I barely use. I tried to reset my password with that as well, thinking that perhaps I used it instead, but no luck.
What should I do? I really want my main account back. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks so much for reading.
Sincerely, Plastreaka

Having trouble with DVD Video files. Please Help! :)

Hi I recently got a film DVD I wanted to take a clip off. However although I can watch the section I want in Windows Media Player, when I import the film into Premiere - some of it is missing! there are 4 files '4-1',4-2','4-3',4-4' which make up the movie. I can load them all in but 4-3 is missing the last 15-20 minutes, even though I know its there - cos this file is the same size as the previous one which is full length. Does anyone know why this would be? The DVD is unencrypted.
Please help - its quite annoying that the small section of film I want is the bit that won't appear! Thank you very much
Rich

Based on this one line:
The DVD is unencrypted.
I was assuming that it was not protected. However, as you point out, some aspects might be, and the OP might not be completely aware of this.
If there is protection, I strongly urge anyone to respect that, regardless of their intended use of the material. Copy protection is there for a very good reason. Regardless of what one might be able to do, they should be 100% ethical, and honor any/all copy protection. This is true for material from a videographer, or from a commercial studio. Should you need to use the material in such a DVD-Video, you should contact the author to get first permission, and then the original source material, that has not undergone the MPEG-2 compression to DVD-Video.
Again, I assume that the OP knows that this is NOT an issue, and will not figure into the problem. In that case, all above does NOT apply in this case, but some other reader might make note of it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Got mixed up with someone else's account, please help!

Alright guys, I'm sorry for the long post, but this is quite a complicated situation now and I haven't been able to get help anywhere else. I talked to a Reddit user who happens to work for Best Buy Corporate, and he recommended asking one of the Community Connectors. So here I am.
Let me start with my original issue:
Back when "Best Buy RewardZone" was still around, my mother had signed up for an account for my family to use. At the time, I wasn't yet 18 and therefore a parent had to sign up on my behalf. My mom never actually shops at the store, though... the only time she even goes there is if she's buying a gift for me or picking something up that I had put on hold.
I'm now 23, meaning we've had this account for probably six years. Obviously RewardZone is now just called My Best Buy, but it's the same number, and we're still getting the bonus points.
Up until about a year ago, the emails were still going to my mother's email, including the rewards certificate. I had created a free account for myself (not associated with any rewards account) in order to buy something back in 2007 or so (before we signed up for RewardZone), so I couldn't change her email address to mine - the system simply would not let me do that since my email already had an account.
What I did in the meantime was just create a second email for myself and change her account's address to that. That way I was able to check it and get my reward certificates, and she wasn't bothered. But, the account was still in her name. Now that I'm older than 18, I should be able to get it in my name. We have the same last name - it's obvious that I'm not trying to scam the system or anything. I can understand if "Jane Doe" wanted to transfer an account to "John Smith" and the customer service rep wouldn't allow it because that's completely sketchy, but why can't two members of the same family shift around who actually owns the thing?
Well, I noticed a few months ago that there was an option to link my account to a different My Best Buy number. So I put in my "mom's" ID, then logged into that account to confirm it. The result was basically two different logins that belonged to the same rewards account - however, the purchase history was still separate.
So anyway, on December 30, my mom and I called the Best Buy customer service number. She explained the whole situation, and was told that they can't change the name on an account - only two letters. This seems a bit suspicious to me, because if they had typed in somebody's name wrong when they signed up, that person would basically be stuck with it forever...
I explained that even though the account had my mother's name on it, I was the one who was making the purchases for the past couple years. I used my credit card or PayPal account, so they were all technically under my name. What the lady said I can do is create a new Member ID, and that somebody could transfer those purchases to my new ID, under my own name. She said that since I already had an account (which was now tied to my mother's ID), what she'd do is just delete my account and then I would sign up using that same email address, and this time not put in a member ID.
I did that, and she said somebody would transfer the applicable purchases (basically all of them for the past year at least) to my "new" account.
It's been almost 3 weeks now and so far, my account still has absolutely nothing in it. I do notice that purchases made with my account have been moved over to my mother's account... the completely opposite direction as I wanted.
A more serious issue, however. I preordered the Meta Knight Amiibo figure (Best Buy exclusive) from the site back when it was still in stock. Obviously now it's completely sold out, because of the high demand. Because the order hasn't been fulfilled yet, it completely disappeared from both accounts. I still have my order confirmation email, with the order number, but cannot actually pull it up online to view the status.
So I called back today and explained all of this. I was basically told "We can't transfer points, period. Whoever you talked to last time was wrong." Well that's great, now my account is completely empty, despite the hundreds of dollars of purchases I've made, because of someone's mistake? This needs to be fixed. The person I talked to today said he'd tie the Amiibo preorder back with my account "in 7-10 business days" as the other person said. I have to hope this guy is actually telling the truth this time.
But what can I do to fix this problem?
This was my situation a month ago.
Luckily the Meta Knight has arrived just fine, and I did get the emails updating the status for me.
I since then contacted customer support via the website, and got an offer to merge the two accounts in my name. But here's the thing... they combined the wrong account! I'm not sure why they thought the other account belongs to me, but all of the purchases were made at stores in Ohio, and I'm not from there. The address on file is somewher eI've never been. It's clearly someone else's account. Oh, and my Gamer's Club Unlocked has completely vanished as well, which I was told wouldn't happen.
So basically right now, when I log in with my email address, I get somebody else's member ID, somebody who happens to have an Elite Plus membership - but no Gamer's Club Unlocked. I've made a couple purchases in-store, but I need some help fixing this problem as soon as possible.
The only purchase I *know* was made with the older account (the member ID that was auto-created when the My Best Buy program was launched, probably?) is that Meta Knight order, and I still have all the emails with the order number if somebody can look it up and find what My Best Buy ID it was tied to. I also have the second member ID, the one I created while on the phone with customer service - and the current (WRONG) one.
You see how this is just one massive problem? I want to solve one thing at a time, though. If one of the Community Connectors is able to move accounts and memberships around, please let me know and I'll shoot you a private message with details. My first priority is simply getting that Gamer's Club Unlocked membership back as I did pay for it and want to buy some more video games, but I've been holding off since I haven't been getting that discount. I can worry about getting the stuff moved over from the account in my mother's name after that.
Thanks

Hi drfsupercenter,
Thank you for taking the time to sign up for the forum and connect with us.
After reading over your post, I can definitely see how everything involved may seem complicated; however, I am confident that I can get everything straightened out for you. There is no reason why you should have to call into us over and over again or wait week after week for a resolution. The terms of the My Best Buy program are pretty direct, so I believe any level of frustration could have been avoided.
A My Best Buy account (formerly Reward Zone) is intended to be used by a single member, and a member is not to share their account, benefits, points, or certificates with anyone else. If the account was in your mother's name, then it should have only been actively used by her. When it comes to merging multiple accounts the name on each account must be the same. While there are occasions where we can change/alter the name on an account, we cannot completely change a name.
I looked over your account history using the email address you registered with the forum and see that two accounts were merged a few weeks ago. If any purchases you did not make were somehow merged with your primary account, then I should be able to remove them. I would also suggest that we make sure the information associated with your account is up-to-date. You do have an active Unlocked membership, so we may just want to have you relink your accounts (My Best Buy and BestBuy.com).
I want to apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced, and I would like to gather some additional information and go over your My Best Buy account with you, so I will be sending you a private message. To check your private messages, you will want to login to the forum and click on the little yellow envelope icon located at the top of the page. I look forward to further speaking with you to see what I can do to help.

Having trouble with Kingston 4gb RAM. Please help!

So I ordered Kingston 4GB PC2-5300 667/533 MHz Dual Kit for my Macbook and I'm having so much trouble installing it. I can't get BOTH 2GB sticks to work at the same time, it will ONLY let me use ONE 2GB stick at a time in either slot. It works when I have BOTH ORIGINAL memory sticks. If I try ONE new Kingston RAM + 1 OLD 512 mb RAM, it doesn't work either. I've tried almost every combination, and the only thing that works is:
2 slots with 2 sticks of OLD original RAM 512 MB
OR
1 slot with 1 stick of NEW 2GB kingston RAM (either slot, but only one stick)
Has anyone had this problem?! I have no idea what to do...
Thanks!!!

OH so it can only take 2 GB RAM in the first place.. oh DARN! Thanks for clarifying though!!

Severe iTunes trouble with receiving a gift! Please help.s

Someone got me a gift on iTunes, Season 1 of 30 Rock, and maybe I clicked redeem twice or something because its downloading season 1 twice! Its really annoying because it downloads episodes it already downloaded again and since its video it takes up a lot of time.
The problem is if I delete the download it comes up again when I reopen iTunes and it checks for purchases.
Can anyone help me?
Also, know that I deleted the downloads in the downloading area, I can't play the episodes. All of Season 1 downloaded right, and I deleted the extra Season 1 in the downloading section. So I click to play an episode and it says "do you want authorize this content to play on your computer?" I have no idea why it would ask me that since I've only been downloading this gift on this computer, but I put in my password and click authorize anyway. Then it says that this computer is already authorized I have used 3 out 5 computers (which makes no sense at all). So then I click it again figuring it will play but it just asks me to authorize again.
Any help with this would be great I'd hate to have my family's gift go to waste!

Wow, you have a couple of things going on here.
+this computer is already authorized I have used 3 out 5 computers (which makes no sense at all).+
First, it looks like one PC may be using multiple authorizations. I suggest deauthorizing that PC until it tells you it isn't authorized. Then restart your PC.
This article is for itunes 7 but it works the same for itunes 8:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1206
Don't forget to restart your PC - that is important.
After it restarts, try to play an episode - it will ask you to authorize your PC, but only once this time.
And after doing all that, does it still try re-DLing those episodes?

Trouble with sync'ing new iPod, please help!

So I jsut spent the last hour plus on the phone with Apple, and the problem I'm having is that I need to Microsoft XP Service Pack 3 installed for iTunes to work with the new nano. The snag is that I'm using my work computer and it won't let me install that new service pack (I'm currently using service pack 2). Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anyway I can get the new nano to work with service pack 2? I just bought this yesterday so I don't want to bring it back unless I have to.

You need administrator privileges to install service pack 3. If you are not the administrator, i suggest that you talk to someone who is. You said that this is your work computer. Is it on a network? Do you have an IT guy who can help you? Sorry that i cant be of much help, but you need to elaborate the problem.

Having trouble with Touch Up Text Tool - Please help!

I am trying to edit inside the PDF document and have done so i
n the past with other projects. I keep getting this error message pop up when I try and typ
e.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e333/Smurf209/AdobeErro.jpg
What can I do that would allow me to edit inside this doc?

Thanks! I installed the font and I can edit in the document!
I thought about doing this, but it seemed too simple. LOL
For those that this isn't working for...I used this guide to install the font:
Windows XP
Double-click on “My      Computer.”
Under “Other Places,” click      on “Control Panel.”
If you are using the Classic      View, click on “Fonts.”
(If you are using the Category view, click on “Appearance and Themes.” Under      “See Also” on the left-hand side of the screen, click on “Fonts.”)
In the Fonts window, select      the File menu, and choose “Install New Font.”
Navigate to the folder that      contains the fonts you want to install.
OpenType fonts purchased online from Adobe will be in the location you      decompressed them to.
Select the fonts you want to      install. You can click to select one font, Control-click to select several      fonts, or Shift-click to select a contiguous group of fonts.
Press the “OK” button to      install the fonts.
Close the Fonts control      panel when you are finished.
The fonts are now installed and will appear in the font menus of your      applications.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I can't access my icloud account , please help

I can't access my icloud Account, please help .

How are you trying to access it? You can't access the iCloud website on Safari on an iPad, you have to sign in in Settings>iCloud and access the data through the relevant apps.
Have you successfully set up an iCloud account? Can you log in at http://icloud.com on a computer? What operating system are you running on your iPad?
Do you get an error message when you try to access it?
You really need to post more data with a question like this, just 'I can't access' doesn't really allow for any sort of answer.

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders . How to disable this? Does my PC folders are also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks

Hi, All. Iam using Adobe Document Cloud. After saving a pdf document to this cloud, I am able to see my PC folders as well with a browsing option . How to disable this? Does my PC folders will also available across other PC's to access them with my Adobe ID? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi indi68632954,
I can understand your concern & you need to worry about this, as your PC folders won't be available on other PC's as this option is just to browse through the files of the specific system on which you are working as shown in the screenshot below.
Only the files uploaded on the Document cloud will be available over Internet using Adobe Document Cloud service upon the authentication of your Adobe ID & password.
I hope this will answer your query.
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to assist you.
Regards,
