[ URGENT ] - Skype website that gets your IP!

This is an urgent topic!
Please read all information!
I've recently been a victim in a host kick... someone asked me skype what was my skype name and then I was kicked offline for 5 minutes!
I later found out this website: skype2ip.org - They state they're partnered with Skype/Microsoft even though they are clearly not...
Could you guys tell me what I can do? These people are giving my IP out when I do NOT want them to.

Did anyone else have endless problems getting your...

I am astonished by BT. As a new customer, I thought I would go for BT as they seem to be pretty reliable once set up which is the main thing I need. I had heard reports that getting your line connected and set up can be problematic, but I never thought it would be as bad as this!!
I applied online on the 25th of Feb and all seemed good with an engineer due on the 3rd March to connect the line and broadband to be activated same day. This didn't happen. After a very long phone call, most of it spent on hold, I was advised that they would call back after 48 hours to let me know the new date for an engineer to visit. I never got a call. After another lengthy cal, I was finally given an activation date of the 11th March. This was interesting since the phone line wasn't connected. Not a problem I thought as I had then received a letter telling me an engineer would come to connect the phone on the 16th. The hub arrived on the 11th as expected, the engineer on the 16th. This is not the end of the story!! I am still waiting for the broadband to be activated!!! After the engineer left, still with no broadband, I called BT and it turns out that they never activated it. They are looking into when they will be able to do this and will give me a call back!!!!!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I am at serious risk of going bald after ripping all of my hair out in frustration!!! Is it worth waiting a bit longer or should I just cancel the whole order since they have yet to deliver the service I have subscribed to?!?! If I ditch BT, does anyone have any suggestions about who I should go with?!

Thanks for the email!
Here's the latest:
I have phoned somebody at BT everyday since the 16th, always being told I would get a call back within 24hrs, but never getting that elusive call back. I have to say that everyone I have spoken to has been very friendly, looked into the problem for me, and has done everything that they can to help, it seems that it is the teams they pass the query on to that are the problem. The lady I spoke to yesterday credited my account with a months broadband as an apology for all of the problems which is nice.
I got a text message and a couple of emails in the early hours of the morning today saying my broadband was active and ready to use. It isn't. I phoned again today and was told to ignore the messages as they are wrong. My new (this is the 4th one now) activation date is the 26th. So this means that thanks to the credit to my account, I am not paying for something that I don't have! I might as well not have bothered placing the order in the first place as I'd be in exactly the same position I am now, but would have had time to eat lunch on my lunchbreaks instead of spending them on the phone to BT!
Anyone want to place a bet on whether I will be connected on the 26th or not? Maybe it will be 4th time lucky! Personally I really doubt it. Order will be cancelled if they fail this time.

Hello, I have a 5min. part of a piece of meditation music (I think its from the 1970-80s) is there a website that can upload my sample and tell me who it is ? I want to get a new version....Thanks

Well... it's not actually an iTunes or even an Apple question is it? But you can use either Shazam or Soundhound.
If you do a search for both of them, you will find the various options available to you, which include apps for portable devices and in the case of Shazam, a work-round that allows you to use an online option using your computer's microphone on either a PC or Mac.
There may be other services as well, but I know these two.
I do not receive any reward (financial or otherwise) as a result of mentioning either Shazam or Soundhound.

I need to access a website that is not Netscape compatible. Where can I get a Firefox add-in that emulates Internet Explorer?

Need software that makes Firefox act like Microsoft Internet Explorer so that I can get into a website that will not interact properly with Netscape, which is apparently used by Firefox.

The following Add-on uses the Internet Explorer installed on your system to display a page in an IE tab in Firefox. There are several Add-ons to perform that function, but I have had the most success with the following:

Old Skype Number that I do not want keeps getting ...

I had a skype number that expired almost a year ago, but I keep getting autobilled for it. Fortunately I did not have sufficient funds in my pay pal account. How do I deactivate this? I want to get a new number - but not until I can resolve this. Please help!

Hi, Eastriver,
Thank you for your further explanation. The fact that you do not see the Skype Number subscription on your Skype account details and purchase history is mystifying; please contact Skype customer service to sort this.
The process ought to be as simple as cancelling a subscription:

I click "Visit your website" and get a SORRY page

When at my website pages on my desktop (the working pages), I click onto VISIT (your website) and I get that SORRY we couldn't find it page. The URL that shows in the address field is:
http://web.mac.com/lorna6/Websiteof_LornaAlexander/Welcome.html
In fact, my website URL is: http://web.mac.com/lorna6
I don't know why the rest of it (Websiteof_LornaAlexander/Welcome.html) got appended to it.
When I delete that extra part and then click on the part that is the true URL, I still get that SORRY page.
As well, there are certain pages in the website that do not open--- they yield a SORRY message as well.
I just today updated my previous iWeb '06 to the new version, iWeb '08. I am doing this all on my new Intel iMac.
If you can help I would be happy.

Roddy hello again and thanks for your suggestions. Might I ask some further questions? Ok.
1. You wrote: “Double click the index.html file and your first page should come up in the browser with a URL something like....
file:///Volumes/username/Web/Sites/WebsiteName/PageName.html
WebsiteName and PageName are what comes after - http://web.mac.com/lorna6/ - to complete your URL ”
Question: Those are statements that you wrote, but given that information, what action must I perform? What must I DO?
2. You say to log in to .Mac account and check the settings. What about those settings should I be checking?????
3. You say to run the Keyhchain Access to make sure the upgrade to Leopard didn't change things there. Question: Where do I find Keychain Access and how will I be able to know/make sure that Leopard didn't change anything? It wasn't an upgrade, either. It was a clean install on this brand new Intel iMac, 24“ monitor.
Whew! *-)
Roddy, I hope I haven't tired you out with my questions.

What is a website that can assist with getting student loans under control?

I've seen in previous post people refer others to a website that will assist you in getting your loans under control. I have multiple loans with different loan companies and I want to speak with someone to guide me through getting on the right track? Does anyone know the website?

The National Student Loan Data System is a good place to start. It will list all of your Federal student loan debt - including the amount borrowed, currently owed, status and who holds the loan. You can use this site to put together a list of who you need to contact. This system does not include private student loans, so if you have any of those you'll have to turn to your original paperwork, records from your school, or your credit report. This DoE website is a great overview of the different loan programs - it covers borrowing, repayment options, and how to get out of default (among other topics). There is no reason to pay someone to help you manage your federal student loans. Every servicer and collection agency is required to give you access to the same repayment options and pathways out of default, and you can handle it yourself, for free. If you have questions about a specific step of the process, these forums are a great resource as well.

Buyer Beware - Verizon is a company that is only out to get your cash and leave you with trash.

Verizon is a company that is only out to get your cash and leave you with trash. Verizon has mastered deception. Do not get strung along like I did by calling in and letting them try to fix anything-they are there to make sure you get past your 14 day return period so you are locked into a new 2 year contract and can’t take back any of the accessories you bought for your product. If your product does not work out of the box, RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY, do not call in for tech support and take back any accessories you bought for the product as it also has the 14 day policy too. First off let me say that as far as the PHONE SERVICE, it has been great…however…here is what I have experienced with the 3G Droid Bionic and Verizon. I decided to get the Droid Bionic 4G since they are supposed to have 4G service in my area. It’s either their service or the product that is not 100% 4G like my 3G HTC Imagio is 100% 3G, the so called "4G" Bionic flips in and out. I can’t count how many hours I’ve been on the phone with techs at Verizon and Moto but each time, they all had something different to say, but nothing ever worked and if it did, it didn’t work for long before it went back to the same flip flop. There were several other issues as well but too many to list, but one is that when I was tethered and would get a notification it disconnected from the internet...NOT SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN. I had a specific need for the 4G and since it doesn’t work, I don’t NEED it. The biggest lie I bought into is that MOTO is/was supposed to release a software update that is supposed to fix the flip flop 3G to 4G. I talked to a tech tonight at Verizon that was honest enough to tell me that if there was one that was going to be released (within my 14 day period) that they would have been notified of that. Well guess what, he doesn’t have any notices. But every person I talked to at Verizon said there was going to be an update, is it another one of those…no one knows their butt from a hole in the grown or was he telling the truth. Well it makes sense now that when I was talking with the second level tech at MOTO he didn’t know what the heck I was talking about. There’s your proof that the people you call and talk to at Verizon are devious, deceptive jerks and are only out to make money off us and could really care less that you just spent a bundle of money on a piece of cow dung and that their only goal is to keep you tied into the 2 year contract. After talking with the last tech at Verizon that told me there was no notification of a software update coming from MOTO or at least not in the next two weeks, I decided to take back all my accessories to the Verizon store in my area and return the Bionic tomorrow. But guess what, unlike the rest of America where the return policies are 30 days, Verizon also changed the return policies on the accessories too. So I’m stuck with over $100 of “STUFF” that cannot be used on any other phone. My bad, I didn’t have my reading glasses, look 12 inches down the long small print page to see that it said 14 days, when I bought the “STUFF” and I didn’t know that Verizon’s changes applied to the accessories in there stores too. Why is this and issue because Verizon did have me buy another Bionic phone under a new 14 day policy but because I didn’t realize that same policy applied to the hardware at their local stores, I’m stuck with the “STUFF”. Guess what Verizon; you devious, deceptive jerks, what goes around comes around. You are going to get to know me real well in the coming days, weeks, months and years; I’m going to picket until the freakin cows come home and hopefully get on the local news channels too. I’m going to hopefully create a nationwide movement that will either ruin your company or force you to restore the 30 day policy and I don’t care if you try to sue me that will be even better as it will draw even more attention. Money is hard to come by these days and I’ll not let you screw me over like this and get away with it. Because you are treating your customers like cow dung, I WILL NEVER extend my contract again; when this contact ends I’m switching to another cell provider. I’ve been with you since 2004 but tomorrow I’m switching my family’s phones over as soon as possible since they are not under any contract; this I hope will catch on and others will do the same. We can support the other companies and help them grow so that they can also provide better cell service and then we the people will have a choice, NOT TO GET SCREWED. Verizon, you are going to be the reason that a lot of time is going to be wasted in your stores because of processing numerous returns and a lot of Fed Ex charges on you for people retuning your trash items…unless you want to get it right the first time and or BECOME AMERICAN again and restore the 30 day policy. Verizon’s 4G network and or MOTO products still have so many bugs in them that you might as well keep your 3G and wait for another year or so until they fix everything and stop their devious, deceptive tricks, restore the 30 day policy and start selling products that work out of the box. Verizon, you wouldn’t be the first large company that is going to fall if you keep doing this kind of business. See yea on the news. One comment for Moto: Do you really want to associate yourself with a company that treats their customers like this? I guess Birds of a feather flock together…and get shot together. Yours Truly, One very, very, VERY angry customer

How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this? I can't find the place

I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

[Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

Why do I get an error message that says "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates?"

I am trying to purchase a printable gift certificate from iTunes, and I keep getting an error message that says, "Your Apple ID is not eligible to purchase gift certificates." You can purchase gift cards from retail locations. I can't do this because I live overseas. I've tried deleting and re-adding my credit card information, and I've submitted a support ticket to ask for help. I see from my Google search that this is not an uncommon error message to have, but I can't find a solution!

No, I am a US citizen living overseas, but I am going through a VPN and I am using a US-based credit card. I have no problem purchasing apps, just purchasing gift certificates. I'm going to try gifting the app to the person I am purchasing for until Apple straightens this out for me.
