Voice your concerns over the recent "Always Online...

If you have more than 1 device on which you installed Skype, a recent "feature" will have you appear "online" 24/7/52/365 if you do not manually sign-off skype on all of your devices. Simply un-plug your devices, turn off your devices, shutdown your devices won't help. You will still appear "online" ghostly unless you manually sign-off and in some cases, "quit" Skype.
I called this "feature" many names. Please vote this thread up to demand a fix from Skype ASAP.
I personally gave Skype two weeks to get their %$!& in order.

Dear Readers,
May I suggest and recommend that this discussion be continued in this thread?

  • From a Guest: I'm simply amazed at the level of Denial from AndroidFans over the (recent court decision). In spite of blatant, in-your-face Patient Infractions..I read the viseral comments from SamsungFans. Many Kudos to Apple for Standing-Your-Ground.

    Simply a comment from a TMobile/Nokia user:  I am flabberghasted at the totally VisceralComments&Denials of Android Fans over the recent Court Decision.

    My wife loves her 3GS and I can hardly wait till my TMob contract (11 years) is up in October. Hope to switch to Verison or Sprint so I can get a 4GS.
    Just last week-end, at Best Buy... I lined-up all the latest cellphones on one table (yes, they allowed me to try it) and it looked like a CookieCutter's Factory.
    ONE phone stood-out: the 4GS.

     No, you should be concerned about the friends you have at your place.  If you think they will do that, I'd suggest you get some more trustworthy friends.
    Take some personal responsibility to protect your internet service.
    Personally I only use a wired ethernet connected laptop and have wireless turned off, so that concern is mitigated.

  • Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud

    tl;dr: iPhone works properly with iTunes 11.1 and iPad does not. Can't sync with both iTunes and iCloud to separate, distinct Calendar/Contact/Notes groups.
    Explanation:
    Ever since iTunes 11 was released (I'm on 11.1 now) I'm unable to sync Contacts, Calendars, and Notes via iTunes because I'm using over the air syncing from iCloud. As late as iTunes 10.7, this was okay, because "On My PC" groups would sync perfectly with iTunes, and iCloud groups would sync perfectly with iCloud.
    In fact, this still works, today, but only on my iPhones.
    However on the iPad I get the message "Your contacts are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud." (Well, yeah, I know that. My iCloud contacts should continue to sync via iCloud. I don't want to turn off this behavior.)
    The "workaround" used to be sticking to iTunes 10.7, which had correct behavior for both iPad and iPhone. Of course iOS7 nuked that option.
    Is anyone aware of another workaround? (Merging my professional Outlook stuff into my iCloud stuff is not a workaround.)

    I can place a bounty. $20 USD to your Paypal account for a fix.

  • HT1296 I'm trying to sync the calendar from my phone on the my new mac. the "sync calendars" blurb in iTunes says, "your calendars are being synced with your iPhone over the air from iCloud".. not nothing is happening. what to do? what to do?

  • This is how to wake your desktop over the internet via WRT54GS!

    Assuming you've read how to configure the BIOS and Network adapter, this is what needs completed on the router.  If you search this subject you'll discover a gazillion threads about failure.  I tried hard for several weeks, only being able to wake it over my LAN, but never over the internet and then abandoned the whole idea months ago, but tried it again today with success.  I had my brother in law test the configuration from 500 miles away - Indiana to PA.  I Port Forwarded  and Port Triggered to port 1649 but you can select a different port.  I enabled  Wireless Access and Remote Management in Administration.  Months ago I believe I'd tried Port Triggering without the Administration settings and, with Administration settings enabled, without triggering.  Now the most interesting thing is after the initial test I re-enabled the routers Firewall and I was still able to wake the PC.  I also set up a rule in my software firewall to open port 1649.  I'm not sure that is necessary, since in theory the pc and the firewall are off.  Now my external IP is not static, however, it never, never, ever changes so all other settings were just default.  One thread I read one time was a person could only wake the PC in the first 30 seconds after shutdown.  I haven't tested that problem.  I'm also going to retest Port Triggering without Wireless Access and/or Remote Management enabled.  Give it a try and good luck!
    I edit!  So I just woke it up without Wireless Access and Remote Management enabled or the port open in the software firewall.  I went through a VPN tunnel, however, not 100% sure that is a valid test.  It would seem that triggering and not just forwarding maybe the key!

    Hi Jasbryan,
    If RV220W doesn't forward UDP to a broadcast address, could you ( i.e. Cisco) provide a tools for sending WOL Magic Packet to the LAN on Router Device Manager page?
    I see many routers also provide this tools from their manager page.
    Thanks.

  • Should I be concerned with the recent news about Java on my mac

    Have been hearing all the news about the concerns with Java from Homeland Security and that users should disable from their computers temporarily.  I am by no means a techie, however I see that Mac uses Java applet.  Is this something I should look at temporrily disabling from my Mac?  I wasn't sure how to proceed.  Can some one give some advise and in layman terms.......

    Java is only a potential problem if you have it installed and enabled in your Internet browser. Safari has had it disabled as the default for a while now.
    To check to make sure it is disabled in your browser. Open Safari->Preferences->Security and make sure Enable Java is not checked
    Note: Java and JavaScript are two different languages and are not to be confused. JavaScript is fine to have enabled.

  • Any concerns about the recent SDM v. 1.0 update's security?

    Hello,
    In reading the Permissions section I see that this update can, among other things:
    1. add or modify calendar events,
    2. end email's out without my knowledge,
    3. share content,
    4.modify my contacts
    5. etc,
    6. etc.
    To be honest, this spooks me a lot and I am wondering if all this kind of sharing has been going on on my S3 since I started loading contacts and using the calendar vice an old-school paper Day-Timer.
    I would appreciate an thoughts form the community...

    Friend just got the message that this update was available, he was not sure it was a legitimate update.  however we did some searching and found that the Verizon support web site specifically addresses this update, which put my friend at ease.  Verizon already know's all your business, I do not believe that this new update will change or increase that.

  • Any concern over the inability to change the ODSCOMMON password?

    The oidpasswd utility changes the password for the ODS account and for the ODS_SERVER role. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the password for ODSCOMMON, which is the account that is actually used by OID when connecting to the database.
    All of the privileges are granted to the ODS_SERVER role, which is password protected. So, a malicious user can't get in and change data. However, the user could drop the synonyms owned by the ODSCOMMON account, or perform other denial of service attacks, such as changing the password or locking the account.
    I have been a little too scared to test this, but I assume that it would pretty easy to break OID in this fashion.
    Is anyone else concerned about this, and have you developed any workarounds?

    Is the AirPort Express device "creating" the Apple c0073 network or is it joining a wireless network that is created by another wireless device?
    You definitely should be able to change the network name unless the current name is being created by another device. After you change the wireless name, you need to make a wireless connection to it by joining the "new" network by its new name or by using an Ethernet cable connection.

  • Data, voice, video & fax over the satellite link

    Hi,
    We have a requirement for Cisco voice to be implemented at our satellite teleport. This is basically to connect our teleport location HO to Barge (sea platform - rig) via the satellite. At the rig we would require data, voice, video & fax services. The satellite WAN BW is 256kbps. The Barge users will use four telephones, one fax & will do videoconferencing. They will communicate with teleport HO & use the PSTN for internationatal dialling using the HO voice gateway.There is no Cisco call manager in place. There is PBX (Brand-NEC, Model- NECX 2400) system at the HO.
    Appreciate if somebody can recommend as to what would be the best way to provide voice, fax & video connectivity to the users in the barge.Thanks.
    Rgds./
    Sack

    Buy Unified Communications Manager, SageCom XMediusFAX, and a Cisco ISR G2 router for the head office to provide PSTN calling and faxing support. Buy a second ISR G2 with Unified Communications license, the appropriate CME license count, and a ISM running CUE for voicemail. Configure UCM and CME to communicate using a SIP trunk and configure QoS on the satellite to prioritize the voice and signaling traffic. You will not get video calling across a link that small.

  • Can you preview an event in Ical, using Lion, by moving your mouse over the event?

    I have been trying to fougure out to problems in Ical, using Lion.  There does not seem to be anyway to preview an event accept by double clicing the event.  I also do not understand why there is not a drop down menu to choose the month of a new event or when you change an event.  I hope there is a way to change to a drop menu for the month, it is such a waste time to have to type the date in every time.  Any suggestions?

    The only problem is, that I can't move my mouse to the location I want. I heard you could use the Robot class for this, but it didn't work out as I wanted -I guess I screwed the code up-. So I'd like to know how I'm able to move my mouse, left click and right click, all at custom locations, given using JOptionPane. Could someone please write an easy example of all those things?Well, Robot is meant to generate mouse moves, mouse clicks, and key types, but consider this:
    - if you need this to implement a feature of an application, I find this suspicious (except if you are developing a tutorial feature such as "Help/Show me how to...").
    - if you need this to test an application, you'd better use a higher-level API, such as jfcUnit or Fest-Swing (tons of other exist), that enables you to simulate actions (and check results!) in higher-level terms, such as "click on this button" and "check this label is green" instead of "click at that position x,y", and "peek the pixel color").
    Good luck,
    J.

  • Over the air sync can be changed on your iPhone

    iTunes says that "Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe.
    Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone".
    How do I change that so I can sync my contacts with Windows Contacts? When I tried to sync with MobileMe I lost all of my contacts and I want to get them back on my iPhone.

    Hi,
    I did the same thing deleted my email account and recreated it, went with the same settings and same issues.
    I certainly am not a Mac or iPhone expert, but I can tell you what happened to me then. I obviously had the same issue with "over air sync can be changed on your iphone" and my contacts had been wiped out. I was concerned as I had lost all my contacts off the iphone however my mobileme account had all of the contacts there. I found that all I had to do was give it some time to really sync between mobileme and the iphone contacts. I was being too impatient expecting them to appear instantly once I agreed to the sync with mobileme. I left it for a few hours and the contacts finally syncd.
    Hope this helps

  • How can I turn off over the air sync settings on my Mac iPhone

    Hi,
    For some reason I am attempting to sync my iPhone with my laptop as usual but now in the iTunes app when I attach my iPhone and go to Info, it reads: Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from MobileMe. Over the air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone. So here is the thing, I have looked online and have found nothing at all to show me how to do this on my iPhone. I want to be able to add info on my iPhone and then connect it with my laptop and sync it immediately with my laptop and also to add info on my laptop and immediately sync it with my iPhone. Please help. Thanks

    On your iPhone go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then select your MobileMe account. Turn off the items you don't want synced over the air.

  • How do you clear the recent history list (as this function was lost in one of the last app updates )?

    Since this function was apparently lost in one of the last adobe reader app updates, how now are you supposed to clear the recent history, but retain the files on my nexus tablet?

    Hello,
    That explains why I am no longer able to clear the recent history list...
    I understand that removing/deleting the files from my device will remove the files from my list. However this in not ideal for me, as I would like to be able to go back and look at the papers that I have previously read and then be able to clear the recent list. Also, if I can clear the list without removing the files from my device, I can keep track of what I have recently read, and move those files into a second folder on my device to say that I have read the papers at least once. That way I would still have the papers on my device but can clear the list and know that I have read the papers. Thus I really would like a way to clear your history from the recents list, ideally with the option of clearing individual files from the list, as well as a second option to clear all files from the recent list, while retaining the original files on the device.
    Thanks and have a good day,
              Trevor
