Want to download Skype on another computer, keeps ...

This is driving me crazy. I have Skype installed on my laptop, and want to use the same account to use Skype on my Mac. I didn't know you didn't have to create a seperate account, so went ahead and download Skype to my Mac under a new name. When I realised I could just use the original, I 'deleted' the old one (ridiculously, you can't delete it as such, just put a load of XXXX's in the info) and signed in under my first account name and downloaded Skype to my Mac. Maddeningly, every time I do this, it uses my supposedly 'deleted' account name, not the original account I already have with all of my contacts etc- despite being signed in under that name when I download.
I'm truly fed up. Any ideas? Thanks!

Apple typically says that it is your responsibility to backup your purchased music. You can try calling them an asking them to let you redownload them.
Do you know if the old hard drive still works? You can taking it out and adding it to the new computer.

  • ERROR MESSAGE: "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

    I just sigend up for Adobe Creative Cloud and I'm trying to install Photo Shop onto my desktop computer.  When I click the download button I receive an error message saying "Photoshop is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."  I cannot move forward with the download.  Any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem?
    Thanks.

    In my case it's Illustrator and I'm trying to reinstall it. Clearing the cache and using another browser were no help. When I use IE instead of Chrome, an authentication dialog opens to ask permission for CC Desktop to launch, but when I "Allow" it, all that happens is that the CC app opens and gives no indication of a dowload or installation taking place.
    I've always been a strong advocate of CC and was one of the earliest adopters (May 2012), but this is the end of the love affair. I need this fixed immediately. I have work to do. If I had a set-up file sitting on my computer or a disk, I would have no problem right now.

  • I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer to the IPad.  The instructions say to put photos under My Pictures, but I have thousands of photos in that category.  I don't want to download all my photos, just the newest ones.  Help!

    I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer.  However, I have thousands of photos stored under My Pictures on my desktop.  How can I transfer just the newest album to my IPad?  I'm afraid that all the photos will be downloaded.  Please advise.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • If I can't download ios 5 software at home, can I download it from another computer?

    If I can't dowload ios 5 software at home, Can i download it from another computer and save the backup and put it onto my computer?

    No, you cannot download IOS5.

    Anyway you are in the wrong forum if that's what you want.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

    How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

    Do you want to transfer the entire library?  If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder.  Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
    Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

  • How can I download music from another computer's music library to my Ipod without losing my own music?

    How can I download music from another computer's music library to my ipod without losing my own music?

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • My iPod just randomly deleted all my music, but I no longer have the computer where I synced it to. Can I still get my purchased tracks if I download iTunes on another computer?

    If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownlaod some itunes content in some countries:

  • "******* is a desktop app, so you'll want to download it from your computer" - When on your computer

    I'm using Win7 and just looking to download some CC apps to try. Trying to download the trial from the download centre just turns the button into a message that says "Creative Cloud is a desktop app, so you'll want to download it from your computer", but I'm on my computer? I've tried using other browsers, (IE, Firefox, Chrome) none are working. What to do?

    Hi BridgeAV,
    The Creative Cloud app is the one which you install other apps from, you download and install it first, after which the option to install the other apps is available within it. Can you try downloading, installing and launch the Creative Cloud app? It looks like this in the Download Center.

  • I want to download Keynote to my computer that I run 10.6.8 on.  But I get a message that says that I need 10.7.4 or higher.  Where can I find a version of Keynote that I can download to my computer?

    I want to download Keynote to my computer that I run 10.6.8 on.  But I get a message that says that I need 10.7.4 or higher.  Where can I find a version of Keynote that I can download to my computer?

    Purchase Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store. If it reports that 10.8 is incompatible with the system, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu. If the computer has a Core 2 Duo or better processor, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Mac OS X 10.7. If not or you don't want to upgrade, check sites such as Amazon or eBay for the DVD.

  • When i purchase movies and they are held in the cloud and i want to download them to my computer it gives me an error message

    Whenever i purchase movies and they are stored in the cloud and i want to download them to my computer it gives me a connection issue, error 43. i have not had this problem in the past and the only recent change is my internet provider.

    First step: update Photoshop to 7.0.1.
    Second step:  provide sensible information:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • Is it possible to download songs from another computer?

    I have a new ipod shuffle that i just got it recently. I dont have internet connection currently because I'm travelling. Is it possible to download songs from another computer. My main computer would be my laptop.

    Yes but it would probably overwrite the songs currently on your iPod when it syncs to the new computer.
