  • Why can't I get a Skype Number for Canada?

    Why can't I get a Skype number for Canada?
    Post transferred to create its own new thread.
    Subject/title amended accordingly.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

    Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
    Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.

    Without explaining what you have tried, it might be hard to answer your question. Providing a little more detail would probably be useful to those that want to help you.

    Have you tried quitting Pages completely, restart the iPad and then go back to Pages and see if they will upload?
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why can't I get TC or Airport Extreme to work in my house?

    I   am very mad at myself for buying a TC in April and now the new one is out!!  I had issues with connectivity with my Airport Extreme and purchased a TC in April thinking that the APE was on the way out and now the TC is doing the same thing....help!!
    I live in an old house with lathe and plaster walls.  The TC is in a closet on the stairwell that is central to the main floor.  We have about 75Mbps download from Comcast but the wireless was getting flaky.  Our iPads, and phones would just loose connectivity and a speedtest.com test would show maybe 6Mbps when we had the APE so we figured the answer was a new router.  After we started seeing some of the same issues with the new TC, I have changed our set up to using the TC as the base station and have the APE (old one) set up in the livingroom as an extention. 
    I am still not sure this is the best way to run this and am really mad that Apple upgraded just after I purchased the TC. Should I just sell the TC and get the new version with hopes that the new antena will help my problem?? 
    BTW, I work for IBM from home so I really need the internet to work to the max in order to get my job done. 

    I work for IBM from home
    Kind of ironic.

    It is the nature of technology.. whenever you buy you are going to be caught by the next wave of products.. let yourself off.. Apple are the most secretive company in the world. Although I was telling people to wait for a fair while before the announcement.
    I live in an old house with lathe and plaster walls.
    The heavier the materials and the higher the moisture content the worse wireless. Older houses often have water problems..
    There is no certainty the new AC model will fix your problems.. and certainly not without AC clients.
    If you have a 75Mbps connection my first test would be ethernet to the TC and test if you can get that.. wireless turned off on the computer and no other clients turned on. Make sure the TC is actually routing at full speed.. people have found the TC can be slow.
    If the ethernet test fails, replace the TC with another brand router.. eg Asus or Netgear.. ones that take 3rd party firmware are my favourites..
    Relegate the TC to backup duties in the local lan by bridging it to the router.
    If ethernet is fine and wireless fails to connect fast enough.. do a proper wireless survey in your home.. use a wireless analysis software.. I don't know the paid one for Mac but istumber is ok.. inssider on pc is really good.
    A full spectrum analysis would be even better but that requires more specialised stuff. But turn off everything you own that is wireless.. cordless phones, av senders, door bells, baby monitors, and the zillion other things that use unlicensed bands.
    Do a full reset of the TC and set names, short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric for both 2.4 and 5ghz bands.. different names.. and set fixed channels and test each in turn.. non-overlapping at 2.4ghz, 1, 6, 11
    For 5ghz down low, 36-40 and one of the high channels is enough.. 150 or greater.
    If you own the house and you do work from home.. run ethernet.. and claim it on tax as business expense..
    Anybody running business should run ethernet.
    Wireless is for toys and hobbies .. the reliability of wireless is really not up to business standards. At least IMHO.. !!
    If the business run wireless.. it comes with products that have the big C on them and cost thousands of dollars. Ask at your local Apple store what brand wireless equipment they run.. it aint apple.

  • If I get a Skype phone number will I get calls and messages on my computer?

    If I get a Skype number will I be able to recieive calls and messages on my computer instead of on a phone?

    Hi, Cry1,CRY1 wrote:
    Yes was the answer which is helpful. If my computer is on but not on Skype how will I know that a call is coming in ...You would not be able to tell if an incoming call is ringing if you are not logged in on Skype.  If you are not signed on to Skype, there are two options:- The call is routed to voice mail- You set up call forwarding to a mobile or fixed line number, either of which requires a Skype Subscription or that you purchase Skype Credit to pay for call fees.-  Look to set up SpinVox, which will send you a fairly good translation of a voice mail message to a text message.  The SMS messages usually arrive within five to 15 minutes of a voice mail being recorded. CRY1 wrote:

  • I can't get a Skype phone number

    When ever I go to the web page, the section that lets me pick a number crashes.
    What can I do to get a number. Can I bypass the web page to get my number? Maybe deal with customer service?

    Hi, General_Fear, and welcome to the Community,
    Silly question of the day: have you tried using a differing browser?   I ask in that sometimes that does the trick for me.

  • How do I get my Skype phone number

    need my Skype address

    Hi, Junior96, and welcome to the Community,
    Not sure what you mean by "Skype address."  Your Skype account name is one of the ways (and probably the easiest way) other people find you on Skype.
    If you refer to your Skype Number, you should be able to find what your Skype Number is by checking your subscriptions information in your account details - sign on to the Skype website using the Sign In link at the top right corner of the website page.

  • Why can't I get my iPod Touch 4 to work properly in my 2011 Honda Fit base model.

    My iPod touch 4 does not respond to the directions provided in the manual. It is not possible to select desired playlists, songs, artists and albums.

    Seems like the car system is not compatible with iOS 5.  Other users have reported similar problems with other car systems and docks. You have to wait for either Apple or Hoda to update their devices.

  • Why can't I get my itunes Home Sharing to work

    Ok, So here is the deal. My iTunes is the most current version 11.0.2. I'm trying to use the Apple Remote apple and the itunes library on my laptop will apear, but my desktop wont. I looked into a problem that had occured to me before with my laptop and foud that it isn't the firewall situation with Bonjour. My desktop wont Home Share, even though it says its on. I realized this because, the share tab wont even apear in my library on my Desktop. My desktop library will not appear in the shared libraries on my laptop. This means that its a problem with my iTunes on the Desktop. I attempted unistalling and reinstalling iTunes in on my Desktop and still my Home Sharing will not work properly. I need help determining the problem and fixing it.

    I am afraid, the HP 5610 (which is in your profile) uses LIDIL (Lightweight Imaging Device Interface Language).
    LIDIL is designed to lower the cost of the printer hardware and shift all the processing normally done on the printer onto the host computer, and hence, it requires a direct USB connection, it will not work directly over the network.
    The only way to share the HP 5610 is to connect it directly to a host computer and use the printer sharing function within the OS.
