Why did my phone number change?

When I use my skype phone to call my cell phone, the number has changed to one with a different area code and number. What's going on?

If you didn't change your Online Number, you may want to check your Caller ID settings to confirm your number is being used for that. Click on the Account link in the upper-right corner, log in, and you should see your Caller ID settings. Caller ID is not automatically enabled, even if you have a Skype Online Number. Also, numbers from some countries cannot be used as Caller ID when calling telephones from your Skype account (Australia and Mexico are two that I personally know can't be used).

Lync User Phone Number Changed in AD - Still Showing Old (Normalized) Number Days Later in Lync Client Contact Detail

Environment: Lync 2013 backend; Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients. Enterprise Voice not implemented. November 2013 CU Applied on Server.
Issue: Lync user (User A) phone number changed in AD but still showing old number for others days later.
Believed Cause: User A has not logged into Lync since change to republish new phone number?
So after reading this http://masteringlync.com/ I am beginning to think that something I perceived as an issue may actually be by design?
Action:
User A work phone number changed in AD. User A has only one phone entry in AD. Normalization rule in place to basically leave number unchanged (working)
Result:
New phone number propogated fine to Exchange/Outlook fine. Old number displaying only in Lync client when viewing User A contact card detail
Lync 2010 Client displays only old number when looking at Client A contact detail (this client only presents phone numbers if they are actually normalized)
Lync 2013 Client displays two work numbers.
One that we identify as a "display number" just as entered in AD - this shows correctly as the new number. Another that we identify as the "normalized number" which is still the old
number (same as 2010 Client)
Same results whether contact is saved in Lync Client or not and is not related to Outlook contacts - in fact one test was with a Lync account that is not Mail Enabled.
I did a dbanalyze to view the SQL database detail for User A and see that Category 'userInformation' has the old phone number and the time stamp on it seems to coincide with a Lync Cllient database change (user login or refresh on that end) so this seems
to futher confirm my findings thus my reaching the point of conceding it might be out of my control.
My Question I guess is ....
Have others discovered this? Is this a bug or do normalized phone numbers actually requre a client login to accept/republish the number correctly to others even though the information is updated in AD? User detail and how it propogates seems to
be the biggest mystery and it gets harder and harder to explain to users why changes aren't displaying accuralely.

Thanks Richard... your blog definitely hit home with what I was seeing but guess I just didn't want to accept that as the end of the road on this. I'm still in a little misbelief that client interaction is necessary to update a backend change.
This process really makes phone numbers in Lync an unreliable source given a user will never know if it is it up to date. And the problem with Lync 2013 client is it shows both numbers in the client ... the address book one with the
updated AD numbers and the one the normalized AD one that the user has to login to republish. I now more fully understand the process but trying to explain that to users when they see different work numbers .. ugh.
Oh well, guess the important part is to understand the process so thanks again.

I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5. Now the format in Itunes is changed. when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device. Why did they have to change this? Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

If someone somehow blacklisted your phone number, you would have to either call them from a number their phone will allow or get them to white list your number.

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

Phone number changed, but old number still shows in iTunes and in contacts within Phone app

My phone number changed, but when my phone is plugged into iTunes, it is still showing my old phone number in the iPhone information box. Also, when you are in contacts from within the Phone app. and you you pull down the list of contacts so it reveals the space above the search field, it says "My Number: (old number)" instead of "My Number: (new number)". I have synced my phone with iTunes since the change and my new number has been updated in my name record in the Contacts app. but the old number is still persisting in the aforementioned places. How do I get iTunes an the space above the search field in the contacts section of the Phone app to display my new number?

Tank you from me too. I have been trying to sort this problem out for a few weeks and getting somewhat annoyed! It's so easy when you know! Thanks again

Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

Hi Patraposo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It is difficult to know why devices behave unexpectedly; however there are several articles on the Support site that can help recover your iPhone if the update did not complete.
If your iPhone will not turn on, start with the steps in the "Power/Battery" section of this article:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
If you just see the "connect to iTunes" screen, the steps in this article can help:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If you see another symptom, feel free to reply with more information.
Best,

Why did my phone unexpectedly shut down

Why did my phone unexpectedly shut down two days later after system update?

Your phone shut down enexpectedly because of a bug in iOS 7. The bug is also present in iOS 7 for iPad 2,3 and iPhone 4,4S. I'm running an iPad 3 and updating to iOS 7.0.4 solved the problem for me. Hope it helped

and why other people have me as 2 different cotnacts in their phones now... One my phone number, and a second contact as my email address... why dont they have me in one... and NO smartass they did not add me as a second cotnact... it happened on its own...
By chance, are you running a Mac with Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2? If so, I noticed something similar.... I now have my phone number and email address for use in Facetime and Messages. Maybe your user friends have not upgraded to iOS6, because both addresses only show in iOS I believe. iOS 5 only shows one or the other address.

Why did the Share dialogue change from display in a frame to not displayed in a frame

Hello,
SharePoint 2013 via TFS install package which installed SharePoint Central Administration v4 and a default SharePoint team site. This is my system:
When I initially started working with my default SharePoint Team Site (SharePoint - 80) and clicked on SHARE, I was able to see the Share dialogue in a
popup frame. I added a single user to the site. I also stopped the site in order to start the Default Web site; I had to do that because I guess both sites are default installed
with the same port number. Then I stopped the Default Web site and restarted the default SharePoint Team Site. I have no idea if these steps are related, I just thought I should mention them.
I later noticed that the Share dialogue no longer appears in a pop-up. Instead I get the following:
Why did this change? Can I change it back? (It's not important to me to change back, I just want to know if I can). If not, why not?
I also notice that this dialogue in a new window behaves oddly. After I add a group or user and click Share, the new window returns to a blank page. I have to close that page and reopen the Share dialogue to add another entity. Is this
normal?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Alan

Not something i have observed.

Voicemail Issues after phone number change

I recently changed my phone number. I programmed the phone per the directions provided and I had to manually go in and update the speed dial for #1 so it would dial my new number. The issue is, if I receive a voicemail, I get the "Listen" link on the screen. If I click that link, it still dials my old number. I have looked through the owner's manual and through the online info on the site but have not found any way to fix this issue.
Can anyone help me figure this out??!?!!?
