CT: well, it happened to me, again! Some "Entity" came through with a contact request JUST AS (and I mean "JUST AS") the notification popped up that a new Skype update is available. Of course, I blocked (and reported)
So - again, why should people who know that they DO NOT WISH TO BE CONTACTED IN ANY WAY - not via any venue - just by their contacts that they have in their contact list....WHY should we have to bother with people we don't want? IF they do not wish to have themselves "outed" then let them be careful whom they contact. I would go even further and say, if it is someone that is sure one WISHES to hear from them..... via Skype.... then let them add a few personal identifying remarks.. Or call or email prior.... and not just barge in.
WHY IN THE WORLD DO WE HAVE TOOLS>OPTIONS, AND GET TO SAY HOW WE WISH TO HANDLE OUR ACCOUNT, when it isn't taken as serious by Skype-Microsoft?!!!! I'm getting quite irritated by this. All the glitz and glamour about Skype and what all you can do with it.... won't mean much if the user can't have his/her account setting and privacy setting.

Really - I am 100%+ in agreeance with you - WHY? WHY? come on you Gurus answer the million-trillion question posed by me and now VK - who is spitting as many tacks as I am...
All 3 sent me a 'contact' request' - just as I had to update! Needless to say all 3 have been blocked and reported but the point remains...
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR PRIVACY SET FOR YOUR CONTACTS ONLY - THAT AS IN THAT SHOULD BE THE END OF THE MATTER - comprehenday?
Kudos to you VK - a bandaid for the anger that we are feeling...
My tail is twitching and I am still dangit WAITING

Tpa255- okay not to sure IF I can help; I must admit to being guilty of laughing at the attachment but I can see why you are getting 'p***ed off' - I think after a while I would to. Okay I am operating under Vista - 'Word' but the advice that VK (another blogger on this forum) and me give out is 'shut down all the holes' more or less! So follow this: On your Skype programme - open it and go to 'Tools' - click on 'Options' then 'Privacy' now go through the list slowly and ensure that all those 'Options' are ticked as 'People in my contact list only' right through to 'Allow IMS' then the next biggy is those 3 boxes - ENSURE that none of them are ticked ESPECIALLY the one 'allow my on-line status to be shown on the web' - Righto: then work your way through the list - 'Notification Settings' - again, make sure that the boxes stating 'Requests my contact details' and 'send me contacts' are NOT ticked; then 'Call Settings' - ensure that the box 'allow people from my contact list' is ticked and then same for 'IM Settings' - Lastly - yes this is the last bit of advice - ENSURE your Profile is not showing on the web or even really limited - false name and all - see what I mean below - AND you are not 'linked' to Facebook - ensure that your Profile is EXTREMELY limited - put up a false photo / or not! Go as far as not even showing your birthday!
It is a sad world that we live in that we have to put up with these 'slimy balls' that deserve not to live and annoy us so, so much: LenaLynn is in the same boat with 'her generals!'
Remember we are a vast community so a reply just might take time to come through but VK and me do get there to respond! Even though I have mine as 'tight as a barrell' Tpa255 everytime Skype wants to update I get the 'out-of there contact' - so I am not immune either...
I am hoping all this info will help - I will alert VK to you as well and see if VK can check and see if I have overlooked anything and add anything else...
Try to keep smiling ah!

Why did my credit card account get charged $ when I downloaded free app on phone???

Just bought my 1st iphone, I signed up for itunes and downloaded 2 free apps. Why did my account get charged $1 preauthorization.

It's just an authorization hold and will drop off the account in a day or two. It is not an actual charge.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702

TS3276 can't download mail from windows live account. I have deleted and re-set up the account but still won't work. I can go online and access with no problem or get mail from other apple devices.

Not able to get mail from windows live account.

Firefox can find plugins in several locations, but Firefox 21 changed the location of the "shared" plugin folder so older installers like the Microsoft Windows Media Plugin no longer drop the DLL file in the correct location.
There apparently are two ways to address this:
(1) Change a Firefox preference so that Firefox checks the old location. Here's how:
(i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(ii) In the filter box, type or paste '''plugins''' and pause while the list is filtered
(iii) Double-click '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins''' to switch its value from false to true.
This will take effect after you restart Firefox.
(2) Copy the plugins folder to the new location. Here's how on Win 7 64-bit:
Open a Windows Explorer window to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
Right-click and copy the '''Plugins''' folder
Double-click the '''browser''' folder to open it
Right-click and paste
Right-click the new copy of '''Plugins''' and rename it to '''plugins'''
After restarting Firefox, the plugins in that folder should now be available.
''Edit: I suggest just doing #1.''

Windows Live Accounts for Company Phones?

Hi all,
I am hoping you can help.
At the company I work for we are enrolling Windows Phones as the Business phone but to get our Mobile Device management Software on we need access to the Windows Store.
I only need the Live accounts for the store. The users do not need individual Windows Live Accounts
I was wondering what is the best way to sign up 20+ phones so they can get apps from the store?
Any help would be appreciative
Thanks in advance,
Alex

The Windows Phone Store does require a Microsoft Account(MSA) to download apps. This can be either the end user's MSA or a company issued MSA. All MSA's have a 5 device limit on Windows Phone. If you plan to create your own MSAs, note the following:
Currently there is a limit that only 3 Microsoft Accounts can be created per day from the same IP Address. You can request an exception by using the following form:
https://support.live.com/eform.aspx?productKey=wlidipexc&ct=eformts&scrx=1
To submit a whitelist a request please have the following information available:
• Contact Name
• Contact email address
• Customer Name
• Customer Company Name
• Microsoft program the customer needs the exception for
• Company Domain(s)
• Public IP Address(es)
Temporary whitelisting of an IP lasts for 30 days. Whitelisting requests should be within 30 days of the final day of the planned event, but not any sooner, to make sure the IPs in question remain whitelisted through the entirety
of the event.

Windows Live account sync error 86000108

Got my Lumia working well except that Live does not sync, keeps flagging above error code -> calendar and contacts do not sync. My Live account works perfecto on my laptop. Hotmail is about empty, couple of emails from hotmail team, few hundred contacts.
I've tried all the instructions provided by MS support pages (turning mail on/off etc.), but error persists.
Do I really need to hard reset the phone in order to get it working..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello oneFinn,
Sorry to hear you have had such an incovenience with your Windows Live account. But could you tell me if the below method help?
Go to this linkhttp://mail.live.com, sign in to your Windows Live ID. If prompted, finish setting up your mailbox.
Do the same inhttp://contacts.live.comsetting up your calendar if prompted and accepting Terms of Service in this linkhttp://account.live.com
On the phone, go to Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings, and then tap Email & Accounts. Tap on Windows Live and re-enter your username and password information, and then tap Done.
On the phone, go to Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings, and then tap Email & Accounts. Tap on Windows Live, tap Download email from, tap the last 7 days, and then tap Done.
If the issue persists try again later due to this may be related to a temporary service outage. This is better than hard resetting your phone where your data will be wiped. But if you do decide to reset the phone, rememebr to back your data up onto the cloud.

Need to change Windows Live account

Hi all,
The Windows Live account I entered at startup has been blocked after Hotmail told me I was entering the wrong password (turns out I was actually right all along!)
There's now an ongoing 'temporary problem' with resetting the account, so I need to change to a different WL account. I saw somewhere this can't be done.. surely this makes no sense? Can it be effected by doing a complete reset of the phone (Lumia 800) if it comes to that?
Because I don't seem to be able to access that account, I'm without email, updates and apps so far and counting!
AAAArgh!

Yes, I have set up another account with Live, but the phone keeps demanding me to sign in with the Hotmail account (no option to sign in with a different a/c) and I can't find a way of making @live.co.uk the default.

Mail Stopped Receiving Windows Live Account

Mail was working great and then it stopped receiving new mail from my windows live account.
I have deleted the old account and created a new one with no success.

When sending an email through windows live I get an error message from WebKit2WebProcess.exe

Hi,
Every time when I try and send an email from windows live I get an error message from WebKit2WebProcess.exe.
Not sure if I deactivate this from Windows live whether I will compromise my security.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks,
Becky

Thank you Matt. I'm sure this will be frustrating ...but the more I think about this problem there more info I have to share. The emails I write that do not get sent do end up in my "sent" folder but never reach the recipient. And, most perplexing, the issue/problem is sporadic. It was coming and going before I switched over to the SSL/TLS option in T-bird. And...since the switch it has reappeared and disappeared. I have made zero changes other than the above mentioned. I did get a security update today for T-bird perhaps this will help?
I read your link, thank you.
I obviously don't understand how these systems work. I'm baffled how an issue like this can come and go...

Unable to connect Windows Live-account to Skype-ac...

I tried to connect my Windows Live-account to my Skype-account... To bad it din't work...
Now I have to accounts, one with my Windows Live (skypename: live:bart_12) and one with my Skype-account (skypename: bartcloots). Can you please help me to connect my Windows Live-account *edited for privacy* to my Skype-account!

Could you elaborate on "tried everything"?
I am sure that you've already tried the
Remote Connectivity Analyzer. Here are a couple of suggestions:
Same phone, different user account
Same account, different phone
Same phone, different Exchange 2013 (ex. Office 365 account)

Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID?

Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID (because I got a new email address)?

It doesn't change on your device automatically. To change the iCloud ID on an iOS device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

Shared Reminders: How do I stop getting emails when changes are made?

My wife and I both have iPhone 5's that we bought 2 weeks ago. We are sharing a calendar and a "Grocery" list in reminders. I have everything set up where it is working properly but I keep getting emails when a change is made to the grocery list. I don't get emails when there are changes to the calendar.
I want to stop getting emails when there are changes made to our grocery list but I am not sure how to do it. We both have icloud accounts and we both have checked the box under preferences in my calendar for "in app notifications" for icloud invitations. When I open Reminders in icloud I don't see a preferences for reminders.
If it helps , or makes any difference, my wife has a yahoo mail account and I have a hotmail account. She does not get emails about changes being made.
thanks

Did you try to switch Push "off" and fetch to "manually"? This way no mail is delivered until you choose to open the mail app. The moment you open Mail on your device, your mail account will be checked and if any, mail will be delivered.
Fetch New Data
This setting lets you turn Push on or off for MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo!, and any other push accounts on iPhone. Push accounts deliver new information to iPhone whenever new information appears on the server (some delays may occur). You might want to turn Push off to suspend delivery of email and other information, or to conserve battery life.
When Push is off, and with accounts that don’t support push, data can still be fetched—that is, iPhone can check with the server and see if new information is available. Use the Fetch New Data setting to determine how often data is requested. For optimal battery life, don’t fetch too often.
Turn Push on: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then tap to turn Push on.
Set the interval to fetch data: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Fetch New Data, then choose how often you want to fetch data for all accounts.
To conserve battery life, fetch less frequently.
Setting Push to OFF (or setting Fetch to Manually on the Fetch New Data screen) overrides individual account settings.
