Hello, starviewfarmvt. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

    That solution.... wow.... I keep trying to call someone but the call keeps getting dropped. And when they call me the call goes to voicemail even if I answer. It didn't do this about 5 minutes before this and I had not moved whatsoever.

    Hi, Shadowstorm, and welcome to the Community,
    You added your post to a topic (thread) which was related to teleconference bridges - so I arranged to transfer your post to create its own new thread.  Please confirm you are attempting to call a Skype Number ... or your topic is still posted to the wrong message board!
    If you are attempting to call a Skype Number and are experiencing these difficulties, have the owner of the Skype Number contact Skype Customer Service to report this problem.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If they are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, please let them know that they  will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.
    Thank you for clarifying.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Why does my call drop out (one ring only then cuts...

    I had an important conference call - dialled the +1 852 number but call keeps dropping out after 1 ring.  Not very good!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, GCA, and welcome to the Community,
    Not all conference call bridge systems recognize Skype calls; this detail depends upon the land line telephone network and/or the particular conference bridge system.  I have read similar reports of callers not being able to use multi-tiered insurance company telephone systems, although I have not had this experience.

  • Why does drag and drop not work?

    Why does drag and drop not work?

    Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
    If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
    If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

  • Why does my graphic drop out as a pdf?

    I created 4 graphics in Illustrator CS3, downloaded them onto a CD cover template and saved as an .ai file which looks fine. When I attempt to then save it as a pdf, one of the graphics drops out. Appreciate your feedback.

    When I click on Windows, 'Links' is not checked off. When I click  on
    'Links' and open the panel, all 4 graphics are listed but there are no  icons to
    the right of these file names.

  • Why does my iBookPro drop its WiFi connection so often?

    My question: why does my iBookPro drop it WiFi connection so often, and what can I do to prevent it (or at least extend the duration of active connection)?
    I have an iBookPro running OSX 10.9.5, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM.  I think my iBookPro is about 3 or 4 years old.
    What seems to happen is that I will use my iBookPro accessing mail & websites for a few minutes, and then when I try to send an e-mail, mail puts up a message that it cannot send mail with the selected server, so I need to either try a different server or try later.  Meanwhile I notice that the WiFi signal indicator shows full service, but when I run diagnostics it shows that the internet is not connected.  Opening the WiFi icon in the top menu bar shows that it is looking for Networks.  After an indeterminate time it finds the network I have had highlighted and logged into (my WiFi -5G router) since I opened my iBook when I arrived at my office.
    I often find I have to turn WiFi off, then back on, to get connection with the internet. 
    What's going on, and what am I missing?

    Hello jBookProAm, 
    If you are having issues with your MacBook Pro with maintaining a Wi-Fi connection, then take a look at the articles below to get it sorted out. The first article will talk about using Wireless Diagnostics, which you have already done, but also you look at the additional troubleshooting within the article for assistance. You may want to also create a new location as another troubleshooting option and those steps are in the second article.

  • Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Why does my email drop out when I access my group contacts list

    Hi Helen
    I think (from the other forum you posted to previously) that you are asking how to send email to a group in your address book, or other group of email addresses? You will need a third party app to do this, a number of which are available from the App Store.
    Our MailShot Pro app is unique, as it can turn addressbook groups into special contacts that you can use from any Mail-compatible app on your iPad (Such as Mail, Photos, Maps etc.) as though the ability to send to groups were built into your device.
    You can find MailShot Pro here on the App Store

  • If you rub the edge of the fingerprint scanner in a circle, why does the screen drop down?

    MY daughter was drawing circles around the metal part of the fingerprint scanner and noticed the screen contents moves to the bottom of the screen instead of the top. Then it goes back to the top when touched again. Why does it do this?

    That is a feature of the 6 & 6 plus.  I believe it is called reachability.  It moves the furthest section of the screen down to allow for one handed use.

  • Why does Facetime keep dropping my video chats?

    My FaceTime calls keep dropping calls/video calls every 2 minutes. I know its not the internet because I can Skype for hours with no problem. I cant figure it out! Why would this happen?

    are you using I movie?  There is an output in i movie for you tube that i suppose turns it into whatever format they want.  And how long is it?  T think there is a 10 or 15 min limit on you tube for uploads.  I am thinking that the format from your camera is not what you tune wants to see.  If you can get it into i movie, and send it from there, it converts it into what they want.  I think.  (works for me)

  • Why does my signal drop every time I try to use an application.

    I've got a UFO style 802.11g, which I unfortunately kept up to date with the updates.
    For well over a year now I've had my gear set up like this, airport in the den, my wife's older Imac in the den with it, the printer in the den as well and my Imac across the house. Now, everything in the den connects like cake. Always up, always a great signal.
    My Imac across the house has always had it's ups and downs, we've got a stone fireplace and out kitchen in between. Basically, it's 3 rooms away. A whole bunch of walls and corners for the signal to bounce off of. So, I know, not an ideal set up. But it's worked ok for a good long time.
    So, a few months ago I performed the recommended update. It said that it would increase connection quality. So I thought, hey, this might help me out! At first glance my connection seemed great! I never lost a bar, not while I was looking anyway. Then I started noticing that occasionally I switch a webpage or some such and it would tell me that I wasn't connected to the internet. What? I look up and I've got all the bars, so I try again and get through... then I notice the bars just flat out go dead. Now I can't connect again. Odd.
    Ok, so I start paying attention and it just drops out at random... now, the signal used to fluctuate up and down fairly regularly before the update. I'd researched the problem and found out all the things that can interrupt my signal, and basically I've got em all in between my Airport and my Imac. I could live with that, because it would slow down, but it stayed connected for the most part. This was something new.
    Ok, back to the problem at hand. Now I see the signal is either all bars or none. No 2 bars, no 3 bars. Here or gone. And while I'm paying attention, I notice that practically every time I click on something, from my mail app to a preview image the signal drops to nothing. Seemed a coincidence at first, but know I'm certain that it isn't.
    So, random complete signal loss and complete signal loss when I use and app. Really not pleased.
    Ok, so I figured maybe there's a fix on the way, but I've heard nothing of it. I installed the most recent update, absolutely no effect. Oh, and this one too was supposed to provide better connectivity. Where? I'm not seeing it! Everything in the den works just as well as it ever has. That's one of the things I've loved about Mac for more than 10 years. Easy to use and reliable. But this, this is just a big old pain.
    I've tried to extend the network unsuccessfully with the Express. I've got another option to try with that, so my fingers are crossed. But I just don't get why my network is now worse than when I set it up when the only change that's been made have been the updates that I installed at Apple's insistence that my signal would actually be better.
    Sorry for being so long winded, and for anyone who made it this far... is there anything that I can do? I really do prefer to have my office in the room that it's in, but it doesn't help me at all when I have to move my Imac to use it online.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • Why does my iPad drop from my Safari session?

    Since I upgraded my iPad to version 5.0.1 my Safari session drops in the middle of whatever I'm doing. Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi,
    Tap Settings > Safari
    Tap Clear History
    Then tap Clear Cookiees and Data
    Restart your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that helped, clear all the data more often to avoid problems. Not much different then emptying a browser cache on a computer.
