Why does Skype require so much info to reset my pw?

Hello, I received an email for my older Skype account saying the pw was changed. I did not change it so I clicked the link to reset the pw where some basic info was requested. (Nothing shady). I was then to be sent a follow up email which seems completely legitimate but the list of required questions is extensive with info I might only have to guess at. Wondering why we need so many questions. As mentioned the site does not seem like a mirror site to me at all. Certificate checks out etc... I just find it odd I need soooo much info to reset my pw and that I already provided some normal basic info in the first email. The list of requested info is below: Full NameSkype NameEmailCountry If you used a credit card, please provide any two of the first six digits of the credit card number and any two of the last four digits of the credit card number. If you used PayPal or Skrill, please provide the email address that is associated with your PayPal or Skrill account. If you used another payment method, please specify which one you used. What email address did you provide when you registered? What is your date of birth (dd/mm/yy)? When did you create your Skype account (mm/yy)? Please provide five names that are in your Contacts list. What is the total cost of a recent order that you have made? Please provide two phone numbers that you have recently called or contacted using Skype. What is your full billing address?What name (first and last) did you provide when you registered for your account?Which country did you select when you registered? Please describe your problem in the box below.

It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

Change Skype Premium settings <-- This link does not work!!
I had spent about 3 hours to cancel my subscription but couldn't.
Really skype is a reliable company? Absolutely NO I think.
They made me angry!!!

Hi,
I understand you are upset and if you still have trouble cancelling your Skype Premium subscription then you can contact customer service as explained here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/How-can-I-contact-Skype-Customer-Service
Most of Skype pages have header menu that includes link "Support"
If you click on it then you will be taken to support site that provides solutions to most common questions. Millions of customers use it every single day and find their answer without the help from customer service.
If you don't find an answer from there then all you need to do is search "customer support" and first link you get is: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/How-can-I-contact-Skype-Customer-Service

Why does Skype suggest contacts to block?

Please help me understand.. PLEASE.. When a user goes to Tools>Options, selects Privacy>Blocked Contacts, there is a list of contacts blocked. Below that is an option to block a contact/s from a list given from skype. I wanted to know why those in particular contacts appear there. Why does skype suggest those particular contacts?/ What was done to make those in particular contacts be on that list?

Hi, misscrowley1, and welcome to the Community,
I never figured out what the logic is behind whose names appear on that list and whose do not. I once thought it may have been the most recently contacted names, however that is not always the case. I think it's random!
Kind regards,
Elaine

Why does Apple require ISBNs when Amazon and B&N don't?

I'm sure this has been discussed, perhaps someone could point me to an answer.
Why does Apple require an ISBN when Amazon and B&N's digital stores don't. In many ways this eliminated many individuals or small presses from selling their books on iTunes. Does Apple specifically not want those not alligned with pre-digital publishing to be able to sell books on iTunes? Perhaps there is something I'm missing here.

Fabini, by the fact that I've uploaded and sold dozens of eBooks on Amazon and B&N without ISBN numbers. They both don't require them for eBooks.
As per Amazon: “An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is not required to publish content with Kindle Direct Publishing. Once your content is published on the KDP web site, Amazon.com will assign it a 10-digit ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to the eBook, and is an identification number for the Kindle Book on Amazon.com. If you already have an ISBN for your eBook, you’ll be able to enter it during the publishing process. Do *not* use an ISBN for the print book edition.”
As per barnesandnoble.com's PubIt!: “You do NOT need an ISBN to sell your eBook through PubIt!. If you don’t have an ISBN, just tell us that you don’t have one by answering No when prompted. In that case, Barnes & Noble will assign an internal 13-digit identifier to your title for you when you submit the title to go on sale.”
Apple is the only of the "big three" eBook distributers that requires an ISBN and that is a bad call and reduces that "democratic" power of eBook publishing. I hope they change the policy soon. Anyone know who the best person to email about this issue would be?

Trying to Burn MP3 CD - Why Does it Require So Many CDs?

I imported a bunch of my daughter's CDs as MP3 files. When I was done, I created a playlist in iTunes and moved all the MP3 files into it. iTunes tells me that I have 304 songs in the playlist, taking up 696.8 Mb. I then tried to burn the entire playlist to CD, but in the course of the burn iTunes told me that the burn would span CDs. After inserting my 4th CD, I stopped the process.
I might be able to understand why this would take 2 CDs (even though I used a 700Mb CD), but why did it require so many more? More importantly, how do I set up iTunes so I can import around 600 Mb of MP3 songs onto only one CD? This would seem to me to be a pretty common process, but iTunes is giving me fits!
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Scott

I have read many threads about similar situations and the only thing I can suggest is buy "music pro cd-r's". My friend and I had the same problem and that solved it, hope it does for you too.

What is kernel_task? And why does it use so much memory?

I have an iMac 27 inch late 2009 purchased new in July 2010. It has a 3.08 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4 GB of Memory. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and just now was unable to save an Excel document to an external hard drive with plenty of space with the warning I did not have enough memory. I went to my activity monitor and indeed there is very little memory and at the top of the usages of memory is kernel_task? I don't know what that is and why it requires so much system memory.
Also, there is an installation I aborted for an app I realized I didnt need and for some reason something it out there still taking system memory and I get a message when I shut down that it can't install. How do I delete that.

DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

What is the privacy policy of Home Sharing? Why does it require an AppleID?

Do devices using Home Sharing upload any usage information--or for that matter, any data at all--about the files being shared, or the libraries to which they have access? Why is an AppleID required, rather than, for instance, any made-up shared key, the way the Windows Homegroup works?

Please see my post above.
As far as I can fathom...Apple TV needs permanent Internet connection else it stops. Whilst it may not actively use the connection 100% of time whilst playing (although I do not know this for sure) as soon az the internet goes down so does the Home Sharing and as Apple TV is reliant on Home Sharing and willonly share content via Home Sharing then Apple TV needs permanent Internet.
Also cannot even turn on Apple TV unless it is connected to the network and this does not mean Wifi only it means Wifi with internet sharing turned on.
No one has been able to tell me how they run Apple TV without permanent internet connection.
No one has been able to tell me how they start Apple TV without internet connection.
No one has been able to tell me how, once Apple TV up and running and internet drops out, how they maintain the Apple TV connection.
Again I ask why does Apple TV need a Permanent Internet Connection?

Why does a browser require fine location information? This might raise privacy concerns.

No. Firefox only requests a location when a website makes a request, and only shares your location when the user has approved the request. Firefox does not track or remember your location as you browse

Why does Magic Mouse use much more battery power than the keyboard?

I have the Bluetooth versions of the keyboard and the Magic Mouse. I use the same rechargeable batteries in each. Yet the mouse has now come to the end of a THIRD set of AAs, while the keyboard still has 60% of its first set.
Why? They are both constantly in use, so why does the Mouse drain batteries so much faster than the keyboard? Viz: the mouse about once a week (two, max), while at this rate, it will be another month or more before the keyboard drains.

Actually I don't! I consider myself a 'power user' in that I will always use the keyboard first, and I learn keyboard shortcuts for nearly everything I do regularly.
I would guess my use is 50:50 at worst?

Why does itunes require me to agree to the terms every time I open it

Since the last update, every time I open iTunes on my computer, I have to agree to the terms, and then also decide whether or not to share my album info. How do I get this to stop?

Update: I'm having the same problem using McAfee Security. I found another discussion related to this problem, and it appears that McAfee Security program may be the root cause of the problem. See the discussion "Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml."
