Why has Skype payments become so unstable

Why is Skype unable to take regular payments?
Why does it refuse to draw money from accounts in credit?
Why does Skype switch payment methods without consent?
Why does it threaten to cut off our Skype phone number and yet provide only a public forum to "chat" about the problem?
Why has it stopped accepting payments for 6 month periods and now insists on monthly renewals?
How can any one rely on Skype as a business partner?
Does no one at Skype realise how serious playing about with peole's phone numbers is, and threatening to cut off customers?
What are the alternatives to a Skype service?

Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

You can't use iCloud to back up your photos. Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, and your iCloud backup would be overwritten by a new backup that doesn't contain your photos if your were to delete them from your phone and keep backing up.
If you want to get them off your phone, import them to your computer and delete them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Why has 'Username' label become 'User name' on sign in Dialog?

I am testing a custom-credential provider with the Windows 10 TCP (build 9926). This mostly works except that the 'submit' button does not appear next to the 'Username' field when our credential provider is installed. On investigating why this may be so,
I have determined that up to Windows 8, the label of the username field was 'Username', now it has become 'User name' (notice the space). I don't know yet whether this is what is causing my problem but has this been changed by accident or planned?
Are there any other changes to the Credential provider architecture that I should be aware of? i.e. changes to GUIDs etc.?

Hi,
I'm not sure, but as far as I know, since Windows 7, the label of UserName field was "User name". There is indeed some changes of Windows Credentials Provider since Windows 8 and you can refer to the document below for more details:

Why has my cursor become very laggy?

Hi,
For some reason my cursor has become very laggy since getting Delayed Write error messages causing my system to screw-up. I finally reinstalled a new Windows on drive D, my old (not working) Windows is in drive C. Now when I scroll pages on the net or in applications it is very slow to respond and is unstable.
This also complies with moving windows. When I move a window it also becomes very jumpy. My system was fine until I got those error messages ages ago. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks

My problems first started when 'Delayed Write Failed' messages just popped up out of the blue.
When this happened my system was completely unresponsive for 10 minutes, I could only move the cursor. I think after a while my system rebooted itself and a got the blue screen checking my disks for errors.
After waiting for that I logged back in to find that my cursor 'jumps' shortly after several seconds of moving it. What I mean is I can move it fine for like 2 seconds but then it pauses very shortly and quickly resumes, 'leaping' to what ever direction I was moving it in, so I lose where I was pointing it to.
A few login's later and the error message popped up again - totally uncalled for. I was only using a software to edit videos when it popped up again. Well, after this I ended up switching my laptop back on to find 'Windows\System32\Config\System is corrupt or removed press 'r' to begin repair on Recovery Console using your Windows CD'.
I get to the screen and press 'r'. I don't know what to type in to fix my installation of Windows (drive C) so I hit exit and chose 'new installation' instead. It asked me to save my new Windows onto drive C or D. Drive C has everything on it, my pics, music, docs and most importanly drivers and programs - mainly the Toshiba stuff I need. I'm afraid if I chose to install on drive C all the stuff mentioned above would be wiped clean. Thank goodness for drive D then, so D it was.
When Windows finally installed on Drive D, I discovered my cursor was the laggy one as before and now a new problem; scrolling pages; and moving windows. It's very slow to scroll and it's so unstable it takes me to the top or bottom of the page when I move the scroll bar in that direction. Moving windows is very jumpy and unstable too.
So there you go, that's my problem. Thanks for reading.
P.S If someone could tell me how to repair Windows on drive C, I would be most grateful.

Why has my Firefox become so slow, even though I don't have any add-ons?

The settings tell me that I don't even have any add-ons installed. But FIrefox is still very slow, especially on those bigger sites.
Resetting Firefox doesn't help either..

''However, Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.670.1 has been blocked...''
The Java Deployment Toolkit plugin (also called Java DT) is a specialized plugin designed for web developers and network administrators and is not related to your general usage of Java (and is not required to be running to enable Java content in the browser.) It's "highly unlikely" this is the source of your browser slowdown. Oracle likes to "bundle" this plugin with Java SE for unknown reasons. Mozilla still considers Java DT to be vulnerable, and has considered it to be vulnerable for a long time...that's why you see this message (and probably will continue seeing it, unless you delete the plugin.) You can delete this plugin from the list of firefox plugins, but it will probably come back when you update Java. If you're interested in reading/talking more about specifically Java DT, we made a thorough discussion thread at the mozillazine support forum here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2877359
Sounds like you could benefit from disabling all Java content in the browser. How that is accomplished is explained in the above thread.

Why has my payment gone through but it still says trial expired on my creative cloud?

Somebody help

Hello Joseph,
did you try to sign out and after that went back to your CC, by inserting your Adobe ID?
On the other hand you should have a look there:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=CCSN_membership-account-payment_change-or-upgrad e-your-membership and/or for further questions you should click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
Good luck!

Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
If that doesnt pass,
Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

Why has my phone book just become invisible in my bmw 5

why has my phone book just become invisible in my bmw 5

Well--let me see if I can explain myself better. If I take my HD footage from the browser to the viewer
it looks fine. The persons head is in full frame. At fit to window it sits @33 %. I then drag it into the timeline and at 25% i have this teeni frame that is now in the Canvas with only the part of the head showing and the parameters looking more like something for DV footage and not widescreen. The fit to window reads 83%.
Again--this is only happening with the one clip even though it has the same specs as the others.
Still miffed as to why this is happening and if this is what I'm stuck with.

Why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

I'm not sure that I fully understand 'tethering' other than linking to a 'master'. Nor do I quite know how to answer what I was doing when connecting--I have been trying to connect for some 8 hours now, trying multiple ways around the problem. I guess my main problem is I don't actually understand the technical action underpinning a connection. So I try narrowing down the options and then restoring each action.
I have been trying to work out where the network failure exists--in my laptop or in my iphone. I have gone back through apps, and whether these were connected through iTunes or not.
I haven't tried connecting my phone to a printer or an iPod. I only mention them because my lap top is also failing now to pair with my iPod, and I wondered whether the fault is from my laptop's network connection, rather than my iphone's network connection.
My laptop wireless connection with my printer has not been disturbed despite the network being unavailable. -- I only mentioned that as an indication that whatever the 'network' was that was unavailable, it was not the network connecting my laptop and printer.
I am grateful for your interest.

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

Why is skype no longer signing in automatically?

Hi,
On my computer (Win XP SP3), I have skype (5.3.0.120) set to sign in automatically, but not start automatically. Normally, when I click on skype in the start menu, it automatically signs in and goes straight to the main window with all my contacts and everything. Today, when I clicked on skype in the start menu, it gave me a log in screen. It remembers my user name but it is asking me to put in my password. (The 'sign me in when skype starts' box is still checked.) Why would it suddenly ask for the password? I am not aware of any updates this morning (and past updates have not resulted in this behavior). Is this a known issue with skype today, or is it possible my computer has been compromised? Is it safe to put in my password to log in to skype?
Thank you!

The problem, that Skype does not start when you start windows/logon, seems to be with version 5.5, both the Standard and business versions.
The simplest workaround is to disable the "Skype starts when I start Windows" setting and then add a shortcut to Skype.exe to the "Startup" folder.
This implies no changes of any setting of Internet Explorer or otherwise and can easily be reversed by removing (deleting) the shortcut.

Suddenly my I pad won't charge. A box appears saying 'this accessory is not supported'. What accessory? What does this mean? Why has it suddenly happened? What do I do?

Hi Eileen,
With iOS 7, the devices have become more sensitive to the type of cable that is being used to charge the device. I have found that with my iPhone 4, once I upgraded to iOS 7, it became a little more sensitive to even my iPad charger. It doesn't always recognize it if I just plug it in, but if I slide it in slowly until I hear the charging tone, then I can push it the rest of the way in, and everything works as it should.
Any chance the cable is bent or frayed? How long have you had the device and cable? If it is under a year old, take it into the Apple Store (device and cable) so you can show them what is happening. They should replace your cable.
Cheers,
GB
