What is (and isn't!) free with Skype?

I am a "newbie" to Skype & am confused about what is free with Skype Office program! Throughout the site are things like "make free video calls", but calls to fixed and mobile lines seem to require a subscription & an accusation of "cost per minute! How can I make free video calls from Mobile/smartphone for smartphone/laptop computer using Skype without a phone number?

You can do it if Skype is also installed on this computer laptop/smartphone. To make Skype-to-Skype audio and video calls for free, you can not call a number in phone but another user of Skype. To do this, you must do this Skype Skype username (ID) in your contact list.

  • Now that Hotmail is part of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook is with Skype, it's ok to uninstall Windows Live Messenger?

    Each time, starting with Windows Live Messenger 'opens' but is more to accept my login information because Hotmail joined Outlook and Outlook is connected with Skype... so Windows Live Messenger seems to be a redundant nuisance (and Microsoft to my knowledge has not offered advice on this when they said Hotmail users we would be part of Outlook... etc)... so it seems reasonable to simply uninstall... but is it?

    Hello Brygge,

    If you run both Windows Messenger and Skype you should have a notification to upgrade your copy of Windows Messenger to the latest version of Skype. I know that I have received an and after upgrade Windows Messenger disappeared.

    If you don't have the notification, then you should be able to remove messenger through Control Panel > programs and features. In programs and features, look for Windows Essentials 2012. You will find the option to remove Messenger once you clicked Windows Essential 2012 and started the removal process. If you want other applications of Windows Essentials 2012 such as Movie Maker, etc. leave these options checked. Just remove the Windows Messenger tick mark and then proceed with the uninstall.

    iMovie and iLife and iworks Apps are free with the purchase of a new device.

    Since Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 5 s, she cannot be considered more for free apps.

    However, just to be safe, disconnect you from the iTunes and App Stores-> Apple ID in the settings on the new iPhone 5 s, then reset the iPhone in now the home and power buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds. Let the iPhone reboot and then sign in with your Apple ID in iTunes and the App Store and try to get the Apps again.

  • What management software is free with ESXi 4.0?  (re: vSphere, vCenter, etc.)

    I'm new and VMware ESXi, but I'm learning and I'd like to better understand the different management products available.

    I installed the free ESXi 4.0, so what software is available?  (free)

    (1) I can't download "vSphere Client" directly from my ESXi host.  Is this different than 'vSphere' from the VMware Web site?

    (2) what is the difference between vSphere and vSphere Remote Command Line Client?

    (3) I have free access to vSphere vCenter?  This is only used to manage multiple ESXi hosts at the same time?

    Thanks much for any help!

    One of the most interesting free tools from VMware is in my view VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

    vSphere 4 is a suite of products. vSphere client is a product of this suite.

    The host update is a utility that allows you to upgrade a vSphere (ESX or ESXi server) from one version to the other host. You don't need this if you start with the last update of the ESXi 4.0 version 2.

  • Help - what is and what is not available in free version of ESXi 3.5 U4?  VIMA?  VI Toolkit?

    Hello

    I'll try to find a (web page perhaps) summary of what is and especially what is NOT available in free version of ESXi 3.5 Embedded U4.

    Like many people I guess, I spent hours looking for a way to perform certain operations on virtual disks, to see that these operations have been banned in the free version of ESXi 3.5 U4.  It is reasonable, after all, if someone gives you a horse, don't look in his mouth!  But while I'm happy to be an ESXi 'amateur' to a certain extent, I'm starting to feel like a pirate, and I'm doing this a bit more productive experience.  Here's what I found so far:

    -Some of the most useful features in VMware Tools (such as 'narrowing of the virtual disks') seem to have no useful effect in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version

    -L' operation-e vmkfstools.pl RCLI to rename the virtual disk (moving) and the i - operation to clone (copy / import / export) a virtual disk seem to be disabled (due to lack of return. RestrictedVersion.summary)

    -vim - cmd does not provide what be good beyond what you can do in VI Client

    In particular, can someone tell me if it is interesting to study the following, that is I'll be able to do anything discs at all useful to the virtual with them in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version:

    -VIMA

    -VI Toolkit (for Windows)

    Thanks for any help/pointers.

    Take a look at this article: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/, it should provide general information on the ESXi set and the problem of read-only.

    As ESXi never was intended to provide full access to the VI API, you get what you pay for and in this case, you use the free version so that you can accomplish all of these tasks with the VI Client, if you want more, you'll have to pay for it.

    So first off, vim-cmd is only available with the unsuppoted SSH console and you can probably do most of the basic tasks through some scripted as a shell script automation, also in the console Busybox unsupported, you have full access to the very familiar vmkfstools. Now, you mention vmkfstools.pl is the remote version of the tool, because it is not available by default with ESXi (as the console does not support is not supported by VMware). To manage and configure your remote host ESX and ESXi, vCLI was created that replicates most of the popular esxcfg-* commands that use the API of VI

    This VI API is not free, you have full read access but if you want to set up/perform all operations that aren't will not be played, then you will need to have a license appropriate and which is at the Foundation or higher. The API is exposed as WSDL/SOAP and there are various scripts/languages with links that hang in the VI API to provide a level of abstractions for programmers, administrators, some of these languages include Microsoft Powershell, Perl, c#, Java, etc.

    PowerCLI (officially VI Toolkit Windows) is such a link that uses the VI API, i.e. to use it you will need to have the appropriate permit to change the configuration of other you will have only read access, it's similar to Perl called vSphere SDK for Perl bindings. So, if you're going to explore other routes, you will always encounter the same fundamental question.

    Okay, vMA (officially VIMA) is just a VAPP VMware RHEL that provides administrators a way to centrally manage / to distance your servers ESX/ESXi and vCenter. It comes by default with the vSphere THAT SDK Perl and a few other utilities to help manage/configure your systems and once again they depend on the VI API which access set based on the licenses that you have on your hosts.

    So all the options are options, but you need to know if you are going to get a license, because without the most basic, you will not be able to use one of these toolkits. Note that the license NOT only does full read/write access to the API but other features depending on the license you buy.

    There are other tools that provides VMware which, for now, temporarily has functions of management for virtual machines ONLY, this may change in the near future but take a look at this thread for more information post: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

    I hope that this clears up everything.

    If it will not connect to your wireless router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

    Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  • Microphone and speakers do not work with Skype in my laptop

    Original title: audio and microphone

    My microphone does not work it is built into my laptop. When you use Skype I can't hear the party that I talk and they don't hear me. I don't know if my speakers and microphone are set correct. Help, please.

    Hello
     
    The problem only occurs with Skype?
    Follow the steps mentioned below.
    Step 1:
     
    You can use the connection from your sound card line to connect a portable music player, microphone or other device for audio input to your computer.
     
    Most sound cards have at least a line-out port to connect speakers and a line-in port where you can connect to an audio input device.
     
    However, the line of connection to your sound card is disabled by default. This means that if you plug an audio device into this port, it will not produce any sound on your computer until you enable the sound to connect online.

    To enable sound for the line
     
    a. open Control Panel > click on sounds
    b. click on the playback tab, click speakers and then click Properties.
    c. click the levels tab, and then under online, click the Mute button to turn on the sound for the connection line.
    The line of connection is disabled by default.

    Step 2:
    Check the microphone in the sound recording.
