I have had a random e-mail telling me from Apple to confirm my Apple ID! I don't know whether this is one of those junk viral emails or its genuine. The reason I had the e-mail is that some tried to sign in using my ID.

I had an e-mail from apple today regarding someone tried to sign into my apple ID account. They disabled my account for security reasons but I can still log into my Apple account!
I was wondering if anyone else has bad this similar email, because this may be a viral email trying to obtain ones Apple information to use ones account fraudulently!

Does this resemble the email you received?

  • It's an advice to Firefox and I don't know whether this option is available in the latest update of firefox.

    if there are lots of tabs, then the button to close them individually will go invisible, so anyone who wants to close an inactive tab, he needs to select that tab to close it. i know there is a limit of space to include the close button if many tabs are open, my advice is, when one points to an invisible tab, the button to close that tab(only) would appear, so it is easy to close an inactive tab without switching to it. I don't know whether this is the right place for my opinion, if not please tell me where I can say this .

    Is your middle click able to open links into a new tab at least? if not then you may have your middle click set to something else.
    By default the middle-click should open links into a new tab and when hovering over to close them.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • HT4623 I don't know what has happened but the update didn't work and now it asks me to restore the iPad. I don't know whether I should as i'm too scared it will delete everything i had on my iPad. What should i do if i did backup my iPad before the update

    So i have a serious problem regarding the iOS update on my iPad 4 and i don't know whether i should restore it because i'm scared it will loose all the data.

    You are saying that you DID backup your iPad so there should be no worries at all. After you restore the iOS, you can restore from the backup - and sync with iTunes, if you are using iTunes - and you should be fine. If you see the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the screen, you are in recovery mode.
    Read this for more information.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple
    If you didn't backup your iPad, there is nothing that you can do about it now. You will lose everything when you restore. You can add you purchased content back to the device using the purchased tabs in all of the iStores or you can sync your content back to the iPad if you use iTunes.
    No matter what, you have to restore if you want to be able to use your iPad again.

  • Now that I have backed up, can I delete items from my desktop? One of the reasons I got the time capsule was so that I could free up some space on my computer. I am confused about whether the backup will one day remove my photos/video

    I purchased a 2TB time capsule yesterday. I set it up as a router and did the backup no problem. I then navigated the backup folder and found that all my photos/video that I am nervous about losing are on there. So far so good.
    Taking a step back, the reason I bought the time capsule was 1.) I needed a router 2.) I have a mac and 3.) I am running out of disk space on that mac (I shoot and cut a lot of video and have years of high quality pictures on my mac hard drive)
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused. I love the idea of backing up my computer so I want to keep that functionality, but will the drive still function as a static external hard drive? Or do I need to move that material in seperately as a folder outside of the backup folder?
    I am nervous that if the backup overwrites information as the disk space becomes limited that in 10 years when I fill this drive up, that I will lose all of my photos that are part of the backups that I am running now.....
    Or worse, I am nervous that if I remove things from my mac right now, that the next time that a back up is performed that it will lose this data as it is not currently on the device I am backing up? How does this work?
    I apologize, the back up is a very new concept to me and I want to make sure I do not goof anything up.

    That's an entirely different thing from backups.  A backup is an extra copy, in case the original is lost or damaged.   Additional space is just that -- more space for originals.
    While it's possible to use the same disk (such as the TC's internal HD) for both things, it's dangerous -- when (not if) something happens to the TC, you risk losing the originals that are on it.   To be safe, you need (at least) two copies of everything important, in (at least) two different places.  
    Many (including me) recommend at least three copies (originals plus 2 backups).  While it's not common for the Mac's hard drive to fail about the same time as the backup drive, it does happen.  There are several threads here where it did, and very expensive data recovery was needed, but in some cases everything was lost.
    So as the others recommend, getting an external HD for the stuff there isn't room for on your Mac is one solution for not having enough space.  But you might explore getting a larger internal HD.   If possible, that might be bettter.
    Then, also get another external, for "secondary" backups, so you're doubly protected.  If you get a portable model, you can take it offsite for even better protection.  See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details and some suggestions.
    Can I now delete them from my mac computer to free space? I have used standard external disk drives in the past, but the whole "Back Up" piece of things has me confused.
    You're not the first or only one. 
    There are different types of backup apps, so there are different answers for the different types.
    As the others have posted, Time Machine will, sooner or later, delete it's backup copies of things that are no longer on your system.  Depending on how long the original was there and when backups were run, that can be in as little as 24 hours, or as long as there's room.   So no, don't take the chance with data that's important!
    Is there helpful information on how to add an external drive to your backup set up?
    See the green box in #2 of the FAQ article.  All you have to do is format it for a Mac and remove it from the exclusion list.
               Once I set it up, will I need to leave the hard drive plugged into my mac in order for the data to be backed up?
    It can only be backed-up while it's connected.
               If I do, and a back up is performed without the hard drive attached to my computer, will it remove the backup of  what was on the hard drive
    No (unless you leave it disconnected until Time Machine starts deleting old backups).
    It will back up the external when it's connected, and not complain if it isn't.

    nowadays have many user have problem with update to ios7 and need active with apple id maybe in the future in order escape from these problems must be stop use these products else.

    It is a feature to discourage the theft of iPhones by making them useless if resold. It's not going anywhere. It's simple: just don't buy a phone until you make sure that the activation lock has been disabled.

    The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
    No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?

    but EULA ?? what does it stand for? I am pretty new to all this so good to learn something.
    ps. backgroud of my request is, that I purchased LR in a box in 2013. The computer where this is on, is at the end of its life and I have no LR box with License or any reference nr's anymore.
    Copied to my new Laptop, which maybe is not allowed if I understand you correct, it didn't work.
    Pitty, because afterall it is still my legally relatively recent purchased LR version.
    I thought to overcome this problem in future by putting it on my NAS. Safe for many years to come.
    again any knowlegeable feedback is welcome to me.

  • I've an iMac with OS X 10.4.11. Sudden email problem: every received email has, after the header, 1 - 2 pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, etc.) I don't know why this now happening, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    I have an iMac using OS X 10.4.11. Beginning several days ago, all incoming emails have, after the usual email header and before the message appears, one to two pages of technical data (e.g., Dkim-Signature, Domainkey-Signature, Content-Transfer-Encoding, etc.). This is similar and more complex that the info one receives when an undeliverable email bounces back. I don't know where this stuff comes from, or how it came, and I don't know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? I'm something of a newbie to computers (um, what's a Tag?).

    That just sounds like the mail headers. Most people don't know (or care) about them so they're usually hidden.
    Check Mail -> Preferences -> Viewing -> Show header detail
    I'm guessing it's set to 'All'. Switch it to 'Default' or None as you prefer.

    I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:

    The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??
