I noticed this morning that someone had accessed my calendar and put a letter in there, it was an obvious scam as it was from outside and asking for money, how will they have accessed it and is there a way of stopping it? I only use my macbook at home
As above it seems that someone has accessed my calendar
Not sure how this may have happened, have looked in my security settings and do note that the only program to share my calendar is google Chrome.
Any ideas how this may have been hacked?
I never take my macbook away from home and am rural so no driveby issues.
Its a bit concerning if this can happen
SORTED IT!!!!
In calendar preferences it says share with and my share with was also set to gmail
the scammer send a message with a heading date and time and it popped up in my calendar - turned it off now so not hacked after all just clever on the part of the scammer!!

I have received an email saying that my Apple ID has been reset. This wasn't by me!! Does this mean that someone has accessed my account. Tried phoning Apple but they keep sending me emails saying that they have tried but I haven't answered. My number is correct.
Are you sure they say the password has been changed or that *if* you want to change it, then go to a web site and do it there. If the latter, just ignore the email. If the former (and I'm assuming the email is regarding a changed password, but it could mean the security questions have been changed), then using a computer's browser, try logging into icloud.com. If you can do that using the old password, then it's not clear what the email means.

Has anyone had a problem with TapMedia File Manage installed on iPhone 5? I reported a WIFI functionality problem to the developer and asked for support. Instead the company has been very unprofessional by name calling me instead of logically evaluate and troubleshoot the problem

Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?
I have a loop (Modern Guitar Rock 04), which I've extended out so it repeats four times. I select the Fade Tool and X-Fade for drag. I then drag just in front of the loop and onto it, which creates a fade. However, this also creates fades at the beginning of the repeating loops. Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?
The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?
I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response.. -
How can i see when someone has accessed my call/text log. (This is possible on google/gmail) I have been informed that someone has accessed my activity log and is giving my information to a third party. I believe it is a service tech, but I am not interested in persuing that further. I just need to see when my account has been accessed if possible.
Hi lynniewigs,
This is a common concern among Android and I-phone user, and one of the drawbacks to using a smart phone. We lose so much privacy. Our phones become cameras into our homes for us to be spied on.
I don't know what type of phone you have, if it is even a smart phone, but here is an example of an application that you can use to determine which applications are accessing your information and sending it out.
Permission Scanner - Android Apps on Google Play
Google just recently revamp their permissions geared to hide invasive applications that spy and send out your information without your knowledge. Report says be aware of what your Android app does - CNET
Please continue to be mindful of the apps you download and the permissions you give. -
I am at Ramstein AB Germany. My iphone screen was smashed badly on the flight to Germany this morning. WHEN I access apple support for this subject it gives me 3 options call now, call me now or call me later. As I am in Germany with no coverage and no working phone none of those options will work. Can you get this e-mail to someone who can help. My iphone serial # is C38xxxxxx. 1) I need to know where and how I can get a replacement somewhere nearby in Germany 2) If 1 is not an option I need to set up an appt to get a to get a new iphone at an apple store in Atlanta GA in the evening of 11 July.
Thank you very much, Phil Edelen
<Edited By Host>Thanks, my wife is the one serving I am retired and trying to follow her as much as I can.
I will schedule an appt for my next time stateside. I have spent too much time on many Apple web sites trying to get an e-mail to communicate with anyone at Apple to no avail, only phone numbers. I guess if you are overseas with no international access you are out of luck communicating with them. I did find one e-mail address but the reply was computer generated and provided useless links.
If anyone has any e-mail address for anyone at Apple I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Phil -
I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?
Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.

I have the iphone 4s and its updated (ios 6.1.1). I've always had my group messaging set to OFF. Everytime I send a text to multiple folks, I find out that they were able to see everyone elses responses to me. My boss told me this morning that she saw responses from my friends/family from a picture I sent yesterday. Is there ANYTHING that can be done about this? It's important to be able to send texts to multiple people. I have to update them alot on my husbands illness. Help!
Group messaging simply puts all replies in one conversation in Messages. It doesn't prevent the behavior you experienced.
My suggestion which would be much easier in my opinion, is rather than do a text, send out an email and use bcc: , which will keep the audience hidden from each recipient.
Otherwise, if you're determinted to do only texts, the only way is to send your message to one person at a time. You can of course copy/paste your msg each time which might be helpful. -
I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanksCan anybody shed some light on this for me?
Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta. -
I keep getting a pop up message asking for a voicemail password. I can simply touch cancel and it goes away. Put it pops up quite frequently during texting, chatting or email. Is there a way to stop this? I don't even have a voicemail password.
Contact your carrier; they are the only ones who can resolve this for you. Use the Carrier Luke,

My mom updated her iPhone to iOS7, and now she has my contacts. Does this mean that she has access to all of my photos as well? How can she 'unlink' our phones? Or, is there anyway that I can get my stuff to disappear from her phone? We share iTunes account so I think we are both on the same iCloud.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using the same ID as a primary iCloud login, then yes she can see your photos in photostream if you have it enabled.
You can use the same ID for iTunes so you can share all your purchases, but you need different ID's for iCloud.
Unfortunately, the mess caused by sharing the ID, will need to be sorted manually, once you both have your own ID's. -
I was told this morning that iPhone 5 , now has iOS 6.0.2 , WHY does iPad 3 ,iPad 4 ,ONLY have iOS 6.0.1 , when there're the same systems ??
The iPad Mini also has iOS 6.0.2. The update corrects a wifi problem on the Mini and iPhone 5.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.
Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.
