Apple ID hacked from Taiwan and used to download app

My Apple ID was compromised this morning by someone in Taiwan. They download 1 application: Kingdomg CCG, before I was able to change my password, security questions, and enable 2-step verification. It looks like they coulnd't get to my credit card info - when I logged into the account from iTunes, the credit card info was deleted. I'm still concerned about in-app purchases. I filed a ticket with YMC (which made Kingdoms CCG) but am not sure how much good will come of that. Can the hacker still make in-app purchases using the credit card previously associated with my apple ID?

There have been a number of posts about this happening from Taiwan. If you haven't already done so then you should change your account's password (they shouldn't be able to make purchases if you change the password), and preferably the passwords for any email accounts that you have on your account just in case.
You could also contact iTunes Support to let them know : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Unable to download/update apps, lost App World from BB9780 and unable to download App World again

Hi, I see posts about this subject but none have helped me so far. I seem to have accumulated 3 issues
Since a couple of weeks I am unable to download apps from the app world or update apps from the app world.
1. unable to download / update apps from App World
The progress bar of the download progresses some and the it hoves me the error "There was a problem during installation, please try again".
2. While trying to fix this issue 1, the App World icon has disappeared from my BB9780. On the desktop software I see that the App World stll shows as installed on my device (version 3.1.1.121). a search on my device shows nothing though.
3. I try to fix the issue 2 by reinstalling the App World. Everything goes well untill the language selection. Final message is whether I want to replace version 3.1.1.121 with version 3.1.1.121? When continuing I receive the error "Download failed". Detailed error mesage: "909 Application authentication failure".
Please help me how to fix this. I have tried:
-battery pulls
-security wipes
-time zone synch
nothing seems to help.
Thanks in advance. Rob

Hi, jimac.1729.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to download or update an App. Sometimes simply forcing all apps to close and restarting the device can resolve this issue. Also, try going through the steps outlined below.
Force an app to close in iOS
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

There are no officially unlocked iPhone 5's available, in the US, at the present time. No announcement, as to availability has been made. The only unlocked iPhone, available now, is the iPhone 4 or 4S. Either of these versions will work, but will have no warranty or support in India. They can only be purchased directly from Apple, no where else.

My account hacked & downloads initiated by hacker from Taiwan

Hi Support,
I got a automated msg on 28/Dec/2013, that my "credit card" information has been modified & also couple of downloads have been initiated.
I have NEVER modified any of the credit card info & neither initiated the said downloads. (someone from Taiwan has hacked into my apple account)
My account has been hacked & has been compromised. Please let me know immediately how you can initiate action & also ensure that no charges has been levied & also can any action be charged against the offender ?
Many Thanks,
Girish

moreso with my personal data & my credit card details getting compromised, thanks to Apple
Why "thanks to Apple?" There seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around out there, and a lot of people are pointing fingers at Apple with no evidence whatsoever.
Online accounts of all kinds get hacked all the time. The fact that there are a lot of Apple IDs getting hacked from Taiwan right now does not mean that this must be a problem caused by Apple.
Don't make assumptions that might blind you to the everpresent dangers of having any kind of account on an internet server.
I dont find the "Two-Step Verification" menu/option under "Password and Security" menu in my account.
I didn't realize that this was limited by country, but I would bet that KP is correct on that point. That's too bad. If you can't enable this feature, that makes it a lot more important for you to use very good passwords, both on your Apple ID and any rescue e-mail addresses. Don't assume your password is safe just because it has upper and lowercase letters and numbers... that is not necessarily the case. For best results, use different lengthy, random passwords for every account, and use a password manager to keep track of them.

Hello, I downloaded an ntfs systemfile from tuxera and used it to convert a usb stick so I could put more than the fat32 4gb on, my Imac froze a while after so I turned it off the on and now I have blue vertical lines on boot up and the a white screen with lots of tine blue symbols after, mouse pointer moves but thats about it.
Have used R and cmd to get a menu up but once I choose one of the four options my mouse is rendered useless and I cant get any further, have downloaded, to another usb stick recovery disk assisstant and am trying to use that in conjunction with the lion option on the previously mentioned screen, computer was responding really slowly and has now frozen on the terms of software license agreement (maybe the last hurdle!) can anyone pleeeeeease help!!!!!??????

It's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test.
Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test
Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

My iPhone4 back scrren is cracked. I have purchasded it from US and using it in India after factory unlock. How can I get it done and how much it would cost me.

My IPhone4 back screen is damaged. I have puchsed it from US and using in India after factory restore.
How can I get it repaired and how much it would cost me for original part to to be replaced.

To have Apple repair the phone, you would need to send it to someone you know in the US to have him or her bring it to Apple for repair. The iPhone warranty is NOT international. In addition, Apple doesn't sell parts.

Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India?

Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India? And will I able to get the international Warranty?

I heard from friends the best phone reception in India is Nokia or Sony...because the call centres for both companies have call centres in India and they said the best receptions from cellphones/networks is via Nokia or Sony.
I fully support Apple I have many products but if you spend so much money on an iPhone 4S that didn't work out; why not spend time goggling India's network provider/carrier and do some research?!?
Or email Apple support with all your questions, details, informations and maybe thay can help you out more. It was me, the best answer is to Spend the time on research before making a purchase.
Good luck.

You have to buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple Store.
