Are people getting lots of fake iTunes emails asking for personal information?

Since I bought my Mac Air I have started receiving bogus "itunes" emails asking for personal info and I would like to report it. They say my payment info needs updating so they want credit card, SS# and birthdate.    Anyone know how/where to report these to Apple?

Yes, unfortunately it is pretty common.

    Does your daughters email address show up as one of the options in the From line as discussed above? If so, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

    Hello CarenzaRielle,
    I know not being able to access your Apple ID can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:
    Apple ID: If you forget your password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
    Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    You may need to connect the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore it via iTunes.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.;

  • My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

    My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad.  I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
    My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
    What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • When i open ibook, the iTunes store asks for my password. it goes away when i press cancel or when i put in my password. why is this happening?

    When I open IBook, the ITunes store asks for my password.  It goes away when I press cancel or enter my password.  It seems unnecessary to me.  Why is it doing this?  I already paid for the book. 

    If you are trying to update information for your apple id then go to appleid.apple.com and click on manage your apple ID... you'll probably have to enter your old email address/password

  • For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

    Hi Experts
    for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
    please help me ASAP

    See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
    I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
    I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
    Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
    1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
    2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
    3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).

  • I got an ipod recently and i bought songs and apps already but i cant even get free things now without it asking for my billing details which i have already put in and i know for sure that i still have money on it

    I got an ipod recently and i bought songs and apps already but i cant even get free things now without it asking for my billing details which i have already put in and i know for sure that i still have money on it

    You need a valid payment method even for free items. If you know the payment method is valid then contact iTunes.

    i have followed the suggested methods of restoring my iphone by placing it into recovory mode, however itunes keeps asking for a response from my iphone except it is disabled and thus the restoration willnot continue

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    Hello Team,
    I am getting this error when I am trying to put some discussion.
    Your content titled OB52 access for edit has been removed by SCN moderators. Please check your email inbox for more information.

    True, normally it is not working and the guru does not know why. Your question is special as it does work yet you dont know why.
    Bottom line is that you must provide more information and have tried to analyze it yourself...
