Bous Email warning on App Store Download

I just got an email about an app download quoting an apple id that is similar to mine but not the same and inviting me to cancel payment for the app. When I click the link I get to a site that looks like apple but asks me to submit payment info (credit car details etc). Is this a scam?

Yes, it's a scam. Just delete it.
Regards.

  • IPhone app store downloading problem

    I have iPhone app store downloading problem (iOS 5). I could not download or update any software successfully from yesterday. Every app shows "waiting for download" but nothing happen for two days. It seems my app store does not connect to server. I use same account in my iPad, but it works normal. So, what happen to my iPhone? Please help me!

    Hold the home button and lock button for 10 seconds to reboot the iPhone.

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

  • How does one save App Store downloads to a flash drive?

    I live in South Africa, where Internet access is expensive/slow compared to the rest of the world.
    For this reason, I would like to backup my App Store downloads so I can do a clean install every few years.
    I've downloaded GarageBand which has been saved in my applications folder.
    I have not run the installer yet.
    In applications, the file GarageBand.app has been created.
    If I right click on the file, I can copy it, but right clicking again doesn't give me a paste option.
    Any idea how to save this file to a flash drive?
    I'm running Mavericks

    There is no digital rights management scheme used in the Mac App Store aside from the fact that all apps/games are coded with the user's Apple ID and the Mac on which one wishes to use an app/game must be authorized to use that Apple ID's content.
    The only difference in this case is that my thumb drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) because it is my bootable USB installer for Mavericks. But as you can see it works fine.

  • I have received a weird email from the App Store about the iCloud...

    I got a weird email from the App Store saying this...
    Dear iCloud Member,
    Your annual subscription was set to renew on Oct 20th, 2012 PDT.Attempt to do so has failed.
    This may occour as a result of change of credit card or billing address. Please take a minute.
    to review your account settings. If you want to change any of the details below, log in to MobileMe
    select Account and click continue. .
    LOGIN HERE TO UPDATE.

    The thing was, when I clicked on the login thing, it took me to another site and I instantly shut the server down before anything happened. Is this a real email or is it a fake? Has anyone else had this? I have already updated from one to the other so I don't know why I am receiving this.

    As long as you didn't enter your iCloud username and password on the site the link took you too, you will be ok.
    If you did, change your password immediately, and be vigilant for any suspicious activity in your account.

  • I can't remove previous owners email address from App Store so can't use - advice please!!

    I can't remove previous owners email address from App Store so can't use - advice please!!

    Settings/iTunes & App Stores. Tap the Apple ID. Tap Sign out. Then sign in with your Apple ID. However, if the phone still has Find my iPhone enabled with the previous owner's Apple ID then the phone will be useless to you until you get the previous owner to release Activation Lock on the phone.

  • Where does iCloud app store downloaded attachments on iOS device?

    I am wondering where iCloud app store downloaded attachments? I downloaded a rather large PDF for viewing and would like to get rid of it. Thank you.

    Got it. So the Lion installer will be in my apps folder? the reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to create a bootable DVD so I can do a clean install. I have the instructs per OSX Daily. The instructs were from Apple devs on how to make a bootable DVD as they were doing with the pre-GM's. Thanks!

  • HT2534 where is my email verification for app store?

    cantt get email verification from app store, getting all other emails

    It should be sent to the email adddress you associated with the Apple ID when you set it up.  Apparently it can take up to 48 hrs.  This is from Apple:
    I didn't receive a verification email (within 48 hours).
    Sign in with your Apple ID account and resend the notification. Search all of your mail folders for any emails coming from 'apple.com'.
    I didn't receive a verification email (more than 48 hours).
    You'll need to restart the registration process. You can reuse the same account information.
    If all else fails, contact iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • IMac Mavericks App Store Download Recycle on Lock Screen?

    Hello.
    I've been searching for as precise a description of my issue as I could find, but haven't found it. So, I'm putting it here for commiseration and, mostly, help.
    Brand new iMac, running Mavericks. In the App Store, clicked "Purchases." Started to download (via Wifi) what's needed. One or two of the smaller apps downloaded fine, but the larger ones (e.g. GarageBand, Keynote, and Final Cut Pro) kept "recyling," by which I mean, they would get a quarter or a third of the way done, then go right back to zero. AppleCare seemed to help by saying "It's really just downloading the larger applications in packets, so it's probably just going back to get the next packet and, when it does, it goes back to zero."). After doing a few things they suggested, it seemed to work a bit better, but that was not, in fact, the case.
    This  morning, our Administrator (it's a corporate machine) went around our security by connecting my hard-wired to ethernet. The next larger app or two downloaded fine, but when I got to Final Cut, the same problem, again. Thinking the download may be recycling (going back to zero) on (or just before) lock screen, I disabled the lock screen password protection. Final Cut Pro is now about to finally finish downloading, all at once. There were no "recycling to get packets" or any other interruption of the process.
    Question:
    Will app store downloads be interrupted when the computer goes to lock screen? This seems to be the case. If this is, in fact, true, what can I do to fix this? I'd prefer not to have to disable the lock screen each time I wish to download a large file. Seems kind of bogus, no?
    Also, FYI, bluetooth is off.

  • Are App Store Downloads Disk Images?

    Pardon the ignorance but I have never used the App Store.
    I assumed that the apps you downloaded would be in the form of disk images (.dmg) but something I read recently suggested that this wasn't the case and the apps were simply downloaded and automatically installed on your computer rather like Software Updates in Leopard and SL.
    If this is the case, it appears that if your computer is erased or replaced, the app will need downloading again, which I assume will be easy (and free!) as the App Store should have the record of the original sale.
    Is that correct?
    However, you are usually allowed to have one copy on a desktop and another on a laptop. How does one go about that?
    If the app is a simple self-contained one it should be easy enough to drag and drop it to the second computer, but that won't work with more complex apps that use various "hidden" files or folders.
    I have always made backup hard copies (DVDs) of all my apps for obvious security reasons and it appears that this will no longer be possible . . . . or will it?
    Software Updates can be copied by whipping them out of the Updates folder before they have a chance to be intalled (and the installer deleted).
    Can a similar technique be used with App Store downloads . . . . . . . . or is that something I shouldn't be asking?

    Hi,
    If you need to re download an app follow the instructions here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You can download the same app to multiple Macs without extra charge.
    Updates for apps you download from the MAS will be available in the top of the MAS window, not from Software Update. Reason being, they are from third party developers, not Apple.
    Always a good idea to backup any apps you install from the MAS to an external source for easy reinstall in case you need to reformat the drive they are stored on.

    Hi there, I recently purchased an app and I need to re download it onto my iphone 4s. The app is saved on my laptop and is not available on my app store download history. Can anyone advice how I can redownload it from my laptop?

    You just resync your iPhone with iTunes on your laptop.
    If you are logged with the same Apple ID on both devices it should be available to download from your phone:
    Open App Store app > Updates > Purchased
