Can i trust a mail from apple.dk@voila.fr. I vun a MacBook air in a competision on the Internet?

I vun a MacBook air in a competision on the Internet?

Probably not. Computers are not given away to just anyone out of the blue. Sounds phishy to me. Reminds me of the Nigerian wanting to give you a boatload of money.
Did you enter the compitition from some place you know? If not don't trust it
Do you know who is at that email address? If no then don't trust it
Is the email asking for personal information? If yes don't trust it
Is there a link in the email linking to some other third party? If yes, don't trust it

  • Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

    Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
    For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
    I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
    1. Opening Mailbox
    2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
    3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
    After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
    I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
    Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
    Regards
    Peter

    Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
    About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
    Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

  • I can't delete e-mail from Apple's native mail app.  I am using Gmail.

    I cannot delete mail from Apple's native mail app.  I can do this in Gmail; but when I switch to the native app, it does not work.

    Hello ike39
    For issues with Mail, check out the first article below for general troubleshooting steps to get it working again. Also, is it archiving emails instead of deleting? Check out the second article to see if that is set properly.

  • Can I recover E-mails from Apple Mail when the E-mail account is closed

    My company E-mail account was closed today and I had anticipated the messages would be stored by Apple mail for offline viewing. It was an IMAP account with the preferences set to so that the mail was never deleted and all messages were to be kept.
    However, all the mail has  disappeared with no action from me. Is there anything I can do to recover this information?
    I did not "back up" these messages as I thought they would be left in the mail program for viewing and that I could later archive them.
    Thanks in advance

    No idea what happened, then.  I suppose it's possible that they deleted all your messages before removing the account, and that Mail synced the change before getting cut off.  Why they would do that, since just removing the account would also delete all the messages, without the need for an extra step, I don't know.  Perhaps they wanted to try to ensure that you didn't have copies of those messages for some reason?
    In any case, if you have a recent backup, you ought to be able to restore those messages to a local mailbox.  If you use Time Machine, you can choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu while in Mail, and it'll allow you to navigate through all the stored backups of your messages and restore them.

  • HELP! Can't import archived mail from Apple Mail

    I just moved up to a VERY nice MacPro. I archived mail on my G5. When I go to import it into Mail on my VNMP, it refuses to import. No real explanation, just says it couldn't import. Huh? Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks

    Hi Ann,
    I know Flip4Mac has updated the plugin, but it still
    could be causing you the problem.
    Navigate to HD/Library/Quicktime
    Drag the Flip4Mac component to the desktop and
    restart the Mac.
    See if that makes any difference.
    That was the problem. I can import video into iMovie from iPhoto again. So...now the Flip4Mac components are sitting on my desktop. Do I uninstall Flip4Mac? Or is there another option for using it without messing up my iMovie software?
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I get an album from my iPod Classic 80GB onto my refurbished MacBook Air?

    Hi there
    I have a new to me refurbished MacBook Air and an old iPod Classic 80GB.  I've somehow managed to get my music off my iPod onto my laptop apart from one album which doesn't seem to have copied across.  Please could anyone tell me how to do this?  On my ancient iBook, back in the day, you could just drag music across to copy it but that doesn't work here.  I've looked on Help about backing up, but it's a bit cond=fusing as the set up isn't the same the Help section mentions, although I must have managed to back up to have the rest of my music on my laptop at all.
    Also, please could someone explain syncing to me?  I've looked on Help, but i still don't know what it means.
    Sorry if these are stupid questions, I'm not that clued up technically, thought trying to educate myself bit by bit now I have my own laptop.
    Thank you in advance.

    Ps Just to add a bit more information, I just realised there are loads of albums on my iPod I don't have on iTunes on my laptop.  I wonder if the ones that /are/ on my laptop got there are there because there got there via me having the same apple id.  I don't know if that's a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I'd better mention it. 

  • When sharing internet from macbook air, my phone connects to the internet but my Air cannot.

    When trying to share internet to my phone from my macbook air on 10.9.4, my phone will be able to connect to the internet but my laptop won't be. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Please let me know if I need to provide any more information. Thanks!

    Try resetting your SMC.
    Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
    Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
    I hope I helped.

  • Can't send AOL email from Apple mailbox.

    Rebuilt mailbox, rechecked settings, Followed directions in Apple support and went through all preferences, but still can't send aol mail from Apple mailbox. I get the message," Can not send mail using the server smtp.aol.com:psyxprt". I can send email if I go through Safari and then to aol. Can receive mail. We have Verizon cable, if that is important. I'm about 4 hours into trying to fix this. Help!!!!!

    Instead of accessing your AOL mail via Safari, setup your AOL account using Mac Mail.
    http://help.aol.com/help/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&extern alId=72841
    v10.4.11 is a very oudated OS X so it's not going to work on Safari.
    Firefox no longer supports OS X v10.4.11 which is why it's crashing.

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.

  • How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

    How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
    Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
    I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE  MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
    Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
    Thanks

    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

  • Problems with my Apple id since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: you're password was reseted but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hackd

    hi everyone,
    since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: "you're password was reseted..." but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hacked ?
    Best regards.

    I'll add my problem to this list as it sounds similar. First a little background. This is a problem I think we will see from a lot of long term users, so here is my story. When .Mac was first made available I signed up and was given a new apple ID [email protected] At this point I already had an Apple ID that I was using for just music purposes (apps didnt't exist yet) but was told by apple I would have to give it up. They could not merge IDs and would not change them. The end result was getting a new Apple ID and having to redownload all my purchased music over P2P or burn it and  re-rip to remove the DRM. Fast forward a bit to a time when Gmail is getting bigger. I'm invited to try it out and I decide that I'm going to stop paying $100 for email, as I never really used he other features iDisk, photo sharing etc, and syncing contacts, calendars and mail was just as easy through gmail. Now years later we have iCloud. I have to sign in with my outdated .mac ID, at this point I have for too many apps/music/shows to drop that ID. When I sign in with that .mac Apple ID I get the automated iCloud message telling me my new email address is [email protected] However when I go to send email from my iCloud account it is using .mac as the sending address and the mail will not go through. I can't change it in the mail app or in settings. I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I'm stuck with a defunct email address as a username that is more or less a key to thousands of dollars worth of content, and a new email address that won't function and nobody at Apple can press the right buttons to help clean it up. Some kind of system should be in place to change a user ID. Maybe once a year or once every other year. **** at this point I would even pay a one time fee just for my user name to be rid of that old .mac extension.
