"Confirm your account information within 24 hours"- Scam??
Hey all,
I think it's definitely a phishing scam but just thought I'd see if any of you have come across the same email?
The sender is Apple Support with email address of '[email protected]', so makes it look quite legitimate.
And the link takes you to the below page with this URL:
http://https.www.apple-id.com-update.account-webobjects.itunesconnect.gundich.ki ev.ua/
I reported this to [email protected] as well.
Anyone has received the same email??
Cheers,
Findgun
Yes, it's a scam.
It's definitely spam and sending it directly to [email protected] was the right thing to do. Other users have posted similar spam.
Keep in mind, Apple will never send you an email asking to confirm your Apple ID and password.

Most likely a "phishing" email. Don't click the link.

my account is not frozen and i do not know if this is a genuine email. anyone else experienced this
thanksIt's a phishing attempt to get your account id and password, the 'validate' link on that page isn't an Apple website (there are similar phishing attempts regularly posted on here) - you could forward the email to Apple : [email protected]

Apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information
Hello,
Good Day.
I bought apple ipad 2 and need help.
I registered online and after this i am getting the error.
apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information
Can any one help me in this issue.
Thanks&Regards,
Shankar.MThis is information you you have created an apple id.
To use this apple id for the itunes store, you have to agree to the terms and conditions and enter in the requested information before you can use the store.
When you create an apple id it does not mean you gain access to all apples features, you would need to create a :-
Itunes id
Facetime id
Game centre id
imessage id
icloud id
You can use the same email address as each login. but until you agree to each terms and conditions you wont be able to access the services.
This is usually done the first time you access each service and sign in with your apple id.
As to iTunes you need a little extra as they will request to confirm details as to address, etc, with the payment information they can confirm you are actually in that country you are trying to purchase from.
Once you have added the credit card details, you can go back in a set payment method to none and remove the credit card details once you have activated the itunes on your apple id.
Basically this message you are getting is just ADDING the feature of iTunes store to your apple id, and confirms you have not got a iTunes id yet. -
I am getting this message on my iPad : This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store. Tap Review to sign in, then review your account information.
Hi Abdul5,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

When i go to sign into apple id it says "We apologize but we are unable to verify your account information online". When i go to "Not sure if you have an Apple ID?" It says "We apologize but we are unable to verify your account information online" When i try to sign in with my email it says "you already have an account????
Might I suggest a password reset?
Maybe you can click on the Reset Password link instead of trying to log in at appleid.apple.com.
I'm not sure if that would work, but its worth a try.

I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP.
I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In". The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
The error is:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue. Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."
It's clearly not a cookie issue.. Stuck...The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
Try here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
Correct.
It's clearly not a cookie issue..
As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
Type this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go the move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. -
I have an Apple ID and trying to sign in for the 1st time on iTunes. When I do, I get the message: "This Apple ID has not been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." When I do, it brings me to the same AppleID login window, and I get stuck in the same loop. I never get to the following screen to enter my account info. What's going on?? This is MADDENING!
If you want to use it, click Review and check your account information. Or you could contact the store support staff if you are concerned at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html for further help.

When I try to sign in to my account on iTunes, I get the above error message, along with"Please review your account information".
When I then click on "Review", it comesup with the page "Create an Apple Account for the iTunes Store"and presents me with the Terms Of Service.
When I click "Agree", It is disabled.
Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how to resolve it?
Please, please, please help.Count me in as having the same problem. I have been leaving messages in the iTunes for Mac forum where others in there also are having problems. I have been unable to access my account since 11/7/2007. E-mails with Apple have not worked and now I haven't heard back from them since Saturday. I have tried both on a Mac and Windows machine and keep receiving the same error message that:
This Apple ID has not yet been used with iTunes.
I last purchased music with this account on 10/30/2007. I even tried resetting my password, changing my account info, trying on a computer with iTunes 7.4, etc. I have money in that account and 150 songs and 5-6 tv shows that I cannot access. I also just purchased a new computer and cannot sync my iPod with this computer since these songs will not transfer.
Apple really needs a phone number for technical support. Having to deal with e-mails back and forth (and waiting a day for each e-mail) is not a good business practice. Hopefully they will have a phone number in the future.
Either way, count me in on getting annoyed that a week later, this issue has not been fixed. -
I changed my AppleID password and now my iPad2 is locked with a message... "iCloud Backup is unable to access the account. Review your account information in Settings." It will not allow me to unlock the device or go to settings or ignore the message. Suggestions?
<Email Edited by Host>I have the exact same problem. I have since gone into iCloud via my PC to reset my iCloud password, but did not help. Can someone pls help!!!!!!!!!!!
