Email and spambots

OK, I've been reading the many threads about how to change the email link and all that. I've consulted ken and allysun's sites, probably more at Rowan cottage. I'm not sure I'm fully in the know, but I think I've got it in general terms.
My question though concerns the spambots that many of us are trying to avoid. Do they just look for the email address within text, or can they read the code behind the scenes?
If they read the code behind the scenes, than whether we actually place our email on the page (linked or not) doesn't matter than if we use a cool image. Right? I was trying to comprehend Ken's idea of a QT movie, but its just too late here in my house. And allysun had some complicated coding thing using a couple of different sites (or I think it was her).
Maybe this is just a problem I wish I had--my site actually well known enough to generate being found by the spam bots. Now if they could just bring in more business. . . LOL

Well it is a form, yes... to sign up for your newsletter. But rather than putting your email address on your web site so people can email you (which indeed will attract spambots eventually) you can use a contact form instead. Contact forms, if you have a good one, will eliminate the spam issue. I would make a page called Contact just for the form so the link is always in your navigation bar. People can hit it no matter where they are in your site.
With a form, you can also ask various questions like:
Name, email, website,
Proposed speaking date (if they're thinking of having you speak)
Proposed topic
Message
You get that information in the first contact from them which is nice in terms of efficiency. It also adds some professionalism as most serious sites have a contact form to do business.
I use a contact form for my WordPress blog; it's not something I could use in an iWeb page so one of the others would have to suggest something for you. I think Varkgirl or Michael have the insight on this one.

Email and BBM Notifications

I just got a replacement phone and I get sounds notifications for both email and BBM that I want to adjust or turn off. That said, when I go to the "notifications" area of "System Settings" and scroll down to "Applications" I do not have either "Email" or "BBM" listed in there. I checked a friends phone and he has them in there, and we have the same phone and software version.
Would appreciate any idea of where to go to change these settings (not in HUB management I looked there) as well as why these two would not be listed in that area.
Thanks

If you haven't tried a reboot, or a reset, do it and then check again. Personally, I would reboot first, then try soft reset if reboot doesn't fix it.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

I changed my email and now I am unable to change it on my iphone to get updates

My email address has been changed. I changed it in my itunes and everything however my icloud account will not let me change on my phone. Meaning it pops up asking me to log in but it displays my old email and does not give me the option to change it. I have gone on line and confirmed that it is all changed to my new email but it will not change on my phone. any ideas?

Did you change the email address associated with your Apple ID at apple: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

I deleted my old Email account because I wanted to create a new one, and I did. However, when ever I send an Email from the Mail app on my laptop it says the Email was sent from my old Email and I just can not get rid of it.

I deleted my old Email and only used my new Email to set up the Mail app on my laptop. And the old Email is completely dead, hotmail.com says the Email no longer excists when I try to sign back in to it however my Emails remain saying 'Sent from Jordan [*old Email*].
I can't find a solution!!

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

I send an email from my Iphone to a friend. My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message. She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number. Why?

I send an email from my Iphone to a friend. My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message. She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number. Why?

We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it. I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend. Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id? My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone.
My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
For instance: her phone number might look like this: (493) 305-3958
and her email address would look like this: [email protected]
If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message. Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine. It's completely crazy! We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine. Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area?

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

How to take off email and website subscription from 2006 iMac to sell?

I have a desktop Imac that I bought in 2006 and would now like to sell. I also bought a laptop in 2007 that I prefer using. How do I remove the email and website subscription from the desktop model without messing up the laptop info? They seem to be connected at this point and I am not sure how to take off the information from one without damaging the other.

Have you solved this problem? If not, can you be more specific? You can change the email account information using Email preferences. Which website subscription would you like to remove?

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution. How do I fix this?

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution. First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll. They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bad camera? HELP please! Thank you!

My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

How do I copy my current Firefox Bookmarks and emails and settings in order to recopy them to a reinstalled Firefox later on

I am having problems with Windows Media Player and have tried all suggested options to sort it out. It was installed on my laptop when I bought it in Sept 2012 and is now causing problems that I can't resolve. In checking the player defaults and troubleshooting I discovered that the fie was created oin 21 Jan 2013, the same date I downloaded Real Player. This should have been Sept 2012 when I bought the computer. Has Real Player caused a conflict? = I don't know.
I now see no way out except restoring Windows 7 from the recovery disks made when I bought the computer or maybe downloading a new version of Win Media Player .
If I do a restore then I will lose my Thunderbird emails and my Bookmarks on Firefox - I would like to avoid this, if possible. Please let me know how and from where I can copy these and how I can upload/ recopy them when I am up and running with my reinstalled Windows 7.

hello, please refer to [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. the same information also applies to thunderbird, which profile usually resides in %appdata%\Thunderbird\Profiles.

Hi, Can you help me I am running an iMac 10.7.5 and iPad 6.0.1 and a macair10.8.2. iCloud is syncing emails and notes but not photos. Photo streaming is switched on on the iMac. what do I need to do to stream photos?

Hi you have basicly 2 Options.
1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.

When someone responds to my original email, and I "reply" back, my original email isn't included. I need it. How do I get it to keep my original email?

When someone responds to my original email, and I "reply" back again, sometimes my original email is not included, and I need it to be. How can I correct this? Thanks.

I've had the same problem for more than a year with every Reply or Forward message I've been sending and today I found the solution! And it's really funny.
The message is always there but you can't see it because the font color is white! So white letters on white background = blank message. I think the settings must have defaulted to white during a software update.
The solution is very easy: go to Mail - Preferences - Fonts & Colors. Check the box that says "Color quoted text" and then choose three diferrent colors in the boxes below. Enjoy.
P.S. Make sure to also check the "Include all of the original message text" option under Mail - Preferences - Composing
