Do not reply; this is an attempt to "steal" your payment information (phishing).

It claims there was suspicious activity as there was a log in attempt from an unknown device then provides a link o enter my data, which I haven't done, why would apple be asking for my credit card details?

This is a REALLY sneaky phishing scam that looks legitimate on the surface. I almost fell for it until I read the information more closely and noticed the many grammatical errors. I'm posting an alert on Facebook.

I just got a new laptop, and when i went to go and buy something it asked me to verify my account because this was my first purchase on here. it asked me the security questions but i dont remember exactly what i put. Now my account is disabled. now what?

I just got a new laptop and when i went to go and buy something, it asked for some security question answers cause this was my first time buying on this computer. When i went to go type in the (so what I thought) correct answers, it said they were wrong. After numerous tries, it disabled my account. How do I get the answers sent to my email so i can start using my itunes again?

Go to item 12 in the AppleID FAQ for help with a disabled account.
You can also go to the AppleID support page and click manage your account for additional help.

Java script--Version 6, update 21. Is this legitimate?

I keep getting a message that I MUST! make a critical update to Java script--Version 6, update 21. The only way I can get out of it is by foreced quit. Is this legitimate?

Java, rather than Javascript ?
Post a screenshot, & confirm that Software Update isn't showing any new updates.
You should also typically Un-check Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow Java unless you're on a trusted site that requires it.

I received an email from iCloud asking me to update my details is this authentic?

I heard that Apple had some virus issues recently. I have updated my software but am a little suspicious about an email I have just received from "icloud" aksing me if I have recently changed my details and I need to re submit them. I have not changed anything by the way. So want to be sure this is an authentic email from Apple.

I would actually get in contact with iCloud support itself. You can do this by going through the express lane, which is available at http://expresslane.apple.com . They may as for you to get them the meta tags or something, so they can determine if it is real.

The email looks legitimate and takes you to a site that you cannot tell from the actual apple site.
This is very scary as I almost fell for it. It is hard to distinguish from an apple site.
<Link Edited By Host>

These are very common. The giveaway is that they don't address you by name - genuine Apple emails will always do this - and the links (which you can safely check by hovering over them in Mail) will be to non-Apple domains. You were right to be suspicious of it.
If you would like to report it to Apple you can forward it as an email attachment to [email protected]

Has anyone ever had an email from Apple asking them to update their details for their Apple account on IPad? Kinda worried as it asks for my bank details and bank account number and security code on the back of the card. Thanks :)

Has anyone ever had an email from Apple on IPad asking them to update their account details? The email seems genuine enough as it asks you to sign in with your Apple ID and password and takes you through to the Apple site but am a bit worried as they ask you in the section Update Your Apple account for bank and credit card details and for the security number on the back of the card. Also in the section where it asks for my mobile number it will only take 10 numbers and when ai try to put in the final (11th number) it won't let me. Sorry am new to all this and a bit confused! Any help is gratefully appreciated.....Thanks.

That is phishing attack
Someone, other then Apple, sent it to you

I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.
