Finder Shows all Mail Attachments as opened today - security question
Hi, I used wifi at a coffee shop and last night, when looking for files opened recently by uing the "search for all documents" function in the finder menu, it shows that practically all the attachments I've ever sent in Mail were opened TODAY. I haven't looked at some of these in over a year. No other files seemed to have been opened. Is it possible that someone got into my computer through the wifi network? I should note that this is a brand new macbook and as soon as I saw that all the files had been opened, I checked the system preferences and sure enough, "sharing" was enabled. Needless to say i disabled it right away. Anything else I can do?
Thanks, Barney. I ran Apple Disk Utility, as well as TechTool Deluxe and DiskWarrior, and the drive is fine.
To clarify, I don't think a hypothetical intruder would have copied one user account's folder onto the desktop of another deliberately. Ham-handedly, perhaps, but not deliberately. I'm not saying there was an intruder, but if there was, perhaps the person was attempting to copy the folder elsewhere (his own desktop?) and got sloppy or careless.
Here's are the things that raised the question in my mind.
-The desktop where the folder appeared was pristine -- no other objects on the screen. I think a system-created folder appearing on a clean desktop would have been placed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This folder was not; it appeared about three inches from the bottom of the screen and four inches from the right edge.
-Of the several user accounts on the MacBook, the copied user account was one that would have contained the most personal information. The others are specially-purposed accounts with limited contents.

Exchange 2007 not showing all mails
There are a lot of mails within folder not shown within apple mai! I connect with the Exchange 2007 setting and it just does not sync well. I tried Exchange IMAP which works, but lead to different problem like having a separate 'Sent' folder!
If I check those folders with OWA ord Outlook I'v got hundrets of mails. Even my iPhone shows all mails! But Apple Mail doesn't.
The Syncing of Exchange 2007 with Mail is broken! We are three people working with it (all software developers) and there are so many problems...
i.e. renaming folders if you have the option 'keep mails and attachments' set and several people are using the same account for archiving mails within project folders...I removed now the whole mail profile (the folder with finder). I added the account again and still I'v got folders which just show mails up to december 2009. That's **** for us.
I have no way of 'resyncing' the folder... -
With the new ios7 my every time I receive hotmail it shows all mail as unread when it has already been read
I have the same issue with a non-hotmail POP3 mail account. Must be a bug in iOS7 as it worked without a problem in iOS6.
The funny thing is that if you select "Edit (upper right corner of the screen)/Mark All" there is no "Mark as read" choice here, it reads "Mark as unread". So the built-in Mail app knows that the messages has been read. (Note that I use a non-English iOS language setting, so the actual labels may differ).
And the next funny thing is that only the really unread mails (new ones) are marked with the ussual blue dot.
I have already sent a feedback to Apple about it. -
My old Apple ID is still showing when i need to reset my security questions. And i am not able to buy music on iTunes. someone help?!
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account/Apple ID that was used to download the apps. You will need to use the Apple ID that was used to download the apps to install app updates.
Apps downloaded with one Apple ID can't be transferred to another ID and accounts can't be merged. -
I tried to find the reset security questions button on manage apple id but couldn't find it. Please help me reset my security questions?
The reset link, as described in steps 1 to 5 on this page, will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have one then go to (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
i have apple id but i not have password. Im lost my e-mail and im not remember security question and answer. I restore factory to days a go in my iphone 4s and must activate. what im must doing? in my phone is find my phone is on
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I forgot all of the answers to my security questions and when I set up my apple id I did not add a rescue email, I recently got a new iphone and I cannot purchase anything on it because it asks me to answer my security questions which i can't reset because I do not have a rescue email. what do I do?
this does not help. I have forgotten ALL of the answers to my security questions. I can NOT reset the answers to my security questions without answering two of the three security questions. The other way to reset the answers to these questions is for apple to send me an email on my rescue email addres which I DO NOT HAVE.

hi all how do you reset your security questions. i can not remember the answers. how do you reset them? i cant buy anything because it keeps coming up
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -

RasheshYou can select multiple folders in the left side bar. The search bar will then search all mail in the folders that are selected.
You can select all of your icloud folders easily by cliking the top folder to select it, and then scrolling down to the bottom folder, holding down the shift key, and then clicking on the bottom folder. You can also add or subtract folders to the selection by holding down the command key and clicking one folder at a time. -

I can no longer locate the "Show All Bookmarks" button from the Bookmarks menu on Firefox 29. I tried looking for it in the Bookmarks Sidebar, but it's not there either. I would like to manually backup my bookmarks from time to time - is there another way to do this on Firefox 29?
See also [[/questions/997080]] Is it possible to move "show all bookmarks" in the bookmark-menu to the top?

HT204053 How do I find out what my answers are to my security questions
How do I find out the. Answer my security questions
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support. -
Why won't the link show up to change my Apple ID security questions?
Don't understand this at all! Logged onto my Apple ID and it made me type in all of my security questions (which I forgot). So I followed the instructions and went to the security questions section of Manage my Account and there is supposed to be a link where you can send an email to your Apple ID email, but there was no link. I first went back to the instructions to see what I could do, but there was no information on it! I have been on the website and it keeps bringing me back to where I started and I still have not figured it out. Please help! Thanks guys.
You didn't previously set up a rescue email address and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
