Friendly Reminder: Please Use a Shredder and Go Paperless...

The apartment where we live is very similar to what you described.  The mailbox area is adjacent to street where anyone could just walk in and grab stuff if they wanted to.  I've lost my USPS parcels a couple of times.  Needless to say, I've been shredding my stuff since '98.  My wife is also very adamant about having her information shredded ever since someone used her credit card to buy some stuff in Melrose.

I live in an apartment complex and was taken aback this morning when I went to get my mail.  We have a semi-enclosed mailbox area with several large garbage buckets in the middle.  Typically when you get your mail, you will quickly sort out all of the junk advertisements and quickly dispose them in these large garbage buckets.  I have gone paperless for all my bills so most of my mail is credit/service applications or store advertisements.  Store ads get thrown away immediately while everything else gets kept for shredding back at home.  Unfortunately, a majority of my fellow neighbors simply don't care.  They throw everything away if it isn't a bill. Well........this morning, all the garbage buckets were overturned and every single non-ad mail was opened and the contents taken.  We're talking credit applications/bills, utility ads/bills, collection letters, you name it... Will this lead to identity theft? I do not know, but these people certainly aren't deterring it.  I didn't check the apartment dumpster but it wouldn't surprise me if someone did some diving for personal information. As a reminder, please go paperless (if you can), get yourself a shredder, and most importantly, use that shredder.

    Hi
    I found this answer..
     was having trouble getting DirectAccess to enable on Windows 10 preview. The Enterprise version was being used and the issues with the machine name and GPO covered in other threads was also resolved. Instead it turned out that if the DA configuration
    has the "Laptop only" restriction used as part of the wizard, the default value will not work with Windows 10. Instead, you have to use GP Editor and edit the WMI for "Laptop only" as follows:
    Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE (ProductType = 3) OR ((Version
    LIKE '6.2%' OR Version LIKE '6.3%' OR VERSION LIKE '6.4%') AND
    (OperatingSystemSKU = 4 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 27 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 72 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 84)) OR (Version LIKE '6.1%' AND (OperatingSystemSKU = 4 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 27 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 70 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 1 OR OperatingSystemSKU
    = 28 OR OperatingSystemSKU = 71))
    (the new text is the OR VERSION LIKE '6.4%') After the necessary GPO update propagation delays, DA properly runs on Win 10. Just thought I would post this for others knowledge.

    Error?  I don't see any error.
    Process that have errors issue error messages and codes.  They do so to assist in solving the error.  Why do you not share that information?

  • I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
    track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
    Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
    to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
    who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it.

  • I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

    What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on.  If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct.  If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
    Hope this helps!

    Dear  MAC-Friends.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
    I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
    Choose another Library ?  ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
    and the other possibility is:
    Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library  ?
    And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
    PLEASE HELP ME.
    Kind regards  FINN GRABOWSKI

    Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
    Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
    If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

  • Recently in the Bahamas where I helped a friend with his new iPad. We could not find Bahamas in initial setup so we used United States and could not enter Visa/MC billing address in Bahamas. iTunes rejected, billing info is not what's on file. What to do?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.
    Every problem has a solution!

  • Hi guys please I need help basically I was using my ipad and decided to download an app I clicked it and hit install and the circle thing started moving but it just stopped and the app said free please I need help

    Guys I was using my ipad today and I decided to install an app so I started it and the circle came and it stopped and the app again said free
    And my App Store turned Chinese
    And when I tried to make a new Apple ID it gave me a warning you might be connected to a server pretending to be buy.iTunes.com at put your private information at risk
    PLEASE help me!!

    Your friend and whomever they talked to are wrong.  That message occurs when your device is locked to another carrier, and only that carrier can authorize an unlock request.
    Apple does not unlock devices for consumers - they merely process unlock requests submitted by authorized carriers.  Your friend needs to contact his carrier and request an unlock for that phone, assuming the carrier offers unlocking (not all do nor are they required to).

  • I'm sure this question has been asked before, i bought a iPad 2 from my friend and i hadn't used it for nearly 5 months then i tried to activate it and it says that there a iCloud account linked to it but my friend has NEVER used iCloud.  What can i

    I just want to know how get rid of a iCloud account from a ipad2 that i purchased off my friend.  My friend has NEVER used iCloud so i don't know how this iCloud account got linked to this ipad2 and i don't know how to get rid of it?  Please help.

    If your friend is the iPhone’s original owner, tell them to take the device and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store.
    If not, but you're able to contact the person who set the lock, send them this link and tell them to follow its instructions.
    If neither of the above applies, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded. Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

  • I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

    I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

    Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
    If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

    How do I access websites that warn: "Firefox is NOT compatible with this application. For best performance, please use Internet Explorer 5.0 and above...."? When I try to download any alternate browser, all I get is another warning that the alternate is "not compatible with your operating system." Is Firefox preventing this? The site listed below is a job application site. I've had this same problem with other job application sites also.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    https://storefront.kenexa.com/lithia/cc/Home.ss

    There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
    The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
    There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
    See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
    You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.
