Ok thanks, Had me worried. Anything I can do to stop them?
Depending on who provides your email service, you may be able to set up a filter or server-side rule and dump them to trash or junk folders. As long as there is some consistency in address domain, header or content you can use as a filter, you may be able to make a general enough rule to catch all or most of them.
Log in to your email account online and see what, if any, options your service provider offers. One of my own domain emails started getting a ton of spam this year but I now have a pretty comprehensive set of rules for it, plus my hosting service's default junk-mail filter, so that about 99% of them no go directly to SPAM.
If using iCloud, you can create filters if you login to iCloud mail via a web browser.

Today I received an email claiming to be from Apple. Below are the contents of the email. It basically claimed to be offering me a chance to test out a beta version of what it called iWorks on the iCloud. I just needed to sign in to test it out. Has anyone else received anything similar? Has anyone been able to verify its contents? Or is it a scam? It allegedly was sent by email address of "[email protected]" Help?
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Christina,
We’ll soon be introducing a new and exciting feature to iCloud. It’s called iWork for iCloud and it’s a suite of apps — Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — that make it easy for anyone with an iCloud account to create and edit great-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations right on the web.
We’d like to invite you to be one of the first to try it, so we’re giving you early access to the iWork for iCloud beta. All you have to do is sign in to iCloud on a Mac or a PC using the current version of Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. Then just click on Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and you’re off.
We’re really proud of these apps and we’d appreciate your help in making them as great as they can possibly be. So we’d love to hear your feedback as you use them.
Sign in to iCloud.com to get started with iWork for iCloud today.
Sincerely,
The iWork TeamHas it been verified with Apple? Because I just called Apple care, and the technician I spoke to knew nothing about it. He said he thought it was a scam and recommended I post it here.
Confused, anyone? Lol.

Has anyone else received bogus-looking emails purporting to be "bills" from iTunes?
Has anyone else received bogus-looking emails that are supposed to be "bills" or bill notices from iTunes? If so, is there anywhere to forward them for Apple to investigate? Thanks!

The message is very clearly bogus, full of errors of every kind, right from the start: "Dear Apple Custumer,"
The fact that it came to my own iCloud address worries me since usually such schemes are to a broad group, like "[email protected]"
I have forwarded the email, with Long Headers, to the fraud-combating websites. Can't find any hint on apple.com/support as to where at Apple itself to direct it.Re: Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.
YES today in the UK, the email text is as below, together with several Links to "Apple" sites and an Apple logo and European support address.
Fairly crude but could fool naive users.
Any one know how to get to the addresses behind the links without clicking them? Just copying and pasting as plain text doesn't seem to work. Any other way just copies the Hyperlink.

Has anyone stopped receiving email notifications on posts?
I just noticed this morning that I am not receiving email notifications on certain posts starting sometime yesterday. I checked the posts in question and under 'Actions' in the upper right hand panel 'Stop Email Notifications' is showing as the option, so I should be receiving email updates.
Anyone else experiencing missing notifications?I figured it out, my email account was gmail set to imap, when you setup imap as well as automatic retrieval the phone downloads your entire inbox, so if you have thousands of messages in your inbox like I did, the phone gets overwhelmed and stops displaying notifications on the main screen. When the went on and archived all my old mail on gmail, the problem was gone.

Has anyone else had email notification issues after ICS update?
After the ICS update, I am not longer getting any email notifications. I only get notifications after I open the stock mail app and it loads the emails. I have unistalled/reinstalled numerous times without any change. I have looked through the new ICS settings to see if switch got changed, without any luck. Has anyone else run into this issue? Thank you in advance
I think if you delete data and cache from the email app, then re-add your email address, it should help.

Has anyone else had difficulty using WPA2 Internet sharing with their Apple TV? Any solutions?
Hi.
I've seen references to this on here, but no solutions.
I use my 27" 2010 iMac to share Internet in my home, latest versions of OSX and iOS.. Works fine, sharing with iPhones, an iPad and my Apple TV 2.
Recently though, I changed to WPA2, and the Apple TV can't see Home Sharing is on. If I switch security (ie WPA2) off, then it can see it again.
So has anyone found a way to use WPA2 successfully with their Apple TV?
Thanks in advance.I’d suggest uninstalling:
Blackberry software
the cycling74 driver
Any HP “utilities” (regarding the HP IO. Apple told developers to stop using Startup Items back in 10.3.)
any Adobe software you have (the “not loaded” ones are not loading because they’re incompatible.
the com.apple.CSConfig one.
facebook
google keystone agent
Unfortunately you have a lot of very questionable old, incompatible, and probably bad software on your Mac that is not playing well with Mavericks. Some of these can be difficult to uninstall, particularly if you are not familiar with poking around in Mac system folders.
You might consider cutting to the chase and doing a clean install:
backup your documents and passwords, network settings, etc.
Completely erase your hard drive
Reinstall mavericks and your apps from scratch (not from backups)
and finally replacing your documents.
It can be a good thing. Spring cleaning. If you want to go this route, let me know, I can give you some more detailed suggestions for how to do it. The advantage is you can get Mavericks running really fast and reliably, and then be more selective about what you reinstall. A lot of the stuff you have on there is probably from apps you don't even use anymore (like for your Blackberry), or that really aren't necessary. -
Has anyone else received thier new I phone 5 with scratches and chips ?
My I phgone 5 arrived oin a perfectly sealed box with a chip in the aluminum on the back side and scratches in the aluminum on the bottom and the top of the phone. Has anyone else had this happen ??
the black iphones are being damaged at the Foxconn factory. Apple is aware and is replacing the damaged/scuffed/chipped/scratched devices.
but if i were you id hurry. there was a riot involving 2,000 Foxconn workers this morning, and the iphone assembly lines were damaged, and the factory shutdown as a result of the damage.
iphone 5 is gonna get scarce- get your replacement while can, or you might be waiting a long time -
HT201210 Has anyone else received a -39 error since the new itunes update?
Since the latest itune update, I have completely lost all my uploaded audio books. When I try to restore from my ipod I get error -39. Has anyone else had this issue?
I have no idea which password you mean. Your phone's password? Your Apple ID password? Your iTunes Store password? The Backup encryption password? It is impossible not to have an Apple ID password or iTunes Store password. They are usually the same, but don't have to be.
If you need the backup encryption password it is cretain that you entered it, but it may have been a long time ago. It is prompted the first time you back up after checking "encrypt backup" in iTunes, and can also be required by your IT Administrator if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone. It is never again prompted until you need to restore from the encrypted backup. -
Has anyone else had this problem with the iphone 4 dock and bumper?
I purchased an iphone 4 dock and bumper but when ever I sit the iphone in the dock with the bumper on it won't get a sufficient enough connection to charge so I have to take the bumper off in order for it to charge.
Has anyone else had this problem?Yes I am not impressed with that either. How can apple design such an accessory and then not have it compatable with another accessory of theirs!?
The same goes for the in-car charger also. It's a good job the iphone 4 is so good, otherwise it would have been a return to Blackberry for me! -
I am having issues with my iphone 4 touch screen, I can't do anything with it. I even have a hard time sliding the bar accross to accept calls. Has anyone else experienced this? I only have the phone 2 months.
I've not experienced this. But I do appreciate your asking.
Did you want help with your technical issue? If so, why don't you ask. Also state what troubleshooting steps you've taken. -
