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.

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. -

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.

My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?
1st... make sure nothing's covering/smudging the camera lens. then...
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove the Camera app from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Camera app
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
Has anyone else had a problem with their nano sim slot bending snapping or breaking when they put their sim in!? I have had to order a replacement and only had the phone 5hours!

From giffgaff.
i Don't actually mean when you put it In the phone. I mean when you try to take the slot out of the phone with the pin. As soon as I pulled it out it bent.
That makes less sense as the sim tray a fairly stiff metal and should be pulled straight out once released. You didn't answer the question about where is was bought. Is is a real iPhone? -
Has anyone else had Bridge Email suddenly fail to load?
I have been plugging along just fine on BB Bridge since I got my Playbook last summer. Suddenly, Bridge Email will not load. It flashes a blank screen, then the outline of the email program, then back to black, then the outline again, black, etc., etc. This goes on indefinitely and email will not load.
All other Bridge applications are working as usual... calendar, contacts, BBM, etc. all work fine.
Email on the Blackberry phone itself has been completely unaffected and works fine.
Have rebooted the Playbook, done a full shutdown, un-paired, re-paired; no solutions.
Will check BB Desktop Manager to see if my most recent backup includes applications/app data. (I back up weekly)
Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? Can the core applications, such as Bridge Email (on the Playbook) be downloaded/re-installed?MrDavid wrote:

First off this has nothing to do with the OS2.0.1.358. I have had this problem since april 20,2011.
2. If you wouldvhave searched the forums, you would have come across threads about this specific issue. The cause bad code in a html email. I find it is an email from this forum.
There are 2 workarounds.
The first is leaving mail on your server for less time. It may clear up.
The second is to do a full backup and then doing a security wipe. Then a restore with out the app day. Restoring the app data will only put the bad code on the pb.
Make sure you are also running the most up to date bridge software on the phone.
I hope this helps.

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 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 -
I only have my IPhone5 for two months and am very upset that now they may need to give me a new phone and lose anything that may not have been recently backed up by the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you reseolve it? Hard reboots did not help.
jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.
