How can I stop Spam reaching my iPad?

Could anybody help me stop spam reaching my iPad? We can filter and "junk" mail on the mac but how can you do this on the iPad? ( and iPhone for that matter). Would be grateful for advice. I have found an app called iSpamDrain that may help but am not entirely comfortable with the fact it seems to be cloud based and you have to give them your email password.

I have found what looks like a promising service to try and stop spam, it is http://www.spamcop.net/ces/pricing.shtml
I wonder if anybody else has any experience of it?

I have a MacBook Pro how can I stop spam mail

How can I stop unwanted mail, i.e. Bulk mail and spam ?

You can't, other than by changing to a new email address and then never giving that out to anyone other and very trusted friends and families. All you can do is try to filter such messages. Mail in Mac OS X has a Junk Mail filter, as may your email provider, or you can use a third-party filter. I use SpamSieve and have found it well worth the cost. For identifiable senders, you can also set a Rule in Mail to mark junk messages as Read and move them automatically to the mail trash.

How can I stop contacts from my iPad from syncing to my iphone?

I have recently started using an iPhone 4 and I have been using the iPad 3rd gen. for almost a year. The only contacts that I have on my iPad are my clients, but I don't want them on my phone. How can I either make a group file for my clients or stop them from syncing to my phone all together?

I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
Hope that helps.

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

How can I stop spam

Hi there,
I keep getting these really annoying spam emails. Messages from people claiming the have added me as a friend on some social networking site or another. Te only social networking sites I am on is G+ and Twitter, and none of these requests are coming from those. Instead they are coming from social networking sites that I have never heard of and when I search google for the name of the so called "social network" I get thousands of results saying that it is spam.
This has been going on for months now and I am sick and tired of it. I know I can set my spam filters to exclusive but that only works on the mail.app client and its working across my other devices. Besides, I sometimes do want to recieve emails from people or mailing lists that are not in my address book.
I have an iCloud account, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to change my iCloud email address. I don't want to create a new iCloud account because I currently have 25GB free from apple as I was a MobileMe user before upgrading to iCloud.
All I want to do is change my iCloud address from xxxxxxx to something unrelated to prevent the spammers sending me all their rubbish trash. I will be easy forme to do a bulk email and send my new address to all the people in my address book and to update my iCloud preferences so I continue to recieve email across all my devices.
Te question is: will this work, will this stop the spammers and can I do this anyway?
Thanks
Jay

Although you can create aliases for your iCloud e-mail address, that doesn't solve the problem... the original iCloud e-mail address will still be the same. Unfortunately, there's no way to change it and keep that 25 GB of space from MobileMe. You would have to create a new iCloud account - which would involve many other hassles as well - and delete the old one.
Spam is, unfortunately, just a fact of life these days. You just need to use a good spam filter that will act on the messages on the server. If Mail on your iMac is successfully catching those messages, leave the iMac running with Mail open. It should file spam away so you will see very little of it on other devices that don't have spam filtering (like an iPhone).
Alternately, if Mail is not doing the job, try a different filter, like SpamSieve.

How Can I Get SPAM Control On iPad Email?

I have a shared email account on my Mac and iPad. When checking email on the Mac no spam, when checking email on iPad Spam Galore! Is spam control possible on the iPad or is this something your have to live with?

I see, though I would still believe that Verizon would have a similar email address to which you could forward the spam message. As a bit of a longshot o wuld try to call Verizon tech support and see if they have any way to add email addresses to the universal spam filter. Don't give up hope, we all know dealing with any kind of repetitious spam can make our iPad user experience less than exciting. Cheers!

If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen. There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

How can I stop mail on iPad from going to next message when deleting an email?

How can I stop the mail app from moving to the next message when deleting an email?
I like to keep messages as new until I can take action on them, but this just makes an unnecessary step. I do not have this problem on my iPhone, but I am still running 5.0.1 on the phone and have the new iPad 5.1 software.

Hi furiousbalancing,
With regards to deleting messages in Mail, you may find the following portion of the following article helpful:
To prevent the next message from being automatically selected (and marked as read), hold down the Option key when you delete a message.
Mail (Mavericks): Delete messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14900
You can also use Command-Shift-U to toggle a message between Read and Unread (command should be the same in Mavericks):
Mail (Mountain Lion): Keyboard shortcuts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11679
You can also close the Preview portion of the Mail window, which should then require you to double-click on a message to open it and have it show as read (it appears the double click on the seperator may no longer work in Mavericks, but you should still be able to drag it to make it disappear):

Messages sent from my iPhone to a certain contact also now come up on my husbands iPhone . This happens since we face timed the contact from my new iPad at Xmas . My husband uses my iCloud as we share iTunes info . How can I stop this happening ?

Since getting an iPad at Xmas , we facetimed a mutual contact on the ipad , now messages I send from my iPhone 3GS to that contact show up on my husbands iPhone 4 . He does use my iCloud and iTunes account as we share music . How can I stop my messages going to his iPhone ?

Hello lisa.burton35,
If what you want to do is share your purchases with one Apple ID and have other stuff separate, that's pretty easy.
Check out the section "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store purchases" in this article.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
Basically he would use your Apple ID for the Stores (iTunes, Apps, iBooks) and his Apple ID for everything else (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, FaceTime, Messages etc).
Now if he has been purchasing stuff on his own account then you would have to make some choices on the purchase accounts.
You may also want to check out Family Sharing, which allows people to share purchases within a familly, each having their own IDs.
Family Sharing - Apple Support
Enjoy your iPhones,

I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.
