Is this a legitimate Apple Support message?

I received a message from this web address: http://westemzagros.com/mac/fp/00/mac/fp/00/file.html stating I had used up most of my allowable storage space.Clicking on the link would allow me to resolve the issue. Before I do anything, can someone confirm this a legitimate Apple Support message?

No, it's phishing. Ignore and delete.

Is this a legitimate Apple number? 1-800-680-4131.

I'm getting a pop-up notice that says "Safari Alert" from www.macsystemalerts.com to the effect that I have "security issues" and "suspicious activity might have been detected" and to call 1-800-680-4131 immediately. Is this a real Apple number? I've never gotten anything like that from Apple before and it sounds fishy to me. Anyone know anything about this?

PastorL5's solution below worked for me except I didn't have to restart Safari. While Safari was open, I held down the command key while pressing the W key a bunch of times. That got rid of the Major security Issue call 800-680-4131 box and I was able to use Safari as normal again. The problem originally occurred when I tried to watch a live tv show for free online and downloaded what appeared to be MPlayerX.dmg, but I think it was just a virus. Before I tried this solution, I had put that dmg in the trash. I don't know if I also need to remove other files from my ard drive. Does anyone else know?

Re: Is this a legitimate Apple number? 1-800-680-4131.in response to Kellen Anderson
Kellen, when as Safari was opening I held down Command and repeatedly hit the "W" key to close all the windows Safari had opened and it fixed it right up!

How to set up a new apple e-mail address when already have an existing Apple ID

Hello
Thank you for taking a look at my query - I have searched many posts but not found a specific answer to my question - so please help!
My dilemma:
I am in effect running everything smoothly - I am already on iCloud and have an @me.com mail address.
The problem arises in that I need to change my name (due to a divorce) and hence my e-mail address - I would like to use my maiden name for obvious reasons!
So what have I tried?:
I have set up a new Apple ID using a 'hotmail' address, as you need an existing address to set an ID, but would actually like a new 'apple' address. How do I do this? Since I have registered all my devices (iMac, iPad 3 and iPhone 3GS) with iCloud already using my married name ID it seems I am unable to get another appleID? Is this true? Is there a way around this?
Concerns:
I have many communications with lawyers and ex and various other things I would like to keep on my existing apple ID/mail account (and also itunes etc) I still need to be able to access this information. I am happy to keep this apple ID active at the same time as having the new ID if this is possible on all the same devices? Currently however I do not know how to do this, i.e. run two mail accounts through iCloud OR ideally transfer my info to the new ID - however from reading around I believe this latter (logical) option may be impossible?
So:
... I need a knight (or maiden) in shining armour to help me understand my options, answer the Q's above and provide the steps I have to follow to do this as I am no IT guru! And as there are many similar Qs without a clear answer I'm sure you will gain lots of points!
Thanking you kindly in advance!
PS. Apple if you are reading this please can you do something about this situation as there seem to be many questions around this issue. Unfortunately divorce and name changes are a frequent part of life these days and it would be good if you can accommodate this!

OK, so I realised I was still within my 90days of being able to get support from Apple due to recent iPad3 purchase.
So between what I have gleaned from this forum and what I have learnt from the support call here I hope is a comprehensive one stop shop answer to the question... "How do I get another Apple e-mail address ?" It's not straight forward but bear with me as you will get a result (also if anyone with IT prowess can offer further advice or clarification please do reply to this so we keep all info in the same place)... right - we shall begin:
First a few points to bear in mind/wise words that I wish I was aware of before:
You preferably do not want more than one Apple ID so that syncing etc is straight forward. SO create an e-mail address that you will be happy to have no matter what, whether you are married/divorced (and yes it unfortunately could happen...) etc...
So...
1. First go to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in. Should go straight to your Name, ID and e-mail tab.
2. OK you are now presented with one of two scenarios....
a) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is a me.com (or mac.com) then you are unlikely to have an edit option next to this line - follow point 3. Another ID has to be generated, and unfortunately (as Winston Churchill above rightly pointed out, the problem that you will have on the whole is that any purchases you make from the iTunes Store under your previous account, will be inaccessible on many of your devices. - IF however all you wanted is a new e-mail address and you are happy to keep running your old ID at the same time - there is a way around this .... read on to point 3)
b) If your AppleID and primary e-mail address is not a me.com (or mac.com) then - follow point 4. This is the better option to have, hop skip and jump with glee as you will in effect have the same ID account and syncing will not be an issue. But note that your new ID will not be editable going forward so head my words of wisdom above.
NB. If you already have more than one ID and one of the 'Apple ID and primary e-mail' is editable i.e. 2b) then choose this option to change as it is simpiler to manage.
3. OK lots of steps here and explanations:
i) You need to create another Apple ID - there are two ways of doing this a) if you go to your iphone or ipad settings > iCloud > delete your account (Don't worry you are effectively only signing out and not deleting) (you'll be given an option what to do with your contacts) > The page will then give you an option to create a new Apple ID.... follow the steps, and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
b) If you do not have an iphone or ipad - use your computer: Go to sytem preferences > icloud > sign out of account (again you will be given an option to keep contacts on the computer etc. do what is appropriate for you). An iCloud window should then pop up - and there is an option to 'Create an Apple ID'... follow the steps, in 2nd step (after date of birth input) go for the free iCloud option and do not use an existing e-mail address (e.g. hotmail or gmail)... as it then gets more complicated (I did go down this route as I didn't know any better - so I can explain if you wish to know - just ask) - continue with the steps and you will get a new me.com AppleID and primary e-mail address.
ii) Now assuming you have an itunes account and other devices... and you will want to sync everything across devices... then ensure you log back into your OLD account and use this as your main account on all devices. This will keep all things synced between devices with no problems.
iii) To get your new e-mail account active go to all your devices and computer and just add the new me.com address as another account:
a) on iphone and ipad: settings > mail, contacts, calendars > "add account"
b) on computer assuming you use mail: Mail>preferences>account information> hit the '+' under the left hand account box and fill in the details... You will then effectively have two mail boxes running in mail - your previous and new one. What I have noticed is that you can drag and drop (which will copy) mailboxes you created in your old account into your new account - which is great as you can keep the stored messages to hand and effectively you can taper down use of the old account (or use as you wish) over time and eventually not notice the old account is in the background.
Hey presto you have a new e-mail address AND your devices are syncing itunes, photostream etc...
4) So - much better option....
i) create a new Apple ID as per point 3i) above.
ii) go back to www.myinfo.apple.com, change your country as required and click on manage your account. Log-in with old ID. Under Apple ID and primary e-mail adress - click edit and now insert your new me.com Apple ID. This will now be both your ID and primary e-mail address. This is where my knowledge (gleaned from this Forum) stops on this option - as unfortunately it did not apply to me. But I think it will get you where you want!
Hope all this info helps rather than hinders!! It definitely would have helped me
Enjoy.

Strange Apple e-mail address

Since summer 2014 i continuously receive promotional’s e-mails from this address:
“[email protected]” and I never subscribe any mailing list in Apple France and i don’t want to receive this kind of communication anymore. Is that a Apple e-mail address? What can i do?
Thx!

Delivery problems with Apple Store mailing address

Hello all,
I just sent the following letter to Apple; I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem (missing mailing address lines) ?
Dear Apple,
I'd like to point out a potential problem in Apple Store mailing addresses.
During the past two years, I have now witnessed three (3) separate occasions, where the shipping address I give in my Apple Store order does not correctly end up in the actual mailing label.
The most recent case was today, when I (by sheer luck) received my Logic Pro 7.2 upgrade. The address I originally gave in my order was like this:
John Doe
My Home Street 123
MyCompany Ltd.
Helsinki, 00440
Finland
The first line is my name, the second line the street address, the third line my company, and the last line city and zip code.
However, the address that was in the envelope goes like this:
John Doe
MyCompany Ltd.
Helsinki, 00440
Finland
So the problem is, that the street address never made it to the mailing label. The envelope came addressed to me and my company; no street address at all. Fortunately the local post office knew where to find us.
I've seen this happen at least two times before, and it's always either the company name or the street address that's missing. They are not only missing from the mailing label in the envelope, they are also missing from the actual Apple Delivery Note that's inside the package. So it seems, that somewhere in your mailing process (at least for Finland) one of the address lines simply gets deleted.
I haven't (yet) lost anything valuable, but I'm getting really uncertain if I have the courage to order anything more valuable from your web store.
I hope you can fix this A.S.A.P. (or at least remove the extra address line from the order form, so that users won't put any crucial information into it).

I don't want to show the e-mail address in the "from" line when I send out e-mails. Is there a way to hide that? Thank you!

Mailing address for apple?, Mailing address for apple?

I called ipod support and they gave me a repair number but no mailing address. He said to just bring my ipod and the number to UPS. He also didn't mention bringing a box. Is it true that all I need is my ipod and the number? I think you'd need a box and address.

They should be sending YOU a box with a return shipping label. I am assuming you provided them with your address to send this information to? If not, I would recommend contacting them again to clear this up.

I can't update apps on my IPhone because my e-mail address is different from the one that shows up on my apps update screen

I can no longer update my apps on my IPhone 4 because I have a new e-mail account. When I try to update with my Apple ID the e-mail that shows up on the screen is my old e-mail address and since I once shared that with another person I no longer know the Apple ID for that particular e-mail.
How do I change the old e-mail address and keep it from showing up on my apps update screen? I have deleted the old e-mail account from my phone.
Thank you

Hello dear people of MSI,
I was wondering if you could check out following problems
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?sid=&postid=346396#post346396
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showindex.php?s=ba699dfb6cfba51384ff361e1596328b&threadid=17236172&perpage=30&pagenumber=1
these are posts made by me and other users I have come into contact with. All my problems are also their problems, and some of them are very serious(AGP/PCI lock failing when FSB reaches 220 fsb etc, and as result a fried videocard and lost data). As stated on that MSI forum above customers are have having the greatest problems accomplishing a mere 10% overclock on very good cooling. This is just a sign that there are problems that really need to be worked out, especially when your other socket 754 boards are so good?
So plz look over the links listed and read them, plz do not send me a standard mailingreply back but for once just try and help your customers who have bought your product in good faith. The way it is happening now is that there are alot(yes we are talking 1000's)of users who are growing angry with the lack of support they are getting.
All this word of mouth can only be bad for your company, not adressing the real issues at hand only makes people more reluctant to ever buy MSI again. I and many other users would like to know when you hope to fix these problems with the K8N Neo platinum. You made such a good board in the Neo FISR-2 and it performs flawlessly up to 300fsb so why not the K8N cuz this one failes for some users even at anything over 218?
keep me posted on any updates and fixes that are coming soon, I have bios revision 1.1 as you see but so far none of the bioses around fix these major issues(referring here to the beta bioses, 1.13 and 1.2 beta 5 and 12).
Hoping to hear a positive reaction from you,
regards,
Peter

So my question is, what is this W7030NMS.12C bios? When he says new bios, doesn't he actually mean beta??? Can someone clear this up for me. In the zipfile i got from them are two files,
W7030NMS.12C --->> Which bios is this and how old is it? Does it fix temps, fix pci lock failure
AWFL833D.EXE --->> Obviously the flash utility
If what they sent me is one of the bioses I spoke about in above quote(see : so far none of the bioses around fix these major issues(referring here to the beta bioses, 1.13 and 1.2 beta 5 and 12))then they don't do a good job of reading my actual mail;)
regards,
Capcom

Why are they so secretive about what they did in a new bios version, how can someone then know a thing??? I too would like to know what issues they have been adressing, but pretty soon I will start thinking the reason they don't say is cuz maybe they can't fix it:(:(

Need to change outgoing mail address which is from an old account

We recently switched to a new internet service provider, but the old address is by default still being sent as the outgoing (from:) address in the Mail application. Is there a way to remove that address? The problem is not with the service provider because I have been able to check the current valid inbox address through the service provider's homepage online. The problem must lie with a setting in the computer that has retained the old address as a default.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're sending from the new account, that address is the outgoing mail address, by default. Did you try deleting the server of the old account? It could be sending mail out through that server instead of the one provided by the new ISP, which would change the outgoing mail address.
Go to Preferences > Accounts and select the new account; look near the bottom of the window where it says "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" and check to be sure that is set to the server provided by your new mail provider. If it's not, you need to select the correct one from the pop-down list.

HT201303 Is this a legitimate apple e-mail address to receive from, or a scam?
