HT4933 Got a phishing TEXT yesterday morning to my phone saying I had won a free MacBook asking me to go to ieappleoverstock.cc Needs to be checked out. Came from a 161 number
Got a phishing TEXT to my phone from "ieappleoverstock.cc" saying I had won a MacBook! Came from a 161 number. How did they get my number? I discovered that many others got similar text to their phones from different numbers. What's going on? I live in Ireland. Is this international scam?? John
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple have no control over what texts you receive, it's something you need to be vigilant about yourself.

Have got a Windows Vista basic and had run a a trial version of LR4 on it - just purchased an LR5 without checking out the complete system requirements. Can I get a complete download of LR4 so that the money I've spent is not wasted. I am not interested in upgrading to Windows 7 currently.
There are still retail packs of LR 4 to be found out there - for example, on EBay. It's just important to be careful whether it's a full version, an upgrade, or a student + teacher version. And to be certain it's genuine, and has a serial number which has never been activated before. The serial number that you get with that, should work with any 4.x version of LR, on either MacOS or Windows. And it will almost certainly be heavily discounted compared with the previous price direct from Adobe.
Of course the other way is to upgrade to Windows 7 SP1, which should also be available discounted, and thus eke out the life of an older PC (I personally would not go to Win8 in such a case). Maybe pick up some RAM also, if that's a problem, provided you can do so cheaply (since that will be simply thrown away in due course, when you get a newer PC),
Using LR4 instead of LR5 you do miss out on a few nice features, as well as potentially the Raw support and lens profiles for more recent camera equipment.
LR 4 is obsolete as far as Adobe is concerned. They will not sell a Serial Number for it. -

HELP! i woke this morning to my phone saying it needs to be connected to itunes.
when i try to connect it says restore to factory settings cause my phone cannot be recognized.... what should i do? i dont want to lose everything
Connect it to iTunes and restore from the backup...see what data is still there.
There is no reason at this point to suspect a new phone is needed. -
My battery was fully charged. The notice for an update came up so I told it to start. Then the phone shut off and won't turn back on. When I plug it back in, I can hear it "revving" but it still won't turn on. Any ideas?
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

I just got an iphone 4 yesterday. I got everything all set up and working great. When I woke up last this morning, my ipod has no sound and the albums covers are all mixed up. I've checked all my settings and volume control. My text sound won't work either. However, my ringtone works just fine.
Have you taken the steps recommended in the User Guide: restart, reset, restore?

Updated my 3GS to iOS 5 yesterday morning and can no longer receive texts
hey guys,
I've been pulling my hair out for the last 24 hours... I upgraded to iOS 5 yesterday morning but left my phone to do so whilst i was watching tv but when i came back up it looked as though it had been upgraded and i had to set up all the locations etc... i noticed that when i text someone i would get the 'SMS Mailbox full...' note which completely confused me as i have never got that before. anyway i called up Apple and they told me to restore to factory and start as a new phone which has worked but has meant me losing my old texts and photos and music etc. he said to me to retry in a few days but i dont understand how because i cant find a way of downloading the firmware again and wouldnt the back up (of the one before i upgraded) now be corrupt?
Can someone help as i'm really frustrated
sorry for the essay.. i do ramble.

Why do text messages from my iPad appear to some people as if they came from my email address instead of my phone number? This does not happen when I send text messages from my iPhone.
You need to link your iPhone number to Messages - and Facetime if you use it. For Messages go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessage at. If your phone number is showing there, select it as your Contact address. If it doesn't appear in there, take a look at the end of this article for help.

I got the iPhone 5s this morning and I kept my number and as soon as it charged I got all my messages, but when I connected it to my iCloud and backed it up, when it was finished all the messages I received were gone. How do I get them back?
Hi sofia124,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have either set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or restored from a backup that didn’t have your messages on it. If you do have either an iCloud or iTunes backup that you believe has your messages saved, you can restore from that backup to recover your information. Please use the attached article as a reference for restoring from a backup.
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Have a great day,

I just got a new Mac yesterday and I am trying to connect my Logitech headset for work but can't! I plug it into the USB but nothing pops up and I can't find where I go to look to see if it's connected. HELP!
Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first. Then use mine if that fails.

I got a new iPhone yesterday. The sales people set it up to use. I want to have all the apps, pics, etc from my iPod to be on the new iPhone. How do I do this from my iCloud backup of the iPod??
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos. Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...
