I accidentally opened a fraudulent email and its attachment.

I accidently opened a fraudulant email and its attachment on my Iphone, I feel so silly.
Could my iphone, the information on it and its apps be compromised?
I appreciate the replies!

There actually is malware for the Mac, though it's rare. That's beside the point, though, since you're talking about an iPhone!
There is no malware capable of infecting an iPhone AT&T his time, unless the phone has been jailbroken. If you haven't jailbroken it, which involves disabling the security of iOS to allow installation of software from sources outside the App Store, then you're fine.

My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck.

Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop. Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
Hope this helps

I had mine mess up a few months ago and tried to get the e-mail three different times and it never came. I ended up scheduling for a tech to call me to figure it out.

Is there a function to open the outlook mail and to attach certain..

Hello,
Is there a function to open the outlook mail and to attach certain selected files?

here is a code snippet from one of our programs
data: out type ole2_object,
        outmail type ole2_object,
        att type ole2_object,
        atts type ole2_object.
      create object out 'Outlook.Application'.
      call method of out 'CREATEITEM' = outmail
        exporting
          #1 = 0.
      set property of outmail 'SUBJECT' = 'Smartform Output from SAP'.
      call method of outmail 'ATTACHMENTS' = atts.
      call method of atts 'ADD'
        exporting
          #1 = p_file.
      call method of outmail 'DISPLAY'.
in our case, we save the data to a local file with the path p_file.
so, we create the attachment on a local drive, at path p_file
we open outlook
we create a mail item
we set the subject
we add the attachment
and we call disply, to pop the email up for any changes the user wants to make.
in other programs we also use
set property of outmail 'TO' = alvline-prc_email.
to set the TO address of the email
hope this helps

How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

I am new to Indesign Server.
I'm currently working on a pdf.
I have a white blank pdf template.
that I want to attach/glue it with images.
How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

When I open up my emails and close them, they disappear and I cannot find them. Where are they going? Is there a setting that I have to change?

Once I open up my emails they disappear and I cannot find them anymore. Is there a setting that I need to change to stop this from happening?

Are you tapping any of the icons at the of the Mail app after opening them, or do they disappear without you doing anything ? And if you have more than one account on the iPad, does it happen on your other accounts as well ?

Then, if you’re using iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes, don’t also sync them to your device using iTunes. I use iCloud and have no sync selections selected in the iTunes Info panes for my iDevices.

I accidentally opened a malicious email with my iPhone. Are there any specific precautions/actions I should take?

I awoke one morning and in my "still not awake" state, I checked my email on my iPhone to find a "your deposit was rejected" email in my inbox. Having deposited a check online the night before, and still not completely conscious, I opened the email and clicked the link to the bank statement. Had my eyes not been blurry and I was actually awake I would have realized earlier that this was neither my bank nor that sneaky of an attempt to get me to click on the link. I realized about 3 seconds after clicking on the link that this was malicious, closed the mail app, closed safari, cleared the cookies and closed all tabs, deleted the email from the inbox and trash.
Is there any danger of this foolish mistake migrating to my MBP? Is there anything more that I should do to avoid this becoming a larger security breach?
I appreciate all answers.

There is an antivirus app in Apple's ios app store. It is from Intego. It will not scan your ios device, but it will scan the attachment that you found on your email and if it is malicious then the scan should identify it and give you the option to safely delete or quarantine it. You have to use your finger or a stylus to select what you want it to scan. You just press down on what you want it to scan and don't let go, and then it launches and quickly scans that one item. This is useful to make sure you don't spread it to other people more so than protecting your own device, I've heard, as the ios devices are already fairly safe.
I have the Intego app and can vouch that it is easy to use. I scanned a few pdf files I saved on my iPhone 4 and they were clean.
If you are worried about your Mac, I recommend trying ESET antivirus for Mac. It is light on resources and does not cause any problems, whereas most other antivirus software programs are notorious for causing problems on the Mac. I've had ESET since June on my iMac and haven't had any problems, and it does not slow down my Mac or hog resources.

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID email and its all verified ok but on my iPhone 5 every time I go to update an App or buy an App it comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for a password. Why doesn't it have my new ID because on Apple ID link it does?

I've changed my Apple ID password and when I go to the Apple ID link the changes have been emailed and are all verified. However, when I try to do something with an App or iTunes etc on my iPhone 5 it still comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for the password and I don't have the option to overtyped the Sppld ID section with the new email I've set. I can't update Apps or buy Apps because of this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

I have a new email address but when I try to open apple ID my iPad automatically opens the old email and says my password is incorrect. I can't get around it.

I have a new email address but when I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID for Apple store my iPad automatically shows my old email and rejects my password. How do I get around this?

I kind of agree with Philly on this one. If you get a new email address, there is no need to establish an entirely new account to use that address. You just need to modify your account to show the new email address. This way all your purchase history and rights to purchased apps stays in place. Creating a new iTunes/Apple account each time your email address changes really doesn't make sense in my opinion. I only point this out for future searchers who end up on this thread.

Forms 6i, open default mail client and add attachment to message

Hi,
I would like to use some functionality in my forms application. I want call some action, that opens default mail client in windows platform and add some attachment to message. I want to do this for my reports. I am exporting reports to PDF files. I am using oracle forms / reports 6.0.8.12.1 version. And I cant use build-in PDF export functionality, because exported PDF files are in old PDF version and I have problem with Czech charakters. So I am using my own virtual PDF printer for printing reports. A now I would like to send report as mail attachment. I know that there is this functionality in report preview. When I click button with letter image (showed on screenshot at http://img20.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=00067_screen_122_899lo.JPG) the default mail client is opened in this is created new messages with report (eps) in attachment.
That is what i need. Only open default mail client and add own attachment to message.
I found only one solution for Outlook, but I need open default mail client (for example Mozilla Thunderbird etc.)
Can You help me? Or send some solution how it is solved in report previewer?
Thank you.

Hi,
metalink Note 47498.1 "Programmatically Sending a Fax/Email via Microsoft Exchange" may be a good documentation for you. Have a look in there.

HT5824 I have an old iPhone4 that I want to clear...trying to find the email and password attached to it.the phone has been sent to a person in Washington state...how do I unlock and clear it from here?

I have given an old iphone4 to a friend in need. It is in her possession. I am trying to unlock...when I go to find my it under my devices it is not included to unlock it. In the meantime she cannot clear it without my clearing it...she went into an apple store and was told I have to clear it, I talked to verizon...they said she may have to mail it back to me...as I cannot seem to connect it with the right email.and password. What can I do?

The "If you no longer have your iOS device" section of What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may help.

I accidentally opened a fraudulent email and its attachment.
