I am suspicious of an email about iCloud account? Is there a phish going round?

I purchased more storage in my iCloud account earlier last year.   I have just received an email advising that a particular card will be debited in April, unless I downgrade my account.
It refers to a card I only took out last November and long after the new storage was ordered.   But it does cite the correct last four digits.  I would not have used this card for the storage purpose.
It is a very good looking email and takes me to Apple-looking items.    It is a no-reply address and, in any event, due to my suspicions, I would not reply.
You know the old saying - even if you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you.
I have tried the Apple support form but it doesn't really lend itself to this sort of enquiry.
Anyone received off renewal emails?
Thank yhou

iCloud Storage is charged via iTunes payment method so it you changed that after you got your new card that would explain why it would be the one charged. You can review/change your payment method at Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • HT204053 Receving emails by icloud account or Apple ID account

    I don't want emails to "icloud account" appear on "Apple ID account". Is it possible? Can anybody help ? Thanks a lot.

    See this link:  Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID       http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

    cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

    The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
    SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

    I cant send email via icloud account.  I have a BT router for vision

    Thanks for the suggestion - it turned out that it was actually my workplace's network that automatically blocks external SMTP servers (for some security reason), so the email(s) sent perfectly once I went home and connected to May home network. Annoying!

    If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

  • HT4847 If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?

    If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, is there an amount of storage made per device available free?  So that you are rewarded for the additional devices?
    If this multi purchase if devices is not rewarded with a larger cloud storage being available, would it then be best to have several separate cloud accounts?
    Would you lose the ability to mesh data between devices???  Of could you choose to share a smaller part of the data and yet save the rest of the device data to their own cloud?  So in other words, split a devices stored data between 2 different icloud accounts?   One community iCloud account for partial data and individual account for data that does not need to be shared with the other devices, however it needs to be backed up.  The simpler solutions would be If you have several Apple devices feeding to the same iCloud account, an amount of storage made available per device (ie: 5 units of storage free per device)
    ~ So that you are rewarded for the additional Apple devices by giving 5 more units of storage or backup space per device

    Nobody here is an Apple employee, and my Christmas Season has been great, thanks very much. Neither am I jealous, I just abhor the fact that so many people these days expect more and more for free, in addition to what they already get for free. First world problems...
    Obviously Apple do consider people with multiple devices, since the whole purpose of the service is to keep data in sync across multiple devices. Clearly, after consideration, Apple decided to give 5GB of storage for free and provide customers with the option to buy more storage if they want/need more, in line with competing services.
    Everyone has their own set of unique circumstances but does that mean everyone should be rewarded with extras for free? At what point should it be considered acceptable to actually pay for additional extras you want?
    And by the way, somebody expressing a different opinion, and discussing people's expectations is not being rude. Aren't you from the country that supposedly takes 'freedom of speech' rather seriously?

  • After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account. There is a message appear and said  "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)" can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ? iPhone 4

    After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account.
    There is a message appear and said  "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"
    can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ?
    iPhone 4, iOS 7
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7, (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"

    Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
    Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
    Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
    How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
    Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
    Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
    Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
    Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
    It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

  • Can't send email from iCloud accounts on Mac

    A few hours ago I couldn't login and receive email to my icloud accounts this appears to have been fixed but I still cant send email. I've checked all passwords in preferences.
    I can login to icloud via the browser and send email Ok.
    I can send email from my iCloud accounts on my iPhone.
    But can't send mail using Sparrow or Mac Mail on the desktop.
    This all seems to have happened since I installed the latest security update.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • HT201342 cannot get email from icloud account

    Incoming email on iCloud not working all of a sudden.
    Followed trouble shooting guide... not working

    I assume that though your signature says you are running 10.4.8 you are actually running Lion or Mountain Lion? If so please amend the signature to prevent confusion.
    Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck Mail in the list there: then re-check it. This should set Mail up again to access the account. If this doesn't work, sign out completely, reboot, then sign back in again. You iCloud data will disappear from your Mac but reappear when you sign back in.
