I get an email from Apple? asking me to change my Apple ID password. Is this real?

I have been getting an email from Apple? asking me to change my Apple ID password. Is this real. I have never seen it before in many years of Mac use. I don't want to click on it in case it's fraudulent. Has this happened to anyone else?

If you were able to use your existing Apple ID and password to successfully log in to this site and post your question, then they remain valid and the email is a phishing attempt. Delete it.
To anyone else coming across this post who fell victim to this or a similar phishing scam by entering their Apple ID and password on the authentic-looking page linked in the email: your credentials have been stolen.
In that event follow the "Want to change your Apple ID or password" instructions on this Apple Support page: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

Is Apple asking people to change their Apple i.d Login Password because of the recent issue with the Developer Site ?

Hi Guys & Gals,
Ive used the same Apple i.d login password for years but recently ive been prompted to change the password to continue to use itunes etc.
Im not a registered developer.
Any ideas if the two are connected ?

When i went to update an app on my iPhone 5 i was prompted to change my password only after answering two security questions and then i received an e mail from Apple confirming a change had been done from this address :
From:           Apple <[email protected]>
Subject:           Account Info Change
Date:           23 July 2013 07:21:24 GMT+01:00

They are not from Apple/iTunes, they are phishing attempts to try and get your account and payment details - don't click on any of the links in them.
If you still have the emails then you could forward them to Apple : [email protected]

HT5312 My rescue email address is no longer used, I can't get any emails from apple about my security questions. What shall I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I am signed into my iTunes account. However, Im asked for answers to security questions I can't remember. I have clicked to reset through e-mail, yet I am not getting any email from iTunes. Any advice on fixing this?

If you are not getting the email, you can contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:
ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get them reset, check your Rescue Email address on Manage Your Apple ID to make sure it is still a functional address. It is not the same as your primary or alternate address.

HT5312 I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset when I did not reset them. Started early June 2013 and in a month i have had to reset it three times. Apple support was not helpful. Any suggestions?

I keep getting an email from Apple telling me that my Apple Id has been successfully reset. I did not reset it. Since early June 2013 to now i have had to reset it 3 times. It is not an easy one to remember either. Initally I thought it was some pfishing expedition but no purchases have been confirmed by my visa. My kids use my Apple Id to download APs and I am informed when this happens. Nothing strange happening on the financial site at all. Just frustrating as we have to keep updating the ID to use messenger, I cloud etc on all of the devices. I called Apple Support and the girl initally said she knew nothing about this but then spoke to someone else and they are aware of this ongoing problem and are working on it. Any suggestions? Are others having the same problems?

If the system didn't ship with Mountain Lion originally and you didn't purchase Mountain Lion yourself, then you will need to purchase. A purchase by the system's original owner cannot be transferred to you.
Unless you have another system on which you have purchased Mountain Lion, you will need to first install Mac OS X 10.6.8 on the iMac, for which you'll need either the original installation disks, if the iMac came with 10.6, or a retail copy of 10.6. Install 10.6 and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, and then you can buy Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store, presuming of course that the imac can support Mountain Lion. See:

TS4009 Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?

Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?

You were (previously) a member at MobileMe and got 20GB's of free iCloud storage in addition to the 5GB's offered by the "free" iCloud service.
At the end of this month the 20GB's will go "poof" (like the rest of MobileMe).

ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.

Verizon rep told me that the tracking info doesnt matter until we get an email from fedex?

About 4 reps said the shipped/not shipped info doesnt mean anything but if it wasnt a pre order, when it would have shiped. And to not trust it until you get an email from fedex.
So everyone shouldnt worry if it says processing, you will still get it.
And for the ones that say shipped, dont get too excited until around the 7th lol.
I really wish verizon wireless in general would confirm this though.

Did you call CS 4 times to ask the same question? I don't recall ever getting an email from Fedex for ANYTHING I've ever ordered online from Verizon or anywhere...unless I've requested on the fedex website to be emailed when I did the tracking...but I had the tracking # from the company I ordered from first.
Also, you may want to leave CS alone with the "when will this ship" business...there are people having computer issues trying to place orders and they're getting inundated with "when will this ship?" when the confirmations clearly say 2/10/11. If your order says it's been shipped then AT LEAST give it 24 hours to see if you get a tracking # before you call.
I mean seriously, most of us have waited for years for the iphone...can we wait just 1 more week?
You get an email from Fedex? Or from the company? I don't think I've ever received an email from Fedex directly...I've gotten emails from the company I'm ordering from with a link to the fedex website and the tracking info, but never from fedex...
