I got an email from AppleCare Support about a call I never made
I got this email about an apparent call I made to AppleCare Support. I never made any such call. If that is so, then why did I receive this email? Did someone call with my account information or is this scam?

ONE SUGGESTION - make SURE your email is ONLY VISIBLE to YOURSELF in your Privacy Prefs. They had to get email addy somewhere and know that you were an Apple Customer somehow. Guests can peruse Profiles as well as RegUsers <= I am NOT gonna say it)
2 summers ago, I was live-in caregiver for my Dad & Mom. I am watchin TV in the back room and before I know what's happening, my poor folks had given some gypsies $100 cash to 'clean' the outside of their gutters! The hook those f****** used was elegantly simple. They had gone into HomeDepot, grabbed a handful of Behr Product brochures and were saying they were using this stuff to clean with at $60/gallon! Turns out the product was really $6 (SIX) /gallon!! They were just about to get a check for $600 from my Mom (had it written about to sign and hand it over) when I wandered out to the front and saw the commotion. I immediately put a stop to it. Papa Gypsy started to get in my face & fight before his kinsmen grabbed him and dragged him off as I was calling 911.
Moral... trust NO-ONE - in any form of media - no matter how slick the deal looks. My poor OLD folks still don't realize what happened. They think *I* was the a******!
All your scammer had to do was parrot Applese, design with alot of white space, put real looking footers and such. The tell to me for sure was "Call Apple" with NO NUMBER (I didn't think you intentionally edited that out)
Glad you posted and I was able to help. Maybe Apple will sick their goons on 'em I'd have goons if I was rich and powerful wouldn't you?

I keep getting emails from Apple support about changing my password.
I keep getting emails from apple saying someone is trying to reset my password when I have not done such a thing. A couple days ago after the 4th email I decided to reset it myself just incase. Now im still getting a email from apple stating that someone is trying to reset it.
Apple do send out an email if you change your password that is genuine
You could change the password to see if the emails are genuine or phishing by getting a genuine email from Apple
No way otherwise if you cannot tell if they are genuine or otherwise -
I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it?
The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future? -
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. After setting up my new laptop, I got an email from Apple about upgrading to OSX Lion. I wasn't sure what the email was so I accidentally deleted it. Afterwards, I was informed that I need this upgrade and I have no way of retrieving this email. Is there anyway another email can be sent out to me so I don't have to purchase OSX Lion through the App Store?
Visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate and follow the appropriate links. You will be asked what your serial number is and where you purchased your computer but you will get lion free of charge.

Got the email from Apple about Aperture this morning. They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS? If not, I want, at a minimum, a refund for what I paid for the app.
They had a huge omission: are they going to keep Aperture compatible with future iOS?
There will be no further development of Aperture. That much should be clear from the announcement, that Aperture will no longer be sold at the AppStore. You are lucky - you used the last chance to buy the best photos app ever Apple created. The new Photos is not intended to be used by professional photographers like Aperture was. And you will be able to use and enjoy it as long as you keep a compatible operating system on your Mac. -
Hi I bought macbook Pro Retina 1.3 from India on the 29th March 2014 and currently I am in Norway. And suddenly I can see the inside display screen is broken. Nothing from outside and the main top screen. I got by email from the shop in India, Mumbai where I purchased it and I have the photos of the screen where do I upload kindly urgently do let me know. It is under warranty till today and I need your urgent details so that I can upload required datas and I shall go back to India on the 5th April 2015 hence I need to get from you how to go about. Thank you. Uday Kumar Ghosh +47 455 48 953
Thank you. I did contact Apple Norway and they already raised a case no based on which I shall go and hand over my mac pro retina 13inch. As per Apple Norway, as the case has been registered before the expiry of the warranty, Apple India to accept the warranty as well and get the set repaired under warranty. Thank you.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

I accidentally deleted my apple gift card which I got via email from a friend. How can I get to it?
If you have the receipt, no guarantees but definitely contact Apple > Contacting Apple for support and service
They might make an exception. -
I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia. I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone? I still have to put my passcode in.
What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

Why am I getting loads of emails from apple support
Why am I getting emails from Apple support discussions on all topics. I just had over 1300 emails. Also on my iPhone.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

How do I stop the stream of emails from the support discussions?
First of all - I'm new to the world of the Mac - which is a great world and I thank you for the solution to my question about printing Avery labels! However, my incoming mailbox is now flooded with discussion comments and questions of every sort. This is a very busy season. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to read through tutorials to find a solution to this dilemma! Thanks....
You should also check to see if you are subscribed to any of the communities.
Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question. Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community. Probably the community where you asked your question. Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. It isn't in any of the Your Stuff places, so its easy to miss and I think that this is not included in the tutorial, either

i just got an email from Apple, asking me to complete a survey. If I don't then I'll loose my Apple ID. I think this is spam/virus/hacker. Anybody have any info on this?
There have been a number of phishing scam emails going around for at least half a year...do not respond, click links, or do anything with that email. Apple does not operate that way.

It is a phishing attempt to get your personal infomation.
Do not reply and delete the email. -
Hi I got an email from itunes saying that my pre order was ready and when I click on the link from my ipad it takes me to the itunes store app and then it doesn't do anything help with this please .
<Link Edited By Host>Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!
