I have an iPhone 3GS and in the past 2 days I've gotten 5 emails saying that someone has logged in to my apple ID from an iphone 3gs using iMessage...

So, yes I do have an iPhone 3gs and yes it might be me who logs in bla bla bla, point is... I have not used iMessage as I don't know how to. Also, I have not logged into my Apple ID account through it as I have not been asked to log in, nor have I downloaded any Apps lately that would require me to put my login info into my phone.
I tried fixing this yesterday by changing my password, which I did, but I keep getting said emails... how can I stop those emails or how can I make it so that I don't log into iMessage (whatever that is).
I've texted a couple of friends since yesterday, but all of them have standard non-smart-phones...
Can anyone help please?
Thanks

Thanks a lot!
Ok so... iMessages sole purpose is to be a sort of "messenger" between iOS products right? There's nothing more to it? By that I mean... now that I turned it off, will it have any repercussions on any other apps or functions in my iPhone?

iCal keeps telling my I have an incorrect password and I have reset it three times in the past few days - help

Try just restoring to factory settings/new iPod this time. Not from backup.
If it reiccurs that indicates a hardware problem.

Hello Suzanne,
Thank you for providing the details of iTunes unexpectedly quitting. You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already. I found an article with additional steps you can take to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like the one you described:

I am thoroughly feed up with itunes store!!!! I have changed my password and for the last two days I have been trying to get my ipad to recognize the new password and allow me to make purchases at the store. I've gone into settings and made the updates.

Help!!! Ok, if they don't want me to buy stuff, then ok, I won't waste any more money on their products!!!

Try closing the App Store app (and iTunes if open) via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
You could also do a soft-reset (i.e. a reboot) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear.
And try logging out and in via the Featured tab in the App Store app and see if that makes any difference.

How can I quickly find out which contacts have an iPhone or use iMessage?

Is there any way I can find out which contacts use iMessage? My iPhone is clearly able to figure it out when I'm typing a message. So there should be a server or something where it can see that the phone number uses iMessage. But can't my phone figure that out for all contacts at once?

This is the only way on an iOS device:
Launch the Messages app in iOS.
Tap the Compose button in the upper right corner to start a new message.
Type the contacts name, or just put the first letter of their name and have a list populate.
iMessage users will show a blue iMessage icon alongside their name.

I have an IPad 1. For the past three days I've played Sims Freeplay without trouble. Today it won't even open. It starts to, then goes black, then all the apps are visible again. Any idea of what is going on?

I have been playing EA's Sims Freeplay for three days. Today the app will not open. It begins to, then goes black, then all the apps are there. FB is doing it now, too. Bookworm plays fine, as do other apps like ebooks and weather bug. I don't know much about what goes on with an IPad, so any help is appreciated.

- check the app store to see if the apps have an update available
- delete and redownload the apps

I have updated Firefox, downloaded and install the update but everytime I open Firefox, I am told that I do not have the latest version, why?

I have downloaded the update and installed it a few times and I still have the same issue, (not having the latest version). I am running windows XP.

If you see the message in here: www.google.com/firefox
'''you are updated '''see your user agent :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 '''Firefox/9.0.1'''
all you have to do is to '''set another page as the home page''', as '''cor-el '''said with very detailed explanation in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/905310 here]
'''copied from cor-el reply:'''
"That text about not running the latest Firefox version is hardcoded on the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox used as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore. Current Firefox versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. So Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you about that and suggests to update. You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle)."

HT201209 My iTunes account shows that I have 28.41 but when I go to redeem it to make a purchase it says that it has a lready been redeemed.

Why can't i redeem the 28.41 that I have in my account

You don't need to redeem the card again, and in fact you can't. Once redeemed, the card can be thrown away and your balance is held in your iTunes Store account. You should be able to just buy things (other that gifts to others) and the store will deduct the amount from your balance automatically. Is that not happening, or have you just not tried it?
Regards.

TS1424 I bought 1 song that was 1.29$ and a day later I got an email saying that I owe 1.29$ to Apple but I had money on my iTunes account because I just got an iTunes card, so why is it charging me to a credit card?

I bought a song that was 1.29$ on my iTunes with my iTunes cash and it docked off 1.29 as usuall but a day later I got got an email telling me that I owe 1.29$$ to Apple, so that doesn't make any sense!

You will have to pay the owed amount with a valid card that has money on it. Once that is done, change the card to none and then it will use your store credit on future purchases.

Why can't I receive or send email through my Gmail app the past 3 days?

Usually every morning, I have several emails & I haven't been receiving them for the past 3 days & I tried sending an email & it says that it's off & won't sync. The last time I was able to send an email was Friday September 26.

Sorry you haven't gotten a response to your question about the Gmail app, but this is the Firefox support forum so we probably cannot help you with that app.

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

I recently bought a new i phone 4 as my other one had seen beter days and for the last sevral days have been trying to transfer my photos ect from my old phone to my new one after I've plugged my old iPhone into iTunes to back it up i then plug in my one to transfer it over I've had no luck I've tryed restoring my new phone to the last time i backed up my old files the phone restores but always to its own backup point wen i first connected it to iTunes can anyone help me please?

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

I have an iPhone 3GS and in the past 2 days I've gotten 5 emails saying that someone has logged in to my apple ID from an iphone 3gs using iMessage...
