them doing this.

Hello Geotra,
As the e-mail did not originate from an Apple e-mail address, I would avoid taking any action as indicated in the message. I would recommend marking the message as spam and reporting it to your e-mail provider if possible.

  • HT204053 Using multi-user IDS and passwords to access the apps website is turning me into an Apple hater, frankly. Am I alone in the crowd of users?

    Ihave abouy 4-5 different user IDS and passwords that I have to juggle to get access to the Apps store. Almost every time I try to get an update, etc., I have to go through the routine of either changing both user ID and password, or just the password. I am a long-time Apple customer but have drifted as far as possible from using Apple updates and purchases. It's just not worth the time, exasperation and energy involved. I can understand that Apple doesn't want to have varied IDs wrapped into a single ID, but it would be helpful if Apple took the time to delete all but one user ID, upon the request of an Apple customer, instead of spending so much time issuing yet another iPad and iPhone. At least, have mercy on some of Apple customers who are still buying snd using laptops and desk tops. HELP!!!

    I'm not sure how you came to have so many Apple IDs, but I'd suggest that you simplify things.
    I just checked the "Apple ID Support" page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    as I imagine you have, too, and I find no instructions for closing or deleting an Apple ID, but you could simplify things quite a bit by using only one Apple ID on all of your devices.
    It will take a bit of time, but I think you'll find that it's worth it.
    If I were you, I would just delete all purchased apps (if you've purchased music, that's a whole different issue - but you could probably simplify your music purchases, too) from all devices accept one - your most "important" device -  and log out from all other devices. Then log in from those other devices using your preferred Apple ID, and reinstall the apps and other stuff.
    It's going to be tedious, and it'll take some time, but I think you'll have a much better experience over the long term.
    For one thing, you'd always be notified automatically to update/upgrade your stuff, and your log-ins to do so would be much easier.
    I know it's not good news, but I hope it helps.

  • Why I cant download an apps using my apple id?

    I dont know why i cant login my apple id account in my ipod touch. Can you guys help me? The password and user id is correct (just to let you know)

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Is there a way to have FF Home remember me, so I don't have to input the sync key, user ID, and password each time? (Perhaps something to do with that "add a device" passcode they completely ignore in the instructions for setting it up?)

    Or is my device just having issues, and it SHOULD remember me each time? It's too much hassle to go copy out my sync key each time from where I've saved it in the Notes app, so I almost never use FF Home - I just google or try to guess addresses in Safari, then bookmark them there. (Can one import bookmarks from Sync to Safari? That would help!)

    Well if you want a "single signon" experience, the Workstation will need to de join to the domain :-)  otherwise it will prompt for the Username and password for authentificaiton.
    You can then check the save password box.
    For remote user that are NOT on the domain, same behavior, you will be prompted to enter Username/Password.

  • Somehow firefox now opens with my windows mail. Each time I enter my password it asks if I want to save it so I don't have to retype my login and password each time. I hit yes and when I leave firefox it doesn't keep my password. I would like to either

    I recently went to open my windows live mail,which normally opens because it has my login and password saved. Now it opens in firefox and I have to retype my login and password everytime I open my mail. I would like when I open my mail not to have to retype my login and password as this is why I have it set up in the original windows mail anyway. So I have attempted to live with this problem by adjusting the options to save my password and when I close out of firefox and try to reopen it later in the day I have to retype my login and password again.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a month ago

  • Why do I have to type my username and password each time I log in?(My husband's username and password are always in a dropdown box)

    When I go to the wild blue log in and click on the username box there is a blue drop down and it shows my husband's user name.
    When I click on it my husband's username and password are automatically entered and all I have to do is click on the login box.
    But I have to type in my username and password before I can log
    in. I want my username and password in the blue drop down box along with my husband's. Then I won't have to type it in each time.

    Are you referring to the SAME computer/login?
    If not, he likely has auto-complete (or similar) enabled and you probably do not.

    Hello
    I received an unsolicited message from a phone number. I deleted it.
    A second copy arrived and I deleted that too.
    The message says send STOP as a reply and it will be stopped but the web says this is a way to give the sender access to your account and they will charge you £3 every time.
    Did i do right to delete it?
    How can I block a number?  The system on my iPhone iiOS 8 and Mac Yosemite will not allow it.
    How can I change my status (as I do on Skype) to stop these messages safely?
    Anythoughts?

    Why not using ASP?
    If on your webpage you have some buttons that runs at server, the server can create a web Client and using your IP address retrieved from the cession, communicate with your application (that will act as web Server). 
    then the web client on the web server can send request to your VB application and read a stream as response.
    This web client being control by the buttons on the web page, gives you complete control over what and when the data is sent
    This way you will have a complete control over the VB application from the web page.
    I am not saying that the way you want to do it cannot work, ... but it seems more complicated

  • I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

    What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

    I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.

  • Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."

    Trouble opening pdf's - I have received several pdf's from a friend via e-mail (Thunderbird). Some of them open just fine but others give me the message: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." My friend made sure that the files in question opened without issue on his computer (a PC). Further, I was able to open one of these "damaged" files on my Android phone, but I cannot open them on the Macbook Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
