I have just received an email asking me to verify if I have used my account to spend 20$ which I have not, I've followed the link and am not sure if this is a hoax ?

What does the email say, and is it personalised (e.g. does it have your name in the email or just something like 'dear customer') ? There are regular phishing emails trying to get account and payment details.
You can view your account's purchase history by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, and you should see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. If you are using an iOS device then you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

HT5622 I got an email asking me to verify my Apple ID. Since it asks my credit card info I want to make sure it's a legitimate request.

It is a phishing email. Apple will never ask you for your credit card information in an email. I would report this to Apple

When my wife registered my phone number as her emergency rest number I then received an email asking me to confirm my Apple ID and Apple password.

When I was asked to confirm my ID and password by Apple it keeps saying ID and password do not match BUT if I go onto iTunes and log in using exactly the same ID and password they work perfectly???
I cannot register confirmation of acceptance as my wife's emergency backup email address

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

HT5625 i phone asks me to verify my apple id by clicking OK, then it takes me into apps which i can do nothing with because it sends me back to sign on, which again says I must verify my apple id

need help as my phone keeps telling me that my apple id has not been verified, but offers no way to verify the id and I have no clue where to go from there.

Hi captcr,
Let's try verifying your Apple ID with the following steps:
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!
Matt M.

HT5312 I received an email asking me to verify a rescue email? Evidently someone other than me used my apple id as a rescue email address? How do I get this resolved?

my icloud email address was used by someone as a rescue id? How do I fix?

Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting passwords, questions, whatever is needed to maintain the security of the account.

ATTENTION!! RECEIVED FRAUDULENT EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE APPLE!! I received an email informing of a purchase made on my account and telling me to change my password if did not purchase the item, which I had not. I have received valid emails from Apple

ATTENTION!! RECEIVED FRAUDULENT EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE APPLE!! I received an email informing of a purchase made on my account and telling me to change my password if did not purchase the item, which I had not. I have received valid emails from Apple in the past asking letting me know a purchase had been made and asking if I had made the purchase, but the item listed has alway been a purchase that I had made. Since I had received similar emails in the past, I didn't think anything of it. Because I had not purchased the item listed, I immediately clicked on the link in order to change my password, which has been suggested in authentic emails i had received from Apple in the past. The site I was redirected to was exactly the same as the Apple site where you go to change your password. I entered my userID and password and it stated a verification email would be sent, if it was not sent click "resend email." When I did not receive an email, after about 10 seconds I went to the Apple site and followed the SAME EXACT step on pages that were IDENTICAL to the FRAUDULENT website I apparently had just been at. When I clicked "Send verification email," I DID receive an email within seconds, which had a special link that brought me to a page where I could change my password, which I did. I later compared a legitimate email to the FRAUDULENT email and I DID FIND A DIFFERENCE, BUT IT WAS ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE unless you were really, really looking. I doubt it would be noticed by anyone if not comparing it closely to a real email. THE DIFFERENCE WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUTHENTIC EMAIL, THERE WERE THREE LINKS THAT COULD BE SELECTED - My Apple ID/Support/Privacy Policy. ON THE FRAUDULENT EMAIL THESE LINKS WERE NOT PRESENT!!! Just today I received an email from Apple stating my password had been changed today. I did not change my password today. When I changed after getting the fake email, I did not think about my SECURITY QUESTIONS!!! If you forget your Apple password, you are able to answer the security questions in place of your ID and you get a confirmation email. Even though I changed my password within a one minute when I did not get a confirmation email with a link to change my password right away and I went dierctly to Apple's site, apparently it was enough time to take all the information on my account - INCLUDING MY DEBIT CARD NUMBER, WHICH HAD BEEN REQUIRED WHEN I INITIALLY SET UP THE ACCOUNT!!! Today I received a call from VISA FRAUD PROTECTION asking about strange activity on my account and stating they were concerned and wanted to ensure I had used the account. I HAD NOT, AND ALL THE MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT HAD BEEN STOLEN!!!!! I am writing this in hopes that many people will see it and NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM. Please pay close attention to any emails you supposedly receive from Apple - If the links "MY APPLE ID/SUPPORT/PRIVACY POLICY," PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME IT IS AN AUTHENTIC EMAIL FROM APPLE. I suggest you immediately forward the email to apple, which I didn't do because this happened days ago. Nothing was taken from my money that was already on the Apple account, and nothing had been taken from my checking account. I guess I assumed there had been something wrong with the link in the email directing me to where I could change my password, plus I had gone to the valid Apple website and changed my password for real, and I guess I was thinking that changing my password would prevent someone from being able to acces my account info. PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM AS I DID!!!!

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It directed me to the google home page and I am now suspicious that it is a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to Ipad. How can I check?

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It took me to the google home page. I am now suspicious that my friend's email account has been hijacked and the link contained a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to the IPad. Can any form of Trojan horse be planted on IOS 6 or am I worrying unnecessarily? Reassurance would be most welcome as I do use the IPad for checking bank details and web purchases. Thanks for any help.

PC virus won't run on iPad.

HT2481 I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import those photos to Iphoto and then to a CD/DVD

I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import these photos to Iphoto 8? Also, how to then move them to a CD/DVD?

First share some information
what version of iPhoto? What e-mail client? are the photos JPEGs with a RGB color profile?
The most general answer is to save the photos to a desktop folder and then import them to iPhoto from there - you can right click on the desktop folder in the finder and burn it to disk

Hi Three times in two days now i have received an email explaining how i can reset my apple ID passwword etc. Ive had this email before but only once and ignored as we are advised . Three times in two days though, bit worried, any ideas??

Is it just letting you know how to reset you password or saying it's trying to be reset?
If it's just letting you know how to I wouldn't worry, but if it says it's trying to then call apple and you'll have to talk to account security.

I have received an Email with an attachment(IMG.0157.Mov) that loans but then becomes a circle with a question mark. What to do?

I have received an Email with an attachment(IMG. 0157.Mov)that loads but then becomes a circle with a question mark. What to do?

Assuming it's from a trusted source it's probably a video format that your system doesn't support.
If it will load in QuickTime Player, do a Get Info (⌘ i) to see what the specific format is. The .mov is a generic suffix a dozens or more video formats, the Get Info will give you the details.
hope this helps

I have received an email receipt charging me $109.99 for an app I've never heard of and definitely never downloaded. How do I report the problem and get a refund?

I have received an email receipt charging me $109.99 for an app I've never heard of and definitely never downloaded. How do I report the problem and get a refund?

Log into your iTunes account, then click on previous purchases then select the purchased app and then click report a problem. Then write and explain your problem and I am sure it will be considered.
Also change your iTunes password as soon as possible.
