I have recurring mail failures to people I don't know up to 1200/ day.  I didn't send any email, is it a virus?  How do I fix it?  Thanks

How do I get rid of a what is causing over 1200 emails to be sent out to people I don't know and then bounce back to me as delivery failure?

HI Dawn ..
If you are using Mac Mail, go to the Mail menu bar, click Mailbox > Rebuild
The process can take several minutes...
Doubtful it's a virus. Malware could be an issue but ONLY if you click on any links provided in those emails.

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

  • I have problem send any email from iPad2

    I have a very weird situation.
    I had this iPad2 for  a few months and was able to receive and send email using 3 email accounts, from gmail, yahoo and hotmail without any problem.
    Howeverm after I came back from a trip, I could only receive email, but cannot send any email from any of these accounts at all!
    I am using WIFI. I have deleted all email accounts, turned off the ipad2, and started over a couple of times.
    I tried to recreate these account again one by one. After added one account, I tested it only to see no email can be sent!
    THere is no error message, no any information. All I know is the email I sent from my iPad disappeared!
    Any one here can help?
    Thanks!

    Disabling email scanning didn't fix it. I can open the Mozilla email client and it immediately tries to connect to the inbound AT&T mail server but then just sits there with no response. If I try to send a message same thing, tries to connect to outbound AT&T server but nothing. One of the options in the support doc said to remove the saved passwords and when the client restarts it will ask you to save your password again. The client never makes a connection to the server so it never has a chance to authenticate. Its almost like AT&T disabled their POP server.

  • Mail program goes offline and can't send any email

    for couple of weeks ago i had a problem with Mail program and then it started to miss up entire system which even my apple id didn't work so i delete my entire keychain and then i add all again it start to work but now i have a problem with mail program which goes offline and i quit the program and leave it for couple of minutes and then i run it again it worked for 2 second and then goes offline again this is problem number one in other hand i can't send any email from program my emails go to the Outbox and after couple of minuts asking me to resend it which i usually don't do it and send it directly from website any suggestion i can fix this ? i called apple support afew weeks ago the guy didn't respond correctly and told me he has to call the engineer or something like that and after that because it took a lot of time one of my friend fix the problem for me but now i still have problem with this
    any suggestion ? or i should give up using this softwear ?

    More information is required for a meaningful reply. Do you have an email account? Are you settings correct? Can you receive emails on the iPad? Have you another device on which you send /receive emails? Is it working OK?

  • My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

    My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page - it won't turn off or on - just stuck. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (the advice is to connect ipad to mac and there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Going nuts.

    I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

  • I received an email this am telling me I was charged for a purchase I made of .99 this am.  I did not purchase anything. I contacted PayPay and was informed it was for a recurring monthyl .99 fee..I don't know what that is and don't want it. What is it?

    I received an email this am telling me I was charged for a purchase I made of .99 this am.  I did not purchase anything. I contacted PayPay and was informed it was for a recurring monthly .99 fee..I don't know what that is and don't want it. What is it?  PayPal cancelled any further payments for this. I was informed I needed to request refund from ITunes. I did that. Why was I charged a .99 recurring fee? I purchased, or thought I did, an app called "Appzilla2" on Jan 10 for .99 cents.  Does this mean I must pay .99/monthly to use it?  If so, please cancel the appzilla.

    We are itunes users just like you.  We cannot cancel anything.
    Look at your purchase history and see what the charge is for.  Contact itunes support if need be.

    It's because you are both using the same iTunes Library on your computer and you are both using the same Apple ID on each phone.
    One of you must start a new computer user account and get a new Apple ID. Then start operating on the ocmputer from the new account. He/she will also need to restore their phone from the new account and using the new Apple ID. This way everything on each of your phones will remain separate.

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    The hotmail address i use for my apple ID was hacked and i no longer have access to it, this is stopping me from accessing any of my icloud or itunes. how can i fix this?

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
