I keep getting emails to reset my Apple ID

Is there any way to make sure my account is secure, and/or to get the emails to stop?
Thx

Me too! It's really annoying! I keep getting emails about games or apps that I've "purchased" using a device that is not usually associated with my account. I haven't ordered them and neither has anyone else in my family so I don't know what's going on?! I keep changing my password and it just keeps happening anyway. Help please?

  • I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

    Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

    No.   I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either.   I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
    I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting.   Thomas knows about these things.

    As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
    Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
    Apple introduces two-factor authentication
    This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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

    Of you're being phished. There are a lot of phishing scams going around right now with bad guys trying to get access to apple ID's.
    Anytime you want to verify the info, do not click on any links in the mail, but open up iTUnes on your computer and check things out that way.

    contact apple on your own and see what they say.

  • I keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an pal when I didn't make the purchase

    I Keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an app in the amount of $xx.  I did not make the purchase.  I keep dumping these emails into trash as it seems like spam but it's getting annoying.  Email appears to be coming from Apple.  Any ideas?

    If you think it's spam move it to junk instead of trash. Read the article below and report one to Apple.

  • I keep getting email from Apple telling me that my account has been suspended. It looks genuine but I am having my doubts.

    Hi. I keep getting emails supposedly from apple telling me my account has been suspended. I am probably worrying about nothing. Has anyone else been getting these.

    If in doubt send them to Apple at [email protected]

  • HT5787 i forget the security questions answers and i cant get email of resetting link in my email

    i forget the security questions answers and i cant get email of resetting link to my email

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password

    Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password when they have not requested it? I have been getting several emails for the past couple of days where it says how to reset when I never asked to do so. Is there anything that should be done about it? Or anything apple can do about it for my email is very different and not easy to guess or duplicate.

    you got the ping app, this app is sending greeting pings and message of promo price for it in the cost version

  • ICloud Storage upgrade.  Purchased, but keep getting emails.  Will I lose my data?

    According to the iCloud management page in System Preferences (on my mac) and the Settings page (on my iPhone) I have purchased a 20 gig storage plan for iCloud.   But I keep getting emails claiming my free 20 gig storage plan will be downgraded on 9/30/13. How can I be sure I will not lose my data?

    Thanks, Roger.  Do you think this is true, even though I see this on my phone and get this email?  It seems strange (and very bad protocol) that apple would get this specific about the amount of storage I am using, but not monitor whether or not I had purchsed an upgrade.  I've been getting these emails daily for the last week. 

  • I have a 25GB icloud storage according to my account, but keep getting emails saying I will be reduced to the 5GB maximum?

    Hi, Thanks for your guidance- I have a 25GB icloud storage according to my account, but keep getting emails saying I will be reduced to the 5GB maximum by Sept. 30?

    It's true. You got 20 GB free for one year as a former MobileMe member. See this Kbase article:

  • HT1349 Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

  • I am trying to install itunes on my pc again but keep getting an error that says'apple application support was not found. try reinstalling itunes.' error 2

    I am trying to install itunes on my pc again but keep getting an error that says'apple application support was not found. try reinstalling itunes.' error 2.
    We have had itunes on this pc for 2 years and recently it wouldn't open and another error message kept popping up saying it couldn't open because MSVCR80.dll was missing. I have unistalled the apple programs and tried reinstalling several times but to no avail. Hopefully my music library is not gone. Any Ideas out there?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT5527 I've paid for iCloud storage, but keep getting emails saying my storage will be unavailable if I don't upgrade.

    I have paid $40 a year for the additional storage, but I keep getting emails telling me that on September 30th my storage will go back to the 5G unless I upgrade.  Is there another step I need to take?

    When you purchased the additional storage it over-rode and cancelled the free storage you got as a result of having been a MobileMe subscriber. You are getting these automated emails because 'the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth' (Ecclesiastes 11:1) - just ignore them. They will stop in another week.
