I'm getting spam on my iPhone 4s.

How do I block unwanted ads from my phone? Every day the same 6 emails ads for forklifts, POS, fleet tracker, etc. show up in my phone mail. How do I mark these as junk?

For spam blocking to be effective it must be done at the server. Check with your ISP for how to report spam. For many ISPs you do it by logging in to their webmail portal and setting up spam filters.

  • I keep getting spam on my iPhone

    Using my icould account I feel my email address has been sold to spammers. My macbookpro send the spam to junk just fine, but I keep getting all the spam on my iphone. How can I prevent this? Thanks

    Im having exactly the same issue. Spoken with Verizon a lot out it. They've recomended the "type STOP" and they've looked into getting the number off of whatever spam subcription its on. So far no dice.
    I just got the number and phone a few weeks ago so It's nothing I did. They think it's left over from whom ever had the number last.
    I think my final resort will be just insisting that they change my number. I forward the number to Google Voice so no one will miss me if I change the number anyway; it just ***** that you have to go through all this crap. From what i can tell it's happening to alot of people but not enough for it to be on verizons radar.

  • How can I get spam mail sent straight to trash on my iPad and iPhone.  Have managed to set rules on my iMac but not the rest.

    How can I set up rules to get spam emails sent straight to my trash when I am using an iPhone4S or iPad3?  Have managed to do this on my iMac but can't see a way to do it on the other devices.  Getting about 50 a day recently using my email address but not my name in the messages - no idea why this has started but it is annoying!!

    You cannot set rules on the iPad or the iPhone for mail. The only thing that you can do is to filter spam mail in your webmail settings using a web browser. The rules that set up in the mail app on the Mac do not sync across devices, those are rules for inside the mail client itself on the Mac.

  • I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update.  Is there any feature or sedtting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to FaceTime without going to the carrier?

    After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
    I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
    I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
    I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours.

  • I use yahoo business mail, but I am getting hundreds of spam message on my Mac Air. I don't get them on my iPhone. Ive run a Malware app. Does anyone know how I can stop getting all this junk mail. Thanks

    How do i stop getting spam coming to my mailbox using Yahoo Business mail? I use Yahoo Biz Mail, but am now getting a huge amount of spam. I don't get any using the same address on my iPhone. I ran a Malware app - didn't help. Any ideas??

    Hello SkeeterOz,
    It sounds like you’re seeing spam emails in the Mail application on your MacBook Air, but you aren’t seeing those spam emails on your iPhone. The article linked below will walk you through enabling Junk Mail filtering in Mail and specifying what you want to do with the emails that are filtered.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to block spam sms in iPhone for India? Any solution?

    I get far more annoyed with text message spam than I do with email spam. My iPhone (unlocked) dings every time I receive a text message, and I check it as soon as I can. I really, really resent the intrusion when it’s spam. And of course there’s the cost. I don’t pay per text message, but when I am in international roaming I do. I searched every nook and cranny on the iPhone to find a way to block the spam, to no avail. Suggestions in different web forum like contacting the service provider (in my case its Vodafone India) did not help. My friends using other mobile service companies like Airtel says the situation is the same. So no point changing service provider. There is one application iBlacklist which I purchased but was a waste of 2 dollars as it does not work in India (see the complaints of the cheated customers in the app store). Is there any iphone application which will allow me to block the spams while still able to receive sms from friends and relatives. I know that my issue is not a new one but honestly, I have tried out everything and have not found an effective solution that works in Indian setting. Many thanks for your suggestions.

    I am lucky lucky because up to now I have had very few Spam SMS'.
    I give out my cell phone number as little as possible.
    The following article may give you some tips about prventing spam SMS:

  • Getting bombed on my iphone

    So recently I have received multiple messages on my iphone 5S ( not that I think it matters ) saying something like
    "FRM:[email protected]
    SUBJ:SMS BOMBED
    MSG:afushdfkjbriuvyskdhjhfgaiusybvlhjavb
    sadfnuashfbdnjasklhviusvnsaklnvjls
    asdfbhuiabvhdaskbvadsbvadsjbvdasjkvab
    asdvbhjkavbskbdvakadvbhkabdsvjbadsvkj"
    Is there anyway to stop this? It has been going on for 2 hours now and I received up to 2k+ messages and while im writing this Im still currently getting spammed atm. And no, blocking the number wouldnt help considering there are multiple numbers doing this.

    Also the phone numbers all share in common '1 (210) 100-(3digit#)

  • I just got a macbook air for xmas- now i wont get texts on my iPhone. they go right to my laptop. how can i get the texts to go to BOTH devices?

    My hubby just got me a macbook air for Xmas which is awesome.  Set it up to be able to ichat on it as well as on my iphone.  Only now i wont get texts on my iphone- ONLY on my laptop.  How can i configure so that I can get texts on my computer AND my phone.

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device?

    How do I get my iPad and IPhone synced where if I delete an email off one it is deleted off the other device? I can get all the Apps and music from one to the other but why won't the emails I delete off one not delete off the other? Is there anyway where I can make this happen?

    As James says, make sure that you are using the IMAP servers for your email. You will need to check the help pages for your email provider to get the correct settings in all your devices. POP really doesn't fit the needs of todays mutiple access, always on internet, so you are better off moving to IMAP.

  • I see all of my contacts under "All Exchange" in the address book but can't get them into my iPhone.

    I don't get this but 95% of my contacts are listed under "all exchange" and I can't figure out how to get them into my iphone. I have "Sync Contacts" and "all contacts" checked in iTunes but it doesn't work. There is a message that says "Your contacts are being synced with MS Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer"... After backing the contacts up, I deleted the Exchange account off of my iPhone because I left the company. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
