Howdy Libbidydooda,
There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

    Hi SLCfromMadison,
    This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

  • My iPhone 4s has been getting extremely hot lately and draining my battery, is this something to worry about?!

    Does anyone have the problem of their phone always hot?! Sometimes I even get the sign that says my iPhone is too hot. Is this something to worry about?! I was never like this until the recent ios7 upgrades.

    It could also be that your battery has gone bad.  If your phone is still under warranty, make an appointment at an Apple store.  It will take a tech a few minutes to test the battery, and they will replace if for you if it is bad.  If not under warranty, search for a repair person in your area.

  • SBS 2011 VM and Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V host. After rebuilding the host image, no email is received, EMC states "You don't have sufficient permissions to view this data" when looking at organization config. Server config not shown on EMC.

    Hyper-V Host Server 2012 R2 x64 drive c:
    All VMs, including SBS 2011 Standard x64 are on drive d:
    I replaced my motherboard and defined a Marvell RAID 1 Mirror for my boot drive C:.  My drive D: containing all of my Hyper V machines remained untouched since the new MB had Intel Matrix Controller with RAID 5, as did the old MB.
    Since the C: drives are a few bytes smaller after configured as a RAID 1, I was unable to restore drive C from the image copy, so I rebuilt a new Hyper-V Host identical as possible using Server 2012 R2 x64.  I had to redefine the Hyper-V machines on
    the host, and the 1st time I brought it all (host and VMs) I had to reconfigure the NICs due to new MAC addresses, and verifying SBS 2011 DNS and DHCP for all physical and Hyper-V machines. Otherwise my Hyper-V SBS 2011 x(64) wasn't touched.
    Now the SBS Exchange 2010 is not receiving mail.  In the Exchange Management Console clicking on the Organization config gives me a highlighted error "You don't have sufficient permissions to view this data".  The Server
    Config is no longer on the EMC.  The Recipient Config looks fine.
    Outlook 2013 x64 connects to the Exchange Server, but no new mail appeared.  There were just a few older messages that came in since the last time I opened Outlook.  My public DNS on GoDaddy was not changed.  I did not change sending mail
    through my ISP Sonic.net.  The SBS internal DNS doesn't have an MX record, but I'm not sure it ever did since my GoDaddy public DNS has an MX record.
    I tried restoring to an earlier Image Copy, but that made no difference.  I'm using the Windows Backup from SBS 2011 for my daily image copy backups.

    Hi Michael,
    à
    After more research and running the Best Practices report from the EMC, I am missing a slew of ManagementRolesAndRoleGroups from the RBAC container.
    Based on your description, it seems that you have find the cause of this issue. On current situation, I still
    suggest that you should run
    SBS 2011 BPA and then check if can find some relevant errors. Just for a confirmation.
    Meanwhile, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.
    Apply

    Hope this helps.

  • Can not save the attachment you don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation

    i opened outlook.exe file then i have an error like cannot save the attachments you don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation so please solve my error 

    Hi,
    Before this issue occurred, what did you perform in Outlook?
    Based on the error message, it seems like a permission issue. Try to run Outlook as administrator, check if the issue persists.
    Please also try to start Outlook in Safe Mode. Sometimes the 3rd-party add-ins will cause the Outlook startup issue, run Outlook in Safe Mode will disable these add-ins:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    If there is no issue starting Outlook in Safe Mode, consider to disable the suspicious add-ins from FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins.
    If the issue still exists, please send me the image of the error message and let me know in detail the steps you performed before this issue occurred. To protect your private information, please send the image to our email address:

    My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know which buttons to  press.  I gather when you do this, a box comes up and pairs the two with a number you have to type in.

  • The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol. My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this. Any idea how it can be fixed???

    Hello,
    You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
    However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy.  There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
    I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player?  Not  knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
    And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

    Hi, Although I had itunes downloaded on my pc & been using for a while now, today I've been prompted to download itunes again. This has been successfull except that 65 songs that I had previously in my library are now no longer able to play, the message informes me that the original files could not be found. Yet these songs are still on my ipod after being syncronised and I can play them on my ipod. Please advise how I can find the original files on my pc.
    Thank you
    Carol

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • When I add a new contact number to my iphone 5c  and I try to select the iphone choice is not showing up; and it was working fine the day before. ?

    when I add a new contact number to my iphone 5c  and I try to select the iphone choice is not showing up; and it was working fine the day before. ?Also when I try to send an imessage is not going trough as an imessage, it makes me send it as a message.

    You're using Exchange Active Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with your company Exchange Server. If the default calendar/address books are set to the Exchange account, it will sync automatically. This is normal.
    Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars to change the default address book and calendars to a something else, iCloud or something synced from your home computer instead.

  • HT5621 I got iphone 4s secondhand and i made restore then its asking me for apple Id which i don't  have it even the first owner i ask him about it but he don't have? please i need your HELP

    I got iphone 4s secondhand and i made restore then its asking me for apple Id which i don't  have it even the first owner i ask him about it but he don't have? please i need your HELP

    No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. If you don't know the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone, you won't be able to re-activate it. And, if the previous owner tells you that he/she doesn't know it, you're out of luck. You simply won't be able to use the phone for anything other than a paperweight.
    Called Activation Lock.

    And what would that be before I or anyone else wastes their time and yours providing options you have already tried without any change?
    If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option.
