When I hover my mouse over 'Verify Now,' the link that my browser shows it going to is: lojalita.com.br/apple. The 'Contact Us' link leads to developer.apple.com/support and in Gmail, it says the email is from [email protected] via mario.whspn.net . So I've received this about 5 times and have deleted it. I even went on to the Apple site here and changed my PW and Secret ?'s to make sure and it says my ID is verified in there, so I just wanted to make sure that this is indeed a Phishing email, trying to get my info. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thank you for your help.Me to. Do you know what is this all about?
Claim #: 20813700201
You May Be Entitled to a Cash Payment from a Class Action Settlement Fund
if Apple Denied Warranty Coverage for Your iPhone or iPod touch
Because Apple Stated Your Device Had Been Damaged by Liquid
The United States District Court, Northern District of California, authorized this notice.
The Court will have a hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement, so that benefits may be paid.
This is not a solicitation from an attorney.
This settlement affects you if Apple denied warranty coverage because Apple stated that your iPhone or iPod touch had been damaged by liquid. The settlement will create a $53 million fund that will be used to pay eligible Settlement Class Members and to pay incentive awards to the Class Representatives and attorneys' fees and costs to Class Counsel, as approved by the Court (the "Settlement Fund"). If you qualify, you may send in a claim form to ask for payment, or you can exclude yourself from the settlement, or object. To receive a payment from the Settlement Fund, you must submit a claim form to the settlement administrator on or before October 21, 2013. You may obtain a claim form by clicking HERE or by visitingwww.AppleWarrantySettlement.com/Landing.aspx. If you don't want a payment and don't want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must exclude yourself by December 4, 2013. If you stay in the class, you may object to the settlement by December 4, 2013. Please see the Detailed Notice described below for more information about excluding yourself or objecting. The remainder of this email message contains a summary of important information about the terms of the settlement and about your legal rights. Please read it carefully.
You may visit www.AppleWarrantySettlement.com or call 1-855-282-8115 to obtain additional important information, including a Detailed Notice that describes the settlement more fully and provides instructions on how to exclude yourself or object.
Summary of the Class Action Settlement and Your Legal Rights
What's This About?
The lawsuit claimed that Apple wrongfully denied warranty coverage by stating that iPhones and iPod touches had been damaged by liquid because a Liquid Contact Indicator ("LCI") (also known as a Liquid Submersion Indicator), which is visible through the headphone jack or through the dock connector port, had turned pink or red. Apple denies all allegations and is entering into this settlement to avoid burdensome and costly litigation. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Apple.
Who's Affected?
The Settlement Class is composed of people who meet the following criteria: (1) U.S. residents who are or were the owners of an iPhone or iPod touch; (2) which was submitted to Apple for warranty coverage on or before December 31, 2009, for an iPhone, or on or before June 30, 2010, for an iPod touch; (3) while that iPhone or iPod touch was covered by Apple's one-year limited warranty coverage or, if applicable, the AppleCare Protection Plan; and (4) Apple denied warranty coverage because Apple stated that the iPhone or iPod touch had been damaged by liquid.
What Can You Get from the Settlement?
Apple has agreed to create a $53 million Settlement Fund. The fund will be used to pay eligible Settlement Class Members, and also to pay incentive awards to the Class Representatives of up to $1,000 each and attorneys' fees and costs to Class Counsel, not to exceed 30% ($15.9 million) of the $53 million Settlement Fund, for their services as approved by the Court. Apple has reserved the right to object to the amount of attorneys' fees, costs and incentive awards. Any undistributed funds will be disbursed to one or more non-profit entities approved by the Court. Apple has also agreed to separately pay for the cost of notice and settlement administration. The amount you receive from the settlement will depend on a number of factors, including the type of device you owned and the number of Class Members eligible to receive payment from the Settlement Fund. Your share of the Settlement Fund will be determined by the type (i.e., iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch) and configuration (i.e., 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 gigabytes) of the device for which you sought warranty coverage from Apple. The amounts are listed in the chart below. The amounts represent the average amounts paid to Apple for replacement of each device type and configuration. The exact amount of the share you receive may be higher or lower than the amounts listed below, depending on the total number of Settlement Class Members eligible for a payment and the type and configuration of their devices. No eligible Settlement Class Member will receive more than 200% of the amount listed below for their device type and configuration.

Hi, I wonder if someone can help? I keep receiving emails telling me that my account is about to be disabled if I do not respond within 24 hours because someone has tried to sign in to my apple account. Previously, I have followed instructions and given all my information!!! However, today when I went in to 'verify me' a box came up saying this was probably/possibly a phishing scam. I checked back through my emails, found the previous one, clicked on that and it too came up as a phishing scam this time, however, sadly, that did not happen last time which is why I put in all my info.
What do I do? What will happen to my 'stuff' (apple iPad, iPhone and iPod) if I do not respond in time if it is real?
Help please??
Kate.Very likely phishing.
Your Apple ID will automatically be disabled if your account password is entered wrongly many times. Apple do not send email as far as I know. -
just received a suspicious email requesting information about my checking account. The email was sent from my mac email account. Was my email hacked and how do I fix it?

My old itunes id was an email that no longer can be used, therefore, I can not change the password for that account. Everything that I purchased under that id name will not play. How can I fix this?
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

I get an email from Apple? asking me to change my Apple ID password. Is this real?
I have been getting an email from Apple? asking me to change my Apple ID password. Is this real. I have never seen it before in many years of Mac use. I don't want to click on it in case it's fraudulent. Has this happened to anyone else?
If you were able to use your existing Apple ID and password to successfully log in to this site and post your question, then they remain valid and the email is a phishing attempt. Delete it.
To anyone else coming across this post who fell victim to this or a similar phishing scam by entering their Apple ID and password on the authentic-looking page linked in the email: your credentials have been stolen.
In that event follow the "Want to change your Apple ID or password" instructions on this Apple Support page: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install -

I synced my new iPad with my new macbook and when I tried to then sync my iPhone as well it says that all apps will be replaced with apps in my library. How do I sync without losing all of my existing iPhone apps?
My guess is that you previously synced the iPhone with a different computer in the past. You will probably want to set up Home Sharing.

I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all my music and ringtones. What should I do? I don't want to loose all my items.
When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Logged in from a new Macbook air today and received perfectly valid emails telling me about the activity. Then later I got an almost identically formatted message that appeared to be from apple, but it was telling me that an album (Desparado by Enrique Iglesias) was purchased on my iTunes account. I thought it may have been someone in my family so I looked up the artist in the iTunes store and was surprised that there is no such album for that artist ... so I mouse-over'd the links (without clicking) in the email and sure enough ... they go to some survey site - not to Apple.
So I looked at the message again this time with a suspicious eye, and saw that it didn't look 100% proper. So here I am letting everyone else know about it.

Receiving money - suspicious email confirmation
Hello everyone! I have never received money from someone using PayPal before - I've always just used it to pay. Tonight my daughter sold her iphone to someone who wanted to pay through PayPal. The buyer has been after my daughter to confirm that we received the money and will ship immediately. I got an email purporting to be from PayPal, confirming payment. However, the email addresses in the header look strange to me - I don't think there should be so many "on behalf of"'s or alternate emails. Also, the grammar in the actual message is terrible - long run-on sentences and overly explanatory paragraphs saying the same thing. Basically it's telling me that funds will not be released until we give them the tracking number for the package. I am afraid someone is trying to scam my daughter into shipping her phone, and then she won't get any money for it. Here is a copy of the email I received: ***PayPal Payment Confirmation *** ryanjordan001[at]gmail.com; on behalf of; service[atpaypal.com [paypalsecuredservice[at]ymail.com] Dear [address redacted] This is a confirmation email of a payment of $160.00USD received from Catherine.M.Willson. What is required from you in order to get your account credited is the item's shipping tracking/reference number, this number will be given to you at the courier office after you might have sent the item to the bearer, this is part of our new policy and a security measure in other to protect both the buyer and the seller, also to verify if the item was really bought from you we have sent you a confirmation email earlier on to inform you that the payment is legal and has been confirmed, also to guide you against fraudulent acts. We have included the buyer's full name and amount paid for you to know this message was really sent from PayPal. We advise that you make sure the item is sent out as soon as possible and request for a tracking number at the post office after you might have send out the item, then you can email us the number by replying directly to this message after it might have been given to you at the courier office so as to credit your account without delay. After we receive the number from you for security verification, your account will be credited at once, Our system has witness new upgrades, Please don't be surprised if you see us forwarding you to new customer attendants, its due to the amount of fraud going on involving our name which we are trying all our best to limit and put a stop to. As soon as we receive the requested information from you, your account will be credited.
Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department
PayPal Email ID PP305 Has anyone dealt with this kind of payment before? Is this a legitimate payment confirmation?THIS IS A TYPICAL PAYPAL SCAM.
They encourage you to use paypal and often ask you to send the item as a gift to a relative somewhere often Nigeria.
You will get/got a "fake" email that looks as though it is from paypal.....it isn't.
It will say the buyer has paid ...you won't have been paid.
They will tell you that the payment is released when you provide paypal with a tracking/shipping number......this won't happen.
If the item requires shipping they will tell you that they will pay you extra and you must pay the agent via western union / moneygram BEFORE the funds are released to you.
They are not interested in the item, they just want the western union etc funds and you will never see money in your paypal balance.
They also threaten legal action...have a laugh at that one and ignore it as its rubbish.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.
Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.
Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.
Delete any emails and ignore the scammers. ********************************** I give up my time to help you so a thank you or kudos would be cool. Marking one of my replies as a solution would be appreciated if I sorted your problem.
