I received an email from iCloud asking me to update my details is this authentic?

I heard that Apple had some virus issues recently. I have updated my software but am a little suspicious about an email I have just received from "icloud" aksing me if I have recently changed my details and I need to re submit them. I have not changed anything by the way. So want to be sure this is an authentic email from Apple.

I would actually get in contact with iCloud support itself. You can do this by going through the express lane, which is available at http://expresslane.apple.com . They may as for you to get them the meta tags or something, so they can determine if it is real.

Has anyone ever had an email from Apple asking them to update their details for their Apple account on IPad? Kinda worried as it asks for my bank details and bank account number and security code on the back of the card. Thanks :)

Has anyone ever had an email from Apple on IPad asking them to update their account details? The email seems genuine enough as it asks you to sign in with your Apple ID and password and takes you through to the Apple site but am a bit worried as they ask you in the section Update Your Apple account for bank and credit card details and for the security number on the back of the card. Also in the section where it asks for my mobile number it will only take 10 numbers and when ai try to put in the final (11th number) it won't let me. Sorry am new to all this and a bit confused! Any help is gratefully appreciated.....Thanks.

That is phishing attack
Someone, other then Apple, sent it to you

I just received an email from iCloud security Center about irregular activity on my account and needing me to verify my account with information like my SS#. Is this legit?

A very good point...
Better to be suspicious... Than Sorry...

HT4436 Just received an email from iCloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and decrease to 5, when I had been using 10+. What is this??

I just received an email from icloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and it would decrease to 5 (when I have been using 10+). What is this??

The actual amount of extra free storage varies depending on how much storage previous subscribers had.
If you do nothing your storage will dowgrade to 5GB so you should make sure you don't have more content than this.
If you want to continue with the increased storage by paying for it, please see

and expand 'How do I purchase my current plan?'.

Received an email from iCloud telling me my storage is full ,when i go to storage

Received an email from icloud telling me that my storage is full, when i go to storage on my iphone it tells me i have 4.4 GB available, what next???

Does it say disabled for security reasons or just disabled? If it just says disabled, go to the iTunes billing team's support site and email off the error, include your billing address for the account and the last 4 digits of your credit card and they will fix it up within 24-48 hours.

The message probably was sent by mistake. Ignore it, unless you have problems with the iCloud email address

Verizon is my internet provider and I can't receive some emails from comcast customers. Is there a fix for this??

If this is for wired services, you should post it in the residential forum. http://forums.verizon.com/

Anyone received fraudulant email from iCloud Security Team?

I got this really basic email from the "iCloud Security Team" asking me to update my account to protect against third-party access. The link (when I mouseover it) shows no Apple in it. I can't find a way to forward this to Apple so they can investigate who is trying to use them for information extraction.

See "What to do with suspicious emails" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4933.

I received an email from "apple" asking me if they have the right email address.

I received a message from "Apple <[email protected]>"
Because of spam warnings I am not sure it is legitamate.
Does Apple send email requesting verification of my password, etc? I'm not sure I should click the attached link.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Also, if you ever want to find out who the owner of a website, I recommend using the app Deep Whois. In this case, you would enter part of the email address of the person who sent you the email. You would enter whatever follows the "@" symbol. (i.e. for [email protected], enter only "apple.com").
This would show you whether or not the site from which the email is managed was owned by apple (and it would give you some info about the person who spam-texted you...which would allow you to submit this info to the FCC as a spam reporthttp://www.fcc.gov/guides/spam-unwanted-text-messages-and-email).
Also, if the email address is a gmail, yahoo, or (insert major email provider here), then you can simply contact both the FCC and the email provider letting them know that the email address is conducting a phishing operation (include screenshots of what you receive and as many other details as could be relevent). That should at least delay their operation.
Happy justice!

HT3702 I was send an email from apple asking me to update my credit card information or my account will be cancelled within 48hours is this a valid email from apple or fraud ??

I was send an email via apple stating that I need to update my credit card information or my account will be cancelled in 48hours. Is this a valid email or fraud. I had the iphone for more than 2 years and did not receive a similar email

It's a phishing attempt to get your account and payment details (Apple don't send emails like that) . If you still have the email then you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]

Fake email from "iCloud"

I received an email from "iCloud" this morning saying that my icloud storage was almost full and I should purchase more memory? Sounds like a huge scam to me.

Well, since there are no links in the email that I can see, and the email was informational only, with instructions on how to manage your iCloud storage via your own device Settings, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Seems like it was just a notification to let you know that you are just about maxed out on your iCloud storage.
Cheers,

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s. I have an iphone 4. It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password. How do I know if this email is genuine?

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S. I have an iphone 4. It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password. How do I tell if the email is genuine?

Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

I cannot receive a verification email from icloud on my comcast email account. I have tried looking in spam, going to appleid and asking to resend the verification email many times, and I get nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Most likely it is blocked on server level, you need to go to account settings and unblock everything that has word apple in it. Also just to make sure, verify that you didn't misspell your e-mail address.

No longer receive emails from iCloud server

Since I transferred to iCloud from MobileMe, it seems that I no longer receive any emails from the server in my Outlook mailbox. I tried to add an new email account to Outlook but it kept saying "An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available". So I tried to search an unencrypted connection by clicking NEXT. The system then asked me to verify my me.com account details. I've tried many many times but no joy. Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Many thanks, C

As mentioned, there is a critical MS patch that came out yesterday that they SHOULD install, but this has nothing to do with your iPhone.
Does the phone get email when you manually launch the mail app, and it's only the notifications that are not happening, or can you not get mail at all?
If it's only missing notifications you should first reboot the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP for about 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to Power Off" message and keep holding).
If this doesn't fix notifications ask your IT guys what the KeepAlive timer is set to; it should be 59 minutes. This is NOT the default.
Finally, it could be an AT&T network problem. Try turning off WiFi and see if you can access the Internet over AT&T.
If you are not getting emails even when you launch the mail app you have a different problem. Then check if you can get mail via Safari and OWA.

I can no longer receive me emails from my .mac account on my iMac even though I have been able to receive it for the past number of years, I have an iCloud account and it is sending my mail to my phone but not my desktop. What gives...

I can no longer receive my emails from the icloud to my mac even though it has been doing it fine since I moved to the icloud a number of weeks now. I only get my mail if I log into icloud or I get it on my phone, it is not synching to my iMac. Can someone assist please.
Thanks

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks
