I received an email from Verizon telling me that my account is locked and to click on a link Verizon/security to unlock it. Is this a legitimate email from Verizon. How can I find out what this means? My phone is working.

I have never heard of that before, if Verizon Wireless would do anything with your account they would be calling you (removed). In my opinion you should disregard the email.

Why does it keep telling me that my account is locked when I am trying to buy the iphone 4s?

Why does it keep telling me that my account is locked when I am trying to buy the iphone 4s?

Why does what tell you that what account is locked?
The Apple Store says your itunes account is locked?
Your carrier says your wireless account is locked?
Your bank account?

Why have I received a text from Verizon telling me that my account is locked?

It gives me a link that takes me to a site50 location. This sounds fishy but I cannot contact a verizon representative online or by phone. Anyone else having this problem?

I finally got through to Verizon and they confirmed it as a spam. We reset my account and I am good again except that the scammers got confirmation of my cell phone number which might lead to spamming in the future. It looked like a valid text msg but upon reflection, the link was not to a secure site. It was to an http: site rather than the expected https: type of site. Also another lesson learned is to remember the separate password for billing account interactions. It is different from the My Verizon Account password. It is needed to access help from Verizon and would have saved me a lot of time. Instead, I had to listen to many telephone menus before I got to a real person. Thanks for your help Ann154.

I keep receiving emails telling me that my account is about to be disabled if I don't supply my log in details etc. Phishing or real?

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.

My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

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.

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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My ipod has a message telling me that my ipod is disable and to connect to itunes. I've done that and nothing has happened. What else can I do?

I"m trying to get my son ipod touch unliocked. It has a message going across the screen telling me that my ipod is disable and needs to be connected to itunes. I've done that and I still can't get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

Hello again, update time.
Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
Cheers, Tom.

If the songs you're trying to transfer were purchased on iTunes.... i think they can let you redownload it FREE OF CHARGE.

My CS6 program that has never had a problem before, is not telling me that there is an error and that it "unexpectedly quit" when I simply try to launch the program. I have restarted my computer several times. It does the same thing each time. So then I tried uninstalling the program and re-installing. It said that it could not install due to an error. So I STILL can't launch my program. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I have to edit photos for a photoshoot and return them tomorrow. :/

I've downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 on my desktop computer. But its telling me that its a 30 day trial. I already pay monthly for Creative Cloud CC. Btw, earlier this evening I upgraded my laptop to CC 2014.

I've downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 on my desktop computer. But its telling me that its a 30 day trial. I already pay monthly for Creative Cloud CC. Btw, earlier this evening I upgraded my laptop to CC 2014. Is that the problem? I thought we could have the program on two different computers, as long as they're the same user and not being used at the same time.
