I recieved this email....I think it is a scam.....just FYI

It has come to my attention that you might have an interest in purchasing the operating system
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Final version SP1 & OFFICE 2013
I am selling Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 Final DVD --- the FULL Ultimate version.
This is not the retail version from the store shelf, but it is the one that Microsoft gives out at
IT Professional Conference Meetings to Engineers and Sales Professionals who are invited to come to these meetings.
Since it does not have the "Activation" policy files attached to the disk,it was not sold to the public,instead it
is used to promote their software which is a regular practice with Microsoft Corp.
It is not a beta version, trial version, pre-release or anything like that.Although this is a copied DVD and not an
"official Microsoft disk" it works exactly the same,and has even more benefits since it has no activation files, it can
be installed unlimited times on as many computers as you like which is a big plus!
The only down side to this is that there is no Web Based Support from MICROSOFT because it was not bought from them.
This is the same with any preinstalled programs in a store-bought computer. Microsoft states on their website
registration page for windows 7 that it is..."Completely Optional"

It is the full version, and as such it can be used to upgrade from an existing
operating system and can be used to perform a "clean" installation on a blank hard drive.
Windows 7, the next generation OS from Microsoft is now RTM. This DVD is bootable .
I'd be willing to sell it to you for a very low price of $40.-plus a small shipping & handling fee. If you include
OFFICE 2013 with it, I will include free shipping for a total of $50.- us dollars.You simply cannot beat this offer.
This would cost you $299.-plus tax in any store, or $600 for both items, and you can only install the store bought
version on one computer.As I said there are not any limitations or restrictions with this type of version other than
the web-based support, but who really needs that anyways? I don't.
If you want to purchase Windows 7 ($40.-) or OFFICE 2013 PRO ($40..-) or BOTH PROGRAMS ($50.-)
email me with your shipping address and inform me which item you want, and I will even send it in advance.
You will receive it in 4-8 business days (sent from outside the United States) and check it out for free to see if it
is in perfect condition (just check out whether it is readable on your system or not) just open it up and see if your
computer can read the files and if so then it will work with your system. Then email me back and let me know.
After I get your payment via an online-payment service such as Western Union which usually seems to work best for most people
I will email you the code-number to install the programs .This is the best method to do this type of business online....
for all parties involved.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank You,

Yes. Forward it to [email protected] and then delete it.

I just recieved this message when trying to email a itunes gift certificate, "This purchase would exceed the maximum Gift Certificate purchase amount for this Apple ID".Why I am limited to gift certificate and not other purchases.?

Chris CA, 62,910 points. Dang...that's a lot of support. Before I start, let me say Thank You! You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
1) You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own. It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site. I myself did not receive an e-mail. I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed. It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule. I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me. However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail. I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
2) "Why look for iOS apps?" That's a good very good question! I miswrote. I should have said "OS X apps." That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site. Good catch. As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write. I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain. My bad. :-)
3) In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account. It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice! Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit. Maybe it is there now. But, it sure wasn't there when I read it. It would have been very helpful.
4) You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)." I am curious, what do you mean by "here." Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum." Right? I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read. By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community. Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
Well, I think that wraps it up for another day. I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
Adios amigos!

Hi, new ipad2 user. Recieve some emails that should have images but in their place are question marks. any advice on how to fix this would be great. thanks alot..brad

On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
You can also try a reset. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When you recieve an email from apple saying "welcome to your new mac" what does this mean

hey people
i recieved an email saying "welcome to your new mac"
i have already got a imac and was wondering if this means someone has purchesed another mac?
thanks

Did the email ask that you click on a link or provide additional information about yourself? If so it's a phishing scam. Delete the message and ignore it.
If you did buy a new computer sometime recently, then it's just a welcome email, nothing more.

If you aren't receiving the email to your rescue email account (and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

I subscribe to emails from The Kim Komando Show and a few othe legitimate sources. Lately, I havent been recieving their emails. I emailed AOL, and all of my sources about this. Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks

If you log into your email account at your providers web mail page are the emails in your Inbox there? Thunderbird downloads messages that are in your Inbox. If the messages are not there it cannot download them.
Check the spam folder at your providers site. They might be there.

Dear Apple support team,
I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask my apple id confirmation from me about 6-8 emails. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.

We recently noticed an unusual activity in your iTunes account. Please complete the process to confirm your
informations.

This link will expire three days after this email was sent.
If you don’t make this request, your account will be blocked for security reasons.
Apple Support
In my opinion, i think "http://" should be "https://" right? Or Apple should show the link on your website that we can find, re- check and click by ourselve. Or Apple should do "How to confirm apple id" on your main page. ( in fact i'm not sure you already done "How to" on your website yes or not, because I cannot find it)
The apple id is sensitive security, it's concerned personal security and any credit card payment so please understand me that's why i must to interrupt your team to help me to solve this problem. I'm scared my account will be blocked. Please advice me.

It is a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password.

Preordering problems - haven't recieved the email - help please!

I preordered Panic at the Disco's new album 'Pretty. Odd.' over a week ago, and when I did it said that the album was due out today.
Users have already bought and reviewed the album on iTunes yet I still haven't been able to download my pre order. I haven't recieved any emails about it and I have checked multiple times through the 'Store > Check for Purchases' menu. It seems that the album was released this Saturday (21st) instead.
When I go to 'View Account > Manage Preorders' the order is there, but the 'expected release date' is in red...does this have any significance? When I click on the title of the CD it says that it is 'not currently available in the UK Store' - but I preordered it in the UK store!
As I have not been billed for it yet (as far as I know) I can purchase it, but I would prefer not to as there are specific pre order only privelages.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

What you see in your settings seems normal to me. I haven't received an email either.
And I have the problem here with R.E.M. 'Accelerate', due today, and already on regular sale, but preorder customers haven't been served yet. At another occasion this has annoyed me so much that I cacelled the order in account settings and bought the album in question right after that.
I think Apple should change that if possible, so that preorder customers (usually the diehards anyway) get their purchase at least at the same time as regular shoppers.

This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.

My current Apple ID, for which all of my content has been downoaded (e.g., music, apps) is associated with a work email address that I will no longer have access to in the near future. In my Apple ID account, I noticed I had two alternate emails listed, one is my .me account and the other is my .gmail account. I use my .gmail account, and it is the primary email I use with friends and family. I noticed both were not verified, and when I tried to, it said they were both associated with other accounts. I was able to log into a separate Apple ID account I must have set up at tone point with my .gmail, and I changed the email address to a new one I created. I also deleted the gmail account from any other Apple-relted account I could think of. I am still gettgin the same error message when I try to add it to my current Apple ID: "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
My concern is this: with FaceTime and now iMessage, it seems more important than ever that I am able to use my correct email address. With iOS5 beta, I cannot enter either my .gmail or.me accounts under "You can be reached for messages at:" as I get an error stating: Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
How can I remedy this issue and assign my .gmail account to my Apple ID?

I believe someone has changed something to my email, so I go to iforgot.apple.com to reset my email. After that, I haven't recieve any email reset yet.
What happened? Please help thanks
(n.b) my game center ID email is different with this apple id email.

Hey Aldy,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your Apple ID. I would be concerned about this too, and I have a couple of suggestions for the issue you are experiencing with your account.
It sounds like you are not getting the email to reset your password. If you have a rescue email setup for your Apple ID, the reset password email will be sent there and not your Apple ID email address:
When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided.

I need to send this email now!

My story starts wih me trying to scan a picture from the printer to my computer. The printer scans: Photo to email. After ten minutes a new message window pops up with the scanned picture in it. I tried to copy it and paste it into my other email so that I could send it from there and thats when I started having problems. The computer started freezing up with the rainbow swirl. I tried to just send it from the origanal pop up email window, although it kept buffering and wouldn't let me send it. After at least 9 hours now I still can't send it! My computer is not buffering as much after I restarted it, but it still won't send the email with the picture! The email is in is in my outbox and each time I try to send it it just ends up in my outbox again! I've tried this multiple times already! I tried to just send an email to my iPod that just says: "Hi." ,but that won't work either! I need to send the email by the end of today because the contest ends today! It is for an art contest! Please help! I am only thirteen so if you try to explain and help me please don't try to use complicated words!
Thank you so much!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This will take a while to read.
A very VERY long while.
That's good, because in the meantime, your computer MIGHT fix itself and the email MIGHT send successfully.
I know, I know you have this contest deadline...
I. First things first.
If there is an adult (parent, grandparent, teacher, nanny, caregiver, or college student) nearby, ask them for help.
Now.
Even if they CLAIM to know nothing about computers.
They probably know a little SOMETHING about computers.
That might even be helpful.
Ask them.
Now.
II. Second, IF POSSIBLE print this whole message thread before continuing.
Now.
WHY?
At some point you're probably going to turn your computer off, or at least quit the Safari browser app, (the one you're using right now to read this information), and then you won't be able to read these instructions to know what to do next until you turn the computer back on and re-open the Safari browser and return to Apple Support Communities and find this message again.
If it doesn't print, don't panic.
If there is another computer or iPad or iPod touch or iPhone or other smartphone nearby, locate this message thread Apple Support Communities in the browser: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4165033?tstart=0
If not, don't panic. You will probably be able to print later.
III. So what is the problem?
A. The 'rainbow swirl' as you call it (I call it a 'beachball'), most often happens when the computer gets really REALLY low on free RAM memory. RAM is the electronic memory chips located inside your computer. Those computer chips lose all their information when the computer power is turned off, IF the information isn't saved onto the hard disk first.
To make more RAM memory available the first thing is to quit any other running apps that you don't need right now in your system Dock at the bottom of the screen.
For example, if you have iChat or iMessage running, and Mail, and iTunes, and Safari, and iPhoto and your printer/scanner app, all you really need in order to scan and send your picture is your printer/scanner app, and Mail. So you can 'quit' all the other apps running.
Command+click-ing (also known as 'right-clicking' if that option is enabled on your mouse or trackpad) on the running App icon in the dock will bring up the option to Quit.
If the app is open on your screen, Command+Q will 'Quit' any app. If the app asks if you want to save unsaved information, choose 'Yes' to be certain that you're not deleting important information.
If an app is 'stuck' (spinning rainbow swirly thing), the option MIGHT be available to 'Force Quit'.
Quit all the other apps you don't need first.
Do NOT Force Quit any apps just yet.
B. It's possible that you are (also) very VERY short of hard disk space. That's the mechanical drive inside your computer that stores your Apps and your music and your pictures and emails and lots of other 'computer stuff' important to how your computer runs, magnetically, so you can bring it back later. It is where your apps are stored and your 'stuff' is saved.
You think you MIGHT be able to erase some files to make more space available, but that's very VERY risky if you don't know what you're doing, so I don't recommend THAT.
First, see how much free hard disk space you DO have available. Open Finder (the 'face' icon probably located in the system Dock at the lower left corner of your screen, and click on your hard disk drive name in the upper left column. (It's probably called 'Macintosh HD')
At the very bottom of the Finder window there should be two numbers, one showing some number of items (not important) and another number showing how much hard disk space is available (important!):
If you have less that 15.00 GB available, you are very short of hard disk space.
That makes your system run slow or very slow, and can cause 'rainbow swirls' even if everything else is working correctly. We cannot do much about that right now if you're almost out of hard disk space.
You will need some adult help to decide what could be erased to make more space available.
If you share the computer with a parent or sibling, it's very risky to start deleting stuff.
So don't delete anything now.
C. It's possible that the file size of your scan exceeds the allowable maximum file size your email account can handle and has things all jammed up. On Hotmail.com, for example, the upper limit is 2.0MB (megabytes). Apple Mail (iCloud, .me or .mac) seem not to have that limitation.
You said it took '10 minutes' to scan your picture. That sounds like your picture is scanned at a very VERY high resolution: 1200 or 2400 or 4800 or even 9600 dpi (dots per inch).
That's great for working at home and for retouching photographs and for professional artists, but most likely, it is much MUCH too large to email to your contest.
300dpi is probably a good maximum number for email. Check the contest instructions. They might want some other smaller number like 72dpi (internet web images) or 96dpi (Windows on-screen displays)
A high dpi number means the scanned image takes up a LOT of space in RAM memory and when stored on your hard disk.
That also means that it would take a very VERY long time to send that scanned file in email, although 9 hours is probably way WAY longer than it should take.
D. READ THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE USING A "DIAL-UP TELEPHONE MODEM" to connect to the Internet.
(Your adult should be able to help you determine this):
A dial-up connection typically sends and receives information at up to 56Kbits per second.
Most people have something faster today.
On my DSL internet account (pardon a bit of technical jargon, it's 3.0Mbit downloading (me downloading a music file from iTunes) and 512Kbit uploading (me sending a picture via email), sending one 2.0MB file can take 5 to 15 minutes. Sending the same 2.0GB file on a 56Kbps dial-up modem could easily take almost 10 times longer, or 50 minutes, up to maybe 2.5 hours. But that's still nowhere close to 9 hours.
IV. OK. Got it. But my computer is still sitting there with spinning rainbow swirlies, and I have this contest deadline quickly approaching...
What do I do to SOLVE this problem and get my picture emailed today???
A. You've 'Quit' every unnecessary application?
The only ones left should be the printer/scanner app, and Mail.
Sometimes, that frees enough memory for things to begin working 'normally' again.
So,while reading all of this, has your spinning rainbow swirly stopped and the computer returned to somewhat 'normal' function?
YES - Check your Mail, Sent folder to see that your message finally got sent.
Is your message with the picture in there?
YES - Great. Problem solved. Have a great day. And next time, don't wait until the last minute to submit contest entries!
NO? Check Mail, Outbox folder (Outbox is only visible and has a number showing IF there is something in the process of being sent, but not completed yet.)
Is it in the Outbox?
YES - It could be 'stuck'. You'll probably have to Force Quit the Mail program. That still MIGHT NOT clear your 'stuck' email with the email provider program though.
B. Were you able to Force Quit all remaining programs?
YES - Great. Now it's time to click , Restart.
That will clear memory and reset things to get ready to try again.
NO - If Force Quit doesn't work, then it's time for more drastic action:
C. It's time turn the computer OFF.
Why?
Because there's likely other no way available to you to 'fix' what's still 'stuck'.
WARNING: Turning the computer OFF shuts down EVERYTHING, and throws away ALL unsaved information in all apps that are still running but 'stuck'.
THAT DOES SOUND DRASTIC!!!
It is. But you have this contest deadline...
D. If the adult you have nearby is NOT comfortable with you doing this, then STOP!!!
You're going to miss your contest deadline.
It isn't the end of the world.
You're thirteen.
There will be other contests and other opportunities.
You're done until someone who IS comfortable helping you is there with you.
Sorry.
E. With your Adult's permission to turn off the computer, and with them standing or sitting next to you, hold down the computer power button for up to 10 seconds, until the computer screen goes black and the computer shuts off completely.
WHEW!
Take a deep breath.
Tell your adult to start breathing again, too.
(Blue adults passed out on the floor from a lack of oxygen aren't nearly as helpful as breathing ones.)
V. OK. Now what? I still have this contest deadline and now I have XX minutes less because I've been following your long drawn-out instructions.
HELP!
A. Turn the computer back on.
B. Wait for everything to come back up, and then log back in as you usually do.
C. If you have a lot of programs set to start automatically, like iMessage or FaceTime or iChat or Safari or Mail...
Use Command+Q to 'Quit' all of them NOW.
Why?
They all take available memory from the two programs you probably REALLY need at this point:
1. Your printer/scanner and
2. Mail, and
3. maybe Safari, if you need to refer to these instructions again. Now you should be able to PRINT them, if you couldn't do that before
If Safari normally opens with a WHOLE BUNCH (3 or more) of Tabs opening things like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Google and...
Close EVERY open Safari tab except 1.
D. Next, check to see if your printer/scanner app has saved your previous scan.
I can't tell you how to do this, because I don't know what software you're running. Sorry.
E. If you KNOW the filename**, locate your saved scanned image and open it using Preview and refer to the ADDENDUM below
F. If you DON'T KNOW the filename, try re-opening the printer/scanner app.
G. If you CAN'T FIND the file in three minutes or less, it's probably quicker to re-scan your picture than to spend more minutes looking for the last scan.
H. Use your printer/scanner software to scan the file AT 300 dpi
AND
I. SAVE THE FILE TO YOUR DESKTOP, because it's MUCH easier and MUCH FASTER to find a new scan at the right resolution saved to your desktop than to 'fix' some huge image saved at the wrong resolution* in some file directory called My Computer/My Documents/My Printer/My Scanner/My Scanner App/2012/Aug/1/jpg/miscellaneous/Image_2952.png
J. Don't let the scanner program TRY to automatically send it via email again.
Do it yourself:
K. Open Mail (assuming it's all set up). If not, open Safari, and navigate to your email site like Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail...)
L. Select New Message or equivalent
M. Enter the email address you're sending your contest entry to.
N. Enter the Subject name the contest rules tell you to use.
O. Enter all the information you're required to submit for the contest.
P. NOW, attach the scanned image you just saved
Q. You saved the scan to the Desktop.
W. You might need to click Desktop icon in the left column to get the list.
X. Click on your image filename and click the blue Choose File button to attach it.
Y. Double-check everything to be certain you've included all the needed information AND your scanned picture.
Z. Click 'Send'
Check to be sure the message goes. On my MacBook, I hear the 'jet flyover' sound when mail goes out successfully.
You can start breathing again.
(And nearby your Adult helper can too.)
You're welcome!
ADDENDUM:
** THE "YES, I DO KNOW THE FILENAME AND DID FIND THE FILE AND OPENED IT WITH Preview..." instructions
THIS is how to 'FIX' your huge picture file scan so it will be smaller, and send faster, and not get 'stuck' because your email account cannot handle a huge file, so 'OK, I'M REALLY DESPERATE HERE', BUT LIKELY TO CAUSE A LOWER-QUALITY IMAGE:
A. Find the scanned filename in Finder.
B. Double click on the filename.
C. That should automatically open the file in Preview.
D. Select Tools, Adjust Size.
E. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select the Fit Into to largest size image available.
On my computer it is 1920 x 1280 pixels.
F. Now set the Resolution to 300 dpi.
You'll have to type in the numbers.
G. At the bottom left of the Resulting Size box, you should see two numbers, the 'was MB' (original scan file size to the right), and the new KB to the left, in both pixels and KB/MB.
H. Your goal is to adjust the size to make the new resulting file size listed at the bottom left about 1.0MB or LESS. In my example, I reduced a 5.7MB photograph to 615KB (nearly a 90% reduction in file size, but with some loss of image quality).
I. Then, click the OK button to make the change.
J. Now in the top menubar, click File, Save As. That saves your changes, but still keeps the original file unchanged, so you can go back to it and try resizing it again without scanning it again, if you don't like the results.
K. Now another screen pops up, asking you the name of the file
L. Add 'resized' to the name of your file, so you know which one is the original and which has been changed.
M. Notice that there is a slider labeled Quality. Right now, it is probably about 3/4 of the way to the right.
Sliding it all the way to the right will increase quality AND increase the file size.
N. Try moving the slider to the right, and release it to see the change in file size.
O. Remember, our ultimate goal is a modified scan file SMALLER THAN 2.0MB.
P. When you're satisifed with the file size and the quality slider, click the blue Save button.
Q. Now, try emailing the 'filename'-resized image you just saved.

I recieved this email....I think it is a scam.....just FYI
