I've been spoofed!! Any help is much appreciated.

Currently I am receiving, literally, hundreds of emails titled "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender". I don't even use my @mac.com address for emailing purposes so I was very confused upon receiving this. I've spent time researching what has happened and it looks like someone is using my email for spoofing. Sending SPAM emails with the return to address being mine. There's a lot of "there's nothing that you can do" at the end of this question, but I thought that I would try again. If you have any solutions please let me know. Thank you!

Two step verification is a very valuable and powerful feature, and, if the celebrities whose account were hacked had implemented it they would not have been hacked. I use it for every account that offers it, including gmail and Paypal. Unfortunately, most banks, who really need it, do not offer it.
The one downside with Apple is that you take complete responsibility for your account; Apple can no longer help you if you forget your password, no 2 factor devices are working, and you lose the 16 character recovery key. So put the recovery key in a really safe place.
The emails will stop in a few days. They are an example of something called "bounceback spam". Since many sites have become adept at blocking spam the spam is sent to a known "dead" address with a someone's spoofed address as the sender. Then the sender gets the bounce messages, because they are not blocked. For this reason if you manage an email transfer agent (as I do) you no longer report bounces to your users, or they will be treated as spam.

5 R's not working on Frozen Ipod-any help very much appreciated!

I think that I've disconnected my Ipod when I shouldn't have (when it was on a manual sync. setting, i Think). It has the Apple icon on permanently and doesn't respond to:
-5 R's (no success, despite repeating them on a number of occassions)
-turning the PC on and off
-neither itunes or my computer recognises my Ipod when it's connected to any of my USB ports and therefore I can't resore original settings...
I'm desperate to resolve as I've only got this Ipod back from servicing a week ago and I'd just worked out how to trnsfer my Itunes library from my old laptop onto my new one and just after deauthorising my purchases and I was about to play, then this happens...
Any help or advice would be very gratefully received.
Many Thanks,
Medsy

I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I downloaded that I don't want. I can get the apps lto wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. Any help is much appreciated.

I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I was downloading but froze. I can get the apps to wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. I have tried re-setting and didn't work. Help will be appreciated.

See if anything here helps.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
Reboot 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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

I have the iPod Touch 4th Gen, my issue is my iPod wont connect to wifi attall. The signal bars come up full, but it wont let me log on and it says fbapierrordoman. how do i fix this? whys it doing it? any help is much appreciated, THANK YOU

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. (Is this wiping) See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. (you mayhave done this by wiping)
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT202118 my 3rd generation apple tv will not come on just a white flashing light my first generation one is working fine? tried unplugging it nothing, any help is much appreciated.

my 3rd Generation Apple TV will not come just a white flashing light i tried unplugging it for 30 seconds nothing tried the menu button and down arrow that did help as well and suggestion? Thank you I'm not very tech savvy.

Click on the blue link I gave. You would need to hook it to a computer running iTunes using a microUSB lead.
If you have an Apple Store nearby take it there and see if they can sort it out.
It is possible the display resolution is wrong - you could try holding menu and up arrow on remote together for 6 seconds which will make it cycle display resolutions - but only if it is actually working but showing a black screen due to wrong resolution selected.

I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone. However, I've been unable to figure out how to save video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
What are you (manually) or the project (automatically) setting as the project preset?
(See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if fields look grayed out).
What are the properties of these source media, including file extension? The brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the
video may give us this information.
When the source media hit the Timeline for the first time, is there an orange line over their content? Or is there
no colored line and an orange line appears over them only after you have edited them?
Please elaborate on "poof" after rendering the Timeline content by pressing the Render button above the Timeline content with the orange line over it.
a. Media Offline displays?
b. Other?

Was able to bluetooth one time to play scrabble on our two iPad 1's, but have not been able to do so again. Both are searchable, but are not able to find each other. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Both need to be in the lobby, and searchable at the same time. Also, if either has been paired with a keyboard or headphone since you played, go into settings, and make sure those devices are unpaired, and not interfering with the process.

Hey there Frank0619,
If you have not been able to install iTunes because the Windows Installer service is not available, I would recommend the troubleshooting in the following troubleshooting to help.
Issues installing iTunes for Windows
These in particular:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes, you'll need to log in to your computer with an administrator password. If you're not sure if you have an administrator account, read Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator? You could also refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates.
To download the latest updates, visit the Microsoft Windows Update website. iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 with the latest Service Pack installed. If you can’t install the updates, refer to your computer's help system, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for assistance.
Download the latest version of iTunes.
The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded at http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/.
Disable conflicting software.
Some Windows background processes can cause issues for other programs and processes. These conflicts can prevent applications, such as iTunes, from installing. Disable conflicting processes by starting your computer using MSConfig:
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows XP
Using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8
Some security software made by other companies can't be disabled using MSConfig. If you've installed security software and you're having issues installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows, you might need to disable or uninstall security software to resolve installation issues.
Restart your computer.
Install iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Get a black screen with a colored border saying that mozilla is not responding. Any help would be appreciated.

Start firefox and get to homepage . When proceeding to another link or page firefox stops responding and I get a black screen with a colored border stating at the top of the page that mozilla is not reponding. Try to go back to home page and mozilla shuts down. Any help would be appreciated. Prefer to use firefox over internet explorer in which case the problem is not duplicated. IE9 works fine. Long time firefox user and hope to continue to be. Thanks

I created an account just to say that firefox is not what it used to be and I'm very disappointed in it and it's developers. I've been with firefox since the day of it's launch. Every new version after firefox 2 has been a let down--- what's the point when I get the same type of ridiculous crashes and freezes? What really annoys me is when I click "new" to create a new message to send within hotmail and it freezes for about 30 seconds to a minute. This happens every time without fail! I've updated a newer version 3 times and still the same thing. I've noticed that there have been more new releases, but I'm now convinced that it's only for show--- trying to stack up to Opera. Firefox copies off of Opera a lot, but it's too bad the developers can't copy it's stability. Who wants to have to read through forums looking for a fix... who has time for that? I don't want to, but I'm really considering leaving firefox for good. Please, get it together and FIX firefox.

I've been spoofed!! Any help is much appreciated.
