Is anyone else receiving LinkedIn spam messages?

I am not even on LinkedIn, and yet I received two strange messages yesterday and today. One message says for me to stop sending spam messages for my business. As I said, I am not even a member of LinkedIn. Do you suppose someone I know, who has my email, has been affected by malware, and their contacts are being used fictiously? How do I make this stop?

I have two .mac addresses and as I said above, am a member of LnkedIn, but have not received any spam, so I doubt it's Apple's fault.

Did anyone else receive a text message from Verizon stating you need to confirm your order?

Received a message stating that you need to text YES to confirm or NO to cancel. It displayed my order number and everything, so I happily replied YES. What's weird though is that my confirmation states to "Deliver by 9/19" but the Order Status pages states "Ship by 10/14". o.O
I am confuzzled because my pre-order was completed before 3:10 AM and it coincided with what the confirmation email said. Now my only remaining question is which date is right?

That is so bogus! Are you telling me I stayed up to pre-order so I can receive it on the 19th for nothing? Regardless of what y'all needed to verify, a phone should have been placed on the side awaiting confirmation granted that I put in a pre-order early. On top of that, there is no way I should have been pushed back all the bloody way til October, thereby voiding any of my trade-in chances.
You know what's funny though, I got that stupid 10/14 date BEFORE I was sent the text message asking for verification, and a charge was already placed on my card (well more like a placeholder). Also of note, both my checkout page and confirmation email state 9/19. If you lot weren't planning on getting the phones out on Friday, why post such? If I had originally seen a 10/14 date it would've been fine and dandy, but to see one thing and told that what you see does not matter is just ridiculous! To top it all off, y'all are shipping the lower capacity phones already but those of us who want the maximum are being put through the ringer for no reason.
This is unacceptable.

Is anyone else receiving this error message?

When I try and sign into the iTunes Store, I keep getting the following error message:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request.
You do not have permission to access the requested resource.
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
I can browse the itunes Store fine, and browse the web on safari and firefox, but can't sign into iTunes for downloads.
I'm running iTunes 7.6.2
I've emailed iTunes support and they've said my actual account is fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just did the OS update last night, and now I am having the same problem as you. When I click on a song it asks for my password. After I put it in it says there was an error in storing your authorization information on your computer

I received a spam message from my iCloud email to my hotmail account - what gives?

So I have my Hotmail email and iCloud (@me.com) account on my iPhone. Suddenly today, I received an email from my @me.com account - to my Hotmail account - this is very odd as I rarely-to-never use my iCloud email account. So I have a feeling either A. it was a genuine security breach or B. it's some weird hoax.
Yes, I know many people spam with names that look similar etc - but I've checked the message headers - and they appear like a legitimate message. Also, I replied to the message - and received it in my @me.com account. I'm not some n00b who calls the help desk - but was wondering if anyone else had this issue today...
I've included the message header below - *note that I've replaced my real email address with 'main_user'

Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.

The message is very clearly bogus, full of errors of every kind, right from the start: "Dear Apple Custumer,"
The fact that it came to my own iCloud address worries me since usually such schemes are to a broad group, like "[email protected]"
I have forwarded the email, with Long Headers, to the fraud-combating websites. Can't find any hint on apple.com/support as to where at Apple itself to direct it.

Re: Has anyone else received a phishing, "Urgent Alert From Apple Support"? It came to my actual iCloud email address.
YES today in the UK, the email text is as below, together with several Links to "Apple" sites and an Apple logo and European support address.
Fairly crude but could fool naive users.
Any one know how to get to the addresses behind the links without clicking them? Just copying and pasting as plain text doesn't seem to work. Any other way just copies the Hyperlink.

Has anyone else received an email claiming to be a beta to try out of what is termed "iWorks" through iCould?

Today I received an email claiming to be from Apple. Below are the contents of the email. It basically claimed to be offering me a chance to test out a beta version of what it called iWorks on the iCloud. I just needed to sign in to test it out. Has anyone else received anything similar? Has anyone been able to verify its contents? Or is it a scam? It allegedly was sent by email address of "[email protected]" Help?
Thanks,
Chris
Get Started
Dear Christina,
We’ll soon be introducing a new and exciting feature to iCloud. It’s called iWork for iCloud and it’s a suite of apps — Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — that make it easy for anyone with an iCloud account to create and edit great-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations right on the web.
We’d like to invite you to be one of the first to try it, so we’re giving you early access to the iWork for iCloud beta. All you have to do is sign in to iCloud on a Mac or a PC using the current version of Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer. Then just click on Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and you’re off.
We’re really proud of these apps and we’d appreciate your help in making them as great as they can possibly be. So we’d love to hear your feedback as you use them.
Sign in to iCloud.com to get started with iWork for iCloud today.
Sincerely,
The iWork Team

Has it been verified with Apple? Because I just called Apple care, and the technician I spoke to knew nothing about it. He said he thought it was a scam and recommended I post it here.
Confused, anyone? Lol.

Anyone else received dented iPad air out of the box?

Anyone else received a damaged iPad air out of box?... 2 dents on back out of the box.

I just took a call from my local reseller and Apple have agreed to replace the iPad. A bit late for a Christmas present - but it appears to be ending well.
I'll be certain to unpack and check everything before leaving the store next time

Uninstall iTunes, and go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577 and get the 64 bit version.

Has anyone ever received an error message that says "There are -1 articles in the folio and you have reached the -1 article maximum allowed." I'm not sure why I'm getting this message or what to do. Any advice?

What do I need to do to be able to upload articles to a folio again? Has anyone else ever received this message?

I'm trying to add any article to any shared folio, and I'm unable to do so.
I'm working on a new folio, and I wanted to start populating it with articles so I tried to add an article and I received the error message saying that I've reached my limit. But it seems unusual that I'm getting that, especially since the limit it mentions is "-1 articles." I've never seen this error before.
I've tried deleting entire folios that had about 20 articles within them and it still sends me the same message.
I have noticed that I am able to upload articles to an offline folio... but I don't think that's helpful to me right now.

TS1702 I have an I-pad 4. I tried downloading OS 6, and part of the way in the download process I get an error message. Has anyone else experience an error message?

I get an error message when downloading iOS 6. Anyone else have the same problem?

I think you may have been thrust into the future Teelea.
Now that I got that out, and I know this is a little off topic of the title of this postig but - I am having a serious problem with iOS 6 on my iPhone and iPad. For the iPad, which is what we are discussing here, since the update, any app that relies on a "play" button will not play. I hit the sideways facing triangle and it changes for 2 seconds to the "pause" symbol as if it is going to play, then changes back to the arrow. This is literally in every app that plays audio or video.

Anyone Else Not Get New Message Indicator in the Messages Section of the Menu Screen?

I have been on the phone with Technical Support numerous times and they don't seem to have an answer to this question, so I thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this. And before anyone suggests this, technical support's answer has been to pull the plug on the box to reset it and this has not worked.
The issue is with the "Messages" portion of the "Menu" screen. I know Verizon does not offer a light on your STB to let you know you have a message. Instead, you are supposed to be able to go into the Menu screen and see the word "NEW" next to "Messages" along with the picture of an envelope to let you know you have a new message.
For whatever reason, I don't get either of these indicators. I never thought I had a message until I was at a friend's house and they went into their Menu and they had "NEW" next to their Messages along with the envelope indicator. I went home and saw that I had about five messages in my Messages box, some of which were very old.
While this is not a huge deal, it still bugs me that Verizon has no answer. I thought my STB may have an issue, but other than this, they work fine. (By the way, neither of my STB give me either indicator).
So I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you get it fixed? Did Verizon have to come out and do something, did Technical Support need to do something on their end, or did you need to get new STB? One time Technical Support tried to tell me that it may be an issue with Fios in my area, but that theory was shot down when I went to my friend's house. I have never gotten either indicator, and I have had Fios for almost one year.
I would appreciate any information you have. Thanks.
Solved!

Hi MiMeQu,
The indicator in the menu and the visual indicator on the front of the stb should both alert you of messages.
emphasis added in quote
It would be nice if the Verizon employees had the correct information when posting here. The indicator light hsa never been operational since I got TV service 3 1/2 years ago (as Matcarl said). The reason given by Verizon was "It confused too many users when the light came on and created excess calls to the FSC".
As for the envelope in the menu, mine used to work but also stopped working on my DVR (7216) about a month ago. To confuse matters my 2500s (2 of them) still show the envelope when there is a message.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.
