Is the email I received from Apple really from Apple?

I received the following email and wonder if it really is from Apple:
Your Apple ID was just used to download Defender of the Crown from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
Order Number: QEECVW211BD
Order total: 19.35 £
If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iTunes Payment Cancellation Form to change your password, then
See Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple
I did not click on the link in the email.
When I went to the iTunes store no 'Defender of the Crown' is not listed as download.
I have cancelled the Visa debit card connected to my account, but it's a nuisance because the next time I want to buy something I have to register my card again.
I'm confused!

It's a scam. The URL of the link is nothing to do with Apple, but is evidently a phishing attempt to trick you into giving your personal details. You were right not to follow it.
You could forward the email as an attachment to [email protected] so that they may be able to take action.

    Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

    Good luck on it!

  • Deleted the email attached to old Apple Acc & forget password. Still registered to my iPod? How do I use a new Apple ID in App Store for my iPod?

    I have deleted the email address attached to my Apple ID. I know what the email address is but it is non-existant. I thought I remembered the password but apparently it is incorrect? When I go to the App Store on my iPod and click my account to try and sign out. It does nothing and the button is faded out. When I try to download a free app it asks for the password for the old account with a deleted email attached to it. How do I sign out of this account on my iPod so I can sign in to another Apple ID to download apps?

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into another account.
    NOTE:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    Try recovering access to your account by using the secret question methosd
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    Then
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • Imbedded photo's in the emails I receive

    I have noticed that pictures are being attached to the emails I receive. These pictures were not intented to be part of the email. The pictures appear to have been taken from either Linkedin or Facebook of people I know. How is this happening? They are located to the right of the "Subject" line and just above the link "Mark".
    Note:This does not happen on my Iphone

    I now realize that the pictures are being picked up from my contacts list on my Ipad as it should to show a photo of the sender of the email. Now the question is, how the pictures of people I know on Facebook, ended up as the picture of different people, sometimes more than one, on my contact list.

  • Hi.  Is there a way to limit the size of the emails I receive?

    Hi.
    Is there a way to limit the size of the emails I receive?   Can I set my iPhone4s to only download headers or set a limit to the size?   I can't see anything in the settings.
    Thanks,
    John

    My Gmail downloads only small embedded pictures. For videos and other big files I have to tap to download and this is a temp download. So you don't have any problem I thing. You can Delete the account-restart-add account back from time to time.

  • OfficialFile.asmx The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM'. ERROR

    We are getting an error on the authentication piece when trying to submit a file to the OfficialFile.asmx web service to submit a document to the Drop-Off Library. Here is the code snippet -
    public string FileUpload(HttpPostedFile FileInput, RecordsRepositoryProperty[] properties)
    string strFileUrl = string.Empty;
    RecordsRepositorySoapClient repository = new RecordsRepositorySoapClient();
    BinaryReader b = new BinaryReader(FileInput.InputStream);
    byte[] binData = b.ReadBytes(FileInput.ContentLength);
    repository.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(iUserID, iUserPassword, iUserDomain);
    repository.ClientCredentials.Windows.AllowedImpersonationLevel = System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation;
    repository.SubmitFile(binData, properties, null, FileInput.FileName, HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);
    strFileUrl = repository.GetFinalRoutingDestinationFolderUrl(properties, null, FileInput.FileName).Url;
    return strFileUrl;
    Although we are setting the network credential in the client call we still get the error
    - The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM'.
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Based on the error message, the issue is related to the authentication type.
    I suggest you can specify the credential type like the below:
    CredentialCache credentialCache = new CredentialCache();
    NetworkCredential credentials = new NetworkCredential(UserName, PassWord, sDomain);
    credentialCache.Add(new Uri(recordCenterUrl), "NTLM", credentials);
    Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:

  • Any email I receive from an AOL acct "has no content" on iPad

    Any email I receive from an AOL acct "has no content" on iPad, but does on PC. Same applies to iPhone. Email provider is AT&T Yahoo. Any ideas on why or a workaround? No other email source has this issue, just AOL.

    Under the settings and the mail,contacts, calendars tab there is a setting for 'load remote images'. Could that be the issue? are the e-mails that aren't showing up ones that, for example, are largely an image with links, like a e-mail from gap or old navy or the such? Such e-mails are 'remote images', meaning the e-mail, when you open it, contacts their server to download the splashpage ad. If that's turned to 'off' then those images won't load and mails that are made up of images would look empty.

  • When i send a contact by email the email is received but without the contact info.

    Can anyone help. it seems to work ok when i MMS but not on the email. the email is received but does not contain the contact info.

    I have the same problem.  Sought to insert a pdf into Apple Mail after editing a form pdf and only the blank form shows.  I didn't use Preview to generate the form, just Acrobat.  And, the filled in form inserts perfectly into an email when I use Outlook for Mac.  Problem only with Apple Mail.
    HELP!!
