Is this a legitimate Apple Support message?
I received a message from this web address: http://westemzagros.com/mac/fp/00/mac/fp/00/file.html stating I had used up most of my allowable storage space.Clicking on the link would allow me to resolve the issue. Before I do anything, can someone confirm this a legitimate Apple Support message?
No, it's phishing. Ignore and delete.

this is an apple generated message. simple!
what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem.. -

Is this a legitimate Apple number? 1-800-680-4131.
I'm getting a pop-up notice that says "Safari Alert" from www.macsystemalerts.com to the effect that I have "security issues" and "suspicious activity might have been detected" and to call 1-800-680-4131 immediately. Is this a real Apple number? I've never gotten anything like that from Apple before and it sounds fishy to me. Anyone know anything about this?
PastorL5's solution below worked for me except I didn't have to restart Safari. While Safari was open, I held down the command key while pressing the W key a bunch of times. That got rid of the Major security Issue call 800-680-4131 box and I was able to use Safari as normal again. The problem originally occurred when I tried to watch a live tv show for free online and downloaded what appeared to be MPlayerX.dmg, but I think it was just a virus. Before I tried this solution, I had put that dmg in the trash. I don't know if I also need to remove other files from my ard drive. Does anyone else know?

Re: Is this a legitimate Apple number? 1-800-680-4131.in response to Kellen Anderson
Kellen, when as Safari was opening I held down Command and repeatedly hit the "W" key to close all the windows Safari had opened and it fixed it right up! -
APPLE never answers this question. I love apple products but this kind of useless restriction drawing itself back to the underground...they only answer what the device can do and they never answer why the device can't do that? I want to directly post this question to apple.
Apple aren't here. You won't get a response from Apple on this user-to-user help forum.
Although speculation on Apple policies is not permitted on this forum, it has been previously speculated frequently, that the reasons for not allowing Bluetooth file transfers are:
1) Bluetooth is too slow for transferring multi-megabyte / gigabyte media files that iOS devices typically store. There are much faster ways of transferring files, not limited by arbitrary distances Bluetooth is.
2) Allowing file transfers would allow illegal sharing of copyrighted music and video files. Apple has a duty to protect such files from easy sharing due to agreements with the copyright holders for whom they sell this copyrighted content in the iTunes Store. -
I am currently deployed near russia, we have internet and everything else works, but when i loaded my redeem card to my acct (which took just fine) it tells me to update my information. upon trying to do this it tells me to go to support page......that does not help, i just want to use the money that i loaded on my acct.
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users here on these forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book. I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts. Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful. I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster. I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere. The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font. Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.
I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works! Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear. Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use. You can click onto that folder to change its name. Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted. This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

When I take a picture with iphone 4s the phone dies. I hold power button to power up. Thanks for any Help.
Apple Warranty should cover this hardware problem. You could try a Restore of the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer to confirm it is not software problem. Then make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

I'm getting a contact Apple Support message when trying to purchae in itunes. Unable to buy anything. Live support says "read terms and conditions". No place to confirm acceptance. No additional help available. Seems crazy - All I want to do is give them my money....Anybody?
This is a follow up. Finally, after almost 72 hours, I recieved another email from the original iTunes support representative. According to her, the problem is that one or more of my songs on the account are either not eligible for the upgrade or the file is corrupted and can not be upgraded. In short I cannot use the "Buy All" feature because I will always hit this roadblock. The only way to resolve this, is to upgrade each song individually or select a few songs at a time to upgrade.
I will have to do this until I get the song or songs that is causing the problem. Once I have identified the song(s), I can chose to repurchase them and get a refund. All songs today are at the DRM free format so repurchased songs will automatically be the upgraded file.
So I'll now begin the upgrade of the 314 songs. I guess it could be worse.
Okay, I got an answer and an offer of a refund, but this answer certainly could have been provided three days ago. Am I being unreasonable? -

Thanks in advance.

Hi! My name is Nazım . I live in North Cyprus. I’ve got Apple Ipad 2 and Iphone 4. My ıpad2 is iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G: Serial number: DQTFFVC1DFJ3., IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), model MC775LL .my itunes is last version. I bought my ipad from America.
I’ve recently bought Philips DC390 from Apple Store in Oxford Street. Althouh Philips dock 1 seemed to work properly (charged and player). The second dock isnot compatible with my ipad2. It didn’t work(play),It charges though.
I sended e-mailed to Philips.uk for assistance. They recomend met o reset my ipad2 to see if this clears any issue, but it does indicate a fault with the unit. It didn’t work either.s(everal time Ireset my Ipad2)
In addition to this, I contacted Apple support.UK on 22nd December 2011-12-23. I informed about the problem was likely to be with the apparatur.However I tried my father’s Ipad2 last night.software is the same my Ipad2’s IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), to my surprise it worked properly. I’ve already reset my ipad2 several times but it didn’work.
I would be grateful if you could make me some recommendations to sort out the refered my problem.Hi Nazim

How to Prevent Apple Support Communities from Sending Me Emails?
Hi,
How I can I prevent the Apple Support Communities website / tool from sending me emails?
I have disabled all emails in my profile settings (since about six months):
Still, Apple Support Communities keep sending me emails in increasing frequency:
(It is the same account / username / email, I have triple checked that.)
What options other than marking Apple as as spammer do I have left?
CheersHi,
Thank you – that (hopefully) resolves the issue!
Note, that I came to Edit Preferences not through my Profile, but through the link in the "update emails" itself.
The link in the emails (see screeshot) reads: You are receiving this email from Apple Support Communities. You can change your email preferences in your Apple Support Communities Profile.
And the link leads to the "Edit Preferences" page (the "Manage Email Notifications" page is not visible / linked from "Edit Preferences")
According to common "unsubscribe" practices in emails, I would expect that an "unsubscribe"-type of link leads me to a page where I can unsubscribe from the type of email I just received (and not unsusbcribe from 'additional potential future' emails or whatever you would call it in that case).
Hence, this "unsubscribe" link in the email should either go to the Profile page, or the Manage Email Notifications (where I can actualy unsusbcribe), NOT to Edit Preferences.
Hope, someone from Apple reads the above...
( Personally, I think the idea to split between past and future threads is a bad design in the first place )
