Is this spam? What is iProtect?

I keep recieving this text and it orginates from a China prefix followed by my own phone number--Verizon says it can't be blocked because it is international and they are costing me money. Is this spam?
iProtect - Your sim status has changed, it may be caused by a reboot or a sim change.

You receive this message because someone in China who has a number similar to yours have entered your number as their alternate number (without the China international code) so they can be alerted when their iphone is restarted or when their sim is changed.
I believe that all you could do is call that number and explain them the situation or tell them to include the China international code as part of their number.

TS3276 This is what I think happened. An email was sent and my mailbox thinks it's spam. How do correct that?

What does "it" mean? Are you referring to Apple's mail application? The best you could do there is find the message in your junk mailbox and click the "not junk" button on top. Otherwise, it depends completely on your email provider.

What about all this spam on iphone!

Help! I have a great filter system on my mac and all spam hits the bulk mail folder for deletion, however, on my iphone I spend most of my time deleting spam messages manually. I have been to apple store with no success - they say there is no way to keep the spam out. I think that there must be a way! Suggestions please!!

RonAnnArbor:
You prove my point beyond even my expectations.
I said the additional SPAM was not a result of the iPhone.
I also do not think that it is even part of AT&T.
What I said is that is is interesting that my email SPAM has reached a magnitude higher than I ever experienced since registering my phone approximately 35 days ago.
You merely fortified what I said by telling me that your SPAM has doubled/tripled in the last 30 days. Makes me wonder where all of this SPAM is coming from since I registered my iPhone. Hackers!!! - Hmmm!!! Somebody selling a list of new iPhone users. Not a coincident at all. Think about when you registered your iPhone and when you started getting double the SPAM.
As I said I have been using AT&T for cell phone service for over 12 years and never experienced as much SPAM as since I registered my iPhone.

Mail suddenly marks as spam what is not and viceversa. It has worked perfectly until a few days ago. How can I restore the old junk "learnt" list? Where is it to be found?

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I used to have an OLD Photoshop cd but it has been lost and my program is no longer on cd. I talked with some photographer friends and this is what one of them told me to get: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and CS CC... HELP please?

If you still have your serial number, look at OLDER previous versions http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html

I ran a virus/trojan fix and this is what it said it could not repair something in the main library core or something like that. What do I do? The problem seems to be with safari?

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

Problem caused the ptrogram to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. This is what I am getting every time I try to open Photoshop

What am i doing wrong? I removed the program and downloaded it again, but I keep getting this.

What does the detailed crash report say? Check the windows system event viewer for details.
And update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website - because most of the crashes on launch are due to people running really outdated video card drivers and not picking up the past few years worth of bug fixes.

This is what I want... how do I do it?

This is what I want... how do I do it?
I want to have all of my family devices, multiple iphones, multiple ipads, multiple macs all share the same photo library and same photo stream and be able to view that content on apple tv (which apparently requires one icloud account). And also I want to have all of the devices share a music library.
... but I don't want ALL of these devices to share contacts, or app downloads, or browser history in safari, etc. I want MY iphone, ipad, laptop to share those things, but not anyone else. And vice versa, they want to share those things with THEIR iphone, ipad, laptop... but not mine.
So there is sharing, but selective sharing.
It seems like Apple has provided and absolutely brilliant cross device solution for single people with one itunes account, and one icloud account. But the majority of Apple users don't fall under this category.
Why doesn't Apple have a system where you select what is pushed and to what devices under one family of devices to select from? It would seem very useful.

Changed my Apple ID and this is what happens....

I changed my apple ID last week, i figured if i change it then it would be the same on all my devices, boy was i wrong! ive nothing but trouble since i did... i changed it to my @me.com email address, which i now cant verify becasue i cant access my me.com email until i verify it!!
Ive spoken to 3 different apple support agents over the phone, which werent much help, though i was told its a problem they are getting quite a lot at the moment.
So anyway... nothing working still, contacts all gone, documents all gone, anything related to iCloud GONE!! atleast until i can verify my Apple ID.

As I said you need to:
You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID
