just recd an email from paypal saying I should update my browser for security. How do I do this?

This sounds like a fraudulent email and will not be from PayPal. PayPal never send emails telling you to download software.

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s. I have an iphone 4. It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password. How do I know if this email is genuine?

I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S. I have an iphone 4. It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password. How do I tell if the email is genuine?

Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

Need to stop fire fox from asking me to update my browser how do I do this

Fire Fox keeps telling me I need to update my browser, newer browser is not compatible with my banking system. I updated and could not access my bank account, so I went back to previous version but I keep getting notice to update it is very annoying, how do I stop this.

You should always use the latest Firefox version for your daily browsing to have the best protection.
If you really need to use an older Firefox version for specific websites then either install this older version alongside of the current Firefox release by doing a custom install and creating a new profile and desktop shortcut or by using a portable Firefox version.
See:

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
You can install a portable (ESR) Firefox version to access websites that do not work with the current Firefox release.
The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.

HT5622 I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it? I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase.

I think my granddaughter bought a $3.99 app after I put the password in for a free app. I just got an email from my credit card confirming the purchase. How can I find out what she purchased? Can I get credit for it?

The password is good for 15 minutes to make purchases. You should receive a receipt in 24 to 48 hours for the purchases. There is a link to Report an issue. You could use that to start a conversation with iTunes Support about a refund.
Apple considers all sales final. But has been known to offer a one time refund. So the question is, do you want to use your one time refund on this purchase or one more expensive in the future?

HT5622 seems like every 3-4 days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been reset,if you didn't change it go to etc'

ipad 4
ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.

When I turned off Find my iPhone, Apple sent me an email saying: I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. I don't understand!

I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia. I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone? I still have to put my passcode in.

What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

Just moved my email from entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly. When adding in a small company logo, windows computers only receive signature as an attachment. Am sending email as Rich Text. Any ideas on a fix

Just moved my email from Entourage to Mail. Having real problems with getting my signatures to work properly despite sending email as Rich Text.
When adding in a small company logo to the signature, PC's / windows computers only receive signature and logo as attachments.
I've tried all possible fixes I can find including getting a PC user to format the logo but no joy. Has anyone experienced this and any ideas on a fix gratefully received.

Send it as html so the signature is an image source URL

my mail only receives certain messages . received email from apple saying mail is full and it isn'.
a lot of email that others send me don't even get to may mailbox.

Your icloud storage must be full, from emails, backups, and other data.
Go to
Settings>General>Usage. This tells how much storage is used on both iCloud and on the device.

TS4009 Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?

Why did I get an email from apple saying my iCloud storage is being downgraded?

You were (previously) a member at MobileMe and got 20GB's of free iCloud storage in addition to the 5GB's offered by the "free" iCloud service.
At the end of this month the 20GB's will go "poof" (like the rest of MobileMe).

It's a scam (phishing) to try to get you to disclose your iCloud credentials. Apple requests that you forward these to [email protected]

HT4436 Just received an email from iCloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and decrease to 5, when I had been using 10+. What is this??

I just received an email from icloud stating that my free upgrade was going to expire and it would decrease to 5 (when I have been using 10+). What is this??

The actual amount of extra free storage varies depending on how much storage previous subscribers had.
If you do nothing your storage will dowgrade to 5GB so you should make sure you don't have more content than this.
If you want to continue with the increased storage by paying for it, please see
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5527

There have been a number of phishing scam emails going around for at least half a year...do not respond, click links, or do anything with that email. Apple does not operate that way.
