MacAppStore update security issue?

Wow. So many issues going on with Apple site that I don't like.
1.) Mac App Store issued an update for an app I deleted about a month ago.
Then it tells me I nned to log into another one of my accounts to update that one too.
Problem is, the email address it displayed as my other email address is not mine.
2.) I logged onto Apple Support and it does not give an option to explore my issue.
Anything close to it is grayed out so I cannot click on it to get any suggestions.
3.) I used Grab tool to take a 40k snap shot of the Mac App Store message mentioned above, but it the submit button is
not active to attach the image to this support  page. Are TIFF images not allowed?
Basically I want to find out why Mac App Store is linking me to this unknown email address?
Is this a hacking issue?
I am an avid Apple fan and feel support is getting harder and harder.

Is this a hacking issue?
Seems this ID is linked with the Chinese, I would be especially concerned in that (unless you have friends from there who used your computer recently). Did you install any software outside of the MAS recently? Like from the Pirate Bay or Iso Hunt?

  • WCS 4.1.83.0 alarm dashboard not updating security issues

    Hello,
    Not sure if the topic title made much sense but basically what is happening is this:
    I just finished getting 4.1.83.0 installed on a fresh server with no backup restorations. My 4404 WLC's (x2) are on version 4.1.171.0.
    I have been receiving an influx of WPA MIC errors on both controllers, that were previously showing up on the alarm dashboard of WCS (on an older version), but ever since the upgrade, they are not appearing on the dashboard at all.
    I have just added the controllers, some alarms are updating (rogue APs for one), and I have also tried refreshing the config through WCS.
    I can't seem to find anything on the 4.1 WCS config guide, so if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.
    As a note: The controllers have both reported these WPA MIC errors since I added the controllers to WCS, but no info was updated on the alarm dashboard.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    We don't have any chokepoints nor do we have a location server.
    Is that the reason why the security alarms aren't being flagged? If so then cisco should have documented that in the release notes.. on the previous version we weren't having this issue under the same conditions (security alarm was flagging).
    Just in case it's not clear where this is happening - I'm concerned about the panel on the bottom-left of the screen (java applet). Also when I go to monitor->security, there are no alarms (no previous/cleared either) when there should be.

    I need to update iOS 6.1.3 on my iPad2 to 6.1.6, due to security issue. Why is no update available? I do NOT want to install iOS 7, due to memory limitations.

    Any upgrade will be to the most recent, compatible version, in this case 7.0.6.

  • Security issue in DNS ! Update bind.

    Apparently there is a massive security issue in DNS protocol : http://securosis.com/2008/07/08/dan-kam … -released/
    or http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
    I am surprised I haven't seen any post on the forum about it. For now a solution could be to update bind to 9.5.0-P1 (I don't know if the one in testing is this particular one, there is no "P1").
    Every DNS server has to be upgraded since the issue is in the protocol, not in the code !

    A lot of systems got updated yesterday/today. I just checked a Windows Server 2003 x64 RC2 at work; yesterday it was vulnerable, but today it's reported safe after the recent security updates (this site offers some kind of check: http://www.doxpara.com/)
    I believe all the "big" ones in Linux did release an update yesterday, so there's probably plentiful of patches around... which is beyond the limits of my brain cells at the moment.

  • HT5919 My company will not allow us to download iOS 7 due to software / security issues on our end. The problem is I need to download numbers but it says I need iOS 7. Is there any way to get an earlier update that's doesn't require ios7?

    My company will not allow us to download iOS 7 due to software / security issues on our end. The problem is I need to download numbers but it says I need iOS 7. Is there any way to get an earlier update of numbers that's doesn't require ios7?

    Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.

  • Will there be a update for the iPad 1 that will take care security issues like 7.0.6 did for newer iPads

    Can someone answer my question?

    The iPad 1 is not afected by the security issue. Hence no update is necessarry.  The code that was at the root of the problem was not added to safari until iOS 6. It is not present in iOS 5 which is as high as an original iPad can go.

    You are OK. The fix is not necessary in iOS 5.1.1.

  • Movies list done in Notes updated to my Blockbuster account w/o my knowledge. Security issues?

    Movies list done in Notes updated to my Blockbuster account w/o my knowledge. Security issues?
    How was this possible?

    Ok, let me explain:
    One day at Blockbuster store I started to make a list on Notes app on my iPhone with movies that I want to add to my BB online queue when I get home (for DVD mail in delivery, just like Netflix used to be). All good so far. Few days later the list it's not in Notes anymore and when I checked my BB account the movies that were on the list I made in Notes are now in my BB queue. How was the list moved, the accounts are not linked, don't even think it's possible to link Notes with BB anyway.

  • HT4623 Do I need to update my iphone4 because of the security issue that has been published lately?

    Do I need to update my iphone4 because of the security issue that has been published lately?

    Your profile shows you have a 4S with 7.0.6. That is the most current update. Do you also have a 4 that you haven't updated? If so, you should update it too.

  • Other web browsers and security issues?

    Since even an Apple KB article recognizes the need for an additional browser and because of Safari's limitations and problems, I'm going to try switching to another browser (most likely OmniWeb and am looking at Firefox, Shira and Opera also though perhaps not as a primary browser) but I'm wondering about their ability to keep on top of any security issues for Mac? (and how do you keep up with security updates?)
    Though perhaps unfounded, at least with Safari, I feel that Apple has a vested interest in keeping on top of security issues (for Safari and Java) and I can readily find out about security updates via software updater.

    Most of the other Mac browsers have their adherents. They are all good browsers (I have 7 browsers installed to test various web sites and for change-of-pace usage). They all have their strengths and they all have their weaknesses. Only iCab and OmniWeb are still shareware, the rest are now or always have been free (Opera just recently stopped charging for its browser).
    I have settled on Firefox as my alternate browser and I use it maybe just a tad more than Safari, but I do switch back and forth between them. The Mozilla foundation is good at getting security updates out when needed. Firefox has a button on the toolbar to check for updates. One nice thing about Firefox is that you can install free extensions which enhance the features available. I have one to supplement tab features, one to control iTunes from Firefox's status bar, one to help me format messages in discussion forums, and one to block ads.
    I prefer OmniWeb for doing intensive research because of the way it handles tabs in its sidebar, showing me which ones I've looked at and which ones I haven't, and giving me great flexibility in rearranging tabs, which are viewable as thumbnails or text names (I have had up to a hundred or so tabs open in OmniWeb.
    Shiira is good and its fast. I have not checked for updates for a while, but the last time I updated there was still a problem with Shiira kicking you out of logged-in sites when you moved from page to page with in web site. This may have been fixed by now - they were aware of the problem back then.
    Camino is a native OS X cousin of Firefox and is also fast, but is not updated as often.
    I would stay away from Mozilla or Netscape unless you need all the additional modules they have and which take up hard disk space. Firefox and Camino represent the browser module of Mozilla/Netscape. Mozilla and Netscape have modules for email, irc chat, newsgroups, and for creating and editing web pages. Netscape is a branded and slightly customized version of Mozilla and is not updated as often.
    Opera is a nice browser and some use it as their main browser, but I have not seen anything that really stands out for me, but that does not mean it is not worth a look.
    I would stay away from abandonware Internet Explorer.
    As for checking for updates, several of them, as with many Mac programs, now have a menu item that allows you to check for updates. Most of them also announce their updates on both VersionTracker and MacUpdate.
    Happy Exploring.

  • Security Issue with Apple ID

    Today while using my iphone and trying to use facetime for the first time since updating to IOS6, my phone asked me if I wanted to use some email address that I do not have for facetime. What? The message pretty much said that this email address was linked to my apple ID. So I got to work logged into AppleID.Apple.com and saw the email address verified and also saw it displayed as an alternate apple id. Immediately, I changed my Apple ID password and called apple at 1800myapple since that is the number on the website and try to talk to someone that could assist me with this severe issue. Anyway, my iphone went dead and the people on the phone couldn't connect me to anyone because I couldn't give them a serial number to an apple device. I tried to explain to the technicians that this is a problem with my ID and that the alternate ID has access to everything that my Apple ID has access to. Both times the call went nowhere. This is ridiculous. Why can't I talk to a security team? Why is the technician telling me that I can manage my ID from the website, when I know that I am looking at the website and I cannot remove the alternate ID? How did this ID get associated with my account and why did I never receive an email informing me of the change?
    Since Apple has other services and not just products STOP ASKING FOR A SERIAL NUMBER AND ASSIST THE CUSTOMER WITH THE ISSUE especially since it is a SECURITY ISSUE.

    oh man, I know exactly what you're talking about. i have a relatively easy to guess apple id email and everybody in the world thinks it's theirs... but once I turned on two-step authentication, the emails stopped completely.  here's a faq about it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    once i turned that on, whenever they'd want to reset my password, they would get asked for my recovery key, which they don't have, haha!  victory is mine.

  • My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

    Why would you make a new account?  This will likely cause many problems.  Just get you old account enabled.
    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account.  You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
    Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.
