Multiple people claim I called them, but I didn't, what does it mean?

I've been getting numerous calls claiming that I called them but when I go back to my call history, I didn't call them ever.  What does this mean and is there a way to fix this?

    That certainly is a conundrum! I want to help, appleiphone4s! So let me clarify, you do not have record in your phone, nor on your call logs online, that you called someone, however, they do? Correct? Could you explain a bit more about the calls they are getting? Do they pick up? What happens? Any message left? Do their call logs on the phone match what is showing online (http://bit.ly/xB4iTc) on the bill? It sounds like someone may be spoofing your number. This basically means that they are calling from another number, but using a program to make the call look like it's coming from your number. You can find out more information here http://www.fcc.gov/guides/caller-id-and-spoofing.
There really isn't any way to prevent this from happening. You always have the option of changing your number online to prevent these occurances. Please reach out if you have any other questions.
Thanks!

  • I just lost my phone, it says "online, but no location available" what does that mean?!

    HELP ME PLEASE!

  • In photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one

    in photoshop elements 12 i try to select multiple people to view in organize but can only select one person at a time.  if I try to select two or more people to see their pictures, I get nothing.  I try to use CTL-click, but that does not work

    Hi,
    Try switching to Media view and then go to Find -> By Details.
    Set the field to People and select the persons name.
    You add further people by clicking on the + sign
    The two options above the search criteria allow you to select all photos containing at least one or only ones with all of your selections.
    The search can be saved in case you want to repeat it a later time.
    Hope that helps

  • My ichat will let me send video chats requests, but it will not let me accept them. What should i do? Also, sometimes it tells me i cannot add a 2nd or 3rd person to an existing chat because it is connected to AOL's relay servers. What does this mean?

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

    I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
    I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
    All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
    PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
    PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

  • What is this Symbol called and what does it mean?

    What is this symbol/icon called and what does it mean?  It goes away with it's "notification" and I would have no idea where to find it should I need to.
    Please.  And thank you.

    It did come from Apple as I had to deal with this.  But in speaking with another "Genius" I was trying to describe the symbol to him and never got an answer.

  • Trying to erase hard drive, but get "input/output error". What does this mean? What can I do to erase my hard drive so I can reinstall?

    Hi all,
    My computer a few days ago wouldn't start up, would just stay at the gray loading screen forever. So as a result I tried to reformat the hard drive and reinstall, but I can't reinstall, until I erase the hard drive, but when I try to erase the hard drive it says the erase failed due to an input/output error. What does this mean? What can I do to fix my computer?

    The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair
    Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • What does it mean when you call someone and your phone suddenly saids "end call"?

  • What does it mean when you call someone and it goes straight to the 3 beeps to mean cancelled

    hi
    what does it mean when you call someone and it goes straight to the 3 beeps to mean cancelled? this phone doesnt even ring, it just goes straight to the BEEP-BEEP-BEEP, its an iphone 4 and on IOS7 and it was ringing eailier on in the day when i spoke to this person. it wouldn't mean i have been blocked would it?
    what does all this mean?
    thanks
    mrredrunner100

    i got my friend to message this person to see if they had the same problem, and the message went through and i think he got a reply, and all of a sudden this has started to work again (calls only) but apparently none of my messages went through that i have sent since the block activated. and they still havent even though there working again, and "apparently" a message was sent to me at 9pm today and it has never arrived. so imessage and text still isnt working, before i go asking this person about this, is this a genuine block or is there a phone problem?

  • My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture?
    Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
    When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
    Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.

    Maybe you are doing nothing wrong and the problem is with the disk.
    Use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner
    to clone your system to an external drive.
    Then boot from your DVD go to Disk Utility and choose your entire drive > top icon in DIsk Utility.
    Go to Erase tab. Choose format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on erase. Now, install Lion and when you get to setup assistant choose to migrate from your external drive.
    This is slightly different than baltwo described and slighly longer but if there is any corruption on your disk a more through way to go, IMO.
    What baltwo is saying is to clone your volume over to an external hard drive with CCC reformat and clone it back. This will defragment the files and make them all contiguous but will not address any directory problems.
    Your choice. You can do it one way, then the other if it doesn't work out for you.
