My email was recenlty hacked with all files deleted and likely stolen... Is there someone at APPLE to discuss this with?

The hackers got into my iCloud accound and forwards all emails to a bogus adress with my name with the letter "z" at the end at a site called "live.com." All incoming emails were leteted.
An email to all my contacts was sent saying I was in the pHillipines and needed money - bit it gave no address to send me any assistance. I assume these emails contained viruses and maybe so-called "trojan horses" to infect the systems f my contacts.
The hackers also somewho deleted and lilely stole almost all the archived emails I have saved - and there were a lot of these - so I am extrmely concerned.
I have not been able to find an live person (even through myapple.com") who could give me any detailed advise on all the tings I need to do now. I have done many things of course including subscribing to an identity theft service, changing all passwords, opening a new email account not related to APLLE, downlpwading something called MacScan and doing a thourough spyware chanecl, usine the data encryption and firewall options that APPLE provides (and I had not used) etc.
By I was wondering if there is anything else I need to do: Is there a detailed manual somewhaere?
I am stunned that some emails of an innocuous nature - like the ones in my TRAVEL folder - were not seleted or stolen whilce the rest were - what does this mean?
Also: Can I trust MacScan software - is there a better source software package to consider?

You have pretty much done everything that you can do. You can call AppleCare and ask to be transferred to the Account Security team to set up new security questions for your Apple ID if your iCloud account is the same.
Not sure what you are referring to with MacScan. In this case the people who got into your account probably did not hack through your computer they somehow learned what your password was.

Hi Toniann,
If you have a recent iCloud backup that was done when that message was on the devcie, you can restore from that backup.
No, Apple does not keep your messages, no do they have access to them. That would be a serious invasion of privacy, don't you think?

2. transfer them manually over the network to a shared volume

I am grateful for any advice.

A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I got a virus in my email on my IPAD the date was of the email was from 1969. It started mutlipling and them wied out all my email accounts it seems to just be locked. I just get a blank screen in email. What do I do?

My IPAD 2 got a virus in my email. The date of the email was from 1969. It started mulltipling and just wiped out all my email accounts. I just get a blank screen in email and it apears to be locked. What can I do?

It's not a virus.
Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

Build Application with all files inside .exe

Hello,
I have a labview project consisting of a few classes and subvi's. Nothing really special. Now when i try to build an .exe file, i get the .exe, an application.ini, an Application.aliases and an data folder (has the classes and dll's within). What i want however is the .exe file with all files inside. So that at the test setup, there is only one file on de dekstop, and not 4. Is it possible to do that?
Greetings wcm

LabVIEW 2009 and later have a build option (set on per default) that embeds all the classes inside the executable file.
The ini file will always be created, however you can delete it during startup of your executable.
I think you don't need the data folder since that has some DLL already present on your system.
However my advise is to create an installer that puts the executable (and the other files) inside the program files folder. And the installer can create a shortcut to the executable.

Get new Mail - workaround

My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed

My Windows part of the drive got all of the files deleted and got renamed to Time Machine Backups. This all happened when i woke up and i tried to do to the windows part of the drive and it was not there. So I went to the mac part and i saw it was renamed to Time Machine Backups. So then I clicked to see if any thing was in the part. Nothing. I tried to go to boot camp assistant it said -The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.-So Then I went to disk utility to erase it but it did nothing. PLEASE HELP ME

1. Time machine probably has the disk locked. Go into time machine preferences and turn it off.
2. open DU (disk utility), see if you can dismount the boot camp partition. If not, log out, log back in and try again with DU. Once it will mount and dismount go to step 3.
3. In DU select the boot camp volume, select erase, select msdos file system (format), select name for partition, select erase.
4. Close DU, Open preferences > system > startup disk.
5. Highlight the msdos partition, close preferences (this blesses the msdos partition and sets it to boot).
6. Place your windows cd/dvd in the tray, close tray and reboot.
7. Install windows.
8. After complete installation, select run, type in "cmd" (in windows).
9. A windows terminal will open, at the prompt type:
convert c: /fs:ntfs
press enter, it will ask if you want to schedule the conversion at the next startup?.
10. Select yes. Time machine will leave a ntfs drive alone, simply because it cannot write to it.
11. Reboot windows and let it convert the file system. That's it.

I have two apple ID's, one with all my apps and one with only Mavericks. Will Mavericks update automatically if i'm not logged in to the apple ID I used to download it?

I have two apple ID's, one with all my apps and one with only Mavericks. Will Mavericks update automatically if i'm not logged in to the apple ID I used to download it?

Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

Don't switch email providers. Switch to another email client on your Mac. It is not Yahoo. I have 3 Yahoo accounts and never have any problems getting or sending mail from/to those accounts. But I don't use the built in Mac Mail program. I use Thunderbird. I use thunderbird on both Mac OS X and Windows. Been using it for some time now with no problems getting my Yahoo mail, Google gmail mail or form my work email account.
