My online number is being used for scams

Hi all,
I´ve received a call today from a person who´s been called to be told that she should pay 95EUR for some bank papers in Italy. I´ve never had this type of activities. So my number showed up on their phone and they called me back to ask what this was all about.
I have shared this number only with my customer, so I wonder how this can happen.
Would you please check with the provider?
Thanks!
D.

it might mean that someone hacked in to your phone got your phone number and is using it for FaceTime. { Or you accidentally did it}

I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

Hi If you have another Apple device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

Why did this pop up today?
Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
" Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. " ( my iPhone is not new. )
" If you recently signed into "xxxxx iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button. Well it's NOT "OK" No option is offered if it is not "OK".
I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever. Just normal use today. In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

The following message popped up on my MacBook Air: Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for ICloud on a new IPhone. What does it mean? Should I worry?

Hi SLCfromMadison,
This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!

TS4268 I recently lost an IPad mini before I could get all the icloud, etc. tracking set up. I recently received a notice that it is being used for facetime/imessage. Does anyone know how I could track the person now using my ipad mini?

I recently lost an IPad mini before I could get all the icloud, etc. tracking setup. I received a notice that it is being used for facetime and imessage - is there a way I can find out who is using my ipad mini?

Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years. All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use. I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

Some of these services may be being used for hacking my Time Capsule?

Hi,
I was scanning services from a connected PC on my network but not directely in my time capsule and I picked these services below:
NetBIOS Session Services
SMB directy over IP
AFP over TCP
Apple Airport WAP Administration
SecureNet Pro Sensor https management server or apple airport admin
My question is: Some of these services may be being used for hacking my Time Capsule?
Attached SIMPLE DESIGN FROM MY HOME NETWORK,

Ok the TC did seem to get the raw end of the deal.. (I am not sure what the other end is.. cooked maybe??)
What model is it.. Gen1 or Gen2 are very prone to issue of overheat and eventual power supply failure.
See internet for loads of info on the issue.
Here is my version.
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
You can open the TC and remove the disk.. if it is still operational you can get your files.. Gen1 Hitachi drives are still going strong.. it is the power supply that goes.
Gen3 is a different issue..
Tell us your model number from the rubber foot label.. A1xxx??
Decide if repair is worthwhile.. with a bit of DIY a repair or replacement to the power supply can be made.
There is no space in the TC for dual drives.
And if the power supply goes anyway there is no recovery apart from pulling it apart.

My iPhone 4s keeps showing more space being used for photos than i have - i have deleted cache folders, unselect and reselect in iTunes and nothing appears to work my iPhone still shows 6.5 gig use of photos when i only have the camera roll listed

my iPhone 4s keeps showing more space being used for photos than i have -
i have deleted cache folders, unselect and reselect in iTunes I read one post
where they said keep syncing and in a couple days it would correct itself, that
hasnt happened. I have see others have the same issue but no solution and nothing
appears to work my iPhone still shows 6.5 gig use of photos when i only have the camera roll listed

i thought the photo stream only holds 1000 i usuaaly take each month and save them to iphoto but if thats the my ipad should say the same amount and it doesnt - it shows 2.5 gig which is correct for iphoto. and i havent ever had that much but if for some reason icloud has that much saved how do i delete and again if it does why doesnt ipad show that amount _ HELP!

HT4848 Is it possible to partition an external hard drive that is already being used for Time Machine backups without it being erased?

I'm want to use my current external hard drive, which I use for Time Machine Backup, as a recovery disk for Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. From what I have read, the recovery disk assistant will erase all data on the external drive unless it is partitioned. Can I partition my current backup drive without erasing it, even though it is already being used for Time Machine?

It's very simple to test. Turn off your computer. Have your time machine backup plugged in. Hold option and turn it on, keeping option held. Do you see your time machine drive? If so, select it and press enter. You'll end up in recovery. If it works, there you go. Then just click the apple and restart to get back to your regular desktop. Then you'll know for when you're ready to do the deed.
Edit...
I'm not sure if time machine will think it's an entirely different computer, though, when a hard drive changed, making an actual restore not doable. Either way, you could still reinstall mt lion fresh and then just migrate after, skipping the need for SL.

Fairly new battery not charging after not being used for a while

My computer (Elitebook 2530p) has not been used for a while, perhaps a month or two. The battery used to hold for over 3 hours of light use.
Now, the battery won't charge with the message "0% available (plugged in, not charging)"
I can't find a battery refresh utility in the BIOS, or any way to interact with the battery. Is there something I'm missing? Should the battery just go dead after not being used for a while?
Update: fixed typo

I've run the HP battery check and got the code REOOW. Battery is dead, and I am out of warranty. I can't think of any possible reason why this should have happened.
What does this code (REOOW) mean?

ATV3 - setup without HDMI. One available is being used for cable box.

What is the best way to hook up my new Apple TV3. Just arrived and can't believe I have to wait and figure this out.
I do not have a HDMI slot available. Our TV has one HDMI slot that is being used for our cable.
What are the best options ot look at to get this all to work?
Potential options include
1. Splitting HDMI (if this works and is possible). Best way to do this?
2. Switching my cable over to component (not sure I want to do this).
3. What else?
Many thanks

Switching your cable box to component video (NOT "composite") is an outstanding idea. You will also have to connect audio cables between your STB and TV. As long as the analog hole remains available, you will not notice any loss of quality compared to the HDMI connection. Just configure your cable box to output 1080i or 720p all the time, whatever is appropriate for your TV. In fact, I have a Sony TV that emits loud pops when changing channels while the cable box is hooked up to it via HDMI, but it's nice and silent when using the analog connections.

HT5878 how to check the detail of font being used for reading the file received by an email

I received word file as an attachment with email on my iphone. I want to check the detail on font being used for reading the word file received as attachment in an email.
Thanks

You don't need to copy the cert out of your configuration. OpenSSL has an "s_client" subcommand which can open an SSL connection and verify the cert for you. It even knows how to do STARTTLS. Something like this ought to do it:
openssl s_client -starttls smtp -CAfile /path/to/ca/file -connect your.ironport:25
The /path/to/ca/file is necessary to provide openssl with a cache of root CA certs. You could use -CApath instead of -CAfile if you have a hashed directory of root CA certs instead of a single file containing them all.
You can also point this at your partner's SMTP server as well.

IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request

How to read binary data in JSP. I know, in servlets it can be done and JSP can handle only character data. When i try to open res.getOutputStream(), it is throwing the following exception:"IllegalStateException:output stream is already being used for this request". Is there any workaround in JSP?

Can you save the file to a location in your server ? Even if you are creating a dynamic image, all you get is a byte array which can be stored in your server. If you can do so, you can set the content type and display the content as mentioned above.
