New email login page scam advert - Beware.
On 23rd December my other half saw an advert on the new email login page for a 14 day trial of something called RVTL Anti Aging cream, all you had to pay was the postage (£2.99). This is basically a scam as the 14 day clock starts as soon as you click and there is a nasty £95 surprise taken from your credit card 14 days later unless you cancel before. The £95 is not mentioned anywhere you can see it when you place the order.
In our case with Christmas and New Year holidays the product did not even arrive until day 15 so there was no chance to cancel before the deadline. We called their service desk and was told bluntly that the 14 days had expired and they had taken the money. The bank also informed us they could not stop the transaction, although any future ones will be refused.
The company names concerned seem to be Sheridan Labs and JEM Marketing of Cranleigh in Surrey and Equinox Beauties operating from a PO box in Linlithgow. I did a quick search yesterday when we realised what was going on and it seems to be a well known problem. My Norton anti-virus even flags some of their RVTL web pages as unsafe.
I am very surprised and shocked that BT would allow such scammers to operate from the BT mail website and have asked BT for an explanation.
Their T&C below are from the RVTLSKIN company website about the trial offer.

Every time I login to my email account I have to re-enter my username and password. I always tick the "remember me" box but it never remembers. Am I missing something?
I'm guessing you have a free-to-anyone Webmail-only FSMail.net email addy. THe Webmail does not remember the username and password for those, while it does for all the other Orange email domains.

Browser Hijack? New tab to hijacked Yahoo/AT&T email login opens when booting Mozilla
When I boot Mozilla two tabs open rather than one. The second tab is to a hijacked email login page asking for my Yahoo/AT&T email password. This second tab appears every time I boot Mozilla and links to the webpage below. I run Windows XP and have the McAfee suite of security programs that comes with AT&T DSL and have changed my password after it was hacked, but I want to stop the second hijacked tab from appearing, for fear I may mistakenly login there again and disclose my new email password.

I downloaded the latest update on my MacBook Pro last week. Now I keep getting a pop-up that iCloud wants my password from an email login I haven't had in a year. I can't find where to delete that email login. iCloud is also showing my new email login, plus a bogus one I accidentally created trying to fix this problem. Now the calendar on my MacBook Pro won't sync with my iPhone5.
It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

Earlier, I changed my Apple account details to reflect my new email address. I also changed the password. iCloud seems not to 'know' this. It's service is disabled until I login in. But the default email address shown on the login page is the old email address. I can find no way of telling I cloud that I have new account details.
To change the account, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your revised credentials. If they aren't accepted, recreate the old ID at https://appleid.apple.com/ and changing the primary email address back to the old one (no need to verify the email account). Then sign out of the old ID on your Mac, providing your current password if prompted. Once you have signed out, change your ID back again, then go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in with your updated credentials.

Hi
I'm totally new to using jsp and as part of a project I need to create a login page which compares the
entered email and password with those contained in a database.
I've created the java code and jsp pages, there's no obvious errors (to me anyway) but everytime I try to run it I get the same error.
The code for the login page is:
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>

<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
<br>
new customer? To sign up <a href="new%20customer.jsp">Click here</a>
</body>
</html>The validation page code is:

if (idHandler.authenticate(emailAddress, passWord)) {
response.sendRedirect("index.jsp");
} else {
response.sendRedirect("login.jsp");
%>

</head>
</html>and the java code is:

} else {
return false;
}finally {
// close the connection so it can be returned to

connection.close();
}finally the error message I get is:

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.26 logs.
help?login.java:56 is:
connection.close();right? So, it looks like the call to getJdbcConnectionPool within authenticate throws an exception and control is passed to the finally block where connection is still null, resulting in the NPE. You should probably catch any exceptions thrown by the lookup for your datasource so you can see what the "real' error is. -
Issue with adding a new value to the Default Login Page
Hopefully this is an easy one guys, I've added a select list item to the standard login page (P101) to allow the user to select a DOMAIN as well as entering their username and password.
When the next page is displayed and I try to retrieve the value held in the new field it has been cleared, but the values entered into items
P101_USERNAME and P101_PASSWORD are still present.
I can't figure out why the values held in items P101_USERNAME and P101_PASSWORD are still present but P101_DOMAIN has been cleared.
I've tried creating a value on page zero and writing the domain value to it using pl/sql and javascript but as soon as the next page is requested the value is cleared.
Any Ideas how to get around this????
Thanks in advanceI suppose your login page contains a process like this:
BEGIN
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login (p_uname => v ('P101_USERNAME'),
p_password => :p101_password,
p_session_id => v ('APP_SESSION'),
p_flow_page => :app_id || ':1'
:t_random_number := :p101_random_number; /* this is something I added to my code */
END;Now, if you go to this page:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1
please note the random number assigned to you. Once you login, the same number will appear on the page 1 (near to the top).
So, that is how you could solve your problem.
:t_random_numberis an application item.

Have changed my apple Id to a new email address. its all working fine on my PC and also on come up with the new ID on my icloud page on my iphone but when i try to buy something from itunes etc on my phone, the log in box still contains the old id.
how do i change this?The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another. -
My Icloud is tuck on my old email adress. i can not retreive the password becaue when i request the email it doent get sent to thi adress. how can i change it sothat my icloud is on my new email. i cant login or out of icloud now.
To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am assuming the plugin that the Firefox message is referring to is for attaching a file to the email. I say this because at the bottom of a new email it has a link that says "Attach files more easily" which, when you click it, takes you to a setup process where you download an att updater. I ran that and it did seem to change anything. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make Firefox handle this page without having to restart in 32-bit mode every time.
That means that you need to run Firefox in 32 bit mode if you want to use that plugin.
# Close Firefox
# Open the Applications folder in Finder
# Right click or control-click the Firefox.app icon
# Select "Get Info"
# Select "Open in 32-bit mode"
# Close the "Firefox Info" window
# Restart Firefox -
My home page shows "5" new emails but when I go to my mail account there are no new letters. How do I get rid of the "5" on my home screen. My computer and other email accounts show no new ones. Help.

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.
I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook? -
Are You getting Into Email & New Email Page?
I see many questions about email,from deleting email to other problems with email,but i don't see some even mentioning the sign-in email problem unless you use one of the old sign-in pages, such as:http://webmail.verizon.net/signin/ .
We are still unable to sign into our email using the new sign-in page or the Check Email directly under that sign in. We are still getting,since last week, the old email page. If anyone out there is able to sign in with the new sign ins and is using IE8, please let us know and also tell us your approximate location. We are in Baltimore County, Md. and the only way we get in using one of the new sign -ins is with the Firefox broswer. But even then we are getting the old email page, not the one that was so heralded several months ago.

Login page keeps going to "Create new user account" on login
For about 3 weeks, whenever I log in, the next page I get is nearly always the "Create new user account" page. This happens regardless of whether I wait to let AutoFill enter my user name and password or whether I fill in the correct info myself.
When I click the back button on my browser and finally arrive at the page with the forums list, I'm always registered as logged in. But sometimes I just end up back on the login page with a blank entry box.
How do I get to the forums page without having to get out of the "new user account" page first? (While this isn't a huge problem, it's time-wasting and kind of annoying, and it didn't used to happen.)Hi Turtlewiz!
Have you tried deleting your browser cache & cookies?
