On Tuesday this week I received weird emails, all from people I knew,regarding Skype or Facebook etc. .Apparently I sent them too. I changed password..is this sufficient and was it a virus on iPad mini?

On Tuesday I received innocent looking messages from people I knew, regarding Skype requests etc. It didn't let me open, but apparently I was sending too. I changed password. Was it a virus?

Someone could have gotten ahold of your contact list or a friends contact list.  That bad person either sent a mass email to you or sold the list to someone who did.  The could have gotten the list
-- physical access to your computer
-- logging on to your email account from the web
-- a long cc list
You sure it was your contact list not a friends?
You may wish to change your passwords on all email accounts you have and the login passwords on all your computers.

  • I received 2 emails supposingly from Apple requesting that I update my profile.  Could someone confirm this is a scam?  Thanks.

    I received 2 emails supposingly from Apple asking me to update my profile because my account is blocked.
    Evidently, this is a scam.  Did others receive the same request?

    It's absoutely a scam, one which has been reported here a number of times. Do not respond to the email in anyway, just delete it.

  • Received an email supposedly from Apple that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real?

    I received an email supposedly from Apple from "Notice" that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real? There was a link to click labeled AppleID. I didn't click it, but the message said I needed to change my Apple ID immediately.

    What does the email look like - emails from Apple tend to be personalised (not 'dear customer' or 'hello') and the have proper English in them (if you hover your mouse pointer over the link do you see what URK it would take you to ? ; it might show at the bottom of the screen).
    It's likely to be a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]
    Just to be sure check your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store

  • Why is my contact list receiving crazy emails supposedly from my iPad and how can I stop it?

    Why is my contact list receiving crazy emails supposedly from my iPad?

    Yes, I went to settings and turned wifi off.  Thought at first I wasnt letting it set for a sec or two before shutting the iPad off.  so now I wait like a minute or two  before shutting the iPad down.  didnt  seem to help.  Tried  actually logging out of  facebook when I was  done with it,  worked for about  4 days, and now it has started  coming on and coming online again,,  I  went through my notifications and  shut things off,   Well  see if it works.  thank you.

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • I'd like to receive the email adresses from those who subscribe to my blog.

    I'd like to receive the email adresses from those who subscribe to my blog. Is this possible in iWeb?
    Gerrit.

    No, this is not possible through iWeb. The best that you can probably do is to ask subscribers to email you, or maybe you can make a guestbook or something like that that subscribers can sign.
    If you want to have stats for your blog, like how many subscribers, etc.... you should check out FeedBurner. You can get StatCounter-like stats from your feed by converting it to a feedburner feed. As far as I can tell, though, email addresses are not gathered.
    Example: http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog

  • Was there a deal on iPad Mini 3's today?

    I heard BestBuy was offering $100 off the iPad Mini 3 with the release of the '4' on the horizon.

    There may have been something called "The Daily Deal" where they feature those sales. However these kinds of deals are not eligible for price match if one had bought one recently and then saw this sale

  • I'm receiving duplicate emails, one from icloud and one from yahoo

    I'm receiving duplicate emails, one from icoud and one from my yahoo, how do I fix this?

    Have you turned on a forwarding or copying service at yahoo?  The only way to get duplicate emails from two different email services is if one of them forwards and copies to another, or if senders are sending to both email addresses.

  • I received an email supposedly from Best Western that I can't delete - says it's a 159860.emlx file - how do I delete it?

    I received an email supposedly from Best Western that I can't delete - says it's a 159860.emlx file - how do I delete it?

    Do a backup.
    Take notes of all account information or take screen shots. You may need to set the accounts up again. Quit Mail.
    Copy the line below.
    ~/Library/Mail/V2
    Select Go/Go To Folder from the Finder menu bar. Paste the line into the window. You won't see it.
    That should show you the accounts. Select the appropriate inbox and dig around in the folders until you find the e-mail matching the number. Try to delete/move to the trash. If successful, launch Mail and test.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & 10.8 Mountain Lion
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after every update. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
