Phishing attempt via email.

I've just received an email from ''[email protected]'' telling me that my iCloud has been frozen and to click on a link on the email. The email has no Apple or iCloud branding included which made me very suspicious. Also I've just checked my icloud account which is not frozen. Just wanted to send a note out to warn other icloud account holders. I would also like to send the email onward to iCloud but cannot find a contact/ support email address... If anyone has contact details would gratefully receive them.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

I believe I've encountered a phishing attempt via FireFox sync

I was using firefox 3.6.12, and noted a small pop-up box advising me that FireFox sync had encountered a password problem. It wanted me to re-enter the password in the popup box. Since I'm new to Firefox sync (I'm an x-marks refugee), I'm a little leery.
It did manage to make the 'sync' logo in the lower right of the window show a problem.
I closed the box, and opened the Sync area under the 'tools' tab. I forced a re-sync, checked my password, and everything was ok.
I provided no info to the pop-up box.

Ok.. I figured it out.. Somehow the old Firefox sync addon also got added to the addons.. Was clashing with the built in one.. :P

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Just received a Phishing attempt for Quicktime 2009 How do I report?

I just received a obvious Phishing attempt email just hovering over the link has nothing to do with apple. And to beat it all I use a Mac and its for the windows version.
I'd like to send the email to an abuse or spoof@ address to apple. I hate stuff like this.

If this email came via a MobileMe account, you can report it to [email protected] You can also try [email protected], though I don't know if that is still a valid email address (reports are that it was at one time, but I haven't sent any message there myself).

E-mail is marked as phishing attempt

Hi.
We have an issue that some e-mails from our internal system that are sent through Rackspace Exchange are marked in Outlook 2007 as phishing attempts. Could you please advice me why? The header from one of such "phishing" e-mails is:

Contacting skype via email regarding payment issue

I would like someone to contact me via email regarding the following issue:
I received a notification my account with Skype has been canceled. I surmise that for some reason or another Citibank has not been sending payment via electronic payment per my contract with SKYPE.
I have contacted Citibank just now via email, sending then the following message.
(please email me back with your contact phone numbers so I can resolve this unfortunate incident or issue which I have first heard about an hour ago via an email to me from SKYPE)
Received this from your accounting operations.
Something wrong here as the payments are suppose to be make automatically when they g3et near the ten dollar mark.
I have not been following payment as it has been done automatically-and this is the first notification.
How can this be? This amount shown is very strange and very incredulous to be this high unless Citibank Guam Visa has been not paying the amounts when charged by SKYPE.
Obviously if this is true, for about the past five or so months by my estimate this has been happening.
What is perplexing is that the credit card is still good and ca not understand how it was’t paid.
Could you send me the past 2012 payments so I can see what has been going on?
I will send this on to Citibank as an inquiry.
Anyway, I do not want to cancel my SKYPE account.
Thank you.

Hi there Alan Sokoloff,
Problem with your payment
Unfortunately, your payment failed, but don’t worry, we didn’t deduct any money from your card.
Here are your order details:
Skype Name: alan.sokoloff4
Total amount: $71.28
Transaction date: Jan 28, 2013
Order number: [removed for privacy]
Order status: Refused
Why was my payment refused?
Reasons for your card payment failing can be:1. You entered the wrong details. Make sure you have the correct details and try again. You didn't have enough money on your card. Make sure you have enough money before you try again. You might be using an anonymous proxy or proxy server to access the internet, which we don't allow during the purchase process. Skype is always doing its best to protect you from any kind of fraud. Sometimes this can cause perfectly legitimate purchases to be refused.
What can I do?
We recommend using another card or one of our other payment methods such as Skrill, one-off bank transfer or retail vouchers. View the different ways to pay for Skype products.
Talk soon,
The people at Skype

Keeping PDF form format when sending via email

Hello, I have created a form using Adobe LiveCycle. It contains a submit button to send the filled out form to a recipient via email. After numerous draft attempts the form gets converted into an .XML format when it is attached to a new email message. I want the form to stay as a PDF but LiveCycle indicates the form would need to be sent to an HTTP address. I don't have such an address.
Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
(I know that you can click File--attach to Email to but I would like to avoid that method). Thank you.

Q: Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
A #1: Yes, you can use the standard button, set the format to "PDF" and supply the mailto:[email protected] and it will use the client side email software to attach and send the PDF. Note: You will need to enable usage rights on the PDF to allow Adobe Reader users to submit whole PDF format. Normally Adobe Reader users are only allowed to submit the data formats, XML and XDP for LiveCycle forms, and HTML, XFDF and FDF for Acroforms.
A #2: You can also bypass client-side email software such as OUTLOOK, if you set the submit button action to a URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.Net. The script could generate an SMTP message, and attach the submission without the use of client-side email software. By using a server-side script, the PDF submission process is almost fool proof.

Z10 can't open pics via email

Hoping someone can shed some light on this challenge. I can receive photo files via email sent from apple/bb devices to my Z10 but they arrive as "unknown" and are not recognized when I attempt to open. The same images sent through text open without a problem. I contacted my service provider "Rogers" in Canada and their tech support could only offer to send me to an escalation division who's services were on a pay for use basis. Pretty insulting really given the phone was less then 24 hours old. Thanks in advance. Regards R

Guys same here. All iphone pictures and forwarded PDF can't open. But the pictures will! Just droll down to the bottom of the email and you will see the pictures there. The pdf unfortunately are not able to open. BlackBerry please fix this! But it's only if it is sent through the apple devices.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Can't share via email from Preview Share button

I'm running Yosemite. I have Outlook for Mac (newest version, 15.6) set up as my default mail application. In the Share button menu, the Email option appears properly. However, when I attempt to share a document via email within Preview using the Share button, I merely get an error alert tone. All other Share options (Messages, etc.) work fine. I am able to Share via Email from other apps without a problem. The problem seems to lie within Preview. I've tried resetting Preview to the best of my knowledge by deleting the plist, etc. Any other ideas?

Thanks. Yes, I've done so. The Outlook icon does appear in the Share menu, but when I click on it, I only get the alert tone.

Pages document will not share via email

After completing a document in Pages and then want to email it, I click Share via email and then Word. Nothing happens. Not even an error message.
Any ideas about why?

When you attempt to send an IOS Pages v1.7+ (older Pages ’09 format) document via gmail, it arrives with the file extension .pages, and if Pages v5 is installed, the attached document acquires the new icon style.
Within Apple Mail, you can hover over the horizontal line and with selection of the paperclip icon, you can open the .pages attachment with Quick Look. Again, if you have Pages v5 installed, the Open with Pages button in Quick Look will use that as a default version with the following cautionary dialog. If you press and hold on that Quick Look Open button, it will appear as the Finder's open with menu and you can choose to open in Pages v4.3.
When you originate the .pages document from IOS Pages v2+ (new format compatible with Pages v5 on OS X), and choose to send it via Gmail (or iCloud), it will arrive as filename.pages.zip. This is a compressed file format that Pages v5 cannot access without first uncompressing it.
If you revisit the original second paragraph above, Quick Look will show you a large compressed icon dialog. However, there is an uncompress button in the upper right that will open a new Finder window with the original .pages and .zip files within it. You can then select the .pages document and click Open with Pages. By default, this document will open in Pages v5 if installed, or fail in Pages v4.3 with the following warning dialog because of a document format mismatch. Anything Pages v5 opens is poisoned for subsequent Pages ’09 v4.3 access, unless first exported as Pages ’09 from within Pages v5.
And intuitively, it is pointless to send a .pages document via email to anyone without the proper version of Pages installed.

Phishing attempts to steal Verizon users' e-mail passwords

For the 2nd time in a week an e-mail got past Verizon's filters and into my Inbox. Both were phishing attempts.
The first time I called Verizon because I didn't know of an e-mail address to send it to and the person at the other end didn't sound very interested but indicated that Verizon knew about it.
Here's the text (I'll leave out the link, which begins with econtact dot verizon dot com:
Dear Verizon Internet Customer,
At Verizon, we continue our efforts to enhance your online experience as well as ensure ongoing security for our Internet customers. As a result, Verizon Online has modified the way email is handled when sent or received through an email application other than MyVerizon.
If you only use MyVerizon to access your email account, no action is required and you may disregard this email.  If you do, however, use other applications to access your Verizon email, such as Outlook Express®, you will need to modify your email settings to take advantage of enhanced security we now offer.
In order to make these modifications, please visit ...://verizon.com/emailsettings for information about the  email settings you need to update.  Additional information may also be available by going to our online forum at ...://forums.verizon.com/.
Thanks for being a valued Verizon Online customer and we encourage you to act now to ensure your email account has the proper settings on a going-forward basis.
Sincerely,
Verizon Online

It you are not sure if something is a phishing email or not, NEVER click on the link to go into your settings.
Just log into your account manually without clicking clicks, and udpate your settings to be safe. That way you know you are not going to a phishing site.
