Receiving messages even though I'm not subscribed to any discussion groups
Today I went to my e-mail and found I had received literally 100 messages from a discussion thread from the "iPod" discussion group under digital life despite the fact that I am NOT subscribed to any group and have no subscriptions showing under "My Subscriptions". I also would not have used this, my primary e-mail address, had I known this was possible, but since it is my Apple ID as well, I had no option to use another.
I contacted Apple support but they could not offer any help other than to say I could block all the e-mails coming from Apple. This simply isn't acceptable as I do receive e-mails from Apple from time to time that I do want to receive.
I simply was trying to assist another iPod user who had their Nano stolen with some of my experiences and tips. Had I known I would be in danger of getting bombarded with e-mails for doing so I never would have partcipated in the group.
Making matters worse the representative (Breanna) I called at support was no help and actually repeated several times that this was not her job and that she simply could not help. I thought Apple took great pride in their customer support? I need to be removed from the forum or whatever it takes to stop these e-mails from coming in.
Since I have no control I can only assume that 100 might just be a small portion of what might be coming...
Please stop this for me!!!!

Thanks, but I have checked that and have even gone to "My Subscriptions" and it shows that I have subscribed to nothing. I even tried subscribing and unsubscribing to this particular discussion group to see if that would help and I am not showing anything that says I'm subscribed to any group.
The point is I never chose to subscribe to anything. It takes an overt act, a selection on the icon to subscribe. I never did select, press or otherwise choose to subscribe to anything. I thought I was simply replying to a post that I thought I could help someone with. I was very careful when I was signing up to be able to post to NOT select to receive any e-mails, notices or subscribe to anything. I don't understand how this could happen if I never chose to do so unless there is a problem in the server or in the security of the site. It sure makes you not want to try and help anyone here again...

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.
You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At -
Recieving messages from this topic even though I am not Subscribed !
Even though I am not subscribed to this topic, this is sending me 50 messages a day. How do I get rid of it?
I have already checked my subscription settings.
If anyone from apple is reading this, I need this resolved please.You may be subscribed in the larger category. I'm sure you have checked the "my subscriptions" to the right in this discussion forum. I'm new to this forum and just getting used to it, so I'm not sure if this will help. You would see a "binoculars" avatar next to your subscribed topics. Plus, in the "my subscriptions" page, check the two top choices. You may have "yes" checked for topics that you create AND for topics that you respond to. This will create susbscriptions of which you may not be aware. Again, just some ideas. I"m a "newbie." BF

I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
I'm getting forum emails even though I am not subscribed
I susbscribe to messages that I post or that I have responded to, but suddenly, I'me getting every message that's posted to the Illustrator forum. Make it stop!
Cheryl,
Glad that you got it sorted out. As there are several ways that one can setup (intentionally, or not) e-mail notifications, it's sometimes tough to figure out exactly where, and how, one has to undo it. I've even doine an article in the Premiere forum on how to undo most of the notifications, but there are probably still ways/places that I missed. One poor user seemed to have subscribed to every Adobe forum, based on his descriptions and the sheer volume of the e-mail that he was getting. You are not the first, nor will you be the last.
As I only want notification on but a very few of even my own posts, it's easy for me - so long as I do not hit something by accident.
Good luck,

'printer is offline' message, even though it's not
I'm installing a new HP 4500 to my network at home, currently using my Macbook Air. The software downloaded fine and the setup wizard worked well too, the printer found my network and says that it is connected to it.
when I try to print wirelessly, the window on my laptop says 'printer is offline' and 'printer is not connected' although it clearly is online.
I have no trouble printing through a wire
please help
thanksHello belmoo,
I understand your are having "Printer Offline" errors with your HP 4500 after you have installed onto your Mac Book Air over your wireless connection but the USB cable connection works without problem. If you could please provide me with the printers Model Number as the 4500 has several possible printers connected to that series name and your Operating System running on the Mac.
I would like you to start with looking into this document as it covers all the Windows & Mac Operating Systems: 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print.
Please reply back with the information requested if the problem is not resolved.
Thanks,
JERENDS

Sending emails from my laptop using Thunderbird I get the usual "connecting to...., sending to...,message sent" But recipients do not receive post even though my internet provider's sent folder contains the posts. Cox is my email provider and I can send posts from their WebMail site.
There were no changes in configuration.
I should note that I was using a "free" WiFi in Nicaragua.
Also, I receive emails just fine.
Cox says it's my email client but I don't see how it could be you guys isince Cox had had to receive the posts in order to put them in the sent folder.
Thanks
[email protected]have you tried mail to multiple domains or all say cox.net. I have a feeling your email might have got a bad reputation in deepest darkest Africa.

cannot restore aback up from my computer after a softwared update. i kep getting an error message saying the phoneis disconnected even though it it not.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -

I somehow seem to have changed the Apple id password on my iPad and don't know what it is. When I try to reset it, I'm given the option of having Apple get in touch with me by email. I click on this choice and Apple says the email has been sent - but I never receive it, even though the address is valid. The other option is to answer two questions preceded by entering my birthdate. I know the answers to the questions, but must have entered my birthdate incorrectly when I set up the account. To make a long story short, I can't sign in to iCloud on the iPad and can't figure a way out of this dilemma.
Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

I have an iphone 3GS and suddenly am getting a "storage almost full message" even though I have 1.4 GB of free space. Now I cannot text. How do I trouble shoot this? I recently upgraded to version 6.1.3 if that helps.
When you sync using iTunes on your computer, do you see a lot of "Other" at the bottom of the iTunes Summary Page for your iPhone? If you do, try a "Restore iPhone ...". That should help.
Hopefully that would do it for you. If not, the next (more drastic) step would be to restore again as above, but choose "Restore as New" and then manually sync. Omit any apps that might be suspcious in their space use (primarily Game Center apps). -
I could have my iPod sitting on the table and I'm on Facebook and out of no where iTunes pops up. Even though I'm not syncing my iPod wirelessly. I just have it on the Wifi sync setting.
but when I select a category there are no words on the screen to choose a selection. the boxes to check are there, but no words!
That's usually a problem with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
Vortical's suggestion in the following post is a bit of a sledgehammer approach, but it is usually quite effective on XP and Vista systems:

My phone has been set up previously for itunes on my lap top but my phone now shows the connect to itunes message even though the phone is connected....Ive tried every thing I can think of ...now I cant use my phone ..please help ?
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo. -
USB devices deactivated message, even though none connected
I'm getting the infamous warning message, that One or more USB devices are drawing too much power and the device/s is/are being deactivated, etc. etc.
Even though I have no USB devices connected.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have a 2007 Core 2 Duo 2.16, just updated to 10.6.8.
To see if it was a hardware problem I installed Windows 7 Ultimate as the only operating system and I didn't get any messages re. USB problems.
So I wiped the HD and installed Snow Leopard. Immediately started getting the USB messages, one after the other on screen.
I've also switched off Bluetooth and the iSight, in case that might help re. power being used by USB.
Any way to solve this, without swapping logic boards?
Could I just continue like this, and use no USB devices? If so, can I turn off the warning messages so they don't appear every 20 seconds?
Probable hardware problem? Or software?
Any help greatly appreciated.Suspiciously similar situation here. I have a Macbook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 with Mavericks. I (successfully) installed Windows 7 on Parallels Desktop few days ago and now I am constantly getting this "USB Devices Disabled..." message, even though nothing is plugged into the USB ports. At some point both of my ports were not working but I reset PRAM and SMC and now it is just the right side port that is not working. It does, however, power some devices like external discs. When an external disc is plugged into the right USB port, the "USB Devices Disabled..." message, once closed, does not come up again until the moment the disc is disconnected (not valid for the left port, though).
Any help would be much appreciated.
