Scam emails that appear to come from apple?

Recently received an email from 'Apple' as an alert stating my account was accessed from a device that had never been used before and that the device was in Indonesia... Obviously rings alarm bells but the email just doesn't 'look' right to me. I've received these emails before after using my iPhone, iPad, my girlfriends iPhone etc on my Apple ID. This just looks different but I have no email address for anyone in apple that I could forward it to in order to check its validity... Not followed the 'click here' link on the email obviously. Has anyone. Any experience of this?! Thanks.

Have you checked the purchase history on your account : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
If it shows on there then contact iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it doesn't then you can forward the email to Apple at this address : [email protected]

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not. If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID. (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library. It was subsequently synced to your phone.) The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Is the email that appears to be from Adobe and advising of a free upgrade being available a legitimate email from Adobe?

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc since there are no such pop-ups originating from mozilla. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

When will the Pioneer firmware to support Carplay be released? Pioneer is informing customers that the delay comes from Apple.

Carplay was announced back in March/14. Manufacturers like Pioneer have been selling aftermarket systems with the promise that a firmware to support Carplay would be released "in the Summer of 2014". Summer is gone and no firmware. When contacting Pioneer they say everything is ready on their side and they are waiting on Apple.
How long do we have to wait for Apple to get their act together? If you can't keep commitments it's better not to announce anything.

I am sure you saw it came out yesterday. Updated my 4000NEX and now have CarPlay up and running.

Has anyone received an email purporting to come from Apple Worldwide support requesting an update to apple profile details under the "know your customer" legislation? Or is this a scam?

Smells rather "phishy" to me.

My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove?

My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
Can anyone help me?

Setting up iPad Mail so messages appear to come from an email forwarder address

I currently have my iPad set up to send and receive email from my btinternet.com email address and this works fine. I also have an email forwarder directed to the btinternet address and I would like to set up my iPad so that emails appear to come from the forwarder rather than from the btinternet address. I guess I need to set up a separate account but despite trying several times so far, I have been unsuccessful. Can anyone advise?

Yes, with iOS 6 your iPad can use your iPhone phone number to send and receive messages. Your iPad must be using the same Apple ID for iMessage in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive as your iPhone. If it is, and you don't see the number listed, first confirm that your phone number appears on your iPhone in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. If it does, then on your iPad try going to this setting, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.
To have your messages addressed as being sent from your phone number, select your phone number on both devices in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, under "Start new conversations from".

Emails appear to come from someone else

My emails are suddenly appearing to come from a name mentioned in an email sent to me, but one that has not ever in my address book, instead of my own name. Since I volunteer for this person, it is very embarrassing for Her name (misspelled) to show up as the person who sent email from my computer instead of my own name. How do I fix this?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I wish I could be of more help but I can't ask you to enter details in these columns for security reasons. But you say 'someone' has asked you to change your name.
If that is from an Apple address you could write to Apple security (NOT reply to the email address itself) and express your disquiet.
Spotlight may throw up other options ... but if there are only two examples it is unlikely your account has been hacked. Have you talked to your eMail srvice provider?

That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

I lost my email that was linked to my Apple ID and my password from Apple ID it says that it is wrong... What should I do? Hackers?!?

I can't just create a new Apple ID once my first one was the other one......
Please help me

It's unlikely that hackers are the problem, but there's no way of knowing for sure. In the meantime, you've done exactly the right thing: create a new Apple ID (or change the password on your old ID.

Well, if it was going to do anything to your iPad, its too late now, isn't it?
First off, it did not install anything on the iPad. Can't do that from a web site on an iOS device. The only thing you might consider is to clear your browser cache and data: Open Settings app > Safari:
Clear History
Clear Cookies and Data
And if you are really the paranoid type, Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data.

TS2326 iMessages across multiple iPhones / iPods appear to come from the wrong person

We have three different devices using iMessage - 2 iPhones and an iPod Touch. This issue is difficult to explain but from time to time when sending iMessage from one of these devices the sent message appears to come from the wrong sender. For example, my wife will send an iMessage to a friend but it appears the iMessage came from me.
We also use iTunes. All of the phones are signed into iTunes as the same user which is my username.
Could this be the problem and how do I fix it? Do I need each phone to have it's own iTunes account? If so, can I make it so purchases in the iTunes store are only made through my account?

You can continue to share the same iTunes account, but for iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Find My Phone, etc., each needs their own separate Apple ID's. So, whoever's iTunes account it is uses that ID(if a verifiable email addres) for iCloud, etc. The other person creates an Apple ID & uses that for iCloud, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

My husband and I share an iTunes account. I just got a mac, but everything I send by message from the mac appears to come from his phone. How do I correct this?

My husband and I share the itunes account. I just got an iMac. Everytime I send a message from my iMac, it appears to come from my husband's account phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Also, when I open iMessages, all the texts are from his phone (his text conversations).
Thank you so much for your help!
Myrna

Try This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do
