  • Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

    Why did this pop up today?
    Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

    Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
    " Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. "  ( my iPhone is not new. )
    " If you recently signed into "xxxxx  iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
    On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button.  Well it's NOT "OK"  No option is offered if it is not "OK".
    I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever.  Just normal use today.  In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
    I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
    I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

    Hi SLCfromMadison,
    This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

  • I rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone."  I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone.  Is this something to worry about?

    Howdy Libbidydooda,
    There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
    Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
    In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
    Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
    The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
    For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6.8

    I recently re-installed my snowleopard OS 10.6 Since the re-installation a number of applications are now saying that this versions of "iPhoto" requires mac os 10.7.5 and i am running 10.6. Prior to my re-install of 10.6 i confirmed that i was using 10.6.8. Since i have never run 10.7 on this computer i am baffled as to why these applications are now demanding is after a re-install.
    any advice would be appreciated.

    Using my Grey Install CD i ran the optional install of just the application package, however the applications still respond in the same way. "You can't use this version of the application _______ with this version of Mac OS X"
    What is still baffaling me here is that i haven't ever upgraded these apps in the app store above Mac OS X 10.6.8. My reinstallation of the operating system was done via the original Snow Leapard Install CD. Prior to the reinstallation i was running 10.6.8 with all applications working.
    My issue here is this computer is within an education computer lab so simply going out and buying Lion may not be an option.
    Additional information that may shed light:
    Identical computer running within the same computer lab is using successfully:
         Mac OS X
         10.6.8
         Iphoto '11
         Version 9.2.3
    Reason for operating system Re-installation:
    -CrashReporter showed that the Dock continually crashed eating up a large % of CPU making the computer virtually unusable.

  • Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

    If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
    If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

  • I recently updated Firefox and something called Fantistic Games has taken over my homepage and I can't get rid of it.

    I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

    This is embarrassing. It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

  • External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either recording or on voice calls

    My laptop model name is HP Pavilion dv4-1100ea which is shipped with Vista Home premium 32 bits and has got service pack 1.
    Restored the laptop to factory setting since then I am having the following problems; I had the same problem when my laptop was brand new and whenever I reset the laptop to factory setting I get the following problems:
    1. External and internal mikes are not automatically switching over either in middle of the recording using sound recorder or while the call in progress on voice calls (skype):
       Using the sound recorder if I start recording the sound with external  mike  and in-between  recording if I  switchover from external mike to inbuilt mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound  up till where I used the external mike during recording, after the switchover to inbuilt mike I cant hear any sound.
       But if I start the recording with inbuilt mike and in between recording  if I plug in  the external mike and later on when I play back I can only hear the sound up till where I used the inbuilt mike during recording , after the switchover to external mike I cant hear any sound.
       So in brief both my external and internal mikes are working fine, only problem is that if I start recording (using sound recorder) or voice call with one specific mike, I have to continue with it till the end. I can’t switchover to another mike in between the conversation (voice call) or recording, if I do so, I have to select the mike manually in chat software but while recording I cant even select manually because in laptop, it takes the mike whichever is in current use as default mike in recording tab(sound window). The green tick automatically (in recording device tab) switches over according to the use of mike. Though the green tick in the recording tab is switching over automatically according to use of mikes, its not picking up the sound after switch over during recording.
    2. And also when I click on recording device tab in sound window and plug in external mike, though the green tick automatically switchovers from internal to external mike, while I speak both internal and external mikes volume meter respond to the sound inputs by rising and falling but if I take out external mike, green tick goes to internal mike and when I speak only internal mike volume meter respond to sound rising up and down not the external mike.
    To resolve the issue I have tried following steps with no luck:
    1.I have checked the mikes(internal and external) properties, the both mike shows to be enabled in general tab, in level tab the volume is set to 100 and in advanced tab , all options are selected.
    2. In device manager I have got only one audio driver named as “IDT High definition Audio CODEC”. I have uninstalled the audio driver and reinstalled it using scan for hardware option
    3. Uninstalled the audio driver in device manager and reinstalled the audio driver using recovery manager > advanced option> hardware driver re-installation.
    3. I have updated the BIOS(Insyde F.65, 12/02/2010).
    4. I tried to update the audio driver using below link but things went more worse so I did system restore (not factory setting though).

    Sounds like you need to upgrade to the iPhone 5s
    The 5s has Touch ID
    You can unlock your phone with your finger instead of typing in a key code
    No swiping to unlock either, just touch the home button
    You can enrol multiple fingers as well
    Here is a video of it in action
    http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/videos/#video-touch
    Or wait and see what iPhone 6 has to offer
    That being said, as desiel vdub posted if the phone is up to your face, the proximity sensor should turn the screen off
    And when you lower the phone turn it back on again
    Not sure about the phone locking when your on a call doesn't sound right

  • I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160  when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size   I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt

    I just bought a Dell Precision M3800 laptop - screen res 3840 x 2160  when I open photoshop the task bar and tools and layers etc are in 4pts size   I changed my % in my image in my control panel and if I go to open file the drop down boxes are in good pt sizes  how do I make the layers and tool bars bigger?  Please help@

    Windows will scale applications display or windows will not scale application display depending on how the application is coded.  Photoshop is coded in a way that its display is not scaled by windows.  Photoshop knows about your displays high pixel count not its resolution  so it uses its pixels  however it does not scale its UI to make it usable on your display.  Other application let Windows  scale their display output.   For example Microsoft default for is Surface Pro 3, 216 ppi display is to scale applications display up 150% so the surface pro 3 display which has 2160x1440 pixels a 216 ppi resolution look like at display with the user is using with 1440x960 pixels.  The Application works like the display is 1440x960 and Windows scale those pixels to the displays using the displays  2160x1440 pixels the effectively changing it resolution to 144ppi rather than the actual 216ppi.
    The reg update  and external manifest file  effectively tells photoshop its working on such a size display display some number of pixel wide and some number photoshop uses that as the display size  in turn Windows scale those pixels to use the displays 2160x1440 pixels efector lowing its 216ppi resolution.  Photoshop CC 2014 2X UI would be like using windows 200% option applications would be shown the are working on a display 1080x720 instead of the Surface Pro 3 2160x1440. Note that 1080x720 does not meet PS requirement of 1024x768.  Photoshop UI would not fit on the Surface Pro 3 display..
    Since you have a 4k display if you have CC 2014 you can use its 2x UI effectively Photoshop will be running on a 1920x1080 display and have half the resolution of you 4K display  3840x2160 pixels four native pixels are use as a single pixel.   1920x1080 pixels exceed PS requirement.

  • I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I have just gone from PCM to MacBook Pro retina and would like to now go to imac. Is it worth waiting for retina on imac and when will it arrive

    I'm not Klaus but can give an opinion on this part:
    As a Mac man yourself do you think that the retina display is worth waiting for? 
    I'm 65, have used Macs since 1989, and struggle with displays, cataracts, and bifocals. What I've seen of the Retinas in stores is that text size gets sacrificed for image quality. There are quite a few complaints about Retina in the MacBook Pro forums about not being able to increase the size of menu text without it getting fuzzy.
    My iMac 27-inch is about a year old and I can set the display res from its default of 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 and everything is sharp. I understand that handy trick will not work for either the older hi-res macbook pros or the Retinas, so I don't expect it for any other Macs.
    Speculation on Apple policy and new product releases is actiually not allowed by the Terms of Use around here so I doubt you'll get an answer to the "when" part. Anyone who does answer "when" is either guessing it up or violating a non-disclosure agreement!   Apple plays its cards close to its vest and we average users only know "when" when Apple posts the announcement.
