Someone has been sending SMS's from my account....
Received an e mail from Skype suspending my account...after I confirmed identity and was reinstated with a new password, I saw that hundreds of SMS's had been sent from my account. How can I report this and find out who it was-- They even managed to change my auto recharge account....Is my account safe now?
Go to iTunes on your computer, look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the app there to be downloaded. If not, check the Purchases area of the iTunes Store, or the App Store on your iPad, and you may be able to download the missing item there:

If you can't find or can't download it there, go here:

to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

Someone has been sending random messages. ?!?
Hi there,
I'm a newbie. The reason why I joined Skype Community is because I suspect someone has been sending me fraudulent voice recordings of something to do with security.
The sender's account name is "id.5514" (without quotation marks, of course).
In the voice recording there is a male talking about something about security isn't enabled or active on my computer. It says in the recording to go to http://www.mssls.com immediately to enable security protection. (Do not try this link unless you are part of the security team as I do not know the level of authenticity this website has.)
Anyways, if you go to this website, there is nothing but a blank white page.
Could someone please verify if this is a virus, or anything else that is potentially harmful to my computer, my Skype account, or my personal details?
Thanks,
ianextremeyup, it's a scam promoting a possibly fake antivirus/security software. There is truly no way to someone or something to know that there are threats in your computer remotely (or at least without using certain software/apps and with your knowledge/permission).
if you haven't downloaded any stuff from that site, I think there should be nothing to worry about. But a full antivirus scan using a fully updated antivirus software is recommended as a safety net.
Finally, block the user and send a report to [email protected]

i recieved the same email with the same game and it also stated the purchase was from canada i have revieved a few other as well and am concerned i have changed my password a few times now but i still revcieve emails and am very worried. i recieved the email near the date this question had been put up
however i do not know how they are downloading apps as my credit card details need verification when i download anything , any help would be much appreciated. -
I have opened my account on my credit card and there has been 3 payments go from my account. 17.49 and then day before 5.49 and 4 days before 4.99. Really annoyed that apple can let this happen and letting app makers con people by doing this.
Don't know how this has happened, would like a refund what is the procedure.You haven't bought any items, including in-app purchases within apps and/or auto-renewing subscriptions ? You can view the purchase history on your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2727
If you haven't made any purchases, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and may have made them, then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : 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 -
i have just dowloaded the icloud control panel on my PC and i am am able to see everything that has been pushed to icloud from my ipad. However i cannot see my email. i can send from the computer using icloud, but i do not see any mail that is being received by my ipad, which is set up with my mail server. What haven't i checked lol?
turn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

Hello, I am running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Someone has been pestering me with unwanted e-mail. There used to be a feature that allowed one to "bounce" unwanted mail back to the sender, a message saying they have reached a wrong address. How do I do that now? TYIA
It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address. -
Is there any way to find a log of the send e-mail from ICloud.. to analyse how many email has been send and deleted within a day from send items
Thx Winston,
I can count the send item. But let me try to explain why did I ask this question.
I had a trouble in sending e-mails from icloud on 22/2 and when I saw in my send item there were no emails.
But the mesgs to whom I emailed received and out of which only few of them didn't got the email. So I wanted to know the log abt the outflow of the mesg with subject and the receipants email id and the list with attachment or not.
How and where will I get the information apart from send item and draft mesg and the outflow undelivered?
Regards

How do i send sms messages from my mac to a phone
the gurl from apple said i could send sms messages from my imac to a phone. How do i di that?
Hi Lanny,
Actually those two pics don't tell you what you need to know.
The First is correct as it can be from the Messages app but the second goes to no way to tell you how to do and b fact does not even mention SMS messages.
@ 10411
You will need to have an AIM or AIM Valid name that you can add to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts at the + icon below the list.
Next the Mac need to be in the United States.
Go to System Preferences > Language and Text and set the Region to the Untied States.
(In iChat this added SMS items to some of the Menus in iChat)
The iPhone has to be on a Carrier that is in the United States See list
Which in turn means the phone number is a United States one (+1 country code)
This means you add the Cell/mobile number as if it were a Buddy to an AIM list.
So Creating an Address Card for "SMS Test" and adding the mock number +1234567890 to that I get this in Messages (Mousing over the Name to see the "Screen Name" which is the number in this case)
Basically this is a feature that iChat has always had since AIM included a link to SMS to certain Phones.
Messages does everything iChat did/does and this includes SMS Messaging via an AIM Buddy list even though in this case the Menu items has disappeared.
AS has been said there are also other methods.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If that is true, then you need to promptly secure your account by resetting the Apple ID's password;

Hi I would like to know how I can view a video that has been send to me via email. When I tap on the video icon it only gives me option to send as a mail or to open in drop box which I don't want to open in.
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are doing this from your phone (as you mention) then you can use the new iPhoto Photo Journal feature to do this.
Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. -
How to download an app *not* from icloud that has been downloaded before with a different account?
Greetings,
If an app has been downloaded before even with an account other than the one I am signed in with, it shows the cloud icon and asks me for the password of the other account.
How do I download it with the account I am currently logged in with?
Thanks"I'm using the one on the computer, not the device."
Well I said this is happening on an iPad. Reread what is happening from the beginning of the thread, and tell me if the instructions are correct for the iPad. Are you prompted for passwords from a different account that previously downloaded the app on the iPad?
Again
The app is Google Search.
It is free.
(I am always promoted for passwords for both free and paid apps.)
The device is an iPad. That is why I posted this is the iPad discussion.
I am logged in with my account, let's call it A. It shows account A next to Apple ID in the lower left of the Featured page.
When I search for Google Search, and click the cloud download icon next next to the Google Search app, it prompts me for the password to a different account. Let's call it B.
In the app store it shows a cloud download icon next to every app that has ever been downloaded on this iPad, regardless of whether it is account A, B, C, etc
Have you tried logging in with a different account to test this? -
How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is “unable to find the original file?” I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.
Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200. -
What has been your experience upgrading from Mac OS X 10.6.8 ti 10.7 or 10.8?
my story was indeed a horror story
Mavericks is not an upgrade of previous OSes, but rather a port of iOS
If you want your computer to function like an iPad, go for it.
Snow Leopard on the other hand is a full-featured and stable OS - the best of them in my opinion.
Mavericks makes it easier to port Pages and Numbers documents back and forth between your computer and your iPad - but this portability comes at the price of many, many lost features in both programs. Over 100 lost features in Pages. Don't know how many for Numbers, but because of lost functionality you risk losing data (if you used Footers and Headers, Page View, etc.).
It is possible to use the older version of iWork under Mavericks, but it is a real pain as Mavericks keeps trying to default you to the newer versions. Even accidentally opening with the newer version and not saving changes can cause the file identifier to be altered making it no longer open under the older version (I did find a way to force open) Deleting the newer versions from your system results in Mavericks nagging you on a daily basis to reinstall them. There is no option to say No, only the option to postpone for one day.
the OS itself is much less customizable, I found it much harder to use with older eyesight because I couldn't highlight my scroll bars, or change the colour of certain files in a list, etc. Anywhere I went to Preferences I was struck by how few of them there were - less than half as many as Snow Leopard, in some cases less than 25%. Again, I had used those missing Preferences.
Mavericks also takes away many of the abilities of iTunes to sync with your iPad or iPhone and forces you to use iCloud to do much of the synching. If you don't want to use iCloud, or if you have confidentiality issues that prevent you from using it - you are out of luck.
In the end I found Mavericks unusable. The process of reverting back to Snow Leopard required 5 hours with 2 different geniuses at the Apple Store, 2 deep wipes of my computer and fresh install of Snow Leopard. And some loss of settings and data.
If you choose to go for it, then make a bootable backup first. Some sources suggest making 2 backups.
There are people who are happy with Mavericks, but I am not one of them.
Since I had my misadventure they have made some improvements to Mavericks, but not nearly enough of them to tempt me back. For example, you cannot set your old Pages and Numbers documents to 'always open' with the older version of the software ... or rather you can set them to, but Mavericks will immediately revert it back to the new version. -

ok so lately someone has been trying to phish my computer but i cant really do anything about it. I cant use Youtube and it sometimes doesnt let me go on any social networking sites. Is it possible for me to report these people to the police for tampering with my computer? And how can i make sure they stop
HellO:
Is it possible for me to report these people to the police for tampering with my computer
As far as I know, phishing is not a criminal act. If you fall for it, you might be considered less than the brightest bulb in the lamp.
Phishing is a common problem for most of us. In my case, I report it to the web site involved ( a bank, for example) for their follow up.
