Someone is spamming from my iPhone. How do I stop this?

Someone must have hacked my iPhone because friends and family say they are receiving spam from me and the messages say they are sent from my iPhone. Any idea how to combat this?

You may have gotten a worm or other form of virus that infected your computer, which could have taken control of any mail account on it. If it did this, it was probably quite sophisticated, and probably kept up what it assumed was your standard signature to keep up appearances, so your phone is probably fine.
You may still want to unlink any mail accounts on your phone just in case, however.

  • I have just had an iPad mini but all my messages are coming through on my iPad and iPhone how can I stop this happening

    I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

    To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
    You might also look at this option for both devices.
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

  • HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
    2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
    If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
    This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
    Then press (two keys) Command + 1
    to return the inbox.
    That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
    If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

    Hello ctb4408,
    With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

  • I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
    Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

  • Recently started receiving ***** enlargement spam to my iphone - how can I stop it ?

    I have recently started to receive copious amounts of spam on this subject - how can I stop it.  I don't have access to the service provider for the particular email address it is coming to

    Is this an IMAP account?  Does it have a default SPAM folder.  At the least you can try transferring them from the inbox to the account's SPAM folder.  Often a providers system does use what it sees in your SPAM folder to train its own spam filters (one of the reasons many providers will tell you not to delete spam immediately, but leave it in the SPAM folder for a week to a month so their screening software can possibly learn from what's in there).

  • My contacts are receiving spam from my email, how can I stop?

    What is the best way to scan for virus on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.8).  Yesterday at 10am I started receiving numerous bounced emails in my inbox from random contacts in my address book-some that are very old and I haven't used for years (hence the bounce-back).  Also had a few friends email me back saying they were getting spam from me.  Shut down my computer and it seemed to stop, however this morning at 10am it started all over again!  Yikes!  I have three mail accounts including yahoo mail which is where some of the contacts came from originally, although I have since added them to my Mac address book. What is my best course of action?  Thanks for your help!!!

    Yahoo email is famous for beiing hacked and has nothing to do with your computer. Most of the time.
    That is not to say it is your Mac that is doing this.
    If you really think it is something on your Mac then turn it off for a day and see if these contacts are still gettig emailsfrom you on that day. If they are and you did not use your computer that day then it is your Yahoo email system that has been hacked.
    Also what you could do right now is log on to your Yahoo email and change the password. If the emails stop then again it is your Yahoo email acount that has been hacked and not your Mac.

  • Bookmarks appear on other iphones, how do I stop this?

    I understand most people are frustrated when their bookmarks disappear - this too happened to us when we upgraded to ios 6, but after a reboot everything went back to normal.
    We have three iPhones on our ATT account, and one iPad (wifi only) in the house.  Now we have weird versions of all our bookmarks on each other's phones, and our iPad has all of our bookmarks from our phones.  It is sort of embarrassing (no, no **** bookmarks, thankfully but my gosh, what if my history goes on my mom's iphone, sheesh!) that now we know what websites we bookmark.
    Basically how do I turn this nonsense off?  Is this some cloud thing?

    Bookmark syncing is done through iTunes as well as iCloud.  See below:
    Bookmarks
    You can sync bookmarks between your computer and your iOS device. When syncing is enabled, all bookmarks will sync. You can sync bookmarks with the following applications:
    Safari (Mac OS X)
    Safari for Windows (Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7)
    Microsoft Internet Explorer
    Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer refers to bookmarks as "Favorites.
    The above comes from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    These are the hazards of sharing an Apple ID.  If you don't like it, use separate Apple IDs (but each Apple ID owner must be over age 18).

  • My husband just bought an ipad and now when we message each other we get the same message to our iphones, how do we stop this?

    When I send a message to the ipad, from my iphone, I get the same message to my phone from my own number.  He also gets one to his iphone when he sends me a message from his ipad.  I know this has something to do with the apple id; we do use the same one.  Is there a way to turn off the multiple messages? We don't want to get separate apple ids because the guy at the apple store told us we wouldn't be able to share the music we have....meaning music on my id wouldn't show up with the music on his id in our itunes.  So we switched to using one account.  Is there a way to fix this problem without having to create a separate apple id?

    Apple ID cannot be merged or transfered.

  • "Get Pictures from Apple iPhone" - How do I shut this off?

    When I plug my iPhone in with a USB from my computer my pictures pop up. How can I have that NOT show up? The first time a message showed up asking prompting me if I wanted the photos to appear and I hit "don't show message again", but now I would not like my photos to pop up.
    Any ideas?
    Thnx
