SPAM re Apple account locked

Over the last month I seem to be getting spam re Apple account locked. Asking me to enter Apple ID etc. Anyone else getting this email?

There are fairly regular posts on here about similar emails (I've had them occasionally as well). If you still have them then you could forward them to Apple: [email protected]

Locked out of Apple account, Locked out of Apple account

After trying to make a purchase with my Apple ID I was prompted to answer two questions I have no idea the answer too after answering wrong I no longer had any attempts and now am unable to purchase or contact apple in any way to resolve the problem even after talking to an illiterate computer at 23p a minute via an 0844 number due to the page to be "called within minuets" not accepting 3 different phone numbers land line and mobile! Every web page I get too requires me to enter my password again and again I feel let down by apple so much right now.

You may have tried some of this...read all of it before responding... it sounds like you may have tried all of this, but if contacting Apple doesn't work, try an Apple store.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

HT201328 I purchased an iphone off ebay but because of the ios activation lock it won't alloe me to put in my own apple id it tells me to enter the previous owners apple account is there anything i can do?

I purchased an iPhone off eBay and the phone isn't stolen or anything but it has the activation lock on it where it says "this phone is linked to an apple account (****@****.edu) I tried contacting the seller and they thought restoring the phone would remove that but its hasn't any idea what I can do or am I screwed and I need to get my money back

The iOS activation lock is a new feature that will be introduced in iOS 7, and is currently only something that can be used as part of the iOS 7 beta. The activation lock is exactly what the name suggests, it's a lock to prevent activation. This is done so that if the device is stolen, it can't be used. There is no work around you can do on your end, the only way it can be done is for the original owner to remove this device from his "find my iPhone" settings, which he can only do by giving you his appleID login details.
As activation lock is part of iOS 7 developer preview beta, you might get more information at the developer forums however it's more than likely you got ripped off

How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password?

How are businesses handling the "APPLE LOCK" on company cell phones when an employee leaves and their phone is unusable because the euipment was set up on the employee's personal Apple Account with their ID and password? When an employee leaves a business and the company has purchased the equipment, the company should have the rights to reissue the equipment and Apple should provide an alternative to unlock the equipment from the employee's personal APPLE account and password so the company (that purchased the equipment) can reissue the line and equipment to another employee.

If you can prove ownership to Apple, they may be able to help you.
The best way of handing things would be strong policies requiring that the equipment be turned in in a usable state. i.e. not activation locked. Failing this, the employee should be charged the cost of the replacement phone. Held from their final paycheck if required.

How Many Times in a Week Will Apple Keep Locking My Account?

Twice a week Apple keeps locking my account and I have to go reset it with my old password or issue a new password. I have done both yet I can't go a week without being told I have to do it again...and again.
How do I end this loop?

Ok, Finally I switched my coding to use DAO and DTO, and I learned it through internet.
I removed all of data access codes from my jsp file(lets say 'functions.jsp'). I then created one interface and two clasess.
here is my DAO interface.
public interface UserFunctionsDAO{
    public List<UserFunctionsDTO> selectUserList();
}here is DTO class
public class UserFunctionsDTO{
    private String category = "";
    private String sub_category = "";
    private int cat_id = 0;
    private int sub_cat_id = 0;
    public UserFunctionsDTO(){}
    public UserFunctionsDTO(String category, String sub_category, int cat_id, int sub_cat_id){
        this.category = category;
        this.sub_category = sub_category;
        this.cat_id = cat_id;
        this.sub_cat_id = sub_cat_id;
    //Setters and getters will go here.
}my concrete data access class is like this.
public class UserFunctionsDataAccess implements UserFunctionsDAO{
    MyDB dbObject = null;
   private static final String SQL_GET_DISTINCT_CAT= "SELECT DISTINCT cat FROM cat_table";
   public List<UserFunctionsDTO> selectUserList(){
       dbObject = new MyDB();
       dbObject.sqlSelect(SQL_GET_DISTINCT_CAT);
       ResultSet rs = dbObject.getResultSet();
       ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
       while(rs.next()){
           list.add(new UserFunctionsDTO(rs.getString('category'), .......................));
       return list;
}I think now im following good coding practices, but I have one problem.
1. How do I retrieve this userlist from my jsp page?
2. Should I include UserFunctionsDTO in my jsp page as a bean?
3. If I include it, how can I get the list from it?
thanks in advance,
Dilan.

Locked? Does it say it has been disabled?
You can log into appleid.apple.com and it might unlock it. If it doesnt, then it might be for security reasons and you need to contact Apple Support to get it unlocked by calling 1-800-MYAPPLE.

Received notice my Apple account had been frozen; spam?

I just received email notice <Apple <[email protected]>> that my Apple account had been frozen. This redirected to: http://quimeralia.com/logmein/checking/processing/d0afeab81ffd81fea9dfa75ee02aee 1c40199c7754da766e6aaf3c61e681cd912061e8d5650ec1452612cc5cc/enter/b9a43f1808741c 2389cba2d5b7f30f42/
which looked like Apple's my acount settings to regain access to my account. When I checked my Apple Account it was OK. What to do?

Cannot Access My Apple Account

I can't access my apple account. I forgot my password and when I clicked the reset my password button, I never received an email with my new password, so I'm basically locked out of my account. I had to create a new one in order to post this discussion

When I try to log into my main Apple account (I'm using a side one to post this) on iTunes, it says my password is incorrect, which I know it isn't, and the password reset email never appears anywhere in my email. Anybody had this problem/have a solution?

My account suddenly started saying that my password for my apple ID is wrong, when I haven't changed it, and I know I've been typing it in correctly. So I tried to reset my password, but it needs my DOB for, and I created this account five years ago, and apparently didn't put in my actual one, so I can't reset my password that way. I got Apple to send me a reset email to the email address of the main Apple account, but the email never arrives in my inbox, or my spam/junk folders. I've tried this multiple times and still nothing. I've had to create a new account just to post this question, which is annoying in itself.
Can anyone help me?

Hello CarenzaRielle,
I know not being able to access your Apple ID can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
