Strange Message about BBM today...anyone else? URGENT!

One of my BBM contacts has forwarded a msg onto me today saying that BBM is shutting down at midnight tonight and if I don't broadcast the msg I will loose my contact.
Goes on to say that there has been an overusage of user names in BBM and that Blackberry are requesting all users to forward this message to their contact list? if i don;t forward it apparently they will take my account as invalid and it will be deleted within next 48hrs?? Not to ignore the message or Blackberry will no longer recognise my BBM pin?
If after that I want to reactivate my account i will have a £25 charge added to monthly bill to reconnect? WTF?
So has anyone else had this msg or know anything about it at all?
My gut feelin is it's probably a scam but want to be sure?

Sounds pretty scammy to me.  
I'd ignore it, delete it and move on.

  • HT1222 Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    Every time I try to install an update for iTunes 11.0.2, I get an error message 103.  Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix this?

    I did it the .dmg way alone and has problems with itunes crashing. This is a better way to ensure that there is not anything left behind to cause issues.
    You need to backup your computer then uninstall I-tunes and reinstall itunes.
    Delete iTunes
    Deleting iTunes is not recommended unless you know what you’re doing.
    Launch Terminal from the UTILITIES within Applications
    Type the following commands:
    cd /Applications/
    This brings you into the Applications directory, the next command deletes iTunes itself:
    sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
    Enter the Administrator password to confirm
    There is no warning or confirmation other than entering the admin password, iTunes will immediately be deleted, effectively uninstalling it from the Mac.
    Deleting the iTunes application will NOT delete the ITUNES or music, and any purchases bought through iTunes will still remain tied to the Apple ID used to originally buy them.
    You can download the newest version from Apple, and running their installer will bring iTunes back to life on your computer.

    I have been researching the exchange message loss  problem on other forums, but not seen a link to browser as yet.  The message loss problem we have here is in a 32bit PB.

  • When I select messages it wont go to main message menu it stays locked and I can't send messages to anyone else. How do I get back to the main message menu? select anyone else

    How can I get to the main message menu? It stays locked on one persons messages and won't let me message anyone else. Can anyone help me?

    You should be able to tap a different conversation you already have open. Try tapping the write new message button, it looks like the square with the pencil icon, right next to the word Messages, if it opens then tap the blue + sign.
    You could also try to delete all you current open windows by tapping the Edit button then check marking all them > delete.
    If you are still having problems first try to close Messages and then double tapping the Home Button to bring up the dock and long press on the messages app in the dock until you see it shaking with the red circle and completely turn it off, then re-open and see if that fixes it. If not you could try to reboot the iPad by holding the home button and the power button at the same time, ignore the "slide to Power Off" message and continue holding both buttons until you see the screen go black and the Apple logo appear.

  • Verizon Highjacked my 500GB DVR -- down to 22 HD hrs from about 60. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I've been on FiOS Triple for over 2 year.  My multi-room DVR is QIP7232.  Verizon just did an update which I was completely unaware would be occurring.  A tech had to come b/c I wasn't able to view recorded shows on a different set top box.  Problem resolved.  However, the next day I just happened to notice that my multi-room DVR was stating my storage was 97% full.   What?!?  Just a week ago it was around 60-70% full and nothing new had been recorded.
    I have a QIP7232 / A386 / 014 / 500 model.  I'm quite certain it has 500GB of storage.  Everything I've read online says that should equate to about 60 HD hours.  I currently only have 21 HD hours recorded (no SD).
    This is ridiculous!  They are constantly bombarding me with advertising to "expand" my DVR storage for additional fee.  They've just highjacked my 500GB DVR, essentially turning it into a 125GB DVR so that I'll pay more for more storage.
    Anyone else experiencing this???

    You might try rebooting the STB.  This can fix a problem with incorrect disk information, which may be your issue.

  • Strange video playback ... anyone else see this?

    I have successfully ripped many DVDs from my collection to my iPod 60G and I am quite pleased. I used handbrake and like its ease of use. However, on a couple of my movie files, during playback on the iPod the file will freeze for like two seconds and then resume on its own, but with no audio. If I scrub backward a couple seconds worth, the audio works fine again. This happens about every four to five minutes during playback and is seriously annoying.
    The movie in question was ripped directly from the DVD using the same settings as my other files, all of which play properly all the time.
    I have re-ripped this DVD twice, thinking that I got a bad rip, but now I'm beginning wonder. The movie plays fine from the computer hard drive, and directly from the DVD.
    Anyone else ever experienced this? If you did, how did you solve the problem? It's very annoying.
    Dave

    I had a similar issue with the exception of the video freezing. The Audio would cut out every couple minutes and I would have to RW a little to get it to start up again. I used the QT player to fix the issue but you have to have QT pro. When your movie opens with QT navigate to "window/show movie properies" select the "Sound track" and check the box for "preload this track" under the "other settings" tab. close the window and then close QT. QT will ask you if you want to save so save. This will create an .mov file that runs without audio cut outs. It's a 5 minute process but works everytime for me.

  • 7.6.3 Firmware Update Woes Today, anyone else? Think twice about it!

    Firmware update to 7.6.3 with the Time Capsule today. Normally I don't do these unless I have to but I was tempted in case some additional functionality might be available there or in the new Airport Utility such as being able to view DHCP address for ethernet attached devices.
    For three hours, suffered with internet service going on and off. Amber indicator on Airport Utility for Internet on and off. Contacted cable internet carrier, all fine. Contacted Apple, recommended a warm reset via Airport Utility and seemed OK for a while and then behavior continued when pressing on to update the 4 peripheral Airport Expresses which both extend network and deliver Airplay.
    Ultimately had to do a factory reset of all of them in sequence, seems OK for now but have lost all DHCP reservations and Port Forwarding which is a pain in the neck.
    Unless there's a good reason to update firmware, I would wait.
    Interested in the experiences of others. And if anyone knows of a way to simply view the DHCP IP address of wired attached devices I am interested...
    Mitch

    Still troubleshooting past midnight but there appears to be a conflict between my peripheral Airport Expresses, two of them are configured as extending network and are connected to ethernet and two are connected to the existing network via WiFi. If I disconnect the two that are connected via WiFi, it works properly.
    To factory reset, unplug, press and hold reset button and plug in. Manual says to then press and hold reset for ten seconds after light starts to flash.
    I'm also interested in rolling back to 7.6.3 but I wonder if the real problem is the firmware upgrade disturbed the connections of my Expresses to the Time Capsule.

  • When starting a Lync group message from a Mac, anyone else using a Mac cannot see the first message.

    When a group conversation is started from a Mac, any other Mac user will not see the first message unless they reply to the message immediately.  Here's what I've tested:
    Mac User 1 starts a group conversation with 4 people invited.
    Mac User 2 sees the popup but does not immediately open the conversation window.
    PC User 1 opens the conversation window and sends a reply.
    PC User 2 opens the conversation window and sees all the text.
    Mac User 2 finally opens the window about 30 seconds later and can see all text except the first message.
    Why does the first message disappear for Mac User 2?  
    Note:  This does not happen if the original message was started from a PC, in that case Mac User 2 would be able to see the first message.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    Did the issue happen only for single Mac computer or for multiple computers?
    Please try to login Lync client on another Mac computer with the same Lync account and test again.
    Please also try to login Lync client on the issued Mac computer with other Lync account and test again.
    Please check if the Lync client on Mac computer update to the latest version, if not, please update to the latest version.
    Best Regards,

  • Lion OS X down load from app store. Error message on instllation.Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have purchased lion os x and when i go to install it it comes uop with an error message of corrupted file. I deleted and then re installed but the same error.?

    Apple's final answer was like this.
    They know this problem and also know considerable people have experienced it. However only they can say is to use the outer network. In case we can't bring the machine to outside, we can download Lion OS in the other machine and copy the installer into the target machine.
    They refunded my bill because my machine at home is too old to download the OS. They told me I can buy the USB type of the OS. Today I checked the price of it and found it costs more than double of downloadable version!
    I remember the disk version of previous OSs were cheaper and that was almost same as the price of Lion OS downloadable version. Why should I buy such expensive USB version?
    I swear here that I never buy Lion OS until Apple will fix this problem!

  • Strange message about arguments

    I am running 2.2 on Windows XP, and when I launched LR just now, I let it go ahead and do a backup. When the backup was done, I briefly got a programming message that was something about missing arguments, then LR opened with no images displayed. I closed LR and reopened it, and it looks fine now. What did I likely do wrong and is my catalog okay? Thanks!

    I got the same behavior just now after an auto-backup. The message was something like "First argument needs to be a" something. Yikes - will this happen after each backup?

  • Getting a strange message about my text

    I had posted about this previously, but at that time was not able to remember the message I was getting.  I have since received it a12gain so I can post verbatim.  Again it was during a conversation with my daughter, and it actually came to me from her number, apparently not from verizon as I had previously thought.  It reads as follows:
    From: (my daughter's name)
    Message delivered to (my daughter's number) as plain text. Destination does not support enhanced messaging service.
    Jan 15, 1202pm
    So have I blocked something I should not have blocked?  The odd thing is that it does not happen at all most of the time.  Just now and then and it has always been just a plain old text message.  No pictures or anything fancy.  It has also happened a couple of time with my other daughter who is not a verizon customer. (the younger one is)
    Although it really has not caused me any problems, at least not that I am aware of, I would be interested to know what's up.
    Thanks

    I believe that comment is from your daughter adding emoticons. ---------> 

  • I am having trouble receiving text messages after iOS7 update; anyone else know how to resolve this?

    Before installing 7 I had no problem receiving text messages; now I am not receiving some people's messages unless I have my data turned on or wifi.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I am having similar issues with my iphone 4S that didn't exist before I did the iOS7 update. The senders of the imessages believe their message was sent successfully however I may not receive it for minutes-days.
    In my case (and probably yours), its' definitely an iOS7 problem rather than a carrier problem as it was never an issue before the update.
    Two temporay ways to resolve the issue that I've found (though not cures) are:
    1) double tap the home button and close messages from running in backgorund. restart messages and the screen freezes for a 10-30 seconds and a rush of messages may arrive shortly.
    or
    2) intermittently do a soft reset on your phone (holding home button and lock button down for 10 seconds until apple logo appear). When the phone restarts I get a rush of imessages that I should have received.
    Hopefully Apple will recognise and resolve this issue. I'm feeling the same frustration as you are.

  • Anyone else having problems with group messages in iOS 7?

    Upgrade to iOS7 went fine. Everything worked smoothly up until about 6:30pm Central time. Can't send/receive group messages in iMessage. Anyone else?
    Not sure if this is a problem with my phone or iMessage.

    It has failed to work on two of my iOS devices. I am using air 2.6.
    This is my code:
    Bookmark = SharedObject.getLocal("bookmarkData", "/");
    if (Bookmark.data == undefined){
         Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'] = 0;
    lessonIndex = Bookmark.data['lessonIndex'];
    LessonIndex is always 0 at the start of the program. This is a product killing problem. If I cannot resolve this 3 years of work has just been flushed down the toilet.

  • TS3988 My text is all scrambled in iCloud. Has anyone else had this problem? I can read messages okay but the recipients name and everything else is garbled text.

    When I open iCloud now (Running OS 10/7/5 Lion) I can read the body of an email message but all my headings and other text are totally scrambled in strange characters, etc. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a known fix other than a complete re-install?

    Apple is aware of the issue and is expected to release 7.0.3 next week to address iMessage issues.
    In the meantime I have found that a good old fashion reset cures it for a while.
