Today I found people with numbers I don't know in my Phonebook.  They are all from two area codes where I don't know anyone; most seem to be related. Does this mean one of them has hacked me?  What actions should I take?  Delete them?  Msg them?  Report t

How could someone else's directory get into my phonebook?  Someone's grandma, cousins, etc. got added to my phone's phonebook.  If I delete each entry, does someone still have access to my phone in some way?  How do I secure it from them? 

That's very stange, MomRev. We need to get this figured out. Did you sync any new email accounts with your phone? Do you know who's contacts they are? Did this person use your device? Please provide me with a few more details.

    Hi, my built in webcam has stopped working on Skype following an update. Does this mean my macbook air has blocked videochat on skype? How can I fix this problem?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX:  
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

    When connecting my iPhone I get the following message "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.1 or later.  What does this mean? My computer has 10.4.

    That's an issue with your system. Try removing the iTunes and the other APPLE software related from your system and reinstall it again.

  • I have an apple tv and the light blinks continuously after an electrical outage. does this mean my apple tv has been permanently damaged or only resetting is necessary?

    I have an apple tv and the light blinks rapidly and continuously after a power outage. does this mean my apple tv has been permanently damaged?

    Hello there, Philip.

  • HT1725 i recently downloaded an album from itunes but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i try to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what but what action should i take to repair the files or get my money back?

    i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Every time I try signing into Facetime or Imessage it says that they are encountering an error and to try again later but it's been doing this since I got my computer and I've had it for several months.

    Is there anyway anyone can help me. I don't know if I have to go to a setting in my computer or anything. So if you could just tell me why they are not working that would be great!!

    See if this - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3970?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - can be of any help.

  • My Airport Extreme is flashing yellow, but I still have internet connections and iPhone access to the network.  Does this mean that my network has been hacked or something else?

    The light on my Airport Extreme is flahing yellow, but I still have network access to the internet with no issues.  PLus, I can still get into the network with my iPhone, too.
    DO I have a problem (such as net work being hacked)?
    Was going to shop and don't want my cc number scattered all over creation.
    Thanks.

    Suggest the following:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click directly on the word Status (2nd line on the summary page)
    A window will open to explain why the amber light is blinking and offer suggested actions to remedy things.
    If everything seems to be working OK, it might simply be a message that an update is available for your AirPort Extreme.
    Now you know what to do next time the amber light is blinking.

  • HT201808 "...nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds." So does this mean I can't make a song with just remixed loops and publish it on SoundCloud for example?

    If I've made a song with remixed loops, can I post it on SoundCloud to share with facebook friends and stuff? Regarding this statement from the software license agreement: "...however, individual audio loops may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound effects or music beds."

    momomikes,
    Would you mind continue reading the document you quoted?
    Read the last sentence, please. It goes:
    ”So don't worry, you can make commercial music with GarageBand, you just can't distribute the loops as loops.“

  • My sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house does this mean someone has stolen the iPod and reset it?

    HI my sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house is it possible someone has stolen the ipod and reset it? Please help a confused mum...

    Could be. The battery could also have died or it is no longer connected to the internet
    lost/stolen                                     
    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • What actions should I take after seeing this script running @ startup today?  "ARDAgent\" to do shell script \"say quack\"'"

    STEPS TAKEN:
    Logged into Mac for first time today.
    Noticed a new individual file in Directory Library ".a.text". (Settings disply hidden system file/folders)
    File contained only the text "--purge".
    Meta data on file directed source to bash process run @ startup.
    Attached History command output.
    Disabled ARD for now.
    SETTINGS:
    All Sharing was Off. 
    Firewall was set to Block All Incoming Connections.
    Home network with no other active users at time.
    Upgraded to Mavs 10.9.2 last night.
    Do not use any file sharing or remote access into Mac.
    The SSH host attempts were my old Amazon EC2 instances.
    Appears to start bitcoin app and few databases.
    Worth noting I've been having tons of various issues last few months.

    I'm extremely unclear on exactly what's happening. You mention something about a script running at startup in your subject, but then never mention that again. What's going on there? Where are you finding that script?
    That script would suggest someone playing a joke on you, by making your computer say "quack" every time you start up. That's not indicative of malware.
    On the other hand, a hidden file as you describe is a common malware trick, though I'm not sure why it would only contain "--purge" - that isn't a complete command, as far as I know, and the purge command isn't likely to be used for malicious purposes anyway.
    Still, you do have some indication that you're using Bitcoin-related apps, and there has been some Bitcoin malware that has appeared recently. See:
    New CoinThief malware discovered
    Note that the post on MacRumors that you refer to in your second post is almost six years old, and references a vulnerability that was closed later in 2008. It's completely irrelevant to any modern system.

  • Latest IOS displays fault code 1671, what does this mean?

    latest IOS displays fault code 1671, what does this mean?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.
