Apple sends no such emails. You succumbed to a phishing scam, and your Apple ID and password have been stolen.
To recover from this will require assistance from Apple: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.

  • HT201238 My account was not automatically upgraded to an new annual plan, I got it one year ago and I got a message saying my Icloud storage was full and I that I only had 5gb free. What can I do ?

    My account was not automatically upgraded to an new annual plan, I got it one year ago and I got a message saying my Icloud storage was full and I that I only had 5gb free. What can I do ?

    Thanks Winston, thats the first thing I wanted to do but I dont see any Annual Plan (like I had), only monthly plans, and they said that as I got a Storage Plan before September 2014 I would be "automatically" updgraded to a new annual plan with reduced pricing. Dont know how I can get it now.

  • I want to find out how and if I am able to retrieve emails of which I should have received while my iCloud storage was full.

    I had to upgrade my storage for my iCloud account, and in this time between the storage being full and the upgrade, I was unable to send or receive emails.
    I have been trying to find any information as to if there is such a way to now retrieve those emails.
    Of course, with this happening over the silly season, I was unable to upgrade my storage straight away, therefore there are days of 'missed' emails.
    I have tried accessing my iCloud account from multiple devices, and still have no luck!
    If there is any suggestions and advice, I would appreciate it!!
    Thanks!!

  • Since upgrading to iOS7 I can't get rid of the number of emails it says I have

    I still can't clear my emails.  They have all been read, but it shows I still have 22 messages.  Going into messages and hitting Edit and then tagging each one isn't the issue.  That didn't help.
    Also, since upgrading to the iOS7 everytime a call comes in it is dropped between 5-15 seconds.  Rather annoying seeing it is a business phone.  Can anyone help?

    Hello Shariann1
    Go to the email messages; click the edit button in the top right corner and you will see a Mark All Button. Click that and you will have the option to Flag or Mark as Read or Unread. Just click that until it shows that everything shows that it has been read and you are good to go.

  • I sycned my ipod touch 8GB to my computer and then the storage was full, I had 1.6GB before that and my iCloud backup is off, Any solutions?

    I wanted to charge my iPod Touch 4G on my computer and i forgot that it automatically syncs which i didn't want it to. I cancelled the syn and when i checked my ipod it said the storage was almost full. I had 1.6GB before and it went to 46 MB?!? I just don't get it can someone help?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software

  • I was using the 4oD app on my iPod touch and when I went to watch something on it it froze my internet access and I can't get rid of the message "This movie could not be played". How do I fix this???

    Please help!!

    Have you tried resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • TS3276 iCloud Storage is Full

    I began receiving emails a few days ago that my iCloud Storage was close to full and today I received a message that my iCloud Storage was FULL and I would no longer be able to send or receive emails on any cloud devices. I now know that those attempting to send me emails are receiving a delivery failure notice with the phrase "over quota".
    I have purchased additional iCloud Storage capacity about an hour ago, but the same error message continues to appear on the sender's email when they attempt to send me an email. Does it take some time for a new purchase of storage to take effect or is there something else going on here?
    Thanks for your replys.

    iCloud does not delete your mail when full, you have some other problem.

  • TS4009 I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

    I received an email from apple stating my icloud storage was almost full. I deleted apps and photos and the storage has not changed, so what am I supposed to do?

    ...  I clicked on it (I know I am not supposed to do this - I won't ever do it again) and no window opened up.
    You're right - it is never a good idea to click on links sent in an email unless you are absolutely certain they are legitimate, and that is only becoming more difficult as spammers and phishing attempts are getting better every day. Having no association with Verizon is all the more reason to simply delete the thing.
    Next, by supplying your email address all you did was confirm to whatever site was sending you this spam that your email address was legitimate. Again, when in doubt just delete the email and forget you ever saw it.
    ...  How can I check to see if my computer has been hacked and how can I protect it further.
    The good news is that is highly unlikely. The bad news is that your email address might be used as the "from" address for spam sent to others, and that you are only more likely to get more spam from the phony Verizon site as well as every other potentially malicious operators.
    The best advice would be to simply abandon that email address, but if you can live with the previous potential concerns it would be overkill. I would recommend changing your passwords for financial institutions (banks, credit cards and so forth) as well as your email account or accounts. That is simply good practice whether or not you did what you did.
    As far as any malware is concerned, again that is unlikely, but make sure you run Software Update to get all Apple's latest updates.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • I got a new e-mail address and I reset my iPod so it already has the new email address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPad or iPhone. Please help me change the address on all my devices!

    I got a new email address and I reset the iPod so it already has the new address. I can't seem to change the address on my iPhone5 or iPad. So please help! How do I change the address for my apple ID and icloud on all my devices? I don't want to reset my iPad and phone just to set new email address I can't do updates without the password and I have forgotten my password for my old email address. Please Help! Getting frustarted!

    If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an pal when I didn't make the purchase

    I Keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an app in the amount of $xx.  I did not make the purchase.  I keep dumping these emails into trash as it seems like spam but it's getting annoying.  Email appears to be coming from Apple.  Any ideas?

    If you think it's spam move it to junk instead of trash. Read the article below and report one to Apple.

    I have a new iPad. I am using Comcast as my email provider but when I send a message, it pulls up the facebook email addresses for my  contacts  instead of the addresses stored in my comcast account.  How can I get rid of the Facebook email addresses? The comcast addresses are stored in the comcast (xfinity) app.  I do not use the "mail" or "contacts" apps ....I go straight to comcast (xfinity).  I wish I could start over!!!  thanks.
    iPad

    I could be wrong, but it sounds like Facebook imported to your contacts.  I have the Xfinity app on my new ipad, too, but none of my stored contacts from the online version are showing, only what I manually entered into the iPads contacts are there.  When I did add the FB app, I did not grant it permission to push and pull from my ipad (not a fan of FB knowing every detail about me), so that may be where our difference lies.  You could try to open the app and change your privacy settings, or delete it and then reinstall without granting permissions to integrate.
    I'm sure someone here with a lot more knowledge then me can probably diagnose your issue better, though.  Good luck!

  • TS4009 My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I have done all I can but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.

    My iCloud storage is full and I need to delete some stuff.  Can anyone tell me what is important to keep and what not?  I'm just not sure what I really should back up each night and what doesn't really matter.  I know my photo's should back up, but other than that, I'm not really sure.
    I have taken some pics off and videos and appt, but it still says I need to delete before I can back up on iCloud.  I'm starting to wonder if its a glitch with my personal phone.  Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Only you can decide what's critical to back up.  One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your backup in settings.
    You might try going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll), then look at the size of your next backup.  If it doesn't go down significantly, something else is wrong.
