What does one do if your email account is hacked and an email is sent in your name asking for money

What does one do if your email account is hacked? Someone apparently has my email address and my contact list. They sent an urgent email to the address list saying I was stranded in Italy and to send money. Do I send am email to everyone in my address book telling them this is a hoax?

Hi, first change the passwords on your accounts, next I guess I would send a short note to your list.

My adobe account was hacked and compromised, emails were sent out on one of my accounts. I changed my adobe password, when I scan my computer, some adobe files are password protected and can not be scanned, is this normal?

I have contacted them, but apart from letting them look at it and deal with it, is there anything I can personally do myself? Or is it just a matter of waiting for me now?

HT4859 my email account was hacked and ive lost all emails can i restore them from icloud

My email account was hacked and i've lost all my emails can I restore from icloud?

Not if they've been deleted. You could check your trash folder to see if they're still there. If not, they're gone.

What does one do when they take my cc information and my payment is not showing up and basicly told sorry for your luck

Well they took my information at 11:30 today and when I try to make a call they say I have to verified my numbers and that there is not enough money in my account and when I try to get a hold of a supervisor they where rude and I have been out of work for about four weeks and part of the job you have to have a cell phone so than k you Verizon I am going to lose work for a screw up on your end
Android
HELP!!!!!!!

It evidently was told to you that there was not enough funds in your account
If they cannot receive the payment they do not give you service.
Is this prepaid or post paid service? If you owe Verizon money the odds are until the account is current that device will stay off.
1-800-922-0204 call them and find out. Or call the credit card company or is it debit card? Call the bank.
Good Luck

One day, being stupid, I used my Comcast email account to be my backup email address, just in case I forgot my security questions. Well I did. The email I was using was deleted and I can't get the answers. How do I fix it?

One day, being stupid, I used my Comcasst email account to be my backup email account in case I forgot my security questions. Well I did. I did not know that Comcast deleted your email when you disconnected with their service. When I ask for my security answers, it sends it to that email. How do I fix what I've done? Because now, I can't download apps that I have to pay for.

What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos?

What does one do when iPhoto version 7.1.5 only opens one event without showing all photos or any other events?

Depends -what other clues? What recently changed? Do you have a good current backup? best guess is to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - and repair the database - if that does not resolve things rebuild your iPhoto library database

'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple

When purchasing online (wonderful) Firefox informed me that the info. was encrypted but was about to be sent on an unencrypted connection - what does one do ?

When purchasing some small items via my computer; I entered my bank card details to make the payment, then when I clicked the send order button (wonderful) Firefox informed me that this encrypted information was about to be sent on an unencrypted connection ...
Does this matter ? and if so what does one do about it ?

Yes it matters. Contact the retailer about that issue.

HT202667 The "edit" button does not pop up next to my Apple ID and Primary Email Address

The "edit" button does not pop up next to my Apple ID and Primary Email Address. I want to change my address because its an old @mac.com address and I want to update it with my @gmail.com. I'm guessing this is an apple support question, but I would like to just get it fixed.

Just making sure we are comparing Apples to apples, so to speak.
If this is NOT what you see at My Apple ID - then Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
It seems that for SOME folks it takes contact with a live person at Apple - can't explain why though. One person replied that after contacting Apple, they were instructed to email [email protected] with old and new. I never heard back if that was successful or not - just that the email was instructed.

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
Have you seen this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
