What if I got an email purchase receipt supposedly from Apple, but it looks like spam?

I got an email that seems to be a purchase receipt from the Apple Store for a computer in the amount of $2633.88 but the purchaser is not myself. Is there an email address I can forward this to in order to tell if its a legitimate purchase receipt from Apple or if its just a spam message created by a spammer?

Apple does offer to email receipts for in-store purchases. I don't see why someone would spam you a fake receipt. But, someone that might have been expecting it may not have (there could have been an error in entering the correct email address). I would suggest you just give Apple a call. They may have another way of contacting the buyer.

I can not download any files, i think i by misstake put the download manager in the trash and then deleted it, what should i do? I am not so shore what the program is called in English( in Swedish:filhämtare) but it looks like a little grey box

Hi, i really need help... I think i by accident deleted the "download manager" i´m not shore what the program is called in English ( Swedish : filhämtaren), but its symbol looks like a grey little box and when you download a file it appears on a list and is then saved in this program. I don`t know how i didn´t see it in the trash, but somehow i deleted this program by mistake. And as a consequence i can no longer open/download any files. I just got my macbook pro and i do love the system but i am now unsure about what i should do with this problem since i am not that terribly good with computers.... Is there any way you can fix this?

If it looks like this:
It's called an "installer.app"
You can custom install the "installer.app" directly from your System DVD that originally came w/your computer. It will be either inside the "Bundled Software" folder or inside the "Applications" folder.

I purchased mountain lion from apple but never got a disk. How do I install it on my new hard drive, old hard drive failed and is not recoverable according to Apple and Recovery Specialist?

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with newly installed SATA HD + SSD, I can get mavericks download free but I can't recover photos, apps, files etc from time machine (1TB Time Capsule), I think I was running lion when I started backing up on it but I had updated to mavericks before the HD Failure. When I tried to transfer info from Time Capsule it says " no volumes detected" or something to that effect. I had mucho info backed up on that capsule. Any help appreciated, please spell it all out for me if you can help, I am not at all tech savvy and desperate to get up and going as I am an online student with a fast approaching deadline for course paper. Thank you in advance :)

Step 1: Buy a new Hard drive that can be installed in your MacBook Pro later, and an External enclose to place it in for now.
The MacBook Pro before 2010 can not contain the stand-alone firmware to go to the Internet and get a fresh copy of Mac OS X and install it.
You will need a working Recovery_HD, or to drop back to a 10.6 DVD (if it will Boot on your Mac).
There may be a functioning Recovery_HD on your existing Boot Drive. If you were running 10.7.4 or later and Time Machine, there may be a Recovery_HD on the Time Machine Volume.
To check:
Hold down the Alt/Option key as you restart. This will slowly draw a gray screen and then add an Icon (over several minutes) for each potentially-bootable volume. If any Recovery_HD shows up, take it, and you will be able to get to Internet Recovery and re-download some version of Mac OS X that can be installed on a new drive.
It is generally far quicker to set up a new drive and install Mac OS X than to struggle with only the primitive tools available only on a DVD or a Recovery_HD. Once you get any version of Mac OS X running, you can get some work done and attempt to salvage first your data, then your drive (if either will be possible).
By NOT trying to Boot from and use the possibly-damaged drive, you improve your chances of being able to salvage some files off it, since blocks will not be over-written by running Mac OS X from it.

HT5622 How can I verify if an email is truly coming from Apple?

I'm receiving various emails which I think are not from Apple but they look like....the sender is: Apple@appleES_account.js.com and they ask to verify my account icloud because someone has tried to connect with another ip address... there is a link to a page in which I should insert my username, pwd, credit car number, etc..
Then I enter in icloud and I do not see anything strange, not alerts, nor invites to verify...
The look and feel of the email I'm receiving is quite strange...
How can I verify id Apple is really sending me the messages?
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
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 you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

What determines the address iCal email reminders are sent from?

*What determines the address iCal email reminders +are sent from+?*
On our g4 iMac, running Tiger, my wife has multiple pop3 email accounts. 6 to be exact.
She only has one address listed in her address book, and that is her own main primary address.
She recently started using iCal email reminders for reoccurring events. At first she was getting emails from her main address mailed to her main address. Works as planned.
But recently, she is getting reminders emailed to her main address send from one of her other POP 3 email accounts. This is not desirable. She needs them to come from her main address, the one that is her primary account and is listed in the address book. She is not sure what caused this change or why.
So the question is, what determines the address the email reminder is sent from and how can you change this to another address.
THX

Yes, that's what I thought too.
There is only one address besides the "APPLE" card in her book, and that is her primary address, and unfortunately, NOT the one her reminders are coming from.

When I Upgraded to v8 on an iphone 5 I got an email form ICloud Team saying they where charging my account 99 cents to increase my storage to 20gb - . I did not order it . Have you seen this before where Apple auto bills you for something you did not order and possibly from upgrading to v 8

Hi I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. but he got it as a warranty replacement from Apple so he has no paperwork with the serial/IMEI. I need that kind of paperwork to be able to use my phone at work. what do I do to get it?

That information, and more, can be found in the About page of the settings. Tap Settings > General > About and you'll see a lot of information about the device.

Snowleopard. have downloaded qt7. purchased qt pro. have the reg number from apple but now what? do i have to have my applications disc to go ahead?

snowleopard. have downloaded qt7. purchased qt pro. have the reg number from apple but now what? do i have to have my applications disc to go ahead? not tech savvy so be kind.

What if I don't have the Snowleopard disc?
Disc not required. Simply install QT 7.6.6 download available online at URL referenced in "To install QuickTime Player 7 on OS X Lion" paragraph 1. (I.e., QT v 7.6.6 Player is compatible with current versions of both Snow Leopard and Lion operating systems. Disc only required if you are running Snow Leopard OS prior to v10.6.3 update as implied by paragraph 2 of the same heading.)

Received an email supposedly from Apple that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real?

I received an email supposedly from Apple from "Notice" that my Apple ID was used in Russia to buy music. Is this real? There was a link to click labeled AppleID. I didn't click it, but the message said I needed to change my Apple ID immediately.

What does the email look like - emails from Apple tend to be personalised (not 'dear customer' or 'hello') and the have proper English in them (if you hover your mouse pointer over the link do you see what URK it would take you to ? ; it might show at the bottom of the screen).
It's likely to be a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details - you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]
Just to be sure check your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
