What to do with spam/phishing emails through Adobe community?

I got a personalized email requesting contact from my part.
The contact details were apparently collected through Adobe community.
How to stop this from happening?

Could you please forward the email to me ([email protected]). I'll investigate.
Thanks

Hook method called to modify a view just before rendering.
This method conceptually belongs to the view itself, not to the
controller (cf. MVC pattern).
It is made static to discourage a way of programming that
routinely stores references to UI elements in instance fields
for access by the view controller's event handlers, and so on.
The Web Dynpro programming model recommends that UI elements can
only be accessed by code executed within the call to this hook method.
@param wdThis Generated private interface of the view's controller, as
       provided by Web Dynpro. Provides access to the view controller's
       outgoing controller usages, etc.
@param wdContext Generated interface of the view's context, as provided
       by Web Dynpro. Provides access to the view's data.
@param view The view's generic API, as provided by Web Dynpro.
       Provides access to UI elements.
@param firstTime Indicates whether the hook is called for the first time
       during the lifetime of the view.

Need Help With Spam Proof Email Form

I am making a new web site using iWeb, .Mac, personal domain and forwarding from my commercial host. I want to make an email contact form that spammers cannot hijack and use to deluge use with spam. I have another web site that was created with Dreamweaver that contains a javascript form that I think that I can modify and use as an html snippet in iWeb.
Will this work in iWeb (sending a form response to non-.mac email address? The form I am using relies on two small text documents that are stored in the templates folder of my site. The following code refers to the one line of text in the confige document.
<input type=hidden name="config" value="templates/confige.txt">
<input type=hidden name="success_url" value="http://myothersite.com">
<input type=hidden name="email" value="[email protected]">
Text of confige: mail_template=templates/emailTemplate.txt
The confige document refers to the following text which are the field names and order.
Name: <first>
Store Name: <store>
Location: <city>
E-mail: <custemail>
Platform: <platform>
Comments:<storeDescription>
How do I deal with the text documents that are stored in a separate folder in my Dreamweaver site, and can I eliminate these documents and use just the html form in iWeb?

What's happening with my photos & email???

I'm trying to send photos from my iPad to my PC using email. I go through all the steps, hear the 'swoosh' and then nothing happens. The email doesn't even show in my sent mailbox. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it an iPad glitch?
Also, I can sync up photos using iTunes as long as it is from my PC to my iPad. Is there a way to sync photos from my iPad to my PC? I'm trying to get some screenshots from my iPad to my PC (as I was told I could do when buying the iPad).
Last, I tried to email myself (several ways - as an attachment, cut/paste, etc.) a jpg file from my PC to my iPad. For some reason, it is coming through on my iPad email as a .dat file. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening like this. I can send & receive plain text emails just fine.
Any help with any of this???

THANKS!!! I don't know why I didn't think of that! For some reason, I couldn't find the camera wizard, but I used the same process going through Windows Explorer and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much for the tip/idea!

HT1694 Is anyone else having issues with setting up email through their Yahoo account on 7.1?

My Yahoo account was hacked and I had to change the password. Tried to update it through settings and I'm getting the message Server Unavailable. Try again later. Has anyone experienced this or know how to help? Tried setting it up as an Other email account and that didn't work either. The same thing has happened with my iTouch4.

Yes, Yahoo is known for this. - connection to server failed or unavailable.

How do I authorize my computer with a different email address (Adobe Digital)?

I am trying to authorize my computer for Adobe Digital, so I can use my eReader. We originally had authorized it for another email address, but would like to change it.

If you are trying to authorize your computer with a new ID you should first deauthorize your current ID. To do this press Ctrl+Shift+D on Windows (Cmd+shift+D on Mac) (You should be in the library view for this to work). Click "Erase authorization" in the dialog box that pops up.
To authorize your computer with a new ID you can now Click on Help-> Authorize computer (or alternatively press Ctrl+Shift+U on win or Cmd+Shift+U on Mac) and enter your authorization details.

Sending photos from iPad to company email through Exchange and Outlook

When sending emails with attached photos from my iPad to other employees using outlook off our exchange server, the photos sometimes show up as attachments (good thing) and sometimes display in the body of the email not as attachments (useless)
My iDevices are all using the mail app and are synced with my company email through exchange. This issue only appears from iDevice's and is random.
We also have Android devices in the company and they do not have this issue.
All emails originate from my devices as new mail and I have tried to copy past the photos and also sharing them directly from the gallery. I also have issues with FWD email with attachments but I am familiar with these issues and and some workarounds.
Our server was just upgraded to the newest available specs 3 months ago, prior we could not send any images from iDevices.
When the photos show up in the body without attachments is makes saving them very inconvenient and at times they wont save at all. This feature is a real issue die to the way we are required to transfer info to our client.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks Joe. We have discovered from this forum, actually, that if you send the photos from the iPhone, if that's where they were taken, then you are asked what size.
"If you send from the camera, then you get the option of reducing the size. If you send from your other photos synced from your computer, they don't have that option of reducing."
I tested it by sending a couple of photos taken by my iPhone, and sure enough, was asked as to size. Then sent the same two photos from my iPad (Photostream) and was not asked. Interestingly though, the sizes were identical in both emails.

Recipients cannot open files sent through Adobe Send. There was no problem with Adobe send Now. They see a blank page only! Please help!

My recipients only get a blank page. I show file sent. This is with Adobe Send. Adobe Send Now had no problem.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a problem with sending your files through Adobe Send. Can you provide more details?
What type of file are you sending?
When you download the file yourself, is it blank?
Are all recipients having the same problem?
Do the recipients get a Preview of the file?
Are they seeing the blank document as a Preview as well as after downloading?
Would it be possible for you to send the file to me through Adobe Send? I will provide you with my email address in a Private Message.

Please ignore any emails purporting to be from [email protected] because Adobe will not waste their time contacting people at random. You can easily track the e-mail by looking at the source and IP address but I suggest just ignore it and assume nothing has happened.
Under no circumstances should you pass on any personal details, bank details, PIN numbers, passwords National Insurance Number, passport copies or even driving license copy. Adobe or nobody is entitled to this information to allow you to use a website. Even the Police can only ask for such details under extreme cases and under supervision by the superior or a court order.
If you want further details and info about this then please post your query at this link:

Official Adobe Employee will give you further advice and may even contact you via PM system if it is absolutely necessary like sending a copy of the e-mail to him for further examination..
Good luck.

Where can I find the files that I send through Adobe?

i sent an email through adobe on the 10-10-2014, but i couldn't find them

Hi,
If your files were in Acrobat.com they should be there unless you deleted them. Chance may be if you were logged in other device where you had same id synced on that device.
Otherwise files should be there.

HT4484 My email was phished, so I deleted it and changed it completely. Now all the apps that I downloaded with the old email cannot update because I cannot log into that email. Mountain Lion is compatible with the new updated iPhoto. what can I do?

My email address was phished and I had to delete it completely. That was the one I used to download all my original apps on my computer. I have since changed to a new address, but since my apps were under the old one, I cannot update them without logging into the old address. It no longer exists....so how do I fix this?
Some of the apps I don't really care about updating but, I did download the new Mountain Lion and it wants to update my iphots and I can't do it.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

When you say you deleted your email and changed it completely, those are actually two different things, and it sounds like you are talking about your Apple ID, not just your email, (because you speak of making purchases with it).
If you changed your Apple ID (preferred, How to change the name you use for your Apple ID), then you would not have another Apple ID and all of your purchases would still be with your only Apple ID, it would just be renamed to your new email address.
If you instead created a new Apple ID (with a different email address) then of course you have two different Apple IDs and the old one still exists and is probably active. Just because you may not use an email address anymore, that doesn't mean an Apple ID of the same name is inactive, Apple IDs aren't deleted. If you start purchasing Apps with your new Apple ID, it can really cause confusion because, as you see, you need to be logged into the Apple ID that purchased an App to update it. It would be best to stick with one Apple ID for purchases, probably the one you have spent the most money with. Remember, unless it's an @mac or @me Apple ID you can rename them rather than creating yet another Apple ID. Since Apple IDs can't be merged or deleted, creating more can be a messy.
If you don't remember what the password is for a particular Apple ID, you can visit iforgot.apple.com where you can reset it, the AppleConnect password. If the Apple ID is no longer a valid email address, you can use the security question method to reset the password instead.
Unless you have made a lot of purchases with your new Apple ID, I'd recommend moving back into your old one, especially if that has the most or the most expensive apps with it. If your new Apple ID is the "name/email" you want to use, you could rename the new one to a secondary email, then rename your old Apple ID to your preferred name/email. Basically, rename the new one to something else which frees up that name (email) to rename your old Apple ID. Thus your old Apple ID has the new name. See My Apple ID. The "Manage your account" link is where you can rename the ID itself.
Sorry about getting long winded here, but it's important to keep as few Apple IDs as possible, at least when it comes to purchases. If an Apple ID is undesired, rename it rather than creating a new one. It will be much simpler in the long run.
Let us know how it goes.

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security?

I received a phishing email from what I thought was my bank. Do I need to do anything to my MAC for security? I have no anti-virus software.

Evelyn, there is nothing that can prevent you or anyone from falling victim to those attempts to defraud you – other than you.
"Phishing" scams are the most common way of getting people to voluntarily supply information that should be kept as secure as any other personal possession. "Anti-virus" solutions can't possibly prevent that sort of fraud, and if anything can only lull you into falsely believing you're being protected from threats, be they real or perceived.
Do you have any further advice so that I don't fear my Mac?
There is no reason to fear your Mac; it's a tool to be used for your sole benefit. Like any tool though, it can be misused. If there is any explanation for fear, it's a lack of education. Knowledge conquers fear and renders it inert. Learn what real threats actually exist, how to defend yourself from them, and how to distinguish them from those propagated by fear mongering psychopaths that justify their existence by keeping others misinformed. There are an abundance of the latter.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
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 iCloud, 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.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it. The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
