Why am I getting Emails from Apple in turkish to an Email-address that isn't used for my Apple ID anymore ?
Hi everybody, I already apologize if this isn't the right community for my problem.This whole thing is very confusing so I really hope someone can help me
I used Gmail as my official email account and it was also the Email address for my Apple-ID (for many, many years..)
Strangely, a few months ago, I got an Email from Apple saying that my Apple-ID was being used for Imessage and Facetime on other devices (in Turkey?). I googled it and found out that it might be a fishing mail so I quickly changed my password and also the Email-adress for my Apple.ID – which means that the Gmail-account was not longer in use for Apple anymore.
But here's the problem : I still get Emails from Apple (in Turkish) from time to time to my Gmail- account. They don't seem to be fishing Emails, though. Another odd thing about that is, that the mails I receive at Gmail don't seem to be addressed to my CORRECT email-address.
While my adress looks like „[email protected]“ the Itunes mails I receive are addressed to '[email protected]“ . I hope you know what I mean. There is no point between the names in my real address.
What could this be and how can I solve this problem ? It's really freaking me out.
Thanks,
D.
Hi D.,
Unfortunately phishing is far too common these days. The articles below will help you determine the authenticity of the emails that you received.

Question.Why don't the apple company ever make a memory card that people could use for their apple product just in case customers run out of memory on their apple product?
One thing the iPad lacks is a file manager. There is no file explorer native on the iPad. If you started adding plugin cards, then you add the need for that. And, in PC's, most viruses spread via the file explorer (the definition of a virus is a malicious program that propagates itself across multiple programs)
There are a few drives out there for iDevices. Such as the WiDrive and others. -

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

Does enyone know a perofesional touch screen monitor that i can use for my apple laptop???Thanks. monitor that
I still cannot figure out why it doesn't always work. All parameters were met and my bluetooth keyboard is set correctly to wake the computer. My keyboard becomes backlit, but my LG monitor does not pick up a video signal and is black and my laptop monitor is off. The only way I can get out is to hold on button on laptop until it shuts down and I can start up again. This happens on an intermittent basis. Sometimes it works and other times I get black screens. I need to know if I can use command F1 to get the laptop to detect the display or is their another key combination to send the signal to the external monitor when I can't see anything because I hate to do a hard shut down to get out of this mode! Please advise!

What should i do if my new email address is already been used for an apple ID?
I have updated my itunes account with my new email address and I obviously want any further emails from apple or itunes to be sent to my new email address but I can't add my new email address s my primary email address as I'm getting a message to say "the email address you entered is already being used for an apple account. If it is yours, you can cancel and sign in using that apple account".

How to get cd from optical player. No tool on desktop that I can use. Imac do not shut down.
A cd is tucked into the player and there is no thing on desktop to get it out. Its running all the time but das not show a thing. No label is as usuly on desktop and computer das not shutting down.
You could try these suggestions.
If your iMac will not shutdown normally, force a shutdown by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. Follow Step 3 above when restarting if you have not managed to eject the disc. -
I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account. I do not understand why I cannot use it as my Apple ID now. Can anyone help?
Contact iTunes customer support for assistance.

Hi - My daughter was using her Apple TV until recently when she got a Smart TV. Now the Apple TV is not needed so she passed it on to me. How do I get her Home Sharing account transferred over to mine so that I can use it with my PC? Thanks!
As Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

Ive just changed my my email address for appleid because i was using an old email address thats not in use now.
Ive been trying to set up 'find my iphone' app. When i tried login my apple id in i cloud it tells me that my email needs verification.
Ive been on apple site and its telling me that email verifications have been sent to my new address and follow d prompts to activate
this . I havent recieved any verification emails what so ever. Ive tried again and again and it keeps saying it will resend this email but i havent recieved it.
Ive checked my eamail address and thats correct . so basically i can log into find my iphone app with my apple id, but i cant on i cloud because my
emails not verified.it keeps telling me to verify but its not sending me any emails to verify. some one help pleaseIf you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

Let see, you are using a proprietary file format that is only supposed to work with Outlook. It doesn't work for millions of Windows or Mac or Linux email users that depend on other email programs like Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, webmail, etc.
Microsoft has had to publish instructions so that their program's users can make themselves compatible with the rest of the world.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809
You are causing your own problem by not making a simple change in your program's options. Changes in the Outlook preferences can be made either Globally or by the Recipient.
Follow these steps in Outlook 2007 to turn off TNEF:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Mail Format tab.
3. In the Compose in this message format box, click Plain Text or HTML, and then click OK.
Don't know of a better way to fix this problem for everyone concerned. Even if you get the fix to work with your machine, you will not enable all of the people receiving your emails to be able to work with you. That's a losing battle that's been caused by Microsoft.
Now if Microsoft created a Mail plugin for other email programs like they do for their video format's and services (flip4mac, Office Live Plugin, etc), then I would consider using their email program to deal with my clients. Until then, I need to be compatible with many different programs in other countries, on different platforms. Maybe that's going to change when they bring out the new Office 2011 with Outlook for the Mac... -
I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.

hi everyone, first time using this forum!
I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone. For me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account? Many thanks.You should only use one Apple ID for both phones. All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them. If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music. It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

i recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id? if it makes any type of difference i have an iphone 5 so i tried transfering the music but it only transfered certain things and not my entire album.
Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.
