Why is apple online asking me for a screenshot of my online banking logon? possible fraud ?

After purchasing online i've received a mail from [email protected] asking me for strange things to proof my Identity.
Such as CC statement ( including the bank logo?? ) even asking for a screenshot of my online banking logon???
I purchased the laptop by signing into my apple account where the info of CC is already present
So why is this all necessary?.. i was suspicious and informed via obove e mail adress to cancel my order immediately.
Not a very nice experiance at all..  was the first time i've tried to purchase a mac book pro...

Sounds like a scam, you likely placed a real order and somehow someone saw that and got your email and sent you a scam email.
Likely the machine or network you were using is compromised in some fashion.
Buy the machine in a retail store instead.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.

    It should be the password for your Apple ID you use on the ATV.

    I want to put Newsstand in my "Refference" folder!! Why has Apple started making decisions for me? Thats what Microsoft do!! Please dont start doing things like that - PLEASE HEAR MY CRY!!

    You cannot put folders inside folders. Newstand is technically a folder. Don't panic.

  • Why does Apple TV ask for my credit card security code??

    Tried to rent a movie all day. Cannot get passed Apple TV asking for my credit card security code. Entering it does not work, changing the credit card in itunes does not work. Am able to rent directly on my phone (there's a wasted $6 but was curious if was itunes or Apple TV). What is going on???

    Thanks diesel....tried that as well, but failed to mention it in my OP. No luck. Also rebooted, unplugged, reset, etc....no luck as well. It has to be something on the ATV though since it rented just fine on my phone. I have 13 $1 pending charges on the 2nd credit card I tried, so it was looking, just not verifying.....strange. Have to think it wouldn't be my bank though, since again, renting on my phone went fine.

  • WHY CANT APPLE GET CAR CONNECTORS FOR AMERICAN CARS

    I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT APPLE HAS AGAINST AMERICAN CAR MAKERS????? ONLY CAR ADAPTERS YOU CAN BUY IS FOR GERMAN AND JAPANESE CRAP. I JUST BOUGHT THE IPOD NANO, AND I CANT CONECT IT TO MY CADILLAC WITHOUT ELIMINATING MY CD CHANGER, OR HAVING TO PUT UP WITH CHANGING RADIO STATIONS ON THOSE FM TRANSMITTERS.... APPLE, HELP US AMERICANS OUT!!!! WE ARE PROBABLY 75% OF YOUR BUSINESS

    Ok, so the subject of your post is the question, "why can't Apple get car connectors for American cars?".
    I think the answer is simply that Apple doesn't control GM, Ford or Chrysler. As a matter of fact these companies make a TON more money than Apple and have a lot more power than Apple about what goes into their products.
    It isn't fair to say it's Apple's responsibility to make cars compatible with the iPod. It's Apple's responsibility to make the iPod compatible with cars. And Apple HAS done that. Thats why several car companies are including a way to control the iPod off of THEIR factories.
    The more forward thinking car companies with the most recent designs have been doing this. Even if Cadillac came out with a CTS that works with your iPod tomorrow would you go out and buy that new CTS just so you could work your iPod off the steering wheel or whatever? OR, would you rather go get a great aftermarket Alpine or Kenwood? Both of which have decided it would be in their best to make devices which are compatible with the iPod.
    Chevy recently came out with a new car design - the HHR - which does this. I seriously, seriously doubt Steve Jobs called Bob Lutz (the CEO of Chevy) and said "Hey Bob, you'd better start making cars that work with the iPod because it's our responsibility to force you to do that. And if you don't you're gonna be in big trouble mister".
    What leverage does Apple have to force GM to do anything?
    More than likely, the engineers at Chevy (being bright individuals) said, "hey, lets make this really cool hip car work with a really cool hip mp3 player so we can sell more of these cars". It's in Chevy's best interest to do that.
    My turn to ask you a question.
    How should Apple go about forcing GM, Chevy and Ford to build in iPod controls?
    Remember, the iPod already has this funcionality as evidence by the new HHR, Nissans, BMWs, Ferraris and others at this site:
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/ipodyourcar/
    Again, I recommend that if you want CADILLAC to change their cars, ask CADILLAC - not Apple. Apple did it's part with the iPod (as evidenced at the above link).
    Think about it.

  • Why is the phone asking me for my icloud info and its showing an email i dont recognize automatically? did i get a refurbished phone?

    i got a new iphone 5s at the beginning of september and it has been malfunctioning. today i went to apple and the genius gave me a "new" phone but when it asked to login into icloud it automatically showed another users email address that i dont recognize. he said it was normal because other people are using the internet in the store- i dont understand what that has to do with it. so now im at home uploading my info and the icloud continues to ask me for that random email's password. so did i get a refurbished phone? Also, if this is a new phone, why dont i have the u2 playlist like the new iphone i had bought last month?

    Well, you could always start all over again and see if you can get it to go away. Go to Settings>iCloud, and turn off Find My iPhone, then go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content and Settings. That will erase the device.
    Then set it up again from the Hello screen, and either restore it from a backup (if you have one), or hook it up to iTunes on the computer you sync with and download your data from there. If Wifi is your only option, then, of course, you can do it from there, but the backup or iTunes route would be quicker.

  • If apple app store has an app to sync windows phone with itunes called windows connector, and windows phone and apple are competitors, why doesnt apple make an app for android that syncs itunes without a third party software

    I want to simply sync my android and my mac itunes without downloading any software. Windows phone has an app to do that even though apple and windows phone are competitors. Why does android not make an app or why doesnt apple create an software or something

    Apple didn't create the Windows Phone app (Microsoft). Apple has nothing to do with this, and Google should do an app for this

  • Why does it keep asking me for the login keychain password?

    I am having a problem where my imac keeps asking me for a "login keychain" password. I type in my password every time, but that doesn't fix my problem. I need to know if this is bad or not, and how i can turn it off.
    Thanks!

    Hey there Daniel,
    It sounds like you are being prompted over and over for your Login Keychain, and entering it does not seem to make the prompts stop. I would start by running First Aid on the Keychain with this article:
    Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph7296
    To check keychains for problems using Keychain First Aid:
    Open Keychain Access, located in the Utilites folder in the Applications folder.
    Choose Keychain Access > Keychain First Aid.
    Enter your user name and password.
    Select Verify and click Start. Any problems found will be displayed.
    If there are problems, select Repair, and then click Start.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next reset your Keychain:
    In Keychain Access, choose Preferences from the Keychain Access menu.
    If available, click the Reset My Default Keychain button. This will remove the login keychain and create a new one with the password provided.
    If Reset My Default Keychain is not available, choose Keychain List from the Edit menu.
    Delete the "login" keychain.
    The next time you log in to the account, you can save your current password in a keychain.
    From: OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login           password

  • Why does it keep asking me for a password?

    im trying to use mail for my email services.
    when i first registerd, i had an apple id, and email address at mac and all that stuff.
    recently, i tried to use a different email address, and ive had nothing but grief.
    1. i dont use mac mail, or me mail, or whatever crap it is now, i never have and i never will. i tried to delete my mailbox for my mac account, as well as deleting the account itself from my preferences > accounts menu, but whenever i click the "get mail" button it keeps asking me to enter the password for:
    “wappit” on SMTP server “smtp.mac.com”
    now, for reasons my feeble mind is yet to comprehend, i am totally unable to enter any password for this that it will accept. ive tried to re set my password several times, and each time it has no effect.
    now i dont want to use this mail server, at all, for anything.
    how do i adjust my mail program so it stops asking me for a password that i dont have, for an account which i cant access, to use a mailbox that i dont want?

    I am unsure as to what you are referring to with respects to my accounts, but ill try and clarify.
    I vaguely remember having to sign up for an apple ID several months ago. since that time, my mail program has been asking me for the password for the server (as i listed it) and i have never been able to enter a password that it accepts. Ill be the first to admit that computers are not my strong point, and especially not Apples, as i used PC's my whole life, but i do write down passwords that i use for accounts.
    so anyways, i never used the mail account, or the apple forums up until a few days ago when i tried to set up another mail server (the one i use) so that i could access it from mail.
    it wouldnt accept the password that i though it should be, so i followed the prompts and instructions to re set my password. again, it didnt change anything.
    finally i created this apple id to access this message board. i hope this clarifies my situation...
    anyways, as per your advice:
    so i went in to keychain, but all i see is the mail server account that i want to be using, and i dont see the mac server account on the list.

  • Why HP didn't asked us for recall because of the GBA defect?

    I'd like to know, why am I facing a very common HP's laptop problem and HP itself didn't call us for recall?
    My laptop now has what they call GBA defect, I made a search on Google, and it seems that it is much more common than I thought, but it is expensive.
    So why HP didn't call us for recall?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    They actually never recalled the models dv95xx and higher and they were never part of the class action although they are prone to some of the same issues as the earlier models. My first suggestion is just to buy a new laptop. If that is not in the cards I would suggest one of the many online shops that fix these models using advanced techniques and can likely get you another year or two out of it for around $100US. If you know how to remove the motherboard so you can ship just it to the shop, the cost can be closer to $60US. They will fix the ball grid array and get you back up and running.
    This is just one example of this type of service:

    Why do you have to pay for anything?
    Everything should be free always.
    The streets should always be clean.
    There should be no crime ever.
    The sun should always shine.
    Everyone should always be happy.
    Nothing should ever die or get sick or injured.
    Maybe you are on to something.  If Apple jsut started giving away it's products for free, maybe all of these things would happen.

  • Why does Apple need to charge for feature updates, but Sony doesn't?

    Ok, so I know all about the subscription-based accounting reasons for why Apple has to charge a nominal fee for firmware updates that provide new features to the iPod touch (but not iPhone).
    I don't have a problem with this fee, and personally think its quite reasonable, and am happy to pay it.
    However, I'm curious as to why Apple has to charge for these updates, but Sony doesn't - and I've not been able to find a reason.
    Since the release of both Sony's PSP and PS3 video game consoles, Sony have frequently released firmware updates that add many minor and some very significant new features to both consoles, as Apple have done with the iPod touch.
    However, Sony has never charged for these new features. Does anyone really know why there's this difference?

    You better believe that any company doing business in the US has to follow US laws. You don't get to just say, oh well we have our headquarters in another country so we can do what we want in yours. Hehe I am pretty sure diplomatic immunity doesn't come with selling something in the US. The accounting reason is a sham. Apple knows that their customers are desperate for "coolness" and will sacrifice features and customer service and pay for that privelege.
    What really gets me is that I already bought the January update. The only thing 2.0 adds is the "priveledge" of paying Apple to buy applications. So of course I bought the 2.0 update because I am an idiot and now my audiobooks will not play. Will they support it no. I buy an update from them, it screws up my ipod and then I can't even call or email to get some help. Instead I have to travel an hour to the nearest Apple store. I recently bought my first iPod but after all the horrendous experiences I have had with their lack of support and idiotic "geniuses" at the genius bar, I will never buy another apple product. Which is too bad because they have the most elegant and fun to use interfaces. However, I would rather have something a bit less elegant but that I can get service on without a 3 hour time commitment on my part.
