Your help, please...contacts received cryptic e-mails that I did not send
Your help, please...
Some of my contacts have received cryptic e-mails that I did not send.
How do I "clean" my computer?
Thank you!
There's nothing wrong with your Mac. One of your PC friends/co-workers has had his address book compromised and the malware is sending out emails from his address book as if they came from the person who's name is in their address book.

How to block or stop hundreds of mail delivery notices that I did not send
how to block hundreds of incoming email delivery notices that I did not send out
It sounds as though someone hacked into your email account and/or the account of one of your friends and stole email addresses to use as sender and recipient for spam messages.
Since the damage is already done so to speak, there isn't a whole lot to do but: do change your email address and send out an email to your friends that the other emails are not from you and not to open or click on anything contained in them.
Unfortunately, this is happening more and more. -
Just got a text from a friend that claims he received a text from me. This text told him that to "receive my text" he needed to hit a download button that was in the text. i DID NOT send him any text! This is alarming! I immediately changed my Apple ID and password. Should i be worried? Has anyone experienced this and what does it mean?!
Perhaps your friends phone has been hacked.
Unless yours has been jailbroken, it has not been hacked.
It would seem far more likely that your friend has the issue, than you. -
Help please , New Mac Pro and fans that they do not increase of rpm's
Hello everyone.
I recently purchased a Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66 Ghz Nehalem. Without doing anything, just with firefox, the CPU temperature is 30 º, up there either.
But if I run programs that require lots of CPU power, the fans are still turning the same rpm's. I have seen temperatures of 62 º and the fans do not go hand in 600rpm (Boosta usually always do what you do at 857rpm. It does not move). All this I have checked with iStat.
I installed the smcfancontrol and I'm clearly not the fault of the fans, because this program can go make your rpm's Mac Pro, but, by itself, does not. I come from the PC world and am well aware that the motherboard is responsible for regulating the speed of the fans, depending on temperature.
I called Apple and Spain have told me that is normal but the response seems a little insulting to my intelligence and experience with computers. I do not know what to do and do not know if this is normal.
I can help?
Thanks and best regards
PS: Sorry for my English, I do not have much experience with English.
Message was edited by: risingforce71Maybe someone else can give a clear idea of what is "normal" - someone asked that last week.

As for iStat, I would rely on Hardware Monitor, it is more accurate, or the free version which is Temperature Monitor.
SmcFanControl was updated to 2.2 recently but I didn't check to see if it supports Mac Pro 2009 "Nehalem." It may or may not.
Depending on your room and environment, air ventilation, 30-62 are reasonable.

The trouble with fans and thermal sensors is they can wait too long to kick in and is better to boost the fans 200-300 rpm to keep air flowing and temperature cool, rather than wait for heat to build up inside.
There is a System Management Controller (SMC) that handles fans, sensors, power management.

Not everyone likes to be asked what they don't know, and can respond inappropriate. They probably just didn't know.

Yahoo mail sent from iPhone 4 that I did not send
There have been two messages that show they were sent from my iPhone yahoo account (set up in the regular mailbox, not another application for email) that are links. Other than the link, it only says it is sent from iPhone. The message is not shown in my sent mail (like all other messages I send), and it gets sent to a few random recipients from my contact list (not the entire list).
Is this a virus? Would it be coming from some application I have on the phone? Please help! I don't want to have my phone sending people random links!
Thank youThe problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

Mail Returned That I did not send

A common spamming technique. Of course you want to ignore it and perhaps report it as spam.

I am getting undeliverable mail from people I did not send mail to. How can I get this to stop?
I recently received rejected mail notices from Postmaster that I did not send and are encrytped. My address is being used, and I do not know these web addresses these emails were being sent to. How can I resolve this issue?
We will need more information to be able to assist you.
These message yoy are receiving are probably just a particular type of spam. However it is also possible (unlikely) that your email account is being used to send spam, and that these are the bounce messages.
To tell the difference, you need to look at the email headers. Open the message, then go to the View menu and select Message -> All Headers.
Select the text and post it back here (remembering to obscure your own email address first).

Friends Receiving Texts from Me I Did NOT Send
Apparently over the past week my friends have been getting a strange poem texted from my number that I did not send them, the text does not appear on my iPhone 4S either, the text says:
"because i've taken upon the challenge
to write a book this month
chup and i have resorted to the one
thing we avoid like a mortal enemy:
a schedule.
each hour is designated as a workspace
each day has an ample to do list
we're dedicated to accomplishing
the work.
with my time allotted out
and not much for wiggle room
i am surprised to find how much more
i get done in a day.
yesterday i wrote,
i cooked
i worked
i cleaned
i fed the baby
(interspersing)
i napped
i read books to the children
and just before sunset
we hiked the dusty
shoreline trail.
it makes me wonder
if having a schedule gives me
so much more time,
will my second mortal enemy
(a budget)
give me
more
money?
thanks Page and dog Dixie for the beautiful evening on the trail.
this month I've decided to write a book while simultaneously breastfeeding my baby and battling the postpartum blues. should be a blast. will i get it done?
stay tuned . . "

Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox
Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop as a used phone and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please. Its not fair , apple should figure it out
Regards,
OrangeThis is no different with any carrier locked phone. Getting a carrier locked phone officially unlocked is the responsibility of the carrier, not the cell phone manufacturer. A cell phone manufacture cannot unlock a carrier locked phone without the carrier's authorization.
An iPhone sold as officially unlocked when new can be used by others as a second hand phone, and the same with any carrier locked iPhone that can be unlocked by the carrier, and many carriers offer it. -
Please help me. I have forgotten my security answers on two questions. It is not easy to restore it. Apple support did not send me on my e-mail the answers or did not make opportunity to have as an option to reset my security questions on line.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
