  • My account has been "disabled" after my credit card expired.  I updated it to buy the additional i cloud storage but now it won't let me do anything!  help, please!

    my credit card expired so my iCloud storage was deactivated.  I updated my credit card and now it not only wont let me purchase more storage, but says my account has been deactivated.  help, please!

    Hi mamamuddpie,
    If your Apple ID account has been disabled, follow the steps below to reset your password and gain access.  There is a link in the article to the Apple ID Security team if you need help with this.  
    If your Apple ID has been locked - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204106
    You might see one of these alerts:
    “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons”
    "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons"
    "This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons"
    If your Apple ID was locked, you can go to iForgot to unlock it with your existing password or reset your password. You can also click the Reset Password or Forgot Password button in the alert. Remember to type your full email address when you're asked to enter your Apple ID. For example, [email protected] or [email protected]. If you use two-step verification for Apple ID, you need to use your recovery key and a trusted device to regain access to your account.
    If you can't reset your password and you don't use two-step verification, contact Apple Support. Update your password in iCloud settings
    After you change your password, you might need to update it in iCloud settings on your devices.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    Tap Edit, if asked.
    Type your new password and tap Done.
    Mac
    Go to Apple menu > System Preferences.
    Click iCloud.
    Click Sign Out.
    Type your new password and click Sign In.
    Windows
    Choose Start > Control Panel.
    Double-click iCloud.
    Click Sign Out.
    Type your new password and click Sign In.
    Email
    If you use an email app to get iCloud email, the app will ask you to enter your new password when you check for mail. If OS X Mail doesn't ask you for your password, check your Mail preferences. For any other mail app, check the app's documentation to get help changing your email password.Update other services, such as iTunes and FaceTime
    If you use your Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, iMessage, Game Center, or FaceTime, you might need to update your password for those services.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Go to Settings and tap the service. 
    Tap your Apple ID. For iMessage, tap Send & Receive and then tap your Apple ID. 
    Tap Sign Out.
    Sign in with your Apple ID and your new password.
    Mac or PC
    If you try to sign in to the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, make a purchase, or update an app, you'll be asked to enter your password.

  • What does it mean when you get a pop up notification saying that a phone number has been associated with your iTunes account? And what does it mean when I don't know the number that is associating with my account? Should I be worried?

    I got a notification stating that a number has been associated with my now old iTunes account and it is a number I do not recognize. Should I be worried at all?

    Yes, if you don't bother to change your password. You may also want to seriously consider turning on two step authentication.

    How can I delete SKYPE to GO???? My account has been hacked and a SKYPE to Go account has been set up with I number I am unable to delete. It has proved impossible to contact anyone at SKYPE to inform them of this and to ask for assistance in deleting the account. My credit card has already been debited for calls I have not made. I am just beginning to realise that SKYPE has very little interest in the security of its customers account.  I would be really grateful for any help the SKYPE community can give me to delete this SKYPE to GO account. If anyone has contact details for SKYPE that would be much appreciated. Many thanks

    Hi, Hannah84000, and welcome to the Community,
    Please keep trying to contact Skype Customer Service.  I have read that people are experiencing problems reaching them, however try using a different browser, and be on the alert to accept a pop-up dialogue box window that would appear if you are directed to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
    People are getting through; sometimes is takes more than one or two attempts.  Skype is aware of this.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

    My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out.  I tried the email link - didn't receive an email.   So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..  How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again?   Help. 

    Hi JkeeneSoldano,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    From:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

    I can't sign into face time. My account has been verified and I have full wifi signal but it comes up with check network connection how to i fix this?

    What IP does your iPad show as having?
    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo.
    Some folks have discovered that changing their DNS service fixes FaceTime connection issues.
    The ideal way is to configure your modem/router with DNS service, but often settings in System Preferences/Network on your Mac will override the router settings. Try either of these;
    OpenDNS

    Hello
    I have a VeriStand-Project (VSP) created with my Laptop-Host (LTH) which works with my PXI, while
    deploying it from my LTH. Then I have installed the whole NI enviroment for PXI and VeriStand use on a
    industrial PC (iPC). I have tried to deploy my VSP from the iPC to the PXI but the following error
    message arose on my iPC:
    The VeriStand Gateway encountered an error while deploying the System Definition file.
    Details: Error -1074384569 occurred at Project Window.lvlibroject Window.vi >> Project

    Definition file... • Connection with target Controller has been lost.
    The software versions of the NI products (MAX/My System/Software) between my LTH and the iPC are
    almost the same. The only differences are:
    1. LabView Run-Time 2009 SP1 (64-bit); is installed on LTH but missing on iPC. The iPC has a 32-bit system.
    2. LabView Run-Time 2012 f3; is installed on LTH but missing on iPC.
    3. NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.3.5; something strage on the LTH, because normally I am using NI-DAQmx 9.5.5 and all other DAQmx products on my LTH are 9.5.5. That means NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5.. On the iPC side all three products are 9.5.5.. That means NI-DAQmx ADE Support 9.5.5, NI-DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5 and NI-DAQmx Configuration 9.5.5..
    4. Traditional NI-DAQ 7.4.4; The iPC has this SW installed. On the LTH this SW is missing.
    In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
    1. LabVIEW Real-Time 11.0.1
    2. NI-488.2 RT 3.0.0
    3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
    Unfortunately the above stated problem still arose.
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    I found a hint on http://www.labviewforum.de/Thread-XNET-CAN-die-ersten-Gehversuche.
    There it is written to deploy the dbc file againt.
    If this is a good hint, so how do I deploy a dbc file?
    I would feel very pleased if somebody could help me! :-)
    Best regards
    Lukas Nowak

    Hi Lukas,
    I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
    NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
    NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
    You wrote:

    3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
    NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.
