Apple ID/pirate iMessage. Messages sent to China. What should I do now?
Today, I received an alert that my ID Apple had been used for sign in a MacBook Air (I don't own one), a very strange name.
Shortly after, I went into my iMessages and seen this activity:
Did some research and discovered these were all indicative Beijing sent. This is the message that was sent:
I immediately changed my password, but now I'm worried, maybe I need to do anything else to the security update. I use the portfolio to apple and other features that have highly sensitive information, so this type of hack makes me very nervous. Are there other actions that I take, and someone else had this or something similar happens?
Have you read the first message from Apple?
.. . If you do not sign & trust someone access your account...
... go to appleid.apple.com and change your password.
It is always best to avoid trusting any unsolicited message, but Apple seems to have been legitimate (at least the "apple id" address is correct).
Looks like your password has been found or guessed, since Apple ID accounts often have details of credit or Bank attached I would get back immediately, also check your other accounts online - especially if you use the same password anywhere else.

However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.
15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.
So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

Hi Joseeyk67276640,
'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server. From the following link, please download the version of Illustrator, you need: other downloads
Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.
Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:
Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.
C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.
You can use a utility to extract the 7z or gz to unzip.
Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)
Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.
Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html

I downloaded the free app Adobe Content Viewer, but when I try to connect, I get an error message "authentication failure". What should I do to fix this?
Did you go digitalpublishing.acrobat.com, connect with the Adobe ID and accept the terms of use? If this is not the case, do using a computer. You can't do this from a mobile device. This is not an automatic process, you must do it manually.

I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.
The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

When I woke up yesterday morning after charging my ipad I just couldn't turn my ipad until I plugged in the laptop... worked well
Yet once, I woke up this morning it's the same thing, but now all I see is a dim apple logo and it will turn back not... do not update AFAIK.
Does that mean and what should I do?
Try a forced reboot and see if that fixes it. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Windows not genuine message: what should I do now?
First of all, I have a lot of files I don't want to lose, and am not a computer expert. As in many other such problems shown here, I get the black screen and "Non-genuine Windows" - this after a year of use, using what seems to me to be the copy of windows 7 Pro sealed. I called Microsoft last night and the person (foreign) told me that the key I had was only good for a year! Is it still possible?
Then, I want to solve this problem as simple as possible and will pay for the new key if necessary. I don't want to do s to start a day long process that causes my existing data getting lost. Y at - it an easy solution for a non-geek?
Download and run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool:

Currently I have Windows XP, but cannot install Windows 8 Pro upgrade.
If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.
Have you tried to boot from the disk and make a custom installation?
Boot from the DVD Windows 8
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)
Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
