• Phone call from pirate

  Saturday, I received a phone call from a guy who claims to be a MS tech.  Said my computer was infected by the virus and has been ready to send malicious virus anywhere on the internet.  He actually gave me what he claimed, it was my computer ID... which he had to prove that he was who he said he was.  It really looks like a pirate for me call.  I hung up the phone.  Am I correct that Microsoft Techs don't make these calls?

• When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk. How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?

  I have Windows 7 Professional.  Used it on my PC and then I had to buy a new Dell computer, as my old PC blew the motherboard.  The new Dell came with 8.1 if I want to install 7 on my wife's computer, as it did in Win98.   When I did this it called my disabled factory or pirated disk.   How can I take my PC off the product key and got my other PC for its use?

  If Windows 7 Professional is pre-installed on your Dell computer, it cannot be transferred. If it is a license purchased at a retail store, he transfer rights.

  A computer running Windows 98 is perhaps not powerful enough to run Windows 7.

  * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

  * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

  * 16 GB of disk space available (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

  * Peripheral figure DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

  How to transfer a retail license.

  Click Start, type: CMD
  Right-click on CMD
  Click on run as administrator
  At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs - upk

  Press enter, this will uninstall the product key of the computer and to the evaluation mode, you are now free to use it on another computer. If you experience problems, try to activate by phone:
  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

• Have I been scammed? -Received a call from Windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer

  I just got a call from windows saying pirates were trying to get access to my computer and asked me to go to the run menu and type eventvwr and go to security and count the red Xs and yellow triangles, after that I said I was under 18, they told me to wait for their phone call.  They also said that they were in England in the Department in charge of piracy (not the exact words), I was wondering if it was a scam because (don't not to sound racists but) they sounded to the East Indies and I read on some other getting calls of the people of the East Indies and it didn't sound like a normal call center because there was a lot of noise in the background it all seemed a bit suspicious to me.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Pirate phone? Sending texts via my #, but not for me

  I received a text from an unknown number today - when I went to check what I saw three messages NOT sent by me to the number (see photo). The only other device connected to my iphone 6 is my ipad that was with me all day today. I was in my apartment alone all day and there is no chance that someone could have used my phone to send these messages. My phone has been hacked? What might explain these texts ghosts?

• Apple has taken $16.63 my account for an application called Kings of Pirate and I do not have the game on my phone.

  Apple has taken $16.63 my account for an application called Pirate Kings. The problem is I don't have the game on my phone and I've never played the game at all. I recived an email with the front desk saying that I bought a few different things to the game at 6 in the morning on 07/11/2017 and to whom I was sound asleep. I don't think it's just that I want my money that I never brought anything off here

• IMessage will use the telephone number; use a colurriel instead

  I had no service iphone since February, so I only use imessage on wifi. Today, however, he ceased to imessages send my phone number, and I don't know what to do. I tried to turn on and off imessage but it said activation pending and send & receive there is a circle of loading of my phone number and number highlighted grey. I've never had this happen before that I am at a loss

  UH I have never asked a question here but: iPhone 5. 64G, about 38 available; I don't know what everything is on my phone :-/

  This is perhaps the reason for your question?  You use an iPhone that has no telephone service?  So you have no cellular carrier currently associated with the iPhone?  Yet, you want to use this phone number non-functional as the mechanism for your iMessages?

• In input/out live telephone calls have "broken" sound only after updating to iOS 9.3 update on 6, please help...

  All entry/out live telephone calls have 'broken' sound only & unable to play the music on my phone after update to iOS 9.3 update on 6, please help...

  Hi there dmaclatchy,

  It sounds slipped you can not use the app phone on your phone, because the sound is uneven or inaudible and something is happening with your music do not let play. I want to quit all applications running on the phone:

  Force an app to close the iOS

  1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
  2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
  3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

  When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

  iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset
  
  If the problem persists, save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.
  
  How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

  If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself. Let us know how it goes! Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

• has anyone successfully recovered a pirate apple id

  My ID apple was hacked from China last week. It happened in the middle of the night, so by the time I discovered that they had changed my password, date of birth, email recovery security questions and purchased a few apps: sina IM subscriptions, or something.

  I called the apple support as soon as I found out, but it was too late. All they could do was ask me a question of safety, I had never put in place. They said that they would have to go to the technical team and they would get back to me even though they knew more.

  It was a week ago, and I heard nothing. I called a couple times more support, but all they can do is go on the same process until you get to the part of security question and then... crickets.

  So this happened to someone else, you got your account successfully return, how long did take, and how do you know it was fixed? Should I just cut my losses and start over with a new apple ID?

  Thank you

  (The display of the account of my wife because actually posting here without your ID :-() impossible)

  Hello

  I was hacked from China last night. Even though I have reset my password, I can't change the Questions of security (which are in Chinese) or any other crucial information such as date of birth and other means of authentication...

  Trying to access the Apple support via the web, which brings me to the Chinese site... And there is a significant lack of language support on Apple's Chinese site.

  In addition, this problem of access to assistance from Apple is far too often:

  Service temporarily unavailable

  I got 4 emails from Apple support (in Chinese). Cat contact support out there to talk about these cases that opened when my ID got stolen. They responded quickly, but simply directed me to call (1-800-263-3394) account security team.

  I guess if I knew how to hack my way back as the pirates did with my account, I have managed to do so via a few simple apple support tickets. It seemed to work for them...

  Finally, all the purchase were made as purchase app for this shit:

  https://iTunes.Apple.com/ca/app/yy-Quan-min-Zhi-Bo-Shi-pin/id427941017?Mt=8

  $ 25,28

  $ 6.99

  $ 3.99

  $ 1.39

  $ 1.39

  $ 1.39

  $ 1.39

  Total: $ 41.82

  It is very close to the balance that I had left in my Itune Store generic. (Fortunately, no PayPal or Visa are related to my ID)

  This! @# application developer seems not legitimate at all...

  in any case, I'll post back when / if things are put in order or not.

  you're going to want to spend time with security support now... Oh joy!

  Edit: Surprise! Apple support have to sleep! Im going to have to wait until 07:00.

  /Cheers
