problems of Apple osx 10.5.8

WORRIED

Mac OSX 10.5.8 support contacted me. Said more than 4,000 defects with the computer. Forced me to punch in

www.logmein123.com, then they had access to my computer.

After about an hour, they wanted me to pass on to $299.

It doesn't look good for me, wanting my bank details?

Also mentioned a r e virus

What should I do?

Copy all my files on a USB key, and then delete every thing.

Put back the old apple discs in and re boot the entire system.

Get rid of the computer.

As you can probably gather now I'm desperate enough to all of this, in my 60 years trying to learn

A few help - advise would be appreciated.

Thanks m

You have been scammed by a phishing attack. It wasn't a valid service call. They are just hacker.

Change all of your passwords.

Call your Bank and tell them that you have been scammed. Ask the to cancel all your credit cards and issue new ones.

Reformat the disk and restore a backup taken before the attack.

If you do not have a backup and then reformat the drive and reinstall OS x from the installation DVD.

  • Impossible to import pix in Lightroom if you use Apple OSX (El Capitan)

    Since upgrading my Mac OS x (El Capitan), pix imported automatically get downloaded to Apple app 'Photos' instead of Lightroom, which I use regularly (for years). What needs to be done to send images directly to Lightroom instead, as before?   I made the change in the Image Capture, assigning the value 5.5 Lightroom (version I use), but still get a message that the files "cannot be imported because they cannot be read.

    It is certainly a common problem!  Who found the solution?

    Cindy

    Ok!  I found the problem - and the solution!  The auxiliary drive, sure that my photos are is based NTSF, and Mac OSX El Capitan does not write (i.e. import) to it. BUT the software called "Paragon NTFS for Mac 14' corrects this - and I am now finally able to use Lightroom again after upgrade to El Capitan!

    Thank you very much, Joe, for your guidance and your support!

  • Problem loading Apple Watch sport

    Hello everyone

    Since last week (after update watch OS) do not charge my Apple Watch sport

    more than a minute...

    After a minute, I get an error message saying that 'charge with. "

    This accessory is not supported"even I use the original White

    Magnetic charger and I've never had such an error before.

    I tried to disable the twinning and restart the watch it dosent help

    any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try charging your watch once again. In doing so, check that:

    • All the plastic film was removed from both ends and both sides of the cable support (consult closely on the head of the charger).

    • On the back of your watch and the head of the charge cable are clean and dry (clean with an abrasive, lint cloth).
    • The head of the load is properly aligned with the back of the watch, with the concave side / curve touch fully:
      • Some docks of watch, brackets, cases or protectors might hinder it. If you use one of these accessories, try to load the watch by plugging it directly into the charging cable, without using the.
    • If possible, test using a different Apple genuine magnetic Charging Cable (for example, by borrowing one from a friend).
    • If you reload your watch by plugging the cable into the socket:
      • Check that the magnetic charge cable Apple USB connector is fully engaged in the USB power adapter.
      • Check that the USB power adapter is fully committed in the socket.
      • Try to use different maps of the following:
        • Adapter USB Apple that was provided with the watch, or;
        • A 5W Apple (iPhone) or 12W (iPad) USB power adapter, or;
        • A third-party certified 5W (MFi) Apple USB power adapter.
      • Try using a different take (one that is known to work properly).
    • If no other suitable adapters are available, try to load by plugging the cable into a USB port.
      • If loading via a USB port on a computer, make sure that you use a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, the computer remains turned on and awake, and the cable is plugged directly into the computer (not on, for example, an external keyboard).

    If you identify a problem with a particular component (adapter, cable, or watch) or the question otherwise persists, contact Apple support (mail service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to have your products verified and, if recommended by Apple, served (either under warranty or through a service fee and out-of-warranty):

    To check your warranty status (the serial number is on the back of your watch):

  • Problem signature Apple ID

    In fact, my problem is that I can't connect to iTunes or iCloud by using my on my iPhone apple ID 6. The error message I get is that the password I enter is incorrect. After trying so many times my account got locked. So I ironed my password. The only thing is that even after resetting my password, I still can not login to my account because of "bad account or password". However, using the iTunes on my computer, I can access my account without any problem. To be sure, I logged on my account using a different iPhone and the connection was successful. Then, after that, I got suspicious that the issue might be with my iPhone, so I registered using a different apple on my iPhone ID and sign-in has been a success. I turned my iPhone off and ironed it, but nothing worked. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

  • PROBLEMS WITH APPLE ID - SECURITY ISSUES

    3 June 2016 - San Miguel de Tucuman, Tucuman, Argentina

    Hello, my name is Augusto Arnone and I contacted you to Argentina through this message because, as you can now, Apple has no official support here in my country. Mainly I send this mail because I'm having trouble with my apple ID.

    Not long, I was in the USA and I bought a $50 iTunes card, those you can trade on your account. When I downloaded this money on my account and try to buy it, because it was my first time, ITUNES asked me my SECURITY QUESTIONS, which I answered as I though I did when I created them but I found out that the answers are false then ITUNES asked me to use my BACKUP E-MAIL, which i don't remember the password.

    I'll send you know if there is any chance to solve this problem, maybe change my email BACKUP, because I can't use the money I just put in the account and also cannot use the account in my other apple devices because it is blocked. I can provide any personal information to prove that I am the owner of this account and that he really belongs to me.

    Hoping you can see my personal case, I thank you for your attention.

  • iPhone SE & 6 problems with Apple Watch of pairing

    My iPhone 6 has done and continues to pair with Apple Watch; However, it will pair with the iPhone OS. It will start to pair up with the SE, but when you select the prompt to "Apple Watch configuration" message then indicating there is no pair. I have re-paired and unpaired with my iPhone 6 without any problem, so that tells me that there is a problem SE. I can pair the SE with my car and my macbook and I have no problem.

    Everyone knows this? I spoke with the Apple Support by phone, and we could not even solve the problem.

    I started having this problem with my new iPhone SE. The Apple Watch already associated with my iPhone 5 and just improved to the SE. worked for about a week and matching seems to have started to somehow lose the connection. I can see the bluetooth icon on the iPhone lighting several times as if detected his watch but nothing. I'm trying to pair with the camera on the iPhone and place the watch in the viewfinder does nothing, it does not detect read / that sound here. I also did the manual of twinning with the code and the code never happened on the watch. I even reset the watch and phone and nothing.

  • problems with Apple ID and ID cloud

    OK, I'm really frustrated.  I tried to find an IPHONE is missing today and even though I had turned on the "Find my phone" feature, I was unable to use it.  Long story short, I found the phone in my apartment without function, and now I want to make sure that the feature works in case I need int the future.  This led to the following problem. I try to log in to cloud on my MACBOOK and I get the message "incorrect password", if I click on the links to reset my password for my Apple ID.  But then, after his release, when I try to go to the site iCloud.com/find I get delivers a message that my cloud is disabled because of password and that choose me a new password for my "Apple ID" again.  I use the same identifiers for the cloud and my Apple and the passwords used to be the same thing but for some reason, my old password "cloud" and my new (or should I say the last 10 or 12 new passwords generated during the last 2 hours will not work.  This iCloud/find the page says that I have to reset my Apple ID, even though I just did!  There must be a way out of this loop!
