text message asking me to check the apple ID

I got a strange text today telling me to hit a link to check my apple ID.  Has anyone seen this?  Looked suspicious.

I didn't think that apple would send this

Earlier in the week, I saw another post like this.

Texts like that will always be scams. Delete it and block the number.

Apple communicates mainly by e-mail. Occasionally, by phone call, but only if you call AppleCare for help already. I've never heard used text messaging.

  • Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name.

    I am connected to wifi in the hotel (Orange) and I can't SEND email, I just have to receive them.

    Whenever I update "send/receive" a message asking me to write the network password and user name. This from my mail server (not orange because that one is ok I have access to the internet).

    Most of the suppliers do not let you send if you are not connected through them, or they have special settings.  So for now, see if you can access your e-mail via webmail and use this interface and in the future, contact your ISP and ask them if there is a way to send emails when you are connected through a different network.

    Error message "WIndows cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running, you may need to restart your computer.

    I am currently using windows 32 bit vist

    I rebooted, I changed the settings, I don't have a file called window update service in the service section to stop and start, I tried the fix programs, I'm out of ideas and I need help!

    Suggestions?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    I suggest you try these methods and check.

    Method 1:

    Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update. You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:
    How to reset the Windows Update components?
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

    Method 3: If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, click computer.

    b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log
    Where 'C' is the drive of operating system
    c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

    I have vista Home premium with IE9. I burned some media files on a dvd - r. However when I tried to burn another point, I have a display message asking me to format the drive.

    Did you close (or complete) of the DVD when burn you first your files on it? If you do not email us any more data on DVD-R, you will need to use a second DVD-R disc.

  • In Windows Mail, journal on security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password.

    Original title: "Windows Security".

    I have Vista Home Premium with SP 2. In Windows Mail, logon security keeps popping up asking me to check the user name and password. This happens from time to time for many months and I've always got to work but happened several times today.  I can sign in the server through my ISP and get email. In Windows mail, I confirmed that the name of username-password is the same that I connect through the ISP.  I can't front/send by email but receive in Windows mail.

    Server response: '-ERR [IN USE] account is locked by another session or for maintenance, try again.',

    So wait a while and try again later.  You can also go to their website and log on there to see if it works.

    Also try to compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/)

  • You can send a text message without that it alerts the receiving party.

    Hello

    The reason why I ask this question is I work a very broad time, which is very different, so most of the people, as I work for myself and honestly put in a large number of hours. So I'm the biggest part of the day and don't sleep around 4-5 hours per day, if this (but I take care of myself), made in good health, and I talked to a lot of doctors and weight trainers. But my main question is, I have to send a lot of messages to people everywhere in different time zones and sometimes in different countries. So I was wondering if there was a way to send you a text message without it alerts the receiving end, so he does not wake up, just in case they have forgotten to put not to bother, because I feel always horrible when I wake someone to say Estonia at 05:00 when its 22:00 here. And I'm on a lot of people in Estonia to this fact and throughout the EU. I would be very happy to have any kind of response, and if they do not have this feature, it is absolutely something that Apple should install in their section do not disturb, it would be very useful for many people like me who do business around the world and work long hours, because I'm sure they are more of us out there so I know Laughing out loud.
    See you soon,.

    No, you can't control how other people chose to be alerted to their messages. This isn't a feature that apple might add that notifications are exclusively under the control of the receiving phone.

  • Why Firefox «ask» when I checked the box 'don't ask me '?

    When you try to open media as something of an email, Firefox always shows me the window asking me to check which software program to use when opening the file, even though I checked what, to use and the box 'don't ask me. " I also checked the box 'always use this program ". It is very annoying.

    This occurs because the file that you download is an accessory, so Firefox will always ask you what you want to do with the file.

    This is a security feature, since attachments can often contain harmful files. So there's no way to automatically open an attachment without asking you first. This box can be confusing when it appears in a download of attachments, given that the setting does not apply to the attachments.

  • How can I check the Apple on Apple Watch pay transactions

    I use Apple Watch to pay for public transit.

    How can I check the transactions I do using Apple Watch?

    Hello

    It is not currently possible to view your transaction history pay Apple on Apple Watch. Confirmation of transactions is provided timely via your card / bank statements (as it would if you were using the card directly).

    Apple pay collects no information concerning the transaction that can be linked to you. Payment transactions are between you and the Merchant (or the application for payments within applications developer) and your card issuer.

    If you have the same payment card added to pay Apple on an iPhone or an iPad, then it is possible that payments made through this same map on your watch can be included in the history of transactions (the last 10 transactions) that is displayed in the application portfolio on your other devices. Depending on the issuer of your card:

    • You can only view transactions made with this device, or;
    • You can see all transactions made using this payment card account (including its use via Apple pay on all devices and the use of the actual card).

    When you view a map in the application of portfolio (by pressing the card), the latest transaction will appear under the photo on the card. To see the 10 last transactions, then press the 'i' icon in the bottom right of the screen.

    If you prefer that the transaction history is available on your watch, you can inform Apple here:
