  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Windows Update cannot check the updates because of the error code 80070002.

    Hi, I have a 64-bit Windows Vista, Microsoft Service Pack 1.

    My Windows Update stops errors whenever I have trying to update. This has happened for a while now, maybe 4-5 months? However, since there is no reason that I needed to update, I just let go.

    Then I realized that because of this error, my iTunes won't work; during installation, there is an error with the same numbers: 80070002. I really need to use iTunes, and it won't work.

    I checked the system for errors and renamed, but it has not fixed no problem.

    Please, how can I solve this problem?

    Hi xgbearfsho,

    If you receive the error Windows Update 80070002 of updates, you must remove the temporary files to update that Windows uses to identify updates for your computer. To remove temporary files, stop the Windows Update service, delete the temporary update files, restart the Windows Update service and then try to check for Windows updates again.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-Error-80070002

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you install service pack 2 for Windows vista on the computer and check if this solves the problem of update.

  • Firefox 17, text on screen is not be re-written correctly when erasing the background is necessary, highlighting the text may update and correct the problem

    I had to downgrade to Firefox version 16.02 to solve this problem.

    Since Firefox version 17 out there is a problem with the screen fonts not being re-written correctly when a background clear condition occurs in Windows is caused by an overlap of another application window or scrolling the active window in firefox.

    If the text is highlighted using the right button of the mouse and then the text is correctly updated, just scroll up and down does not solve the problem.

  • Windows Update cannot check the updates because the service is not running

    Hi again,

    Sorry to be a pain but I'm really worried. I kept getting the message above and posted here to get help to put it right. I have a Dell Windows Vista 32 bit laptop.
    1. I tried all the solutions proposed except the registry clean (that because I am such a novice I got scared to be honest, when I made things even worse).
    2. the 'fix - it' of microsoft tool gave me these results:
    "The location where Windows stores of data updates has changed and needs to be repaired"
    "One or more components of windows update are configured incorrectly"
    When I first noticed the problem I could at least see what date the last update has been on who was may 2. Now I can't find no history of editing at all, it seems to have been deleted.
    I was looking at some of the other posts regarding the non getting updates and I'm worried because one of the posts says something about the effects of a highjackware infection and that in no case if the person to connect to the internet. That I have. I did not visit banks or bought something, but I've been browsing and checking hotmail.
    Please is - can anyone give me some advice or at least put my mind at rest.
    The other thing I should mention, is that I've been running a current Norton product that recently played upward. I had to uninstall Norton, and I immediately turned on the windows firewall and installed AVG. All responses will be greatly appreciated and if anyone can put my mind at rest all compromise my safety, I'll be very grateful.  Thank you very much...

    I will close this request. I took the machine to a local computer repairer. After lengthy discussions I scrapped from the computer, it will cost more to fix than its value.

  • Firefox said I need to update Java plugin 2 but there is no update available on the Apple software update. On the Java site, I found that I use version 29 which is clean for snow leopard. Should I switch to Lion and use version 31?

    Apple today released an update to Java version, so you should run software update to get security fixes.

  • Check the Apple ID server connection failed

    It is a PAIN.  There are a few steps, so please read it before you answer.

    I got a Macbook Pro, iPad, and iPhone.  NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

    I just bought a refurb Macbook Pro from Apple.  Since then, I can't connect with my old Macbook Pro.  I tried via iCloud, iCloud.com, iTunes and on the OLD Macbook, it will not sign.  I disconnected all devices, changed my password length to meet the new requirements and able to connect back with no problem on all my devices except my old Macbook Pro.

    None of this was a problem before three weeks ago, I added a refurb Macbook Pro from Apple.

    Any thoughts?

    I'm sorry.  I also forgot to mention that I am referring to my APPLE ID.

    Have you tried to use the Microsoft Fix It tool to reset the Windows Update components for you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058?

    If this does not work, try to run the Microsoft OneCare safety scanner.  Sometimes it will solve problems of hidden registry, or can clear the virus that can prevent the installation of the patches: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/whatsnew.htm. Click full service scan, and then Quick scan (full scan takes a long time to complete). Try the patches.
