Ok. As I seem to be alone in this section of the site....maybe no one comes in here.....research has led me from a tech lad to a Mac security site. Info is that it's a relatively new hack from China. One poster claimed to have clicked on a Chinese text message and the rest of the texts...

Have now seen more on this on Reddit, and no wonder it's being kept quiet !! Hackers in China hacking people's Apple IDs, sending numerous texts from people's phone and virtually taking over their ID. Apple freezes the ID and some are waiting ages to get back into their accounts etc. The advice...

Hi. I've been seeing several people a day tweeting screenshots of numerous Chinese texts sent from their phones. Apple support are taking these users to DM to discuss this, and it obviously leaves others....me included....wondering how this is happening. Are these iPhones being hacked? The...

Thanks both for the replies. It has me stumped, and no much about mobiles confuses me. It just so random, doesn't happen every time.

I've done a search on this but can't seem to find a thread on it.... Intermittently, when I plug the charger into the lightening port, top left displays No Service. It also does this if I plug the Leef iAccess sd card reader in. The card reader triggers this every time, but the charger is...

Re: Icloud content not showing Hey Vegas, I've had a look at Box cloud storage and Google Drive. Box doesn't seem to have an easy way to transfer photos back to iPad or iPhone, or creating folders that I can find. Seems a bit limited. Google Drive has an app for iPhone and iPad, and is so...

Re: Icloud content not showing I certainly feel like it...font of all knowledge on a previous platform and now beginner status with my little iPhone :D Thanks for helping out whenever I decide to go on each madcap technical mission with my 5s :yes:

That explains it then. And with that explaination come the knowledge that I'm not on a downward spiral of stupidity lol :) Thanks for the link hun...:yes::yes:

I have this problem too. All the settings seem to be correct, but nothing shows in the iCloud app. I thought the iCloud app would work like Google Drive, tap on the app and all cloud photos are there. But there's nothing. Clearly something is wrong in settings or whatever or it makes the...

.I said there are gadgets to put your sd card in to use with the iPhone. At the moment I'm using the iAccess sd card external storage which has my Z10 sd card in it...��

Ex staunch Blackberry user, ex BB FOTM, ex Blackberry Elite...and I have moved to iPhone. BB10 was an amazing OS, needing tweeks to make it one of the strongest out there. But the first hint of trouble came with android runtime. Looks now they might be bowing to pressure and getting ready to...

Re: Discontinued iPhones. Thanks �� That info, added to the 2009 old laptop info has certainly put my mind at rest. When I got my 5s it was a considered purchase. Retired, but financially able to buy outright from Apple, I weighed up the specs of the 5s and my usage....and balanced that...

Re: Discontinued iPhones. Hun, if you are still using something Apple from 2009, that's good enough for me....�� Thanks...��

Re: Discontinued iPhones. Yes, the 5s I've just bought. I love the phone, it's perfect for what I need. The only concern is with software updates is any security elements in the updates. I'm wondering if updates will only be supported for a short time whether I will regret my purchase in a...

Discontinued iPhones. When an iPhone is replaced in the Apple website shop sales line-up, and Apple say that model is now discontinued.....although it is still for sale in/at many other outlets....how long will that device...roughly...keep getting software updates? Hardware support is 5yrs or...
