Have just opened up my iPad and have a lot of emails that are filling up my inbox with no names or content saying no sender.some from 1970 when I didn't even know about computers.
I have googled and found this has gone on for a while,but they won't delete.
Anyone else had this problem? The help forums .I have looked at don't seem to have an answer...help!!

Found this seems it needs a "hard Reset" detailed in the text box in the report.

And we thought the "Millennium Bug" was a false alarm, it's clearly laid dormant till now! :-D :-D :-D

Millennium bug was not a false alarm - the truth is people like my husband spent a part of 1999 checking and rechecking all the computers and all the peripherals to them to make sure they continued after midnight. They also had to make sure the computers accepted 2000 was a leap year.

Thousands of IT workers made sure all the ATM, air traffic, electricity, gas and all the other main computers could cope and if not either replaced or modified programmes. My husband had all his computers (air defence) checked by February 1999. There was also visits from teams from government going around checking it all had been done well before New Year's Eve.

The result is people now don't believe there could have been a great problem but what would have happened if all these main computers had gone back to a default date instead of 1 January 2000. :-S

Hi, I had that problem a while ago and some advice I read said to change your password, which I did - no more weird emails!! They were driving me nuts, sometimes 100s over night!! Good luck.
