An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user.  If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

    Hi Mahmoudmuhmd,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The telephone number on your Apple ID is tied to iMessages.  You may need to change the password for your Apple ID account to prevent others from using it.  Here are some articles that will help with this:

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
    Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

  • How to view what are all programs maped with the event....

    I am new to this events concept - could you please say

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sam,
    See these links:
    How-to trigger a process chain using ABAP?
    Re: scheduling process chain 3 specific times a day
    NOTE: If you want to trigger the process chain from R/3, there are many examples in this forum. However, since the search function is not working now, I suggest you look at OSS Note 135637. This will show you how to do it also.
    Hope this helps.
    concerning to sm64 ..
    Triggering events manually ...
    Events let you start background jobs when particular changes in the R/3 System take place. When an event occurs, the background processing system starts all jobs that were scheduled to wait for that event.
    example : JOB_OPEN to create a background job..
    When scheduling a background job, you can specify it to start "after event".
    If you do so, you'll have to create an event in SM62.
    If a job is scheduled after event event and you trigger the event with SM64, the job will start.
    Events can be raised by external systems in SAP by sending a command to a SAP application server. You can also raise event in any program using function mosule BP_EVENT_RAISE.
    Reward if helpful.

  • Why does my email on I message come up on someone else's phone?

    I have the iPod touch 5G and when I send A iMessage, it shows my email. I want to know how to change it so people don't get my email

    Go to the Contacts app and add yourself as a contact. Make sure you add the email address that you associated with Messages. It is by default the Apple ID email address

  • Twitter is on updates under someone else's name

    I never downloaded twitter or had any use for it. Software updates says I need to update witter and it's under someone elses name (?). Maybe I opened an email that installed twitter, but than where is Twitter on my MacBookPro?
    I searched for twitter and found twitter icons that I deleted. There are no other listings for Twitter. I checked preferences in both the base and my own.
    How can I get rid of the update for twitter that I do not have?

  • How can someone put their number under someone else's name in an iphone without touching the phone

    Ok, so last week on saturday my wife called and asked me why I facetimed her.  Well I never facetimed her and didn't have an accidental call to her at all.  I didn't think anything of it.  Well later that day she called me again very upset saying there someone facetiming me from your number and it was someone elses picture on the other end.  So we called sprint and they reser our  network setting and said call apple support.  Called apple support they said change all passwords and sign up for that duel security option.  Well no one asked us to have her look in her phone and see if there's another number in her phone under my contact info.  So I asked her to look and what do you know there's another number under my contact in my wife's phone.  Now theres no way she accidentally added in a number to my contact.   We know the face and name of the Asian Indian man who called us because sprint told us his name and we've seen his face because he facetimed and my wife saw his face.  We don't known him at all.  The weird part is that the number hes calling from is the same area code that we live in.  So that makes it extra creepy.  We figured he hacked in some how and was sitting somewhere in Asia....  I hope this all makes some since to someone who can tell us how my wife's iPhone 5s contact list was changed by a man who is phone stalking her???

    It can't be tracked by serial number, if can only potentially be tracked via Find My iPad - if that has been disabled, as you say in your post, then you won't be able to try and locate it.
    You've reported it to the police ? If your iTunes account info has been changed then you should contact Support in your country so that you can try and get it back : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    You should also change your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

    Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

    if anyone can help thanks

    I have the identical issue. Open a project that was fine 12 hours earlier. Now I open the project and all my clips and subclips show up in the browser, but the timeline is empty. Click on sequence 1 - empty. I tried switching my scratch disk from the original external drive to another one that was a mirror copy of the first - changed the scratch disk location. Then had the issue with no sequence data in the timeline. Reverted to original external drive and scratch disk location. Same problem - no sequence data. I can open other previous projects and they're fine. I don't have multiple sequences in my projects - I just build in the timeline, if that has anything to do with the problem. This is very strange. Appreciate any help anyone has.

  • How do I change the fact that my iMessage now lists my email address to reply to instead of phone number or name?

    How do I change the fact that my iMessage now lists my email address to reply to instead of phone number or name?

    Wrong number in iMessage
    simple fix
    go to settings- messages - send and receive- select the numbers and emails you want to use - deselect the ones you don't need
    Peace, Clyde
    if you cant check or uncheck these do this turn imessage off then
    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request.

    I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request in order to buy the product it's so irritating I'm about to just do a different product altogether... anyone know how to get or bypass the serial number request?

    You must first make the purchase, then you will receive the serial number you are asking about.  YOu do not acquire the serial number thru the software.  You acquire it thru the purchase, possibly via a follow-up confirmation  email.
