I started my browser and found I was logged in - as someone else!

I went to my Chrome browser, to log in to Microsoft Connect and submit an error report to Microsoft. I found I was logged in as someone called "mousewriter". Nobody but me has access to my laptop, and I never heard of "mousewriter". I
did a google search and found "mousewriter" as a member of technet.
Does this mean I'm hacked?

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

I keep receiving Reset email password emails. The most recent one was actually addressed to someone else... i.e. the name in the email not the email address. why is this happening??

I keep receiving Reset email password emails.

That's probably because it's been sent out to a Bcc'd mailing list and that's the name on the main version. This is so that you don't see the other names.
If it doesn't come from something @apple.com then it's spam. Even if it appears to it's probably spam. If you want to change your password go directly to http://appleid.apple.com - do not follow any links in the email (even if they appear to lead to that address.)

Restored my iPhone and now I get random prompts for someone else's Apple ID password.

I restored my iPhone just a few hours ago and started it up and i restored my phone to the icloud backup and everything started re downloading and such. It asked for two passwords to apple ID's that were connected to apps that I had downloaded. Then it asked for the password to two of my friends apple accounts and two of my brothers accounts. Which didn't make sense to me because I had never downloaded anything using those accounts. I then tried restoring it again, and the same exact thing happened again! What do I do??? It's stopping me from doing things like downloading all my pictures, and all my music. And it won't stop asking me for the passwords every time I turn on my phone.

Try to download the apps that you bought via WiFi onto your phone and skip the ones you did not buy.
Make sure you are loged in with the correct data in Settings/iTunes and App Stores/Apple ID.

How do i transfer information from one iPad to another as I recently bought a new one and want to give the original to someone else.

I bought an iPad 2 in May without 3G and recently decided I wanted that feature so bought a new one with 3G. I want to give the original to someone else, but need to know how to transfer my data and apps to the new one and "wipe" the other so it doesn't include any personalized information. How do i do that?

The sync should backup the iPad as Fred said but take no chances.
Connect your iPad and let it sync. Then right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases. After that completes, right click on the iPad name again and select Backup. After that completes sync one last time and disconnect the iPad.
When the new iPad arrives, before you connect the iPad - launch iTunes and turn off auto sync. From the menu at the top go to File>Preferences>Devices> and check "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes and activate the device. Then after setting up the iPad - right click on the iPad name on the left side - select Restore - restore from Backup -the backup of your old iPad. When it finishes - go into each tab in iTunes and make sure that you have everything that you want to put on the iPad selected to sync - by putting a checkmark in all of the headings - Sync Apps, Sync Music, Sync Photos, etc. Then select all of the content that you want in each of those tabs and then sync by selecting Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
If you have the opportunity to restore from the backup when going through the activation process- restore then and there. I can't remember if iTunes will ask if you want to restore from the backup but if so - go ahead and do it.

Hello lesley142
To sign out of what ever Apple ID is signed in, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then tap the Apple ID and you will see an option to sign out.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Complete all recommended updates before restarting your browser /web page will not loading. please help me

Man, that gave me high hopes. Sadly, reverting to the last firmware version didn't resolve it, which I guess isn't too much of a surprise as I had been using those sites for quite some time after the latest update.
for what it's worth, if anyone is having the same experience and wants to try that solution, I found some instructions on how to revert to a previous firmware version:

Hi John..
Looks like you have a pirated app installed.
This may help > NGPixel » Mac App Store – “You have updates available for other accounts” bug
Please report the issue to Apple here.

HT1937 Why is It when I sighn In to my iTunes account and try to update it asked me to log in to someone else's iTunes account.

When I log into my iTunes account enter MY email & password then go to update my apps it asked to to enter a whole different iTunes account email & password of a current friend instead of my own. We put in her info then says to enter payment information but I don't want to enter my card information on her account. Please help.

This means the app or apps you want to update were downloaded with your friend's iTunes account or Apple ID.
All apps, all paid and free apps included DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps.

My phone was synched up to someone else's computer how can I change this?

My phone was plugged into someone eles's mac book pro and now their apple id is on my phone. How can I change this without losing everything on my phone (photos, apps, music, etc.)?

Re-sync it with iTunes on your computer.
Any apps and other iTunes content transferred from the other computer will be erased first, which is not your iTunes content.

I have created a .m4v file from iPhoto and would like to share it with someone else knowing that the file is quiet large (86 Mo), i used to share file with mobileme, how Can I do that with iCloud ? or another way....

In iphoto, I have create a diaporama which I exported to itunes as a m4v file. I would like to share this file with someone but it is too big to send it via email (84 Mo). This file is now in my films in itunes. Is there a way to share it via icloud.
I used to share files using mobileme which I cannot use anymore.
Thanks for your help,

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

I started my browser and found I was logged in - as someone else!
