Abuse of Apple account

My Apple ID has been abused to buy apps from the app store. I'm not able to report the problem directly in iTunes and my fastlane ticket was closed. The support obviously thought I had a connection problem. What is the best and fastest way to solve this issue and get the money back?

Hi Grandpa,
It seems like a legitimate question to me.
As someone willing to test iChat with others I get lots of Text chats as most people are polite enough to ask before doing a Video chat.
Like you I blocked the account and had no more problems.
After awhile I was able to remove the name from the block list and have not been bothered again.
Sending feedback was also a good idea.
Info Like this is always useful to all that read it about what is going on "Out There" that we need to be cautious of.

  • HT201342 Merge apple accounts

    I have several apple accounts, I use only one but occaisionally get pushed into one of the fallow accounts by accident. 
    Years ago I had a me.com account.  At some point in my apple purchases I got connected to an apple ID attached to my gmail account.  I have been using that ever since, this is where I have all my purchases (apps, books, music, videos...) so obviously I am going to stay with that account.  I tried to setup icloud on my computer to sync all my data but it would not allow me to connect to the previous icloud account, which was simply converted from my me.com account.  Instead I was forced to create yet another icloud account with a different spelling.
    Of course I can just use the new icloud account, with the strange spelling, and have that attached to my apple ID, but what I want is the original spelling, from the me.com account that was auto-converted to icloud.
    So...  How can I delete that account so I can create it attached to my active apple ID account, or how can I merge it with my active apple ID account.
    The worst case is to leave these generated accounts lying around where they can be abused, or cause confusion when I accidentally log into them.  The less evil solution is to allow me to disable an account I no longer wish to use so that I do not get confused and accidentally log into it on one of my devices, or someone else does not find the fallow account and abuse it...
    Any thoughts out here?  Is this possible?  Or is AppleID brain dead... ?

  • One main apple account and multiple icloud accounts

    Help please! We have one main apple account/ID that we use for purchases. I have set up seperate iCloud accounts for my 3 kids so that our information (mail, contacts, etc) is kept seperate. I have enabled the restrictions on their iPods also.
    It looked like I had everything separated correctly, they had their own contact book, their own email account, and were (hopefully) able to only iMessage/Facetime with the contacts that are loaded in their phone. I went to test this by going to iMessage and started to type one of the pre-loaded contacts in their phone and all my  personal contacts showed up. I do not want my kids accidentlly iMessaging my contacts. How are these getting pulled in? I can not find in settings anywhere where to turn this off. My contacts are not listed in their contact book on their iPod?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    My kids favorite games are mindcraft and flappy bird and when I mentioned restoring their phone they were a bit worried. Looks like I might need some quiet time to read that document over and see if their is a way to save their info in the games. Looks like there might be? If I can figure that out then I will for sure restore their phones. In the meantime I am telling them to be super careful not to send mass text to my contacts Thank you for your help!

  • Can I Do This - Multiple User Accounts, Same Apple Account?

    I'm wondering if I can do this - I just got a new pc for my wife and kids, each of whom have an ipod. They have been sharing a username and Apple.com account (the xxxx@yyyy id) on the old pc, each synching their ipods with no problems.
    On the new PC, which is Vista64 based, they will have their own user account. Can they still use the same Apple account, and share the same songs/Itunes library or will there be problems?
    If problems, any suggestions for my setup?
    Thanks in advance.

    That shouldn't be a problem at all, Bruce. Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for the general strategy and post back for any further details you may need.

  • HT204053 I accidentally set up a different Apple account on my iCloud (iPhone 4) and my iTunes for my iPod. How can I now sync the iTunes with my iPhone?

    I recently purchased and iPhone 4. In my haste to set it up, I created an iCloud account with a username that is different from the Apple account name I have on my iPod and iTunes account.
    How can I sync the two accounts so that I can download my music from my iPod to my iPhone?
    Sincerely,

  • How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

    hi
    How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

    And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

  • My apple account was hacked so cannot get my password. how do i delete my account from my phone to create a new iCloud account. It asks for a password before I can delete my account?

    i am unable to delete my Icloud account off my phone as it has been hacked and I am unable to retrieve a new password. Is there anyway I can remove it?

    You won't be able to remove it without the password.  If you can't reset it yourself, contact the Apple account security team for your country for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If your country isn't listed, try contacting iTunes store support: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • How can I keep my old things from own apple account and move it to a new one?

    I got a new iTunes account today and all of my old things (videos, pictures, music, apps, etc.) are all on the old account, which is my dad's. I want to have all of my stuff on my iPhone, but also have a new Apple Account.

    You will not be able to transfer the items purchased or the other Apple ID. You will need to reinstall the data under your Apple ID and pay for the apps.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • I originally set up my apple account by spelling my email address incorrectly.  how can i change it?  it says that i need to verify from the email they sent but the email address is incorrect!

    Help.  I need to change my apple account and don't have access to my old email, how can i change this - how do i verify that it is me.

    You set up email accounts on the iPad in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account. You have a choice of some of the most popular email providers in the setup list or you can select Other at the bottom.
    Tap on the provider that is applicable and begin the setup on the iPad.

  • HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address.  The correct email shows in my Apple account.  Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

    I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address.  My email address is right under my Apple ID.  How do I get this corrected?

    Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption.  I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
    That is good.  In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it.  All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
    In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts.  One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID.  But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple.  As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
    However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
    settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out.  Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

  • I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Try this:
    Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one.  Good luck!
    And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.
