Account accessed by someone that is not authorised

Hi all,
I am just wondering if there is anything I can do to stop people accessing my account now that I have been hacked.
Last night my password and phone number were changed by someone other than myself. Even my language preference was changed.
I have managed to get back into my account using my security questions, but I am wondering what else I can do now to protect myself from it happening again?
Also is there any monitoring program that Apple uses to keep an eye on these occurances, somewhere i can now add my icloud account to so that it can be monitored in the short term?
Thank you in advance

  • I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine

    I have a iTunes account and recently 2 of the song I have downloaded will not play, it says that it not authorised to play. How ever on the same day the other songs I downloaded that day are playing fine. I can't play the 2 song on my lap top and I-pod.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:

    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

  • Verizon is charging my account for a service that was not provided.

    Verizon is charging my account for a service that was not provided.
    I am a LONG term Verizon customer and no one is helping.....
    I work in IT, with the Network and Mobility groups, so I know what I am talking about, network access, O/S, bandwidth, etc….
    I changed to a droid Bionic, from my LG (broken).   I started experiencing issues with inability to connect to a solid 4G network. The phone was not updated to Ice Cream Sandwich O/S and tried repeatedly to get update, but no go. Verizon did swap out with another bionic, but still experienced issues with inability to consistently get network access.  I work in a big city, no one else was having issues at my work.
    Husband left for Europe due to a family emergency mid Sept.   FIL was in hospital.  I work and there is a 7 hour time difference.   We both had SKYPE on our phones.  At work, I tried to contact him, using SKYPE.   SKYPE would not connect, due to the phone issue connecting to the network.   I had to call husband directly (international calls) to get updates on the condition of my ill, 96 yo FIL.  
    1.   This was not an issue of an app that did not function and that Verizon does not support.   I did not have access to the network, thus could not use SKYPE to make calls.  This was not a choice to call international.  
    Verizon admitted that it was a phone issue.  Since I am a long term Verizon customer and have insurance on the phone, they tried to give me yet another Bionic 9that would not work).  After much discussion, they sent me a RAZR that was on the updated O/S.
    Up to the 29th of Sept, I was on the Bionic and could not access SKYPE.  Once I transferred over, I could use SKYPE and was not forced by Verizon to make international calls due the lack of network service that I pay for EACH MONTH.
    When I received my bill for Sept, there were hundreds of dollars of additional charges.  
    This was due to the international calling that I was forced to use to check on status of terminally ill 96 yo FIL.
    This was due to the overage of minutes that I had and was never notified of by Verizon, due to the interational calls.
    I have tried to deal with Verizon on eliminating the charges. This is after having to deal with the death and funeral arrangements, service, etc of FIL.  Verizon claims that I made the calls, thus I must pay.   They admitted to it being a Verizon network issue when they traded for the Razr and updated O/S, but still want me to pay hundreds of dollars in extra fees that THEY CAUSED.

    Just as a FYI..  Husband was at the hospital, not at a PC. It would be so sanitary and easy if all was scheduled properly, but guess what?  Usually when someone is ill enough and has been rushed to the hospital and extended stay, you do not only contact at 6 AM in the morning.   You check on statuses, talk to doctors, etc. during the day. 
    I thought you said YOUR phone was the one having the problem, not his. You could have Skyped/emailed from a computer TO his phone, but you chose to call instead.
    Yes, you are correct, everyone does not always think clearly when in a stressful situation such as that. Does not mean someone else should pay for YOUR actions.
    Another thing I notice about your prior post is you say "Verizon claims that I made the calls, thus I must pay." but you also claim to have made the calls yourself, so it isn't necessarily that Verizon "claims" you made the calls, you DID make the calls.
    Finally, I have found myself in a similar situation in the past and most likely in the near future. I also didn't(and don't) expect Verizon to pay for my phone usage during those times.

  • Can I use "Back to My Mac" to access a Mac that has not been logged in to?

    I bought a Mac Mini and set it up with "Back to My Mac". I have set it up with Automatic login right now, but I would like to deactivate it.
    When the computer is on, but at the login screen step  of the boot up, is it possible to access it with "Back to my Mac"? I am under the impression that that is not possible.
    Thanks for any insights you guys might have in your current setup.

    Both TC should be in bridge mode. Is that what you have done? You cannot use the TC in router mode as it will cause double NAT problems.
    Can you access one of the TC? Or do both fail to show up?

  • I need to access a website that is not Netscape compatible. Where can I get a Firefox add-in that emulates Internet Explorer?

    Need software that makes Firefox act like Microsoft Internet Explorer so that I can get into a website that will not interact properly with Netscape, which is apparently used by Firefox.

    The following Add-on uses the Internet Explorer installed on your system to display a page in an IE tab in Firefox. There are several Add-ons to perform that function, but I have had the most success with the following:

  • How do I deauthorize an account from a computer that is not my account?

    I have a laptop that someone added their itunes account to that I never approved.  How do I now delete that account so I can add my own? I don't have their password to be able to delete their account.

    You can't.  Only the original individual who authorized the account we'll be able to. Sorry.

  • Was on line with someone that di not know what they were doing for 1 1/2 hours online. No results.

    Adobe customer service is the worst I have seen. On line chat took 1 1/2 hours and for a simple question the rep could not answer or fix.  Now  callining the Phone # provided and was told that it would be 5-10 minutes, it has been 1 hour and 20 minutes with no response. Software is great, Service sucks.  I'll buy something different from now on.

    If you want someone here to try and help, you need to provide a LOT more information

  • How to access address book that is not on startup drive

    I have an external hard drive that is from an old computer of mine. How do I access the address book on that drive without making it my startup drive first?
    Thanks.

    easy on all caps there
    you can do the following to combine address books. start Address book, select all the contacts currently in your address book and drag them to the desktop. that will create one big vcard with those contacts. then quit address book and replace the folder that I told you about with the one from the backup drive. start address book. it will look like it did on the backup drive. drop the vcard you have on the desktop onto the address book. the addresses will be imported.
    warning: this procedure will migrate all addresses but will destroy any groups and smart groups you currently have in AB.

  • I need to access a website that does not support any versions of Firefox beyond 3.x, how can I downgrade my webbrowser so I can access that site?

    I recently upgraded to Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1 and now I cannot access web applications (Momentum from CGI Federal) that are only compatible with version 3.x. Is there a way to downgrade my version or run two different versions on one computer? If I can't downgrade I will need to run IE as my primary web browser.

    You can use the portable Firefox version for such sites.

  • My account states I'm authorized 5 computers however I only have 2 computers that are working, how do you account for the 3 that are not working

    I have owned 5 computers which had iTunes loaded, however only 2 of the computers actually work.  My account states I'm authorized 5 computers, how do I update my account to indicate that.  The only option I saw was unauthorize all computers

    Mash,
    If a computer is authorized but is discarded withour deauthorizing, it continues to count as an authorized computer. 
    But, it is simple enough to "Deauthorize All" and then re-authorize just the ones that you are still really using.

    Correct.
    Sharing requires that devices and computers be within range of your Wi-Fi network. Home in this case.

    I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone that does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How do I delete it?

    Tap on the event to open the event. Click the 'Edit' button in the event bubble, then press the 'Delete Event' button at the bottom of the Edit pop-up. It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.
