An unauthorized person has gained access to your Apple account

Folks; does any one get this message. supposedly from APPLE?
I appreciate your feedback; the whole message is below:
"An unauthorized person has gained access to
your Apple account"
Hello ,
Recently, there is activity in your account that Apple seems unusual compared to your normal activities
We are concerned that someone is using your Apple account without your knowledge.
What should I do ?
Please follow the link.
We may ask you to confirm the information you provided when you created your account to make sure that you are the holder
cordially,
Apple

A good thing to bear in mind, Apple will never initiate contact with you. The user needs to do something first to get e-mails. The only Apple initiated mail I've ever received was a notification of a class action lawsuit I could have been eligible to participate in. And that contained no links as I recall.
This is along the line of the daily e-mails I get from yahoo support (in its various forms) insisting that I need to verify my info of they'll shut down my account.

My email was hacked and needs changed and I cannot gain access to my apple account

I was hacked a while back and still trying to get life back on track. I have changed my Apple ID yet on my iPad2 since I cannot find a password that works I cannot get into my account. I cannot just resent the passcode since the email does not exist any longer. I also cannot back up the iPad2.

This turned out to be an easy repair. In settings near the bottom is "STORE" cliick
Go to Apple ID click

Someone has gained access to my computer. please help

Recently someone has gained access to my computer. The first time they interacted with me they made a chat window pop up and started to ask me questions about what i was doing on the computer. I couldn't close the window he was typing in i had to shut my computer off. The window i think said something like controller something. The second incounter was a few mins ago the person really went to town. First they was making my computer talk to me. I know the Mac can talk but it doesn't say stuff like "i like cocaine ******", "**** ", plus many more and called me the N word. This made me believe they can see through my webcam on my mac. And they where saying my username .After 10 mins of them spamming the voices back to back. They then made a Google chrome open up with like 10 tabs that played a werid video like a dude from the saw movies or something/the ring type video. So i close it then they open it again with like 30 tabs... so now i really don't know what to do to stop this. im running snow leopard and updating is not really an option right now. I checked like my firewall cause that's one of the few things i know of and it was off the first time. But the second time the firewall was on and they still did what ever they wanted. I work from my computer and don't want to lose all my programs but i wonder if i just learn how to reset my hole computer would that stop them.i have the snow leopard disc somewhere.

Uninstall Hamachi.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmyrmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes. You generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
You may be advised by others to try to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name, or by running "utilities" that purport to remove software. I don't give such advice. Those tactics often will not work and may make the problem worse.

HT1920 I no longer have access to the recue email and cannot remember my password how do I process to gain access to my iTunes account?

I no longer have access to my recue email address and cannot remember my password how can I gain access to my itunes account? I have opened a new itunes ID but would like to transfer over all my music from my old account
Best regards

You can't transfer any content from one account to another account, all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
If this page doesn't let you get access to your old account : http://iforgot.apple.com, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get access to it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (if you've also forgotten the answers to your security questions then they should also be able to reset them)
When you've got access to your account you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

HT5622 how to disconnect a device from your apple account (multiple devices in one account)

I lost my ipod, how do you disconnect it from your apple account?

iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
lost/stolen
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How can you gain access to your mac if you forget the password

I need help accessing my computor because I forgot my username

Look below your /Users/username/ folder, the one with the House icon. The name is your username.
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
(these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
      the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
      command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
     until you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
     message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
mount -uw /
ifconfig lo0 up
cd /var/db/netinfo
netinfod -s local
Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
Now, enter:
sync
reboot
and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

HT3702 Trying to purchase a book and it keeps saying your apple account has been disabled. How do I fix that

Trying to purchase a book. Get a pop up screen that says "your Apple ID has been disabled". How can I fix that

You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

What do you need to download on a PC to access your Apple account?

We just bought a new PC with Windows 8 and I am trying to access all of my Apple devices. I am not sure what I need to download to access these devices. I downloaded Itunes, but that does not seem to be what I need.
Thanks!

iTunes
If it is expected that installing iTunes makes the users library magically appear on the new computer, change the expectation. This is simply not the case.
Just FYI, the Apple account is merely the users login information and purchase history. The account is NOT the media the user has purchased.
The media the user has purchased is only where the user put it. Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Unable to verify your account/Email not being sent to primary or alternate address/ Regain access to your Apple ID account

Tried changing my apple Id to the alternate icloud address. It asked me to verify it through my email address (primary) which I never received.
Requested to resend the validation email address a couple of times but failed to receive the verification. At that point, my icloud account failed to connect and kept on asking me to verify my account.
Any thoughts?

Hi rashadbibi,
If you have not received your verification email for your iCloud account, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
