Apple printed someone else's pictures in my book

Has anyone seen this happen? After carefully assemblying your book, and creating a pdf file to triple check it, Apple prints a book that mixes someone else's order with your own? This is what happened to me. My printed book starts with someone else's pictures and text, followed by the pictures I ordered... And not just that, but the picture pages stick together to the point where they rip when we turn the pages. What do you all think Apple should do about that?

I have been going at it with Apple now for over a month! I ordered a book and it came back with blank pages and with photos not scaled properly. I sent three emails via the iPhoto support page and received no replies. As you stated they promise a response within 48 hrs. Then some two weeks later they had the nerve to send me a survey thanking me for using the web support function and please rate "how we did!" You can only imagine how I responded. I next tried contacting a live person at Apple Care to help me out. I provided them my order number. They indicated that that was not a correct number. Turns out that Apple Care cannot track orders made through iPhoto! No one at Apple Care was even familiar with what an iPhoto book was. I then called Apple corporate hq's and spoke to a "customer care" rep. She assured me I would be contacted within 48 hrs (sound familiar) and my problem would be resolved. I heard nothing for over a week. Calls back to Ms. Graser of customer care were met by voice mail. Finally this week I recieved a canned response back from Apple. They noted that they would credit the charge back to my card. They also asked if I were interested in reordering my book and if so they would "assist" me. I replied that I was interested in trying to reorder the book. So what does Apple do? Without any further contact to find out why the book came back incomplete, they reorder the same %&*#'d up book and recharge my credit card for the full amount (including $15 for express shipping)!
If I were you I would contact my credit card company ASAP. Dispute the charge and they will remove it from your account. My card company did just that without any hesitation.
BUYER BEWARE! Apple provides no support or quality control for this product. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck!

  • Someone else's picture on my Photostream

    First time posting on here so be gently
    I've just been looking through my photos on my AppleTV device and found that there is a photo on there that I didn't take (i.e. - Someone elses photo !!).
    How is it possible that I have an image from someone else's stream and more importantly, does this mean that my photos could be floating around on someone else's ???
    I've also checked on my Mac and the photo doesn't have any location information,  but has a time and date of Feb last year on a day that I was at work.
    It's also quite clearly taken in another country and I haven't even been abroad in the past few years (Sad I know ).
    Any help on this would be much appreciated.
    Cheers all

    I don't have an answer, but a possibly related situation (pre-Photostream). Several years ago I was on a cruise and the ship had free wifi all over, including the cabins. I had my MacBook Pro with me, and one day the woman in the cabin next to mine told me that she had opened iPhoto on her own Mac and all my pictures were there. She didn't know what to do and was afraid to delete them, so she left them alone. Later they were gone. I never understood why this would happen.
    Also, before I had Photostream, my iPad (I) had only one picture on it, and it was one that I had never seen before and that looked like it was taken in another country.
    Could this picture be an Apple "Easter egg"?

  • There are someone else's pictures on my mobileme gallery

    I've just got an AppleTV and when I look under Internet > MobileMe with my Apple account, there's someone else's gallery. I've a fairly distinct log in so I'm thinking this is unlikely to be someone getting an email address wrong. Also, I've not had any odd emails. I can't understand what they're doing there or how to get rid of them. Any ideas?  Thanks

    Nobody could use your email address to set up a MobileMe Gallery. Only people with @me.com email addresses (i.e. full MobileMe acounts) can create galleries.
    Possibly you're viewing the gallery of the MobileMe member whose username is the same as the part before the @ in your email address.
    Go to http://gallery.me.com/username and see if you get the same gallery come up.

  • Someone else's photos (333 of them) showed up as mounted folder after crash

    So iPhoto has been crashing a lot as I have been updating keywords using Keyword Assistant (I recently imported ~3500 pictures). When iPhoto re-opens after a crash, sometimes I lose some of the changes I recently made.
    But to my big surprise, when it auto-reopened iPhoto after the most recent crash, I had 333 photos in a mounted folder (with an eject button) labeled "Joe Schmoe's Photos" dated 2006/09/29 to 2007/08/05. I do not know this person, do not recognize the photos, and I seem to have pictures dated through yesterday. I am not a .Mac subscriber, nor do I share my photos online through iPhoto, but it would seem that I have been granted access to Joe Schmoe's photos.
    If I indeed have been accidentally granted access to someone else's photos, this is a huge security concern! I have a screen shot of this and will share it with an Apple developer/employee, but do not want to post it here because of privacy issues related to showing someone else's pictures to the world.
    If anyone has any ideas of what else might be going on, I'm all ears.
    Note the following:
    -I was connected to the internet(wirelessly) at the time of the crash/re-open.
    -These photos are not in my library, but seem to be a separate mounted folder.
    -The name does not show up in searches of my computer nor in the finder/desktop as a mounted drive.
    -There is no exposure info on any of the pictures
    -When it crashed and reopened (again, just now), Nathan Bowen's photos are still there, but it seems to take time to load them (like they're downloading perhaps)

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    downloaded acrobat reader 11 onto my Mac Book Pro, it can open the file but will not print. Get a message that says PDF cannot be printed, however, I forwarded it to someone else and they could print it, no problem. I called HP and spent an 1hour with them and then called Apple support and worked with them for 3 hours. No one can figure it out. Is there something wrong with this version? the pdf was created in 2004. Do I have to pay to get Acrobat?

    Let me give you a slightly different perspective than everyone else here.  You are using an unsecured wireless network, which means that all your network traffic is easily available for viewing by anyone else using that network.  That's bad.  Very bad, for you, unless you absolutely trust everyone who lives within range of this network.  So stop doing it.
    As to the Mac not connecting, wireless networking is simply too complex for any reasonable answer without more information.  There are many possible error points, and as often as not it's the Mac that can connect and the Windows PC that cannot.  Since you can't give us any information about the configuration of the neighbor's network, and can't make any changes to it, we can't do much to help you troubleshoot it.

    The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
    This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

  • Is it possible for someone to scan someone else's card with Apple Pay?

    Hi All,
    Can't find a concrete answer on this, but maybe someone here knows.
    Is it possible for someone to scan someone else's card into Apple Pay?
    My fear is now that apple pay is out there, picture this:
    Someone goes and buys an "Unlocked iPhone" with cash from a apple store.  So now its not locked or setup to anyone or any carrier.
    That same person works in a restaurant.  Takes your card at checkout and walks off to ring up the bill.  Instead, they scan your card and enter it into Apple Pay on this new unlocked device.
    They now have your card, verified the security code on the card, entered your name, and then (on wi fi) it authenticates and sets itself up.
    They then give you back your card, you leave.
    After their shift, they go and pay $1000 on your card , then delete it, and next day, they come back and do it all over again.
    Not saying this is feasible, but what is stopping someone from doing that?  Today, they need your billing info if they do, which they wouldn't have, but this seems to be very quick to authenticate and allow that device access to spend. 
    Just wondering if Apple would be asking for authentication via apple ID, or something else to prevent fraudulent scanning of cards.
    Any thoughts?

    This was posted a little bit after your query.
    Note: This article is misleading in that the "security issue" wasn't really about Apple Pay...
    http://consumerist.com/2014/10/24/apple-pay-lets-man-scan-use-wifes-citi-credit- card-without-additional-verification/
    To summarize, your bank will usually send a code to your phone number or email to authorize the card.

  • After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

    The title says it all.
    Some background info:
    1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015.  The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
    2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
    What happened;
    1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio.  It had the leather Apple case on it.  Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
    2. Phone responds to touch, but not property.  I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
    3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
    4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
    5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
    What I have done:
    1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
    2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
    3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
    4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
    5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
    Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever.  The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly.  This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
    Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
    I really hope someone here has some insight.
    Thank you.

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

    I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
    Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
    Thanks

    You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.

  • When I try to buy or update an app on my ipad, a window comes up asking me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID which prevents me from buying the app. How can I get my ipad toprompt for a password using my own apple ID, like it does w/ itunes

    When I try to buy or update apps, myipad asks me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID, which prevents me from buying/updating apps. But when I am buying songs on itunes, the ipad asks me for my password using MY OWN apple ID and everything works fine. HOW DO I GET MY IPAD TO REQUEST MY PASSWORD USING MY OWN apple ID WHEN I AM BUYING OR UPDATING APPS?

    The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.

  • Macbook Air Already Registered To Someone Else, Apple's Problem or JB HI-FI's Problem?

    Hi every,
    I purchased a Ex Demo Macbook Air from JB Hi-FI 2 weeks ago which is a 2011 model, ( salesmen said it was mid 2012 ) but anyways that's another matter. I was using my Air today and i experienced a fault with the sound, I was on the desktop and went to open an app and then a sound started (like a static ticking) which was loud and i was unable to close the app as it never opened and i couldnt restart or shut down.
    After holding the power button down to restart it, i thought, i should register this new Macbook Air under my account, incase something is wrong with it.
    So i went to the apple site and logged in and entered my serial to register it for the 1 year warranty cover and low and behold, it's already been registered! Also the service repairs is valid for another 4 days, Phone Tech Support is expired, Applecare extention option expires in 4 days also.
    So moving forward, This product i have bought is registered to someone else. Am i in my rights to request a brand new unit, and if they don't make mid 2011 models anymore and I entitled to a lastest model? Under the retail purchasing laws i am entitled to 1 year warrenty and the services provided when purchasing IE: phone support etc.
    On Apple's website it says the following:
    If you believe the information shown for your product is incorrect, you can submit your proof of purchase online or by fax. Your sales receipt is needed for Apple's 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan validation, so be sure to keep it in a safe place. Apple's 1-year limited warranty is the same whether or not you register.
    My problem now is, after experiencing the sound fault i experienced, should i try and talk to JB HI-FI or fill out the proof of purchase for Apple and subit to them and see what happens?
    Thanks in advance for your advise, and i hope this makes sence.

    should i try and talk to JB HI-FI
    Yes. You should take the computer the place you bought it from and talk to them.

  • How can I stop someone from receiving iMessages on their old disconnected iPhone, w'hich is still active in iMessage, when the number now belongs to someone else with a non apple device!?!

    To further clarify my dilemma ....
    A friend of mine just got a new phone number on her LG cell phone.
    When I try to text her, my messages are going to someone else's iPhone.
    The iPhone has been deactivated off the VZ cell network, but they are still using it on WIFI.
    They used to have this number on their iPhone, and it's still active in iMessage.
    So, when I try to send a text message to my friend on her LG, from my iPhone,
    they instead go to this total stranger, cuz they still have that number active in their iMessage account.
    This is a serious issue!!
    The only suggestion I get from apple support is to have my friend get a new number, or for me to turn off iMessage when I want to text her.
    Not really the optimum solution.
    Something really should be done to prevent this from happening!
    Strangers are effectively intercepting text messages!
    Help!?!

    Tell her to contact her carrier and get a new phone number.

  • How do I un-link my email address from someone else's Apple ID?

    Recently someone in India bought an iPhone 5 and now every time he downloads an app to it, I get the receipt for it in my inbox. His apple ID is his gmail address, which is somewhat similar to mine, so I'm guessing he set my email address as his accidentally, and was apparently able to do so without verification (I find it hard to believe Apple would allow this, but apparently they do). I tried to log on to his Apple ID account to change the settings, but the recovery email address for the password reset is not set to my email address. So, can anyone help me figure out how to get his Apple ID unlinked from my email address? I would be grateful.
    I got on gmail ca 2004 and was able to get simply my first name @gmail, which seemed amazing at the time, but now that the whole Indian subcontinent is getting online in full force, with many people apparently not understanding that you can't just use any email address you want, and because my first name is a common name in Pakistan and India, people accidentally sign me up for mailing lists over there multiple times a day. I get resumes sent to me daily, responses for classified ads that I didn't post, and often the sites are set up such that I have to log on to unsubscribe, but I don't have the password so I can't...it's getting out of control!  How is it possible that Apple allows this kind of mistake as well by not requiring email verification?

    I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
    In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
    and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
    and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
    there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity.  If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.
