Can I be hacked by someone else using terminal?

I used a command from the web "towel.blinkenlights.nl." It said that it was connecting to an ip adress....

Is it safe to use some of the command hacks online to make changes within your mac?
No, not if you don't know what you're doing and how to reverse the changes you made. That's a completely different question, which you should start another thread to address.

  • If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

    If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

    If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account.   However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones.  They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream).  Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
    Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this.  (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.)

  • If you log out of your apple ID on your iPad and let someone else use it and they use facetime.  How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs?   I do not want them to have access to my history.  How can I prevent that and they can see their own?

    If you log out of your apple ID on your iPAD mini and let someone else use it and they use facetime.  How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs?   I do not want them to have access to my history.  How can I prevent that and they can see their own?  Or is the history associated with the iPAD mini itself and not the actual icloud user account?

    You are logging out from
    Settings -> FaceTime, right?
    My guess would be though, that the FaceTime history is stored locally on the device, so anyone using it will see the entire device history (I cannot imagine that FaceTime uploads the history to an Apple server anywhere - I'm sure it is just logged locally on the device - based on my iPhone and iPad show completely different histories, for example).

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

  • Someone else using my MacBook

    Hi,
    Can you please tell me if there is a way to see if someone else used my MacBook? I am automatically logged on once I start my computer.
    Thank you.

    Hi Sicjoy.
    There is the 'History' menu (up top, Safari menu bar) on which you can click 'Show All History'. This would require that you are familiar with where you go so as to spot anything unusual. But, if you clear your history on a regular basis, this method probably wouldn't be helpful. Is there something specific you are looking for? A site? A change in your account?

    I bought final cut pro 7...can i sell it to someone else.  How do i unregister it?

    No need to unregister. Just make sure you sell the entire package including all disks and printed documentation.
    Then remove it completely from your computers.

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?

  • I am unable to update Pages through the App store. It appears someone else used my machine to update Pages previously.For the update,  I am asked to login to another account. I want to remove it and download the latest version. Can I do this?

    I was notified that Pages and one other application have updates. When I tried to login, the Apps page asks me to login to an account I am not familiar with. I imagine that this machine was used by someone else to update or download 2 apps. I would like to delete them and download the latest apps using my account. Can I do this?

    You can log in to your own account at any time and access the appliactions you have paid for, just fill in your own Apple ID.

  • I got hacked and someone was using my mouse how can i be protected?

    I resentrly got hacked. someone was using my mouse and was going to reload a website. i could not move my mouse but i could see my mouse moving. how can I be protected?

    well a simpler and less "evil" possibility is a wireless mouse or some other signal interfering.  Are you using a blutooth or other wireless mouse?
    If you don't have any sharing turned on, it would take a pretty advanced hacker to gain control of your mac.
    If you don't have remote login turned on, or screen sharing, or file sharing, it would be very very hard to do.  But nothing's impossible.....

  • How can erase my information on someone else's icloud?

    Hello,
    I was recently a victim of an armed robbery for the first time in my life and had my purse and iphone stolen, but luckily, the authorities came and retrieved it from the home of a suspect associated with the man the next day thanks to the gps of the phone. However, I soon discovered that the man who had stolen my iphone deleted all of my apps and updated my contacts to include my own name and apple id address and when i tried to erase it, I think that i may or may have not updated his own icloud with my own information. I do not know if that is possible but i am freaking the **** out. The man has yet to be caught and is now equipped with my own email, apple id, phone number, and possibly home address as well (and my family's individual phone numbers) on his icloud. All i have, if it would be any help, is his apple id and his first name (which showed up when i connected my usb to my comp). I contacted the police again but they couldn't do much about this type of technological situation. I hope that you all could help me in anyway possible, for now i am fearing for my life and my family's and friends' lives as well.
      Thank You Very Much

    Being robbed at gunpoint is a traumatic event to say the least. I'm sure no one could possibly understand the depth of your concern.
    I can only suggest that the felon who took your iPhone with all the information on it really doesn't have anything more than what someone could find out by using a phone book or any number of other records. Try to consider this rationally - your posessions were recovered, but is the thief going to track you down again? Why? It would be the height of stupidity. Not that dirtbags and felons are smart, but I doubt he wants to risk getting caught by going to your home or even harassing you with so much as a phone call. You were robbed for no other reason than to get a few bucks for drugs, nothing more, and the scumbag has long since moved on to his next victim.
    Technologically speaking, I doubt there is anything you can do to erase information on someone else's account. However, given the circumstances, I would contact Apple's legal department, explain the armed robbery and provide a copy of your complaint to the police. It would be ideal if they would unceremoniously cancel his iCloud account. I seriously doubt they will do that, unless pressured to do so, since as a rule Apple does not get involved in thefts. Perhaps if you pointed out failure to act as you request could lead to injury to yourself or someone else, leaving Apple in a vulnerable position if that were to happen, might convince them to take appropriate action on your behalf.
    I am just speculating though. You ought to consult an attorney to determine if this is advisable.

    Hello Jerry and welcome to the Community.
    1. First posting rule: Never use someone else's thread even if you think you have exactly the same issue. You don't.
    2. No two issues are ever identical. There are too many variables. ALWAYS start your own topic.
    3.  Not advisable and not recommended.
    4. A much better way to achieve your objective is to purchase a Skype Gift Card. Details here:   https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12197/what-is-a-skype-gift-card-and-where-can-i-buy-one?frompage=...

    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

    I think Skype doesn't send verification emails when creating an account, so anyone can register an account using anyone's email address, as well as non-existing ones).  You can contact customer service to report that unknown account, and to request to unlink your email address from that unknown account.

  • IP address - someone else using same IP address

    While using the internet I had a pop up window stating that someone else was using the same IP address and I was now disconnected from the internet. I don't have access to the router as it is shared in my building. Does anyone know if I can change my IP address to something different and what do i change it to?

    Have you rebooted?  If you get your IP assigned automatically this should prompt the DHCP (IP) server to give you a new address if you're machine is setup to automatically get an IP.
