Has anyone received text messages that don't belong to the actual sender?

I have an iphone 4S, iOS 7.1.2.  About a week ago, I received a text from my husband who has a new Samsung Galaxy 5.  Immediately afterward, I received two more texts from him that said "I'm at the movies" then "I'm driving".  He said that he didn't send those two texts.  Did someone somehow get my password and got into the cloud to send these texts ?  Am I going to have to change my iTunes password again ?  I've been doing this a lot recently with almost everything internet related.

If someone has your Apple ID credentials, they could access some information, including iMessages. An Apple ID will not give the any access to SMS messages. Anything between you and your husband is going to be an SMS. Two step verification is a way to make it more difficult for someone to access an account such as you iCloud account or Google account.
If you have sensitive information on your phone, a password is a good idea. It would also prevent someone from picking up the phone, using it and running up your bill. I maintain that the first, most important security measure is simply not to leave your phone lying around where other people can pick it up. Treat it like your wallet. You wouldn't leave your walled on your office desk and go off to a two hour meeting.
All of these security measures are a fine idea. However, I want to stress that the messages you received do not seem to indicate that anything has been compromised.

  • I receive text messages that should include a hyperilnk but it does not show.

    I receive text messages that should include a hyperlink for google map. For a while it was working fine. All of the sudden the link doesn't show in the message anymore. I thought they had stopped sending them but comparing the same message with another phone, the link was in that one.
    Am I missing a setting or was anything changed with the upgrades that I don't see the links anymore?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
    Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

  • HELP! "There are 309 files that don't belong in the project"

    I needed to reformat my OS, so I backed up all my data onto DVD+RW's. (Verbatim brand.) including my imovies. I copied the entire "blahblah.iMovieProject" folder onto the DVD, then copied it back onto the drive after the reinstall. But now when I click on the project, it prompts me about this:
    "There are 309 files that don't belong in the project"
    and then this:
    "There are 160 stray clip files in the project folder. Would you like to put them on the clips pane?"
    After I click on "Leave Files Alone" for both of them, (versus move to trash, and Move files to clips pane, respectively), The project opens completely BLANK.
    Oh great. Please inform. Am I out of luck?
    Oh, btw, it also created like 10 versions of each photo in the "Media" folder. ick. what happened?...
    g5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Also, one more thing! Now that this has happened, even after I quit and restart the computer, upon opening the application, instead of starting out with a brand new project, the same prompts appear, and then leaves me with that seemingly corrupt project which is blank.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Is it possible to temporarily turn off the wireless signal being emitted from an Airport Extreme whilst still remaining connected to the internet via ethernet? If so, what do you need to do to turn off the wireless signal?
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab located just under the row of icons
    Wireless Mode = None
    Update to save your new settings
    You can reverse the process to turn the wireless back on when you are ready.
    Also, how strong is the wireless signal? If placed in a basement of a residential property, is it likely that the signal would reach two floors above?
    It's just not possible to accurately predict wireless performance in advance for any installation. A guess would be that the signal will be very weak, and likely unusable, but you won't know for sure until you try it out in your house.

  • How to not allow someone to load text messages that have been deleted from the phone however apps are still able to reteive them

    Someone is trying to access the text messages that have been deleted off of my phone thru an app (unknown app)

    Let me rephrase that. They can't unless they had physical possession of your phone and installed spyware on it.

  • Why does the site manager create c:\ folders for files that don't belong to the site via FTP?

    Hello everyone,
    now I've been using Dreamweaver since Ultradev 1.0 and I have just recently upgraded to CS 5.5 Web Edition. Before that I used CS3. I've allways been very satisfied with Macromedia and Adobe products until now
    Now I don't know whats happened in the last few years but I am getting the impression that the quality of Dreamweaver used to be alot more stable.
    Developing for more than half my life I understand that bugs are usual and that not everything can be cared for, but to be quite honest I also know that there are bugs that just should not happen when you ship a product.
    On the other hand I do love some of the enhancements that have come with 5.5, for example the Javascript Framework integration and jQuery code hinting features but what I really cannot understand is why the heck is Dreamweaver automatically uploading files that do not belong to the currently open site to the ftp server? I cannot think of any scenario in which this would be appropriate behaviour. I'd understand it if the files somehow contained links (CSS, JS, PHP, etc.) to the currently open site, but they don't! Dreamweaver simply sets out, every now and again, to creating a totally "dumb" folder structure on my ftp servers when I open a file from outside of the site - which I do very often to copy code I used in other projects.
    It's just frustrating having to cleanup the ftp servers because Dreamweaver created folders like this "c:\localhost_root_folder\client_folder\client_project_folder\www\.... and so on", and saves a file in there that has nothing to do with the currently open site.
    Now I've looked for settings that would supress this behaviour but I could'nt find any.
    Also, I really don't want to stop using the automatic upload function because it speeds up development time significantly.
    Does anyone know how to work around this issue, or even better, does anyone know why this behaviour is happening and what it's purpose is?
    Thanks in advance.
    David

    ... what I really cannot understand is why the heck is Dreamweaver automatically uploading files that do not belong to the currently open site to the ftp server?

    Dreamweaver doesn't "automatically upload" anything unless you have it set to on save. This is a bad practice if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing. You may see it as a time saver, but if you have to go back two or three times and clean everything up, it isn't. Additionally, you select what is uploaded or not uploaded. If you choose to upload the entire root folder every time, then Dreamweaver will upload everything inside it... not automatically, but because you chose it.
    As to the "dumb folder structure", when you define a site, YOU and YOU ALONE define the folder structure. If you are working in multiple sites at once (bad practice unless your are extremely meticulous about details) odds are you will sooner or later save a file from one site, with another site open in the Files Panel and Dreamweaver will save the file to the open site, not the one you opened it from (see why it's a bad practice to do this?).
    It's just frustrating having to cleanup the ftp servers because
    Dreamweaver created folders like this
    "c:\localhost_root_folder\client_folder\client_project_folder\www\... .
    and so on", and saves a file in there that has nothing to do with the
    currently open site.
    It reads like you have defined a testing server and are using it when  you put files. C:\localhost is a testing server protocol. If you are  testing files and then attempt to put files from the testing server  instead of the root folder, they will have the filepath from the testing  server and not from the root folder file structure. Again a bad  practice unless you are meticulous about details and remember to switch  back to the root folder from the testing server panel BEFORE you put  files.

  • Smart mailbox sometimes showing messages that don't belong there

    Occasionally my Smart mailbox will contain a couple of mails that don't match the rules, along with everything else that should be there. If I select another mailbox and then reselect the Smart mailbox in question it then shows the correct mails.
    Usually this seems to happen when my laptop is awoken from sleep or mail is first loaded, but it has happened from just selecting the mailbox. The misplaced e-mails almost always seem to be unread mails from another mailbox which throws my unread count on this smart mailbox.
    I have tried rebuilding my mail index and this hasn't helped.
    Any ideas/solutions gratefully appreciated?

  • Has anyone received their nMP that was scheduled for Feb. Shipment?

    I'm just asking because I ordered mine in the first week of Jan. and it still says "available to ship February" yet February ends on Friday.  I was wondering if anyone else that ordered around the same time as me has received any update on their February shipment date?  Or received the nMP altogether?

    Ordered mine New Year's day. Still haven't reccived it. Heck, the status still only shows "Feburary" on the page. I've had the amount pend and then expire. Received email saying ship in two days (Received that Tuesday). Still no charges pending and no shiping information. Of course Apple can't tell me anything. Bit frustrated to be honest. Waiting impatiently. :-) WAAAAAA! I want my computer. :-)
