Has my iPhone been hacked? NEED HELP PLS
I called a number in my contacts and as it was dialing, different strangers answer the call and I have no idea who they are. When they hang up, the dial tone resumes until another stranger picks up the phone. This happened once and after that it was back to normal. Has my iPhone been hacked?
If your iPhone has not been jailbroken or out of your possession, it cannot be hacked.
Sounds more like a problem with the phone service, especially since it was a one time thing.

Think my email has been hacked need help??
i use outlook web page to check my emails but yester day i had delivery failures which was unusual as i didnt send anything.. i went to log in today and it said there is somebody trying to use my email aswell
does anybody know how this has happened?? is it anything to do with malware?
and how do i stopit from happening
thanks in advanceYour mail account has almost certainly been hacked on the server, not on your computer, unless someone has had access to the latter.
Log in to the mail server's web interface and change the password. If you use the same password for any other accounts, change those passwords too, and make them all different. Internet passwords should be random strings of at least 10 characters. You most likely don't need to, and should not be able to, remember them. They should be saved in your keychain and backed up with the rest of your data.
One way to generate a secure password is the following. Triple-click anywhere the line below on this page to select it:
openssl rand -base64 10 | cut -c-14 | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected line to the clipboard (command-C). Launch the Terminal application and paste into the window that opens (command-V). A string of 14 random characters will appear in a TextEdit window. Use that string, or a substring, as the password. To generate another random string, press the up-arrow key and then the return key with the Terminal window active. You can then quit Terminal.
If the compromised account is on Gmail, then changing the password may not be enough. Follow all of Google'sinstructions to secure it. -

I'm a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, so I don't know if this has any relation at all to the problem I'm having, but I'll just explain as much as a can.
I connected to my school's wifi with my iPhone to download some purchased music. It asked for my password to purchase the music. Before the download is complete, I have to leave, and instead of physically disconnecting from the wifi, I just leave the area, which I assume will eventually disconnect me when I get too far away. Since I'm disconnected from wifi, the download obviously is canceled (I assume I can pick it up later next time I connect to the wifi). But throughout the day, I keep getting the pop-up prompt to enter my password, which I assumed is because my phone is trying to restart the download and it needs my iTunes account password to do so. The first time this happened I gave my password without really thinking about it.
Anyway, later today I find out that a mass spam email has been sent from my Gmail account. So I'm trying to find the source of how they got my password, and I'm wondering if it's possible that this is because of what I was doing on my iPhone earlier. Could I have somehow gotten a virus or something on my iPhone? Or if it's something unrelated to the iPhone, and ideas of what I can/should do?
ThanksThe same thing happened to my iPhone today. Fortunately it only sent to one person but unfortunately it was my ex and the spam was for male enhancements. Since this happened I have had problems with my phone all day. Now my phone is saying restore needed on the screen but when I try to plug it in to my Mac iTunes tells me that my phone is locked and will not connect until I unlock my phone (my phone is not giving me a password screen)... anyway I am going to the Apple store tomorrow to get it fixed so I will ask this question tomorrow and let you know what they say.

Has my iPhone been hacked? iOS 7
Here is a packet capture from my iPhone. It does this quite frequently. Who is AV?
GET /connectivity.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: static.ess.apple.com:80

AV was here!The request is used to determine if you're on the real internet or a captive portal (like the guest network where you have to sign in first). Essentially it tries to load this web page in the background, if it doesn't get the response it expects it displays the results in that little "Sign into the internet pop-up".
That said, I would have hoped apple would put more responsible content in there than "AV was here!". -
Phone icon on iPhone 4 gone/ Need help pls
I have a question regarding the phone icon on my iPhone4. Don't know how but it's "poof gone". Mail, Safari and iTunes are still at the bottom. I wasn't even aware these icons were moveable.
Through Spotlight I can see that the phone function is still there. By tapping on the Home button twice I used to be able to see the icon. When I touched it, the numbers touchscreen came up but no favorites options, contacts, etc. were there.
Can someone please tell me how to make my phone icon show up again on my phone? I have done the usual - turned it restarted it, did a full restore...still nada.
Thanks for any help,
LLReeeAs Emily Latella would say, "Nevermind!".
I don't know what I did but I know how to fix it now! -
I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S. Need help. Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting
I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated? -
I buy for mac app but not for the iPad, so how do I reinstall a program that has already purchased? I need help because I bought the imovie'11 but when he opened it only brought 8 movie trailer templates instead of the 15 it says on the program. How do I solve this problem? Once paid for a program incomplete. I also liked that the AppStore itself had a button to reinstall programs already bought, because it is very hard to understand how to do this in the store, only option is to install and hide purchase, and how do I reinstall, attention'm talking about reinstalling a computer mac, not an ipad or iphone.
Thank you.Prodesigntools.com , go ahead and download the software from there and use your serial number to serialize it.

I use the twitter/twitter app quite a bit and yesterday was the first time that I've ever seen a spam tweet from my account. So, I deleted it and changed my account password. I've just gone to send a text and noticed a new contact in my address book that I didn't put in and hadn't seen till today. It was called "twitter" and had a random number attached to it. I've deleted it but it didn't give me the option to block. Has my phone been hacked and if so, is there anything I need to worry about/do? Thanks.
Twitter allows you to send & receive tweets via text message, so it's possible that random contact is Twitter. Check their support pages & you should be able to confirm if that is the case. I believe the number for receiving messages is the same for everyone but the one you send messages to is unique for each account.

I have to noticed recently that a website keeps appearing in my history, but I definitely have never been on it. I don't know if its happening to anyone else, but it's www.peanuts.com?? Has my ipad been hacked? Is there anything I can do do stop it? Please help!
After using my iPad this morning and came home in the afternoon, I noticed when trying to log in, there was a keyboard in the bottom half of the screen and my four digit passcode in parenthesis right above. If freaked me out. No one was home at the time, or had access to my iPad. I wish I had taken a screen shot.
The only way I could get out of it was to shut down and log back in. What could had caused that? -

I update my iPhone in iTunes, and after some time, opened a window saying "rosolvendor conflict" and asking me to choose, giving me two options, showing the name of a friend who also has an iPhone.
Can anyone help me?Dear Tim,
I saw your message. Below are the problems:
Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
The above is the challenges I am facing now. -
Even though I had my phone with me and was home asleep, my friend using the find my friends app thought I was moving all over town all night, as it showed that on the app. Has my phone been hacked?

I frequently use Find My Friends to make sure my kids get someplace safe. This AM my wife wakes up to an alert that says I left a bar 15 miles away from home at 1AM. I was laying beside her the entire night and hadn't left the house since 8PM.
My phone never left my possession. Does anyone have a clue how this could have occurred??
Does anyone else have access to your Apple ID & password?
