Strange things that have happend:

1. Background changed to defalt mavericks one
2. Background changed to plane light blue and when I went to change it told my the name of the background was ?
3. My mum was buying an itunes card for me on itunes and It told her to type in all her creidit card info (she never has to because on keychain)
4. This morning her computer told me that someone else was useing our ip address (i know the router didint have anything to do because we have never touched it and its fine on my macbookpro)
I know it doesnt seem like much but it should not be happening!!!!
IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOING ON OR HOWTO FIX IT PLEASE HELP ME
Background changed to plane light blue
If the desktop picture always reverts to a plain blue background, one of your login items may be causing the problem. The "TeamViewer" application can have this effect; see this thread. If it's not that in your case, rule out all other third-party login items as possible causes.

How can you tell if your computer is being hacked
We got a call this morning from someone at Microsoft stating that our computer is being hacked. I don't trust this notification.

I'm really glad you didn't fall for it. If you had let them into your computer, they would have stolen all your information. It makes me SO mad. -
After installing Reader 11.0.07 update on my iMac OS X, v.10.8.5, when I open an Adobe pdf file I see Chinese script next to the blue loading bar at the bottom of the screen. This never appeared before when downloading pdf files and I am worried that my computer is being hacked into or I acquired a virus. Is this normal or do I have to uninstall this update?

Help with skype account after being hacked
Hey,
My skype account got hacked - someone got my password, changed it, and messaged all of my contacts asking for money. I recovered my password, got my account back, and have messaged all my contacts to tell them not to send any money.
However, they also managed to message a load of my Grandmother's contacts through my account, although I'm not sure how they did this, and I'm not sure how to check to see if they've messaged any others (I only know about my Grandmother's contacts because she told me).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.Hi, Olyaz, and welcome to the Community,
Neither have I concluded how the perpetrator could have accessed your grandmother's contacts by using your account. Instead, I suspect that your grandmother's account was also compromised (hacked).
Ensure your account passwords are robust (good information is in the articles referenced in my signature block, below). I would also run an anti-virus/malware/spyware scan on your and your grandmother's computers, using the most recent virus signature files available. For avoidance of doubt, ensure all updates and patches are also installed, and that things such as Adobe and Java are updated.
Regards,
Elaine

Help! My computer is being annoying!
So today, Easter, I got Sims 3 games and stuff. Well when I tried to put in the disk it didn't catch. I had this problem before but now what I used last time, pressuried air, isn't working. I tried to reset my PRAM and stuff but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
You have a problematic optical drive that needs either cleaning or replacement. Bring it to an Apple store.

ICloud account been removed because fear of being hacked can anyone help? Thanks
Can anyone help? iCloud account has been removed in the fear of account being hacked!!!
icloud sent me links to try and fix it but keeps coming up error page cannot be found.
could someone advise me what to do
tthanksIt's yet another email scam to try and get your Apple ID and password. I also just learned from Apple last week that an iCloud account is permanently attached to your Apple accout. That is, the same one you used to login and post here. Had your iCloud actually been removed, your ability to post here under that same account would also be gone.

I think my computer has been hacked, help please?
Hi,
A couple of days a go, after having my laptop for nearly two years, I have started to have major issues with it. When I log on, as soon as I get on to my desktop, without any encouragement, it starts doing its own thing such as the mouse moving around in a very jagged manner and generally resisting anything I attempt to do. It is making my computer incredably slow and its so frustrating. Even worse, I am frightened I may have picked up something and that someone is controlling my machine but the issue is I know so very little about computers, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have changed browsers (used to use Safari, now I use FireFox) and have backed up all my files on to a hard drive and am thinking about restoring the mac to it's factory settings but I am unsure whether this would mean I would lose all my applications which I desperately can't afford to do. It only happens occasionally, so at the present it is fine but it occurs out of the blue and is very unnerving. I have two anti virus programmes on here: ClamXav and iAntiVirus which suggest that there are no virus found on the computer. I have also been monitoring the activity monitor and although nothing has particularly drawn much attention, it can be fair to say I am not entirely sure what I am looking for.
Is there any way to double check to see as to whether my computer is infected and if so what would be my next move?
Muchly appreciatedThe anti-virus software is not the problem. Yes, Shootist is correct that AV software can be almost as much of a problem as getting infected with malware, but ClamXav is one that is good. Having two isn't so good, though, so ditch iAntivirus at least. And see my Mac Malware Guide for more information to protect yourself from malware.
Similarly, the firewall is also not the problem. You almost certainly do not need a firewall. See Do I need a firewall? for more information on that.
Most likely, you are not being hacked. If I understand you correctly, it doesn't seem like the mouse has any purpose to its actions - is that correct? If so, my first thought would be that your battery has gone bad and is expanding, and in the process is pressing on the underside of the trackpad. That is a known cause of this kind of behavior. Though I must admit I've never seen a battery expand, it does happen. I'd advise getting the machine looked at by Apple ASAP.
If the movements do appear purposeful, someone could be playing a prank on you. Check System Preferences -> Sharing and make sure everything there is turned off. If Screen Sharing is on, someone may have been using that to access your machine, most likely someone who knows your MobileMe password (if you have MobileMe) or someone on the same local network that you're using.

my account is being hack...pls help me..i play coc on my ipad someone is medling with my account..
What account? You say that you "play coc" (whatever that is)... if it is your account in that game that is being hacked, we can't help you with that. You would need to contact the maker of that game.
If it's something else, like your Apple ID, we can offer advice. -
On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?
I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing.
What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.
Ciao. -

-
Dear Apple support, how can i delete my itunes account as i think im being hacked!! over the past few months a lot of money seems to be taken from my account ranging from as little as £1 to £60... i cant take any more. Can i delete the account? Can u help me plase as i dont know what to do! Regards Teresa
Go into your iTunes account and eliminate the payment method to none. Then change the password. FInally notify iTunes support of your problem. You will find ways to contact iTunes support on this website. Email works very well with iTunes support.
You do not want to delete your account and there is no need to do that to prevent further hacking. The reason is that any purchases of music, Apps, movies or whatever made with your iTunes account will be associated to that account and you can redownload them if you change iPhones, get an iPad or to your computer. If you were able to delete the account, which you cannot do, you would have to repurchase everything. -
How can I check if I am being hacked? I think I am!
I am very suspicious that I am being hacked....like the kind where they can watch your screen and see through your webcam. How would I go about checking to see if this is true? Is there a way?
My computer has been freezing up and three times now a message box has popped up with the icon of the yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside, but before I can read what it says or manually close it, it goes away......
Also, I had posted this question before, along with a similar post on here yesterday, and they were beginning to receive comments back, and now they're gone. I haven't deleted anything from here, so does apple remove my posts, or is someone else....?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!need_help45 wrote: ... if there is a way to find out if I'm being hacked.
Hacking of webcam control need not be a concern for Mac OS X users.
If you are using Windows, you are wise to be cautious and take every possible precaution against Windows' security weaknesses, whether running on a PC or on a Mac (and whether via OS X Boot Camp or one of the PC emulators that runs inside OS X.)
For OS X Macs, the only way I know to make the webcam "hackable" would be for you (or someone else who had access access to your Mac) to modify or somehow damage your Mac or its software. Unless an "administrator" of your particular Mac has installed, activated, and authorized Apple Remote Desktop or some other software for remotely operating your Mac, it is highly unlikely that anyone can be using your cam without your explicit permission and action. The reliable way to prevent this is to carefully control physical access to your Mac so it cannot be modified.
However, if you are convinced that your Mac has unwanted software that you cannot identify, securely erase your entire startup disk. Then reinstall a fresh copy (not from your backups) of OS X and all necessary apps and updates. Finally, copy your important user data files to the fresh system from your backup to your fresh system.

I CANNOT ACCESS TO THE ITUNES STORE, it doesn´t even let me see what albums are available. I don´t know whats going on it tells me to check my network connection but I am using this computer to post messages here on the apple support but it doesn´t get in to the itunes pages.
Thanks for the no help peopleiTunes hacked ? Just do not see how those things are related. There must be just dozens of fora filled with this issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4520817#4520817
for example.
You're not alone but most probably your iTunes is not being hacked.
Just out of curiosity, what release of iTunes are you all using ? I'm seeing that most of people having this problem have the 7.1.1 installed (I do).

Is there some way to test to see if my computer has been hacked?
Can someone tell me how I can test my computer to determine if it has or is being hacked?

...what is filevault? And now that you know the firewall was off, does that mean it could have been hacked?
Not Dave, but I'll try to give you some answers.
In System Preferences->Security click on the "?" in the lower left hand corner to learn how to make your computer more secure. When you finish doing that type "About FileVault" in the search box in the upper left corner of Mac Help to learn what filevault is. It has been known to cause issues with backups and if you forget your password there is no way to recover the information in your home folder. They have revamped this capabiltiy in Lion (FileVault 2) to improve it, but I don't think users have had much of a chance to check it out to see how capable it is. Since I don't use it I hesitate to comment.
It's slightly more probable that you have been hacked with the firewall off through remote access, but now much.
Since I already paid for MacKeeper- thinking it was an Apple product, and seeing what is known about their ethics - which does matter to me, can I really get rid of it, thoroughly?
MacKeeper support says that you can completely remove it by dragging it to the trash and answering a question about why you don't want it. After you do that, the uninstaller is supposed to remove everything. Users have found that their keychain still contained passwords for mackeeper or zeobit which shouldn't cause any problems. A user the other day said they searched their hard drive and found three left over files, but I don't think they ran the uninstaller. Depending on what features you activate you may have to Log out or restart your computer to completely stop the processes running in the background, but the uninstaller should have taken care of that, as well.
If you decide to uninstall it and want a list of the known places to look for files let me know and I'll provide you with the list I have. -
How do I know If my computer has been hacked?
I think my Mac just got hacked into. I was working on a doc. that had personnel information- names. Phone #s and my home street address. my mac book pro froze up and when it unfroze, all of the names, phone#s and my address changed to ?/-\|# After I stared at the screen w disbelief for less than 1 sec. Word closed it down. After 2 min. Word brought the 2 word doc. I was working on back onto the screen. I looked at the personnel info, and saw the names, phone numbers and my street address in numbers and words. It looked like as if nobody touched my Mac. What should I do? I need help badly. If my computer has been hacked, the information they took, can they steal identity, credit card #s with just phone #s and first&last names besides my street address. I havent touched my computer since thus happened. I'm my iPhone. Should I turn off my computer? Also ididnt save the doc. I was working on. a box came up and said "this file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK and give the document a new namein the Save dialog box( AutoRecovery save of document1)". What should I do? I'm not making this up. I watched everything without realizing what happened. Should I have turned my computer off while it was in the middle of the proscess? Help! Help!
You have not been hacked. Something went wrong with Word and it crashed, and something must have reopened Word. (The system will usually ask if you want to reopen a crashed app... did you see such a message?) Word must have simply reopened the docs you had open when it crashed.
It's actually quite difficult to hack a Mac, and pretty much requires you to help out by opening it up for potential access by hackers.
