HT5538 Can a hacker remotely send iMessages to my contacts from my Apple devices ?

1. Can a hacker access my iMessage remotely and send messages from my Apple devices to my contacts ? This happened twice with me, despite me changing my password.
2. Can Apple security dept. trace this hacker ?
3. Is this hacking considered a system fault ?
Thank you

Thanks for the response! I was wondering if it would be possible to contact Apple and ask them to manually link this phone number with my Apple ID, so that I could receive messages on both? Im guessing this wouldnt be possible?

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • Cannot send imessages to my contact anymore

    am currently using iphone 5s with latest updates.
    I was sending imessages to my contact till now. I was in a different city 2 days ago and was having trouble sending imessages so when the error message was provided to me saying "message not delivered" I checked the option of send the message as "text message". Now I am back in my home town and would like to communicate via imessage and my iphone will not allow me to send imessages to my contact anymore. The message I send goes like a text message which is in green.
    please help I like Imessage

    No. That was the first thing we checked. I am not blocked. And we can call each other without a problem.
    But like I said... if I RESEND the text and check "send as text message" (it will show up green on my iPhone instead of blue), he will receive it then. But on his phone, when he receives it, it still reads as a blue iMessage.

  • I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

    For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
    'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
    I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
    Ant ideas?

  • I'm can't get iMessage to work with all my Apple devices.

    So i cant seem to get iMessage to work across all my Apple devices. My wife and I use the same Apple ID but have different phone numbers. Is there a way to get all our messages on our shared devices and our personal messages on our phones? (iPad, iMac, MacBook Pro: Shared)

    Hi,
    I have this set up with one Mac and two iPhones  (Not Multiple Macs)
    I added the Apple ID to the Mac for iMessages.
    I then added the Apple ID to the first iPhone.
    I accepted the pop ups on the Mac so that the iPhone was Listed in Receive At (you might have to Restart the App on the Mac to trigger this).
    I then added the Apple ID to the Second iPhone and again accepted the pop ups in the Mac.
    IF this is what you think you did but it is not working remove the Apple ID from both iPhones
    Place the iPhones in Airplane mode fro a few minutes to Break with the server.
    when back in normal mode and in Settings > Messages check the iPhone number is ticked and active.
    (Send a Test message to the Apple ID (Mac) to check)
    Add back the Apple ID if the test works.
    Restart the Mac version to trigger the pop ups and Accept.
    Repeat the set up with tests for send iPhone.
    I have never set this up with one ID on two or more computers but it should work.

  • I can't sign in to imessages and face time with my apple ID, how i can fix it ?

    I can't sign in to imessages and face time with my apple ID, how i can fix it ?

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I had a contact added mistakenly as an iphone contact now it tries to send imessages to that contact instead of a regular text, any help?

    I had a contact added mistakenly as an iphone contact now it tries to send imessages to that contact instead of a regular text, any help?

    Something doesn't make any sense here, because iMessage ONLY works between you and anyone using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5, you couldn't iMessage someone that DIDN'T meet those requirements, if you wanted to. Are you positive this contact does not meet the requirements to iMessage?

  • I am not able to send sms to certain contacts from my iphone5

    hi
    iam not able to send message to certain contacts from my iphone5

    Hi sri_sr,
    If you are unable to send SMS messages to certain contacts, we may need to check a few things:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
    - See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
    - Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
    - When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
    - If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
    There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

    If it iwas registered to your account then you should be able to get it from your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    If not then do you have a backup of the iPad on your computer's iTunes ? If you do then in iTunes go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences if using a Mac) and on the Devices tab on that hover your mouse pointer over the iPad's backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061
