HT5538 I received a notification on my iPhone  that MY email address was being used on someone else's iPhone for iMessage.

I have 3 devices that use my email address for iMessage. I got a message today on my phone that says "Keith's iPhone is now using my email for iMessage"  I'm not Keith. I know someone named Keith, but why would he be using my email. How is this possible? Have I been hacked?

Change your password. Now.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • I received a notification on my iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is the Ipad is in possession of my ex girlfriend and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on my Iphone only?

    I received a notification on my Iphone recently that "Leroys Ipad" is now using my phone number for Imessage. The problem is that i no longer have that Ipad but my ex girlfriend does and we no longer communicate. How do i receive Imessage on MY PHONE ONLY or delete other devices not in my possession from my messages?

    You need to change your Apple ID password.  You could login to Find My iPhone and wipe that iPad if you felt the need to do so.

  • Received notification that Your Apple ID is being used for iCloud on a device that I do not know

    I have received notification that my Apple ID is being used for iCloud's on a new iPod touch. I do not recognize the device. This is the 2nd notice the first time I changed our password. How do we remove this device.

    Change the password without using email authentication as discussed here: Apple ID: Changing your password in case the other person has access to your email account.  If you aren't able to do that, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?

    Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
    "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
    Offered solution doesn't work:
    Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
    Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
    There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
    Many thanks,

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

    You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
    "When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
    To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
    On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
    On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
    On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
    If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

    I have reset my iPhone 5 and now it is asking me to activate my phone with my apple ID but when i put in my details in its say the my email address cannot be used to unlock my iPhone? help!

    You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock.  Where did you get this phone?

  • Updated my AppleID account info.  Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings.  I need to update that email address, how do I do that?  Thanks!

    Updated my AppleID account info.  Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings.  I need to update that email address, how do I do that?  Thanks!

    Thanks for the help Niel.  I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions.  After numerous guesses, finally got them right.  Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info.  Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again.   Thanks for the fast response!!

  • 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.

  • I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request.  He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!

    If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.

  • Not receiving twitter notification sounds in IPhone 5s.

    Hello all,
    I have bought iPhone 5s recently and downloaded the twitter app. Unfortunately, even after fiddling with all the sound settings, I do not receive the notification sound for twitter either when my tweet is re-tweeted, favourited or when I receive a mention. However, I always duly receive the email notification whenever any of the aforesaid action happens.
    A help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello Siddharth2014,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
    Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Have a nice day,

  • HT204053 can I use more than one email address on icloud (using iphone and mac)?

    I have an email account which seems to be using icloud, and I want to add another email account so that I can access it via icloud.  Is it possible to have more than one email address on icloud?  I have an iphone 5 and a macbook.

    You can only have one email account for each iCloud account.  You can create up to three alias addresses, but these will still receive email in the current account inbox.  This explains how to create an alias if you want to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
    You can create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and entering a different iCloud ID.  This will give you second iCloud email account but it will only be fetch email (not push).  Also, you can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device so this would use one of your allotted accounts.
