I keep getting someone else's photos in my photo stream and can't delete them directly

Hi !
I noticed lately that I keep getting pics of someone else in my photo stream. I thought maybe that someone hacked into my cloud so I disabled it and the share feature for photos. This isn't the first time this happens, I used to get pics from this person before and then it stopped. I also changed my ID and password just in case, but I still don't know where this is coming from. I'm afraid that they might have been getting some of my pics too :S

Just as an interesting follow-up, I contacted Apple's technical support line to try to inform them of this privacy violation (i.e. That I've received photos of some guy's kids on my phone) and was told that they couldn't help me because I didn't have tech support coverage. I could, however, purchase said coverage for $60 or $70. I explained that I wasn't having a technical issue with my phone, but rather there was a back-end issue. I asked why I should pay to have them deal with a problem on their end, and a problem that is actually affecting someone else, since it's his photos that are getting broadcast. The Apple tech couldn't supply an answer to that. He did suggest that I change my password, though I can't imagine the issue is that some guy hacked my account so he could upload pictures of his family playing in the backyard or him attending a football game.

okay I've done everything regarding the transfer process (via file>transfer purchases) and syncing, so everything on my iPhone device seems to have been transferred to my iMac... however, I still get that message ("There are purchased items on the iPhone..."), trying to upgrade the iOS Have tried several times the same process of hitting transfer purchases via file, but nothing seems to make that message go away! Would have been nice to know which files I actually do need to transfer, which I don't get any info on of course...
Starting to get really annoying this thing.. Any smart suggestions what's going on?

TS1253 Once I save my photos to the airport time capsule; can I delete them from the computer drive?

Once my photos have been saved by the airport time capsule can I delete them from my computer hard drive.

Please think about this for a moment.
If you move your images to the Time Capsule...and delete them from your computer's hard drive......then, the only copy of the images that you will have will be on the Time Capsule.
So, now your "originals" are on the Time Capsule....since you deleted them from the computer's hard drive to create more space.
When...not if....the Time Capsule has a problem and you cannot access your images.......where will your backups of your images be?

I imported photos from iPhone and can't delete them

in iPhoto when I imported my photos into iphoto it gave me the option to delete the photos once imported. Now in Photos I no longer seem to have that option. In fact thee isn't even a trash can in iPhoto. How can I delete the photos from my iPhone that are already imported? I have 2 Gigs of photos and want to clear them off to make space, but I can't seem to find an option in Photos. What is going on?

Hmm, well I figured out how to get the option to delete photos on import back, you have to turn off iCloud Photo syncing. So to have iCloud Photo syncing on you can never delete photos from your phone? I thought the whole point of the iCloud Photo syncing was to keep all your photos online so you could access them where you wanted, but not have to take up space on your devices for your photos.
And now that I have figured this out I have to re-import my photos again and click the delete checkbox, but the best part is that it doesn't seem to work very well at all. It imported about half of the photos and not the other half, so I am having to import them again and then delete them.
Not only is this behavior not obvious, I really can't understand why the photos just stay on your iPhone if you have icloud sync on. I though the iCloud sync was to save space, not to keep them on your phone and in icloud. I just don't get what apple is trying to do here.

Why did deleted photos reappear on iPhone but I can't delete them now? They are not in my albums or photos stream. I do not use a laptop either. After a software upgrade they suddenly reappeared.

I have an iPhone and iPad & use the cloud. I do not use a Mac or laptop.
Several months ago I deleted a bunch of photos off both devices. After a software update on my iPhone, several of those photos reappeared. Since the update, there is a new way to look at photos by date and the appear there and only there on my iPhone only. They do not show up under the camera or photo stream. There is no option to be delete them from the phone.
I didn't do the software update on my iPad and they are on on that device, only the iPhone. I went to the apple store but they couldn't figure it out either.
Please help! My new boyfriend is going crazy about these old beau photos.

Not sure if this is the correct area but I synch my iphone and now I have a photo library on my phone and can't delete those photos and it has taken up all my storage

I backed up my iphone to my computer and now I have a photo library on my phone with all of the photos from my computer and it has taken up all of my storage on my phone. I can not delete the photos from my phone. How do I fix this?

Thats because you have selected to sync the pictures too in your iTunes library. You won't be able to delete these from iPhone. You will have to uncheck it under iTunes, under sync options. Or remove the pictures folder there, or move all the pictures from that folder to other location, and sync again, the pictures from your iPhone then will be gone.

Synced all of my computer photos to my iPhone and can't delete them

When I was trying to back up my iPhone on my computer I accidentally synced all my computer photos (over 3000) to my iPhone and cant delete them can you help??

You will need to use iTunes and sync again using the instructions from the quote below from Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
Delete synced photos
In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
Click Photos.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.

I keep getting strange emails dated 1970 that have no content and cannot be deleted, is this some form of virus

Hi, i keep geeting emals from "no sender" dated 1970 that are impossible to delete, is this a form of virus and how do i resolve it?

That has been my experience, also Demo...happens on my iPhone and iPad, but I have not paid attention to the dating. My experience has been that almost everytime I do a large amount of deleting, maybe need to note just how many or how many are left and see if there is a correlation, I get some "empty" emails appearing that I cannot delete. When that happens, I quit Mail, and then when I reopen Mail there is a full complement of emails present. Emails have been pulled in from those not being displayed due to the limit on number displayed that I am using.
My experience may not be the generic answer...it is the way this has been working for me, so whatever that is worth.
I haven't gone through the process you describe of reset, since the quit/restart has worked.
Obviously this is an "undcoumented feature" of Mail
Do you know if anyone has filed a bug report with Apple on this? Seems like an appropriate thing to do under the circumstances.

HT1766 Are my backed up files accessible (Texts, photos, videos, etc) ? and can I delete them?

Thanks!

That's not the point. My question was, after they're backed up into iTunes, can they be accessed? Like can people view my photos etc?

HT201317 Once I have loaded my photos on I cloud Can I delete them off my I Phone to fee up memory

I am new to using Icloud, once I have down loaded my photos from my Iphone to Icloud can I delete them off my Iphone to free up memory

You could but you're taking a chance on losing them if you do. Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. If you ever lose your phone, have to restore it, replace it, or turn off photo stream, you will only get back photos from the last 30 days.
To make sure your photos are safely backed up, import them to your computer while they are in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You will get an option to delete them from your phone after importing them.

TS3276 Why am I getting someone else's email in icloud acct?

I am getting someone else's email at my icloud.com account . This person has same email as me. Emails are all UK based

It is most likely that they have either mistyped their address or have somehow got the notion that your address is actually their address (inexperienced people do sometimes do this sort of thing).
Since you can't contact them (as you would just get the message back) I can only suggest responding to a suitable message to them and asking the sender if they can contact this person by another method and explain their error. As you have their credit card number possibly you could identify the card issuer (you could ask your bank - the first four digits would identify it) and contact them.
I don't think, given your description, that this is likely to be a phishing attempt.

I'm getting someone else's personal notes on my iPhone. How do I stop this?
I don't share my account with anyone. In my iPhone settings>iCloud>Notes is turned off. I checked my computer's iCloud notes and none of the other person's notes are on there. What am I suppose to do?

Sign out of iTunes & App Store and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
Settings>iTune & App Store>Apple ID>Sign out

Getting someone else's e-mails

For the past month I have been getting someone else's e-mails. It started with a warning that my account would be shut down if I didn't pay; then I got thank yous for renting two movies that I didn't rent. Now I have been told after several warnings that my account is good. I have contacted Verison three times to resolve the issue. All three times I was told that my two accounts were current and ignore. However, I am still getting someone else's e-mails. Evidently this is beyond Verizon's ability to fix - they cannot do a search on a particular e-mail and see what shows up. I am quite frustrated by this and there is someone else who is not getting his/her e-mails. Any suggestions other than simply ignore?

Can't give you advice, but will tell you I went though and still go through the same thing. Someone has an email that is similar to mine and I get all their personal emails, tax info, when they were buying a house, I emailed the people once I dug through and found the actual email, Verizon said there was nothing they could do. All I do now, is delete them as they come in. Its irritating though.
