I've got someone else's photos on my photostream

My photostream has disappeared and I now have someone else's photos in my photostream. How do I get rid of them and get my photos back.
I Haven't updated my software or lost any of my apple devices so I don't know why this is happening.

No I don't share my Apple ID or iTunes account, the photos aren't local either. I've now changed my apple password so I think that'll stop it but now all my photos are gone, I assume on someone else's photostream?

Found someone else's photos in my iCloud Photo Library?

Hello. I was just going though my photo library on iCloud.com and I noticed 4 random entries for "Yesterday," stuck in the middle of the Moments list. Three of them were just blank black photos supposedly taken on a street nearby and another was taken on another nearby street but clearly depicts a pile of clothing and someone's leg I have never seen before. Is someone else's photo library crossing with mine? Are other people receiving my photos? What can be done about this? It is very, very bad news!

Change the password for your iCloud account. If you have not already done so, turn on two step authentication.

How to delete someone else's photos on my iPad 2

Just purchased iPad2 and setup with someone else's laptop. I now have about 600 photos in my photo app that are not mine. How do I.delete these images.

I did sync my iPad 2 to my pc. However, those 'someone else's photos are still in the photo app. I also have a small quantity of photos on my iPhone and iPod touch that did not transfer to the new iPad.

Someone else's photos (333 of them) showed up as mounted folder after crash

So iPhoto has been crashing a lot as I have been updating keywords using Keyword Assistant (I recently imported ~3500 pictures). When iPhoto re-opens after a crash, sometimes I lose some of the changes I recently made.
But to my big surprise, when it auto-reopened iPhoto after the most recent crash, I had 333 photos in a mounted folder (with an eject button) labeled "Joe Schmoe's Photos" dated 2006/09/29 to 2007/08/05. I do not know this person, do not recognize the photos, and I seem to have pictures dated through yesterday. I am not a .Mac subscriber, nor do I share my photos online through iPhoto, but it would seem that I have been granted access to Joe Schmoe's photos.
If I indeed have been accidentally granted access to someone else's photos, this is a huge security concern! I have a screen shot of this and will share it with an Apple developer/employee, but do not want to post it here because of privacy issues related to showing someone else's pictures to the world.
If anyone has any ideas of what else might be going on, I'm all ears.
Note the following:
-I was connected to the internet(wirelessly) at the time of the crash/re-open.
-These photos are not in my library, but seem to be a separate mounted folder.
-The name does not show up in searches of my computer nor in the finder/desktop as a mounted drive.
-There is no exposure info on any of the pictures
-When it crashed and reopened (again, just now), Nathan Bowen's photos are still there, but it seems to take time to load them (like they're downloading perhaps)

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

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.

My photos contain someone else's photos and my phone settings are scrambled. I also receive someone else's messages after 7.0.3 update?

I have photos on my 4s of someone else, taken in a very different area than what I am in. Also receiving some of their imessages?

is there any chance that your icloud is signed into their account or them on your's?

Got someone else's details on my iPad, need help quick

Ok, I really need help, I work on my new iPad 3 a lot, and my contacts mean a lot to me, but today I opened up my contacts and found names and numbers that i had never seen before in my life, then I opened up the photo stream and realised some girls Random Pictures had turned up...I don't want anything to do with this other persons information. And I don't want them having the ability to access mine, as it is important and private... Why is this happening, why is someone else information merging onto my device, I need immediate help as I'm loosing valuable time. Many thanks.

Go to settings>icloud, and make sure its your account there and not someone elses, and if possible go to icloud.com on a COMPUTER not the device and log in with your apple id, if you feel your account has been jeopardized please call in the apple support line and ask to speak with a iOS Senior advisor

Receiving someone else's photos in my Photo Stream through iCloud.

I've been using Photo Stream on iCloud for almost a year with no issues. Last week, some random guy's photos started appearing in my stream. The pics seem to be from an American account (or at least he was attending an NFL preseason game), while I live in Canada. I'm a little uncomfortable with what seems like a pretty serious privacy issue and I'm obviously wondering if he can see my photos too. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Got someone else's tracking number...wth?

So I'm in the same boat as all of you. Preordered a 6+ last Friday, with an expected ship date of 10/14. Ok fine. I checked my order status on Monday (with MY confirmation number and MY last name) and got a tracking number. At that point, I was shocked. Tracked the package this morning and it's headed to New York. WTH? I'm in Washington state. How do I put in my order information and get someone else's tracking number??? Beyond frustrated!!!

I just had the same thing happen to me today. Ordered the 6 plus 64GB on 9/12 space grey with a delivery date of 10/7. Then I got a tracking number about 1.5 hrs ago. It was going to NC and I'm in Atlanta. Now the tracking number is missing. Customer service when I ordered the phone said 9/19. Then when I got the confirmation it changed to 10/7. This is annoying. I have no idea what's going on anymore. Just hope it comes to me soon.

Someone else's picture on my Photostream

First time posting on here so be gently
I've just been looking through my photos on my AppleTV device and found that there is a photo on there that I didn't take (i.e. - Someone elses photo !!).
How is it possible that I have an image from someone else's stream and more importantly, does this mean that my photos could be floating around on someone else's ???
I've also checked on my Mac and the photo doesn't have any location information, but has a time and date of Feb last year on a day that I was at work.
It's also quite clearly taken in another country and I haven't even been abroad in the past few years (Sad I know ).
Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers all

I don't have an answer, but a possibly related situation (pre-Photostream). Several years ago I was on a cruise and the ship had free wifi all over, including the cabins. I had my MacBook Pro with me, and one day the woman in the cabin next to mine told me that she had opened iPhoto on her own Mac and all my pictures were there. She didn't know what to do and was afraid to delete them, so she left them alone. Later they were gone. I never understood why this would happen.
Also, before I had Photostream, my iPad (I) had only one picture on it, and it was one that I had never seen before and that looked like it was taken in another country.
Could this picture be an Apple "Easter egg"?

Someone else's photos are popping up in my photo stream? Anybody else have a similar problem?

As the topic says. It's funny that after #theFappening Apple seems to have another problem with iCloud. The photos that are popping up have been taken with an iPhone 5S, I however have an iPhone 5 regular. There are always three photos. Whenever I check on the photos app there are new three photos, with the last ones disappearing. Very discomforting to think that somebody else might have my photos the same way.

Well, my apologies to Apple for saying they have an embarrassing glitch. It turns out the fault was on my end. What happened: a friend of mine (Windows PC owner) was unable to transfer his photos to his PC. He asked if he could use my Mac and transfer them via iPhoto. Of course I helped and even turned off my wifi, so that his photos wouldn't turn up in my photo stream. After we transferred and exported the pictures to a USB stick, I immediately deleted them from iPhoto, but it seems like a bunch of photos somehow still managed to get into my stream.
I just hope his dick doesn't pop up in my stream. Wouldn't want to have to explain that to my wife, as we are using an iPad at home which is connected to my stream as well.

Got someone else's mail in iCloud

Last week, amid yet another of the iCloud slowdowns/outages, I had a weird situation pop up that I thought you guys would get a kick out of
I was signed into iCloud. I couldn't get mail, as the servers were down, but I could see my message list. I was working on something else when I noticed the screen flash and my message list updated. I went to the list and it turned out the messages were not mine. They looked to belong to a dummy account, as the vast majority of the messages were Apple message, ie., Welcome to iLife, Welcome to MobileMe, etc.
There was one message, though, that had a tax document attached. I didn't open it, nor did I open any of the messages, but I did videotape it. When I hit the cloud and went back to the switch screen, I saw I was signed in still. I clicked on mail again and it was that same person's messages.
After about a half hour or so, the screen flashed again and my messages came back.
I did record the video with my iPhone, but when I called AppleCare, they didn't act as if they believed it.

This unit has access to my notes, and other information?
Это устройство имеет доступ к моим записям, и другой информации?

I got someone else's "Welcome to Skype" email.

I just received an email, apparently from Skype, welcoming "markbhona11" to the Skype family. I have no idea who that is or why he used my email when signing up. Could have been a typo on his part. I am concerned that I am going to start getting billed by Skype or some other scam. Please advise.

It is possible that someone created an account and registered your email address accidentally or intentionally. You can contact customer support and request to unlink that unknown account to your email address.

Someone else's pics on my iPhoto

Yesterday I was importing my pics to iPhoto so I could send them to the iWeb pages I'm putting together. About 1/2 way through my computer started acting up. Photos would not drag or drop nor move, files wouldn't move and iPhoto would crash and quit.
When I brought it back up I had someone else's photos on there too, all 400 of them! Thank goodness they were of a nice family. I couldn't get rid of them. So got out of iPhoto, then back in and all was where I left my work.
This happened twice. I don't have sharing on either.
Crazy. Anyone else have this happen?
Allie

Allie:
I suggest you go to the Airport forum and ask how to set the security of your wireless network to the highest level possible. There's more at stake than just photos.
Do you Twango?
