ICloud hacked and account deleted

Hi everyone,
So last night while I was out and my iPhone kept asking me to enter my iCloud password and I kept ignoring it because I was busy.
This morning I realised that my iPhone, iPad and MAC book were all asking me to enter my ID and password and then were telling me my password was incorrect.
I went online to the iFind thing and it told me that the birth date I was putting in did not match my iCloud ID.
I went to try and sign up for a new iCloud account with the ID that has been hacked and it told me the email IS available. Which would mean that my account has been deleted or someone has changed the primary email address?
Am I correct in thinking this? I am just worried about my credit card details, I can't remember if they were current but they had been stored on there from what I recall.
I was also sent an email last night twice to my primary email address telling me that there had been changes to my account it said:
The following changes to your Apple ID were made on DATE and TIME.
Apple ID
Email address(es)
Then it says if you need additional help go to this link. What I think is ridiculous is that I can't contact Apple on a Sunday and there is no link to anything saying "If you did not make these changes click here".
Also my other question is if I make a new iCloud ID and set all my devices up with it will I lose everything?
Thanks,
Melkeh.

Someone has hacked your Apple ID/iCloud account, and they are trying to prevent you from regaining access. You need to contact Apple immediately, according to the link randers4 gave you. If you delay, it's possible they could make it impossible for you to ever regain access to your Apple ID.
There are two problems with this. First, since your phone is running iOS 7 and has Find My iPhone turned on, you will not be able to reset your phone without knowing the Apple ID password. The hacker could remotely lock your phone, remotely erase it or even look up your physical location, and without that password, you cannot stop him. Further, if he manages to lock you out of your Apple ID permanently, you will also be locked out of your iPhone permanently. There will be no way to erase the phone and get it working again.
Second, all the purchases you have made using your Apple ID are tied to that Apple ID. If you lose access to that Apple ID, you lose all those purchases as well.
If the hacker manages to enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, that will effectively lock you out of your Apple ID permanently. Once enabled, Apple will not, and cannot, do anything to help you regain access. There is a three day "waiting period" for enabling two-factor authentication, giving you a short period of time in which to contact Apple and regain access to your Apple ID. You MUST act within that period of time. There is normally an e-mail sent when a request is made to enable two-factor authentication, but if the hacker has changed all the e-mail addresses on your Apple ID, you would no longer receive that e-mail.
In short - get on the phone to Apple, and do it fast before you lose your chance, and thus lose your Apple ID, your phone and all your purchased apps/music/movies/etc!

  • If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    If I restored my new iPhone from iCloud backup, and I delete the old iPhone backup to make room on iCloud to back up my new phone, will it delete everything on the new phone?

    I have this exact same issue.  Replaced my iPhone 4s with the new iPhone 5s, setting up my new iPhone 5s to restore from iCloud.  This completed and now I am unable to delete my old iPhone 4s iCloud backup (consuming 15.1 GB of my 20GB allocation).  How can I delete it, so that I get my 15 GB back?  I am not going to invest in additional iCloud storage, because I will be 15 GB down from the off.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to  free up space on my iPhone?I would  still like to keep them somewhere where they can  be accessed.

    Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to  free up space on my iPhone?I would  still like to keep them somewhere where they can  be accessed.

    One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

  • ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

    I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full.  Okay, I get it.  So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full.  I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud.  I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker.  So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it?  I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do.  Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions?  I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone.  Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating.  Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

  • Hacked and accounts absorbed by a different acc

    So its around 1:32 am in the morning and something extremely weird happened that i cant even use my phone anymore.
    So it started by someone trying to add me on facetime it was a weird acc *****@outlook.jp which I denied and I didn't give much importance to it...
    Today I tried to update my apps since I swap between 2 phones an android and my iPhone.
    Every time I tried to update my apps iTunes or iCloud kept saying that my psw was wrong. Which it wasn't, so I though maybe I did forgot. So I went back and reset but it still didn't work.
    After that I factory reseted which didn't do anything at all. Kept saying that the psw was bad. So I decided to  restore it with my computer. Which btw work fine I put my email(icloud acc) I went through just fine and then I got prompt up to this window which lists my e-mail acc which I have like 3 of them.
    But the weird thing is the email ****@outlook.jp showed up in there which CLEARLY was not my acc so I unchecked it. After few screen over the phone was set up
    But it wasn't mine anymore it started showing that ****@outlook.jp and i mean how did it got there?
    I've never chose it in the first place. Its not my account and it all started by this person trying to add me.. Now my phone has the Find my Phone feature which while setting it up I didn't even check it.
    I have no idea whats going on but I had to delete all my personal data from icloud, e-mail , and others. I don't know if any of you went through this situation but its clearly not pleasant.
    If any of you know a way that I could fix this problem which I don't know if its possible.
    And one more thing before I forgot All my accounts are linked to that weird *****outlook.jp. This is a new account I just created..
    I'll be more than happy if I really could fix this problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • How do I delete an old icloud account off my phone if the email address had been hacked and the password has been changed?

    My old email was hacked and since then my passwords have been changed. I have a new apply ID which if fine, but my phone is asking me for my old apple ID password before I can delete it from my ICloud. The problem is I cant reset the password and my birthday verification isnt working. I am unable to do anything in icloud because it is forever telling me my password is wrong. my new apple ID seems to be working on every other part of my phone. Any ideas what to do?

    Well you can try this, but I'm not sure it's going to work if this is an entirely new ID.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
