Imessage security issue with same Apple ID

My family uses one Apple id for purchasing music, books and apps.  I discovered that in using iMessage, my kids can access my text messages from iphones and ipads if I have imessage turned on.  How can I ensure security of my information and block access to my imessages?  I want to continue to share music, books and apps but want to be sure that nobody else can access my imessages.

There's a problem with some AppleIDs and iMessage and FaceTime.
Most of us with the problem are using iPads though. When mine didn't work on my iPad my ID didn't work on an iPod Touch either.
Call AppleCare.
As far as I know it's some kind of problem at Apple's side. Don't let them tell you it's a network or device problem - tell them it's an AppleID problem so they don't tell you you are out of warranty - her ID won't work on a new one either. Tell them your ID works on it but hers doesn't and take it to another network so you can say you did. It took a month but mine is working now. I don't know what they did though.
One thing you can try is making sure the time zone and time are correct. That's helped some people.
Check outimessage and Facetime sign in activation error iPad ios8.1.2 starting at page 18 to see what people are trying
Good Luck!

  • I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because no longer in US

    I'm having a billing issue with my apple id. I got my first iPhone today and I've signe din etc however before i can download any apps etc i need to resolve an old payment apparently. The problem is i cant enter my new card details because the issue is registered to when i was in America and i require to pay the funds from an American source. Any ideas how i can resolve this? It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK. I think i have posted this in the wrong area but anyone got any ideas?
    I have managed to change the rest of my accoutn being registered to the UK i think except this

    Hi..
    You can email Apple for help but the link is for the iTunes store not the Mac App Store. You've inadvertently poasted in the Using Mac App Store forum but that's ok. Billing issues are the same for the iTunes Store.
    Click here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    It wont accept my new card detail as im back in the UK
    Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    How can I recover an old/disused iCloud account. I was having some issues with my apple id so I restored my iPad, I am now stuck on the activation screen as I no longer use the iCloud account i used to set up the iPad and can't remember the address or pas

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • Any security issues with My MSN or outlook bookmarks

    any security issues with My Msn and Outlook as bookmarks

    Your question is not quite clear, and no Mac can iOS, but anything and everything made by or for Microsoft carries a security risk.
    Which is why most sensible people run Apple OS X.

  • Security issues with Lion

    Anyone know what the real deal is with OS X Lion security.  I've heard lots of things about how the recent Blackhat conference in Las Vegas said that Apple's security was not as good as Windows 7's.  Anyone know anything about this?  Thanks in advance for any feedback or input.

    I've downloaded Java for OS X Lion 2012-001 to fix the security issues with Java but when I open it to install it gives me an error message saying don't open it as it has a disk image issue (?) and may make my computer less secure or cause other issues? I don't understand why it would cause security risks when it is supposed to be a patch to fix them?!  Is it safe to go ahead and open/install?
    Could that be why Apple has released Java for OS X Lion 2012-002 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1515 ?

  • Security issue with unlocking my iPhone 4?

    I'm not sure if anyone here will be able to help me but I am trying to get my iPhone unlocked with AT&T. I bought my iPhone on contract through AT&T in December 2010. My account is in good standing. I paid my ETF, it's technically eligible to be unlocked. I called AT&T on April 9th for an unlock and it's now April 19th and still no wordd from them. I've called several times and they won't tell me what's going on other than that "there is a security issue with unlocking my iPhone and the issue is with Apple, but they are working on it." From my understanding, all AT&T needs is the unlock code to enter into the system and unlock it from there. I don't know what security issues could possibly exist that would create a problem. The only thing I can think of is that when I orginally bought my iPhone it turned out to be a lemon and had to get it replaced the day after I bought it. I did this through an Apple store since it was around Christmas. The IMEI number on my phone doesn't match the one AT&T has on file, but that shouldn't matter? I gave them the right IMEI number that is on my current phone. Does anyone know what "security issues" can exist when it comes to unlocking an iPhone 4?

    Don't stress over the words used by the customer service people at AT&T. Half of them don't know what they're talking about more than half the time.  You are probably correct in that it has something to do with their database being inaccurate. 
    Give it a few days, then contact them again and ask for it to be escalated.
    Ignor rNair. The idea that Apple made it mandatory for AT&T to do anything is complete and total bunk. (S)He has no idea what (s)he's talking about

  • Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

    Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
    Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
    Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
    If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
    Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
    I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
    I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
    Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

  • I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing.  Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures.  I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?

  • Severe Security Issue with Sharing Permissions and Windows

    I recently discovered a severe Security issue with the windows sharing an permission settings:
    I have two users, an admin user and a parental controlled user. On my mac mini, i have a external harddrive connected. On the harddrive, i have three folders, Itunes, Iphoto (Package) and a Temp Folder. I want to share the Harddrive RW for the admin, but only R for the parental user. But the Temp folder should be accessible for RW for the parental as well.
    1. I set the Drive checkbox "ignore ownership" off.
    2. I set the permissions of the drive to admin RW, parental R and Everyone to "no access"
    3. I apply to enclosed Items
    4. I set the permission of the Temp folder to admin RW, parental RW and Everyone to "no access"
    5. I apply to enclosed Items
    6. I go to "File Sharing" in the Preferences and activate SMB sharing for both users
    7. I delete all previous shares
    8. I add the Disk and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental R, Everyone "no access"
    9. I add the Temp folder and use the proposed permissions which are admin RW, parental RW, Everyone "no access" - Funny, there is a new Group called "Temp" created which has custom access on both sharepoints
    10. I connect to the mac over a Windows machine (NTLM auth set appropriatly). Now I try to create a folder on the root of the Disk share, I get a denied message.
    BUT WHEN I GO INTO A SUBFOLDER (eg. ITUNES or IPHOTO), WHICH HAS ALSO JUST "R" PERMISSION FOR THE PARENTAL USER, I AM ABLE TO RW, DELETE AND DO EVERYTHING!!!
    TO RECAPITULATE: THE SHARING PERMISSIONS ARE "R", AND THE FILE PERMISSIONS IN THE RESPECTIVE FOLDERS FOR THE RESPECTIVE USER ARE ALSO JUST "R". BUT THE USER CAN DO EVERYTHING IN THE SUBFOLDERS!!!
