"iPhone 4S is being erased" - iCloud Email Received

I recieved an received an email this weekend from iCloud stating that my iPhone 4S is being erased. I did not initiate the "wipe" of my device. Is it possible that this is an issue on Apple's side? Have other experienced a similar issue?

To be safe, you should change your iCloud password in case it's been compromised.  Go to https://iforgot.apple.com and change it.  You'll then have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the new password.  (When you delete the account it only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud.  It will also delete any synced data from your phone but this will be restored to the phone when you sign back in.)

  • IPhone 6 sending iMessage through iCloud email

    My iPhone is sending iMessage through Icloud email? How do I fix this?

    Open settings app on your phone
    tap messages
    select send and receive
    uncheck your Apple ID and check your phone number.
    also makes sure SMS is ON
    To be accurate, your text messages are sent via apple servers to other apple users, using your Apple ID  

  • Can icloud email receive email messages from another account by automatically retrieving them like my iphone does. Microsoft calls this pop mail

    I have an iphone and an ipad. I don't have an Exchange email account pulling all my messages from my verizon email account into my apple devices. My husband uses his Outlook computer at work to create 2 Inboxes on his iphone (one is his work email Inbox and one Inbox is his pulling from his personal account). I noticed using an Exchange-type email program with the iphone allows for features I want. I want to check email on my phone and ipad. I ALSO want to be able to file emailed coupons into an Inbox coupon folder on my phone and ipad for easy retrieval. It seems the icloud email program will let you do all of this. It also seems Google offers gmail and it will do this for me. Now that I set up an icloud email address, I can't figure out how to get Verizon email pulled into it. My iphone and ipad pulls my Verizon email but does not allow for Inbox folders. Verizon won't auto-forward emails to another account. Gmail will pull them for me though. Will icloud do this?

    Verizon netmail just offered auto email Forwarding. So, even though icloud might might not offer the services Gmail and other email programs offer to pull email, it seems I might still be able to accomplish what I want using the other email account's ability to forward my email to my icloud email address. We'll see. Please reply if you know the answer to the icloud's ability to pull email in a way like pop-mail does for pc users. It would have helped me if I could've found the answer to that question in this support forum...

  • Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

    A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
    How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync? 
    On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
    On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
    iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
    My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

    Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.

  • Can I add my icloud email account to my phone if my phone is not an iPhone?

    I do not have an iphone but I have a basic smart phone, however we just bought a new Mac desktop that has the icloud email service.  I was just wondering if I could add my iCloud account to my phone without my phone being an Iphone.

    You can add your iCloud email account to your phone by using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.  While these apps aren't free, if your phone is an android, you could also look into using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars.

  • Why is my apple ID as my iCloud email address just on iPhone

    For some reason, only in my iphone.... my icloud email is my Apple ID.... i tried changing it under settings>  Mail,Contacts,Cal>  iCloud>  Account>   Mail  but for some reason the email address is grayed out and doesn't let me change it... i tried deleteing the account from the phone and doing it all over again and still not go...

    Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting passwords, questions, whatever is needed to maintain the security of the account.

  • ICloud email down?

    It doesn't matter what I'm on, whether it's my iPhone or my Macbook, my iCloud email WILL NOT WORK. I need it to work as well, because finals are this week and I'm trying to get ahold of my professors about them...REALLY aggervating.

    Working for me, also iCloud system status shows everything is working right now: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/.  Not sure why yours isn't working but you may want to get a free gmail account to use until you can figure it out: https://accounts.google.com/SignUp.

  • ICloud email discrepancies in Mail and iOS

    I use Mail 7.0 on my MacBook Pro and I have iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone 5.  Regarding my iCloud email, I am finding discrepancies between my iCloud Inboxes.  Some messages appear in my inbox on my laptop but not on my phone, and vice versa.  I've verified that no filters are present on either.  Any suggestions?
