Someone has remotely hacked into my iPhone!

Ok, so here's the deal I keep on getting incoming phone calls from different people in my phone book and all I hear is rustling. But the last time it happened it was my girlfriends number and a guys voice said "hahahahah "F" you" so i had a convo with the guy and he wouldnt telll me his name. I know she is not with this guy because I am with her. The weird thing is although my phone shows she is calling me, it doesnt show that she called me in her outgoing calls. Thats why I think my phone is being hacked into. I have had 5 different phone calls from different numbers(4 hers, and one another persons number) Whats the deal!?

Your iPhone is not being hacked. It is a jerk who is using a number spoofing service to present a false number on your caller ID.

I see "imac-54f9d5" under the "Shared" heading in my finder. I am not connected to any printers or other Mac devices. Is it possible that someone is remotely accessing my system? How can I figure out what this is?

is it your imac?
is it your your router's name?
are you by any chance connected to another wifi router then your own because the other one was open and not password protected?

Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their computer to read my messages without me knowing? If so how can I stop that?

Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their Mac to read all my current messages? And if so how can I stop it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I really doubt it. To do that, that person must have stolen your Apple ID email and password, and then, log in Messages in his/her iPhone with your Apple ID to read your messages. The Apple ID of an iPhone doesn't change when you connect it to your Mac, so don't worry

Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone?

Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone? My brother knows exactly what I've been doing on my iphone, playing games, listening to music, whatever and he tells my mom. Is there any apps that can do that? He's also not anywhere near me. He's kinda far away from me and he calls my mom and tells her that I've been doing this and that on my iphone. I was just wondering how he could do that.

Only if your iPhone has been jailbroken or he has access to your
Apple ID and password.

Is it possible for someone to scan someone else's card with Apple Pay?

Hi All,
Can't find a concrete answer on this, but maybe someone here knows.
Is it possible for someone to scan someone else's card into Apple Pay?
My fear is now that apple pay is out there, picture this:
Someone goes and buys an "Unlocked iPhone" with cash from a apple store. So now its not locked or setup to anyone or any carrier.
That same person works in a restaurant. Takes your card at checkout and walks off to ring up the bill. Instead, they scan your card and enter it into Apple Pay on this new unlocked device.
They now have your card, verified the security code on the card, entered your name, and then (on wi fi) it authenticates and sets itself up.
They then give you back your card, you leave.
After their shift, they go and pay $1000 on your card , then delete it, and next day, they come back and do it all over again.
Not saying this is feasible, but what is stopping someone from doing that? Today, they need your billing info if they do, which they wouldn't have, but this seems to be very quick to authenticate and allow that device access to spend.
Just wondering if Apple would be asking for authentication via apple ID, or something else to prevent fraudulent scanning of cards.
Any thoughts?

This was posted a little bit after your query.
Note: This article is misleading in that the "security issue" wasn't really about Apple Pay...
http://consumerist.com/2014/10/24/apple-pay-lets-man-scan-use-wifes-citi-credit- card-without-additional-verification/
To summarize, your bank will usually send a code to your phone number or email to authorize the card.

Is someone trying to hack into my computer via the app store?

Apple alerted me that my ID and password have been hacked into by someone in the US downloading a free app - which arrived on my i-pad.
I've changed my password - is this sufficient - or should I change my Apple ID as well.
Since then - all my emails indicate the time as an hour behind the actual time - is this related - or just a mal-functioning coincidence?
Is it possible for someone to hack into my computer using my Apple details as a way in?
Any advice - gratefully received!

Apple alerted me that my ID and password have been hacked into by someone in the US downloading a free app - which arrived on my i-pad.
That certainly sounds like the symptoms of a hacked Apple ID. Note that you should not click on any of the links in the e-mail you received. Instead, go straight here:
http://appleid.apple.com
Change your password, making sure to select a strong one that cannot be guessed. Then, I'd strongly encourage you to turn on two-factor authentication to prevent people from taking total control of your Apple ID:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
should I change my Apple ID as well.
Changing your Apple ID would mean losing all purchases you have made with your current Apple ID. That's not a solution to this problem, and will cause you other headaches.

Coincidence, most likely. I can't see any reasonable way for these things to be related.
Is it possible for someone to hack into my computer using my Apple details as a way in?
If someone gets access to your iCloud account (which, for most people, is their Apple ID), they certainly may be able to hack your computer in a variety of ways. If you have turned on Back to My Mac, they can get access to your computer that way through your iCloud account. If you have turned on Find My Mac, they can locate, lock or even remotely erase your computer using your iCloud account. Both of these would be enabled - and can be disabled - in System Preferences -> iCloud.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?
I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

HT5557 Is there a way to purchase itunes books for someone else as a gift (Christmas) and give them the codes without automatically downloading the purchase for me? Or is an itunes giftcard the only way to go?

Is there a way to purchase itunes books for someone else as a gift (Christmas) and give them the codes or printout receiptwithout automatically downloading the purchase for me? Or is an itunes giftcard the only way to go?

TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbooks

Is it possible for Apple Time Capsule place iphoto library and use it with my macbook pro & macbook air? How about the simultaneous use? Will I as well open it in my ipad and iphoto?

How Come? I thought that to an external drive move iphoto library is not a problem - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3012995?tstart=0. And Apple Time Capsule including the an external drive.

I lost all my music and my itunes isnt reading that my ipod is hooked up to the computer

Is it possible for your ipod just to stop working and lose all your music
The answer to that is yes... Having the data on the device alone is a recipe for disappointment.

How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

Trying to remote log into work and they require OS X v.10.7 Lion. I have OS X 10.9.5 - same thing or how do I even know?

Thanks for the suggestions AyeSee - but I already know how to configure the mouse to perform a single task (e.g., rotating the mouse wheel = vertical scrolling OR rotating the mouse wheel = switching between desktops). Per my original post I am wondering if there is a way to configure the mouse so that the functionality differs depending on whether I am working on desktops (rotating the mouse wheel = vertical scrolling) or in mission control (rotating the mouse wheel = switching between desktops).
For those also wanting to gain some MacBook trackpad-like functionality with their Logitech mouse when running OS X Lion (or later), as a workaround, I currently have a logitech M110 mouse configured as follows:
> rotating the mouse wheel = vertical scrolling (equivalent to trackpad two-finger swipe up and down)
> pessing the mouse wheel = open Mission Control (equivalent to trackpad three-finger swipe up)
> titlting wheel left or right = switch between desktops, both when working in a given desktop or when in mission control (equivalent to track-pad three-finger swipe left or right).
Instructions for configuring a Logitech mouse are available within help in the Logitrech Contol Center (appears under "Other" section of System Preferences).
