Help...iCloud account was hacked in the worst way.

My friend's iCloud account was hacked in the worst way. The hackers accessed all of the account's security measures, changing the birthdate, security questions, etc. They even accessed the backup email address. So if we try to "reset" the account password, the hackers get the follow confirmation email that is sent automatically from Apple. We are at a loss for what to do. We set up a new Apple ID....but that ID doesn't have the pictures, music, etc. from the original ID attached to it. She is heartbroken.....and feels like her identity has been lost. I just put a firewall on the modem and set up a highly secure VPN network to protect her computer. I also just enabled the Firewall through OSX. But now.....how do we reclaim her original Apple ID?

If I delete my iCloud account on my iMac or the iPad, and if I sign back in using a new ID, will my storage things be lost?

I want to change the ID of iCloud to be the same as my iMac. If I delete my iCloud account on my iMac or the iPad, and if I sign back in using a new ID, will my photos in iCloud be lost?
iMac 10.9.5 iPad OS 8.0.2

Yes, they are tied to your iCloud ID. Of course, if you can save them to your iPhoto events prior to making this change and they will still be in iPhoto. Then you can add them to your new photo stream from iPhoto. (If you have Automatic Import enabled in iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud they will probably already be in your events. You can check by control-clicking on a photo. If it says "Show in Library" it's stored in your events.)

My iPhone was stolen then my icloud account was hacked and I have the email address it was changed to, how do I report this Gmail user?

This morning my iPhone was stolen from me, I immediately called it and it had been turned off. So, I went right home to activate the Find My iPhone app on the website so it would call my other contact number. Then going to my AT&T store I was told to go home and submit an insurance claim. Later this evening, I tried to access my iCloud account and I couldn't. Finally, I found an series of emails from Apple at 5:15pm and on verifying my Find My iPhone activation had been disabled and that my iCloud ID had been changed to *********. I don't know who the heck this person is, but they've managed to deactivate the Find feature and hack my iCloud ID email address. How can this happen? How do I get Apple and Gmail to prosecute this person? I still don't know the full extent of what has been hacked into. Does anyone have any helpful insight? Thanks

In terms of your account the best thing to do would be to change the password.
Also just letting you know that you aren't talking to Apple, the people here are Apple product users like yourself. If you wish to speak with Apple follow the link below and call the number for your country:

Hope this helps

HT4910 My iCloud account was turned off can I find out what time this happened

My daughters I pad was hacked. The I cloud was turned off so the tracking system would not work. Is there a way to find out what time of day this happened.
I can at least let her teacher know what class this happened in. We were just lucky we caught it before it was stolen. Does anyone have any good ways to track iPad for parents. My daughter has Down's syndrome and really needs her iPad to help her with her class work.

Look at the serial number on the back of the nano and input this into https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. This should tell you what type of iPod you have.

My iCloud account was set up using the wrong email, and I can't delete the wronge account

I had a friend help me set up my phone and she set up my iCloud account for me. But she got my email wrong. Instead of [email protected], it's [email protected] I don't have the password, and I can't delete the iCloud account without the password, but I can't get the password because it sends it to the wrong email. Is there a way to delete the iCloud account without the password?

Your appleid can be any email address you want, its the e-mail BEHIND it that matters. So if you dont have your verizon email address anymore that should still be ok. Goto http://appleid.apple.com/ and click on manage account, login to your OLD WORKING appleid, and change your email to match your new email address

ICloud account was hacked

I received an email today that my Apple ID was used to sign into the cloud on a iPhone 5, however I do not have a iPhone 5 and believe someone downloaded my iCloud backup to their device. How can I find out who the device belongs to that did this?

Good ideas. I did login into find my iPhone app and don't see an additional phone. Hoping they will turn on location services if they are going to use the phone.
I can't believe Apple can't tell you what phone my account my iCloud was downloaded too. I am assuming their databases can track the serial numbers of phone and when those phones access the iCloud. Or at least have an IP address of where the data was downloaded from, but I guess there are 125 million iCloud accounts with millions of users updating, backing up and downloading data. So maybe I'm not surprised they don't have any information. Anyway. Tha is again for your help and suggestions.

My iCloud account was hacked. My contacts and emails have been deleted even from iCloud storage

Hi, today someone hacked into my @icloud.com account and all my contacts and emails stored there have been deleted. I have changed my password but is there any way to recover my info? Thanks!

If the details have been deleted from iCloud, they are, I'm afraid, gone. But if you have backed them up by Time Machine they should be recoverable.

What's the best external hard drive for back-ups?

I have a Powerbook G4 and would like to buy an external hard drive for back-up purposes. It seems impossible to choose one because drives made by every company occasionally fail and only then do people write reviews on them. Every time I hear that LaCie, Maxtor and Seagate make the best hard drives, an equal amount of people say they suck and fail on a regular basis.
My question is:
Who makes a good, most consistently reliable hard drive that I can easily do back-ups with?

The problem with review sites is that your average Joe buys a drive, it dies, so he throws mud at the company without giving any thought to the fact that no factory can attain perfection. And of course this average joe wants the best possible price (in other words cheap as dirt) so the company's tech support is staffed by under payed workers in Bangalore.
Where I work part time we are selling a lot of Maxtor One Touch and Western Digital My Book drives and haven't had a single complaint. Its the kind of store where we get to know our customers (you know, the one where the prices aren't dirt cheap but the service is fantastic) so we'd hear about it if our customers weren't happy. I've had several Maxtor One Touch drives running 24/7 for about 2 years without any failures and I have no complaints about the WD drive either although I've had it for just a couple months.
I've also been very pleased with the items I've gotten from macsales.com. They also aren't dirt cheap (though good) and they have super support. No, make that stellar support.

HT5624 hi my account was locked what can i do kindly help me

kindly help

If it's disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
If you have an iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch then you might then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

What Can I do?
Thank You

It would worth your asking in the Final Cut Pro X forum - someone else may have experienced the same problem.
I assume you have already trashed Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dotmac... (several files beginning with this) and (same path) com.apple.idisk - though I suspect the problem lies rather with the individual programs which are trying to access something on the non-existent iDisk.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
