Received notification that Your Apple ID is being used for iCloud on a device that I do not know

I have received notification that my Apple ID is being used for iCloud's on a new iPod touch. I do not recognize the device. This is the 2nd notice the first time I changed our password. How do we remove this device.

Change the password without using email authentication as discussed here: Apple ID: Changing your password in case the other person has access to your email account. If you aren't able to do that, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. Why did this pop up today?

Why did this pop up today?
Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone.

Turned on my Mac Pro a few minutes ago and I got the following "POP-UP" message.
" Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. " ( my iPhone is not new. )
" If you recently signed into "xxxxx iPhone" you can ignore this notification."
On the bottom of this pop-up window is an "OK" button. Well it's NOT "OK" No option is offered if it is not "OK".
I have made no changes to my iPhone whatsoever. Just normal use today. In my iCloud settings everything is turned off except sharing Contacts.
I'd suggest you log on to iCloud.com with your Apple ID, and then go to Settings and look in the "My Devices" settings for anything you don't recognize.
I just did this. All of the devices are iPhones, iPads, and Macintoshes that I own and am familiar with.

The following message popped up on my MacBook Air: Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for ICloud on a new IPhone. What does it mean? Should I worry?

Hi SLCfromMadison,
This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

I rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone." I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone. Is this something to worry about?

Howdy Libbidydooda,
There are a couple of possibilities that may apply to the email you have received regarding your Apple ID. The first is that the email may be a legitimate warning that your Apple ID has been compromised. For this reason I would suggest that you change the password to your Apple ID as soon as possible. Use the instructions on this page -
Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support
In order to increase security for your Apple ID you may want to set up and use two-step verification. See this article for information about it -
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID - Apple Support
The second possibilty is that the email is an attempt at "phishing" in order to get you to reveal personal information. Typically this is done with an email that looks like it comes from an official source but has links to web pages that, while they may look like they are real, may actually be gathering your information for use by others. This article has more information about phishing -
Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email - Apple Support
For this reason it is important that you do not follow any links in the email, as they may compromise your security.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

He iTunes Store account entered is already being used for an iTunes Connect account that distributes Apps

I am getting the following message when trying to sign up with iTunesConnect for selling our companies eBooks.
"The iTunes Store account entered is already being used for an iTunes Connect account that distributes Apps. To continue with this application, you must enter a different iTunes account."
The email account I am using is not being used for distributing apps. We need to sell ebooks.
We DO have a developer account to sell apps but it is a different email address (confirmed).
How should I go about getting this straitened so we can get into iTunesConnect?

That worked, thank you very much! The Apple support document is quite misleading then.

My old apple ID is being used for the iCloud account. I need to change it to my current Apple ID, My old apple ID is being used for the iCloud account. I need to change it to my current Apple ID

My old Apple ID is being used for the iCloud account on my phone. I cannot change the account when I click on iCloud Settings. Please help!!

You will have to sign out from the iCloud preference pane and sign in with the new ID. Of course when you sign out all your iCloud data - email, calendars, contacts - will disappear from your Mac, assuming you have indeed been syncing them to the iCloud account you want to stop using. You can transfer the calendars and contacts manually, but you can't move the email addresses from one iCloud account to another.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for.

My Time Capsule won't allow my computer to back up. It says it is already in use but that is what it is being used for. It has been working fine for years. All of a sudden I keep getting a message that TC (time capsule) cannot complete back up as it is already in use. I am doing the backups automatically through Time Capsule.

Restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter. When it's back online, open the AirPort Utility application and check to see whether there's a firmware update for it.

I cannot find my current iPhoto Library. I cannot remember the exact message but part of it said that the library might be being used by another application. (Could that be Elements 12)

I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

Which Apple ID should I use for iCloud?

I'm thinking of signing up for iCloud. I have 2 Apple IDs. I have an iTunes @Mac.com and Mobile me @me.com. If I use the @me.com will I still be able to synch my iTunes across all of my devices.
I would appreciate some advice.

It doesn't matter which ID you use, iCloud accounts and iTunes accounts are different things, so long as you continue to use the iTunes account and it's ID, you will still have access to all your tunes, books, apps etc etc.

HT201272 Hello, I've downloaded music videos in the past and I found that I can download them from my "purchased list" and thought that I wouldn't have to pay for them again. However, I am being charged for some payments ...which I did not know.

I didnt know I'd be charged again for the items I have downloaded in the past. When I tried downloading some of them...it says that they are free.

See my response to your other post.

Unable to install Mountain Lion because HD is "being used for backups"?

I have been unable to install mountain lion because it is saying that my hard drive is being used for time machine backups. That makes no sense, because I use an external hard drive to backup my computer. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Do you, for some reason, have an item named "Backups.backupdb" on your hard drive? If so, you need to get rid of that in order to install.
