Someone else using my MacBook
Hi,
Can you please tell me if there is a way to see if someone else used my MacBook? I am automatically logged on once I start my computer.
Thank you.
Hi Sicjoy.
There is the 'History' menu (up top, Safari menu bar) on which you can click 'Show All History'. This would require that you are familiar with where you go so as to spot anything unusual. But, if you clear your history on a regular basis, this method probably wouldn't be helpful. Is there something specific you are looking for? A site? A change in your account?

An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal with it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. A "Genius" at one of my local Apple stores spent over 2 hours trying to fix this and could not do it. His last suuggestion was to go home, back up all the data an take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall the operating system. Any simpler ideas to solve this problem.???

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?
If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account. However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones. They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream). Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this. (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.) -
If you log out of your apple ID on your iPAD mini and let someone else use it and they use facetime. How come it shows my facetime history and not theirs? I do not want them to have access to my history. How can I prevent that and they can see their own? Or is the history associated with the iPAD mini itself and not the actual icloud user account?
You are logging out from
Settings -> FaceTime, right?
My guess would be though, that the FaceTime history is stored locally on the device, so anyone using it will see the entire device history (I cannot imagine that FaceTime uploads the history to an Apple server anywhere - I'm sure it is just logged locally on the device - based on my iPhone and iPad show completely different histories, for example). -
Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0. -

Hi Atomboy12,

I was notified that Pages and one other application have updates. When I tried to login, the Apps page asks me to login to an account I am not familiar with. I imagine that this machine was used by someone else to update or download 2 apps. I would like to delete them and download the latest apps using my account. Can I do this?
You can log in to your own account at any time and access the appliactions you have paid for, just fill in your own Apple ID.

Someone else using my email address
I have just found out someone else is using my email address as there primary skype one. I have managed to log into their skype account but can't delete the email address as its listed as the primary one - I found out about this as I was getting skype emails which weren't releveant to my personal skype account. Suggestions? It doesn't look like an account that is used very often but I still don't wany my email associated with them for obvious reasons!

I think Skype doesn't send verification emails when creating an account, so anyone can register an account using anyone's email address, as well as non-existing ones). You can contact customer service to report that unknown account, and to request to unlink your email address from that unknown account.

Is Someone Else Using My Email For Their Device?
One evening, a question popped up on my iPod touch when I was using it asking if some person could use it for my facetime,
I tried to deny it, but it kept popping up everytime i would try to deny it, I got frustrated so I just accepted it.
During a messaging conversation, messages that weren't from me started popping up into the conversation
and when I was facetiming, the person I was talking to said someone else appeared on her screen instead of me.
Not only that, but pictures of the person are showing in my photos and in my photostream.
How do I stop this?report this to [email protected]

IP address - someone else using same IP address
While using the internet I had a pop up window stating that someone else was using the same IP address and I was now disconnected from the internet. I don't have access to the router as it is shared in my building. Does anyone know if I can change my IP address to something different and what do i change it to?
Have you rebooted? If you get your IP assigned automatically this should prompt the DHCP (IP) server to give you a new address if you're machine is setup to automatically get an IP.

Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Please provide advice on what to do when someone has accessed your account, and phoned all your credit out to funny countries, apparently changing password only affects once you have relogged?

It's not possible to charge your account for your gf SMS messages, but you might look into Skype Manager: https://support.skype.com/category/SM_GETTING_STARTED/
Basically Skype Manager is an online tool which enables you to buy credit and allocate it to other Skype Manager members. It's mostly meant for business purpose, but for example I use it to manage my family accounts. I purchase Skype Credit and allocate it to my parents since they are not so tech savvy.
