Someone is downloading programs using my account

This has happened to me twice within the past three weeks. I've changed my password and I can't figure out why this is happening. If anyone at iTunes can check the IP address that's doing this, I would appreciate it. I tried reporting the problem this second time and can't even get the proper screen to come up so that I can get help from the iTunes people.

Change your password again and contact itunes support.

I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

HELP! - what can I do someone has bought things using my account

I just checked my emails and a few days ago I go a email saying that my password had been reset, I wasn't sure what had happened but I didn't take much notice. Now ive checked my emails and I have just received an email for 2 songs that have been purchased; Graduation Day - Head Automatica and Hate (I really don't like you) - Plain White T's. Both of these were not bought by me so i'm getting very worried now that something may happen to my account again. I have reset my email account password and also my iTunes password but i'm still scared.
so I would like to know it there is anything I can do to maybe get the money back onto my account or if Apple could aid me in trying to prevent it from happening again.
I never tell anyone my password information for any of my accounts so I have no idea how they got the information.
PLEASE DELETE THIS - I JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVING A JOKE, WHICH I'M NOT VERY HAPPP ABOUT!

Couple of things to do.
Set iTunes to require a password when purchasing.
Set iTunes prefs to use the Shopping cart for purchases, not 1-click. (helps prevent accidental purchases)
Change you iTunes account password (again).
Remove your CC info from iTunes account.
Notify your credit card company and dispute the charges.
You can enter it back to make a purchase, then remove.
I never tell anyone my password information for any of my accounts so I have no idea how they got the information.
Change your question and answer to something difficult/only you know. Don't use something like your mother's maiden name or your high school.

HT1918 despite changing my apple twice id somebody in N. America/Canada is downloading games from my account. the website does not give me any recourse to correct this and track who is doing this. Any suggestion would be gratefully received

Hi,
I cannot seem to find any help for a situation that has now occurred twice, despite changing my apple id on bith occasions. Twice now, once from Canada, the second time from the USA, someone has downloaded games using my account.
The website seems particularly unhelpful as to how to rectify this and Apple do not appear to want to take responsibility for helping me sort this out. any suggestions would be gratefull received.

Hi aughton880,
To address your immediate issue, for any purchases you did not make I would report by following these instructions:

Two step authentication may be a good security measure to add to your account to prevent future issues:

I would recommend changing your password as well:

I have to continually change my password because someone is downloading games to my account but at no charge to me. How do I stop
them doing this.

Hello Geotra,
As the e-mail did not originate from an Apple e-mail address, I would avoid taking any action as indicated in the message. I would recommend marking the message as spam and reporting it to your e-mail provider if possible.

How to use Apple account without providing credit card

i recently cut my old credit card that was linked to my apple account. Now I can't download anything using that account. how do I use it without providing credit card?

Good day rhcpcageelephant,
You can use the steps in this article to change your iTunes Store payment method -
Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support
Note that under some circumstances "None" may not be available as a payment method. If this occurs, see this article -

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If that is true, then you need to promptly secure your account by resetting the Apple ID's password;

Someone used my account to download stuff. Who can I contact?

If someone used my account and I received a receipt for thing I didn't buy, what can I do?

First thing to do is change your password! Next call Apple, although I'm not sure what they can do about it as I think they may not be able to reverse your purchase. It might be something to take up with your bank. Also someone authroized your account on your computer. Have you sold a computer recently? What other computers have you downloaded iTunes products off of?

Can i download and use programs?????

Can i download and use programs such as FullTilt Poker, an online gambling sight. Someone please help me with this

No. I'm sorry you didn't read all the press about this during the past 6 months, but from the get-go Steve said the iPhone would be a closed system. Recently he kind of left the door open to maybe let developers write applications (well, he didn't actually say that, but he made it sound like they were "working on something").
You cannot buy/download ANY third party applications. You only get what comes with the iPhone. Of course, Apple could provide updates to your phone in the future and add new applications, but still, you only get what they give you.
Now, you mention an "online gambling site". You can use Safari to interact with AJAX-scripted web sites (these are called "web applications" not applications in the traditional sense given that you have to be online, have to connect to their web site, and a bunch of other stuff I won't get into). I'm not familiar with the online gambling site you speak of, but does it require you to download some software? If it does, then you're out of luck, if it doesn't, well you still may be out of luck if the web site relies on Flash or Java.

Did someone have experience to use downloaded driver for SR 245?

Did someone have experience to use downloaded driver for SR 245 to take data? I used GPIB-USB-HS cable (from NI) to collect data, and corrected GPIB address in the driver, which is found by M&A Explorer. When I ran this program driver, I saw ERROR light flashing one time and Activity light flashing for another time, but I got nothing for data. I used BNC cable to connect input signal in INPORT 1 in the front panel of SR 245, so there should have signal input. Do I need to change something in the program?
Thanks

Hi Linghui,
The EABO error usually indicates a timeout. This could be caused by a
few different things such as sending an
incorrect command or not appending the correct termination
character. I would check the manual for your device and see if it requires a certain type of termination character, as well as what commands it accepts. You can also find troubleshooting techniques for this error here and here.
Hope this helps!

Just bought an iPad 2 and plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded apps using my wife's iTunes account. I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC, and none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad.

I just bought an iPad 2 - I plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded a couple of apps using my wife's iTunes account. Since I bought the device for work, I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC. The problem I am having is that none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad. I can see them on screen #2 in iTunes and I know how to swipe to get to that screen.
I've tried everything mentioned - I authorized my office computer (but not my home one - could this be the problem?). I turned on home network file sharing. Checked to make sure parental controls are off. I'm not sure what to do next.

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

Can someone please help me with my security. For some reason when I go to download from my itunes account, apple is asking me to verify my ID by asking me questions that are simply not relevant to me. How do I change the questions?

When I go to download from my iTunes account, it has started to say that I have to verify my ID. When only last week I was able to download ok. The questions it asks me are not relevant to me and I need to know how to reset the questions.   For example, it asks who is my favourite teacher? I am over 50 years old and have not been in a classroom for almost 40 years, so I would not have ever answered a question like that in the first place as I would not know a name of a teacher. Any clues anyone?
