Strange Apple ID

Trying to update to FCPX, but every time I click on update it ask me to sign in with mi Apple ID. The problem is, when I try to update FCPX, a weird ID appears instead of my email!!! Could anybody help on that please?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

HT201418 After restoring from iCloud to new device - strange Apple ID popup on the phone

I have change my iPhone 6 to 6+. I have done backup of the old iPhone to iCloud. When I started restore process - iOS system gave you a question with Apple ID (is this your Apple ID?) as always with strange one. I guess system is always giving suggestion to the Apple ID account latest backup was done to the nearest server of iCLOUD. Of course I have deleted this stranger Apple ID suggestion for restore and I have applied my own APPLE ID.
Restore took some time and was successful.
ISSUE - many times iOS want to connect to iTunes - pop up window is appearing having again suggestion of the same STRANGE Apple ID. It;s annoying and I do not know how to get rid out from my iOS.
I put my normal Apple ID with credentials into iCloud and iTunes setting on iPhone but still strange one pops-up

You probably needed to update the iOS on the new phone. When it's done, set it up as a new iPhone, then disconnect it from your computer. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (provide the password if prompted), go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

When my wife tries to update one of her apps a strange Apple ID pops up. Her Apple ID is correct in settings and in the apple store. What does this mean? Where did the other one come from?

There is something on your iPhone (a music file, iBook, document or video) that belongs to another Apple ID. Only your wife would know how that file arrived there. Your iPhone is asking for the correct Apple ID for all of the files that are resident on the iPhone.

Strange Apple Logo Behavior During Startup

I've got a 15" Powerbook with 10.3 installed on it that is exhibiting some strange startup behavior.
When the apple logo appears during startup, it briefly shakes and then becomes pixelated.
Startup continues after this, and the computer is not exhibiting any other problems.
However, I'm concerned that it might be a sign of a more serious problem that I need to address sooner rather than later.
I've scoured the discussion boards, but haven't come up with any other similar reports.
Any one have any ideas?

That means that the computor is having a problem with your password... It is having problems recognizing your password, which it finally accepts....

Strange Apple pro Keyboard

My Apple Pro Keyboard worked very well after I bought with my iMac G5. But after I plug-in a new USB card reader into the USB port on the back side (They said it supports Mac), my keyboard became very strange. In the beginning it repeated the "enter" key, after a few minutes, it responded very slowly, and finally not responding. I unplug it and replugin, same. But after two to three days, I plugin again, everything is OK. But after a few minutes, it started to behave like just I mentioned. What happened to my keyboard?

I have tried keyboard without the reader, because the reader made the Finder freeze. I have tried the keyboard using another Mac, but the same thing happened. That USB reader is faulty, I think, because when it was plugged into a PC notebook, there's no response from the OS. But it's so unbelievable that a reader spoiled my keyboard. How do you think about it, Miriam?

Strange apple mail

since mac os x 10.8, apple mail is like «hanging» after sleep.
this means that some accounts cannot be [re]connected - the problem-triangle appears.
it seems to happen only on imap-, not on exchange-accounts.
restarting the application helps.
checking the activity screen before quitting shows some entries in the list (looks like hanging - no move at all).
this tasks cannot be canceled.
this behavior is very annoying.
it was not like that in mac os x 10.7 and below.
thanks for any ideas.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

Configuring phone 5S and get strange Apple ID

Trying to configure my phone, selected my latest iCloud update from last night and now pops up a complete different hotmail address with the question: Enter the apple ID for .... other hotmail cloud than mine, and I need to fill in my password. If I press no, I get a pop up that I need to log in to put previously purchased material back.... Any idea if this is safe and what I can do?

Your right, I did answer my own question...sorry. I am still trying to figure out how the old/unused apple id keeps getting assigned to apps/music that I have purchased using my current apple id.

Strange Apple e-mail address

Since summer 2014 i continuously receive promotional’s e-mails from this address:

Thx!

Strange apple ID popping up

Since upgrading to iOS8 beta 1, I get a pop-up for [email protected] appleID. I have never seen this address before, and certainly have never installed apps or music with that address. Anyone else have anything strange like this happen?

How do I remove a strange Apple ID Account from IPad?

When I bought my IPad 3, I gave it to an installer in Dubail to download and install applications in my iPad and he did while also setting up the iPad initially. It appears the installer used his own apple Id in doing the initial download and set up which I did not realize then. Now each time I try to download any application in my iPad, the installer Id appears and I am prompted to enter his password. No matter how I try, my own Id does not appear and so can not be prompted to enter my own password. How do I delete the installer Id to enable my Own ID and password to be prompted when I download applications? Please help me solve this problem as I can not download any application now.

The easiest way is to go into your (settings) then to (general) and near the bottom you''ll see ( ' reset ' )
You can reset your device without losing any email, texts, photos, apps, etc. All the reset does is
revert your device to the point before you made any setting choices such as:
wallpaper
volume
text modes ( on/off ) automatic spell check, caps, etc.
screen brightness, etc. all the changes made to the factory presets
I had to do this to my new iPad(3) and it worked like a charm.
It only took a few minutes to go back in and change
all the preference items back to my specific design choices.
Best of luck!

Purchase from a strange Apple ID showing up in Mac App Store

'Angry Birds' app asks for update in my Mac App Store but the problem is I've never downloaded this app before. When I tried to clear it by clicking update. A different Apple ID appeared, and it's definitely not mine. I don't share my Mac with anyone. Any idea how to solve this problem?

I mean I used the FAF to find the _MASreceipt and only 8 appears but they're all from the app that I've downloaded myself. There no sign of any odd app.

After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

The title says it all.
Some background info:
1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015. The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
What happened;
1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio. It had the leather Apple case on it. Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
2. Phone responds to touch, but not property. I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
What I have done:
1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever. The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly. This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
I really hope someone here has some insight.
Thank you.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Apple Mail - Load images for some email addresses automatically

Is it possible in Apple Mail to put some email addresses on a white list so that the images within their emails always load?
I don't want all images to load for every email I get, but I find it an annoyance to have to often load images from contacts I already trust.

AppleScript to the rescue! Thank you Linc Davis!!!
Still find it strange Apple doesn't have this built into the Mail interface as an option and have to run a script [grumble].

Apple tv not working with itunes match

I bought Apple Tv last week and also bought the Itunes match , but whenever i open music on my apple tv , it says
"Itunes Match "
" Setting up your apple tv to stream music from itunes match . This may take a few minutes,depending on the size of your library and internet connection speed "
i have already turned on itunes match on my Apple Tv and computer . Still its not working .

I had a similar issue. As of September 29, 2014. After setting up iTunes Match on my Mac through iTunes, iTunes Match was not working on Apple TV. The weird thing was that it worked on my iPhone 5 and Late 2013 iMac. Strangely Apple TV was the newest device. I and the newest OSs available for all my devices (iMac, iPhone and Apple TV - either OS X 10.9.5 and/or iOS 8.0.2).
I called Apple Support and spoke with someone who had me log out of and back into my Apple account through Apple TV. I was then prompted to activate iTunes Match on Apple TV (3rd Generation).
That fixed the problem for me.
Be advised that you need to remember your Apple TV password in order to sign back in. Apple TV does not cache Apple ID passwords.
I suggested to the Rep that they need to make the process much simpler via a way to Refresh iTunes or, at least, add Keychain to Apple TV so that I did not have to go through this again. I suggest other users make the same requests through Apple Feedback for Apple TV.

Apple Store address's file?

Is there a downloadable file that has all of the address information for all the Apple Stores?
Seems strange Apple wouldn't want to make this info easily obtainable so people could import it into Address Book.
I have done many a search and have come up empty handed. I know I can go to each store webpage that shows the address, but even then its a pain to enter the address. Seems like I should be able to highlight the address and "add to address book"
Thanks

In that case, put in the ones you expect to visit when that occurs. Surely, you should have time to do that, rather than try to populate your address book with all of them. Note that there is a list for SoCal at http://www.family-vacation-getaways-at-los-angeles-theme-parks.com/Apple-Store-L ocations.html
