Strange popup: phone number being used for iMessage

Received a popup on my iPad that reads "your phone number is now being used for iMessage on a new phone, if you're recently signed into "my phone's name" you can ignore this notification. Only option was to hit "ok". IPad is wi-Fi only ( iMessage was on and email address toggled on, no phone number listed) iMessage is now off; phone listed both email and phone number (only phone number was checked) in iMessage (which I toggled off after receiving the notification). Any ideas of what happened? Running IOS 8.1 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Thank you.

Exact same thing happened to me last night (Australia) I was using my iPad mini when this pop up message appeared and thought how odd, my iPhone was right next to me locked...
Thinking this this was odd I unlocked my phone and went to the App Store only to discover when it asked for my password it was changed!!
I Was locked out of my Apple ID on both my iPhone 5 and iPad mini!
My Apple id and icloud was HACKED!! BE WARNED EVERYONE, CHECK YOU PASSWORDS AND SEE IF YOU CAN LOG INTO YOUR APPLE IDS AS THE LONGER YOU LEAVE IT THE WORSE THE OUT COME!
i Was lucky that I have 2 step authentication and was able to to reset the password and get my account back!
SEEMS LIKE ICOULD HAS BEEN HACKED AGAIN PEOPLE SO BE VERY CAREFUL AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD RIGHT AWAY IF YOU CAN IF YOU EVER GET THIS POP UP MESSGAE!!

  • I keep getting a message about my phone number being used for iMessage on a new iPhone. How can I see what devices are using my iMessage account and phone number?

    The message "Your phone number is now being used for imessage on a new iPhone" Keeps appearing on my macbook pro. It also says "If you just activated iMessage on a new iPhone, you can ignore this alert." But the only option is to ignore the alert, because the only thing I can do with it is click "ok" and dismiss it. Is there a way I can look at a list of the devices using my iMessage account, and if there are devices that I don't recognize on that list, how can I block them from using my account?

    Hi If you have another Apple  device check on that screen & accept. Cheers Brian

  • HT1689 I have created a new apple ID.  How do i link my phone number to it for imessages?

    This has been a massive pain in the a**e for hours. 
    Long story short, bot me and my partner have iphones, and she now has an ipad.  The iphone gave her the option of what mobile number to link both imessages and face time to, but the ipod only gives her my number and email address.  I have now created her a new apple id - so how do i link her number to it, so that messages arent just received via her email address? 
    Many thanks in advance

  • Why isn't my phone number an option for imessage?

    I just switched providers with my phone and for some reason, imessage stopped working for me, so I reactivated it and I can't see my phone # as an option, just my email. I tried every single thing possible, nothing worked.

  • How can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

    how can i send an imessage to a person i dont know his phone number but know his email he uses for imessage ?

    Add a contact with his e-mail address, and send a message to that contact. I would say integrate, but not 100% that it works. A new contact would work.

  • My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

    My iPhone will not send an iMessage. It sends everything as SMS. I have ensured that my Apple ID is signed in and that my phone number is enabled for use in both FaceTime and iMessage

    I had the same problem. I went in and added my email address to iMessage and deleted the text to my friends that have iPhones and sent another to test it and it worked. Only thing is now my non iPhone friends don't receive my pic text. I had to turn off iMessage for it to work. Apple needs to fix this ASAP!

  • 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.

    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 assume you are including the STIX font as part of your epub files?     
    Perhaps the folks who do this blog might be able to help -- they have done some work with font embedding:

    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,

  • My phone was knocked about and now iMessages are received by my contacts from my email address and not my phone number. 1- Have imessages always been sent by my email address and i somehow over looked this? 2- if not how to change it back?

    diesel vdub or ANY uncertified/certified Genius
    Heres my problem. I dropped my iphone 4 s and now when I send an sms, if it goes as an imessage the recipient says its coming from my email address & not my phone number. 1- how can i change it back but also 2- is imessage usually sent from phone number and not email correct? Should I re-sync my phone? Additional info: iMessage says I can be reached for messages at 2 addresses, my phone and email, the email cannot be removed. PLEASE HELP IM OCD ABOUT MY PHONE AND THIS ISSUE IS DRIVING ME MAD!
    helplessandhopeful,
    Hannah

    To identify your iMessages as coming from your phone number go to Settings>Messages>Receive At>Caller ID and select your phone number rather than your email address.  Also, the email can't be removed because this is the email address linked to the Apple ID you are using for iMessage.  If you really want to remove it you have to go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • How to remove a phone number linked to an imessage account

    Hey
    I used imessage from my mac and ipad from time to time but about a year ago I had logged into my itunes account on a friends iphone to help them transfer some info to their new phone. In the process of that, it registered their phone number to my imessage account. I found this out recently when i checked an imessage conversation and had seen a message i did not send. I have gone on to the website and checked under "manage devices" but only my ipad shows up. Is there a way to deactive the phone number associate to my imessage account?
    Thanks

    Hi allia.fm,
    Based on your description, you may want to see if your friend's phone number is showing up as linked to your Apple ID, as outlined in the following article:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    If so, there is an Unlink a phone number section under the Learn more header in that article.
