These cloud songs aren't mine! Has my account been compromised?

After an iTunes upgrade, there are songs in my library that I never purchased, and I do not use iCloud. What gives?

You're welcome. If it turns out to that he purchased them, and you don't want to see them in your library, you can turn this off by going to Edit>Preferences>Store in iTunes and unchecking "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". (If you don't see the Edit menu in iTunes, you may need to turn on the iTunes menus as discussed here: iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7).

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

What account are you referring to? If you're asking about a Hotmail, Live or MSN account, which is the support article you came from, you'll need to contact the relevant service and take up the issue with them. If you're referring to an iTunes Store account, see this support article:

In Apple Mail, my new messages are coming in without the blue dot, as if the messages have already been read. Why? Has my computer been compromised?

I did not use my laptop all day. This evening, when I looked at my new e-mail from earlier today, only about 3 messages still had the blue dot, that shows on unread mail. I watched new messages come in. One new one came in with the blue (unread) dot, then maybe when the next new message came in, the blue dot disappeared from the first message, but appeared on the new message. The 2 subsequent e-mails came in without any blue dot. I had not highlighted or opened any of those 4 new e-mails, or any of the previously delivered e-mails from today. I cannot find anything in system preferences or in mail preferences that addresses this issue. Anyone know why this is happening? Has my computer been breached or hacked?

Ok, so even thought no one has answered, it appears that once I move mail to the "On My Mac" mailboxes, they no longer exist on the server (though they can be moved back there if desired). Which means that I'm fine if I migrate my hosting to a new server, and redownload them, because the mail in "On My Mac" will be untouched. The only thing I don't know about is the "Sent" mail, but I believe those also exist on the server, and therefore if I migrate them then the link relationships are maintained (no idea about the mail that is "On My Mac" that has links to "Sent" mail in the server, but I guess that isn't so important).
As for keeping a completely syncronizable Mail application - the only way it appears I'd be able to do that is to forgo "On My Mac" entirely, and keep *all* mail on the server. If I want to move mail into different folders, those folders would have to be Server folders created for that account, and hosted by that hosting company. This actually doesn't seem like such a bad move, especially as we get further and further away from having only one device that we use to process Mail.
Are there any disadvantages to *not* using the local "On My Mac" folders? Are there any major advantages to using them?

There are photos on my iPhone camera roll that aren't mine. Has my security been compromised? How is this possible?

Hi guys,
In the last week two photographs have appeared on my iPhone camera roll and the subsequently my photo stream, of which I have not taken or anyone else could not have possibly taken with my phone. The latest one, found this evening as my most recent photo, is of a man on an aeroplane.
I'm a bit spooked here for a couple of reasons:
1. Have I been hacked and the photos are the least of my worries?
2. Can this person/persons see my photographs?
I've used iPhoto on my mac to check the location of the photographs taken using the info facility; unfortunately the location is deemed 'unknown'.
I would love anyone's take on this and would appreciate someone from apple responding to this issue directly as it's clearly a potentially huge problem for iOS and mac users.
I've already taken the measure of changing my iCloud password but all the same would like some feedback here.
Thanks all,
Snoop84

I write on this topic because I have an almost same incident.
Back in 2009, and this is important because there was no icloud and photo streams at that time, I found on the camera roll of my iphone 3G photos that do not belong to me!
I try to clarify this, and everybody reacted as I was crazy or had no idea about computers, phones etc. I wrote in a technology forum and got similar reactions. In fact I am a more than average experienced pc and phone user. I could also guarantee that nobody touched my phone.
The only explanation I had is that the photos were transferred through a wireless network in a cafe on my phone through some strange leak. But they were indeed not mine.
There are more than 10 photos of a woman (pretty normal photos, bad quality selfies etc, no naked guys) of a guy making some measurements in an apartment, of an IKEA furtinure (probably for the apartment before) etc. etc. Pretty realistic photos, by no means downloaded from the internet.
And nothing to do with me!
I imported some of them in iPhoto and checked the location. Some of them were taken in Munich (where I live), one (of the new apartment) very close to the cafe I was connected and, interestingly, some (the selfies of the woman) in Palo Alto, CA.
I still do not know what that could be, I still have the photos but unfortunately not the phone anymore.
I would be more than happy to hear that there was this or the other leak at that time, but still haven't found any convincing answer on the internet.

Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage. Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log. I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a ton! Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern. People should be aware of what's available. Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
I'll definitely be updating my browser as well. However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies. It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site. (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out. It may be beyond our control...

HT2589 How much has my account been billed for itunes

How do I found out the amount that I was charged for my Itunes songs I purchases?

You should get an email receipt for each purchase.
You can view the purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : if you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
If you are in the US then I'm not sure if the receipts and/or the purchase history shows the price before or after your state's sales tax is added

Can i download all "cloud" songs at once, instead of finding them individually?

Is there an option to download all of these "cloud" songs to my iphone at once instead of searching for them and clicking on them individually? I don't know how some of my songs ended up like this but i always seem to find these songs when i don't have signal.

If the song are part of an album, the album should have a cloud icon for downloading it in full. If they are separate tracks (not in the same album) you will have to download individually.

I lost my iphone the day after down loading from utune i got the bill but the songs r not at my itune account can u all put them there? I wont be buying any more if this cant be fixed.

I lost my iphone the day after down loading from itune but the songs aren't on my itune account but I did get a bill for the song. I did n't get another iiphone phone but I need my music put back on my account my iTunes account. If I'm paying for them! I want to music!

It's as simple as this:
Open iTunes.
Click iTunes Store on the left side of the screen.
Look on the left side - click Purchased (it has a NEW graphic next to it)
You will see everything you have every purchased from iTunes. You can redownload any of it.
Enjoy. Good luck finding your iPhone. If you get another one make sure to set up Find my iPhone as soon as you get it so you can track it down if you lose it again.

You must have a counterfeit iPod since that latest model sold by Apple is the 5G.
Assuming y have a 5G with iOS 7, that means those songs are available for download via iCloud. To download just tap on the song/icon when an internet connection is availalbe.
Of yo do not want those to show, go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>SOW ALL and turn off Music.

When I enter the iTunes store I can see that now also films are available in the cloud. Why aren't mine (previous purchased films)

It says that it updated, but the songs aren't on my ipod!

When I connect my Ipod to update it, it updates it and then says that it is ok to disconnect, but after I disconnect it, the songs aren't on my ipod. The Ipod shows that it has updated on the computer, and the songs are there, but they are not really there. I have tried and not been able to restore it. Is there anyway I can manually delete everything/restore? It is a 4G and it is running verison 3.1.1. Is that the right verison? I have tried different cables and USB ports. I have installed all of the latest itunes. I have downloaded the ipod updater/restore program, installed, it and restart the computer, but non of it has worked. I can access some word files on it, and that makes me think that it is not the cable?? I need help:( please:(

are you getting the ipod service error on the latest updater too?
these are the best places to start with that one:
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
