Why do I get an email saying I have logged into find my iPhone???
Since the new iOS 8.0.1 update I found that when I log into find my iPhone i then get an email saying: Your Apple ID was used to sign into Find My iPhone. It then proceeds to tell me what device it was (my one at this time) and the date and time. I do not want this setting on. I have looked into it and can't find the option to switch it off. This gives a potential thief the notification that the device is being tracked which is certainly NOT a good idea. Please help!!!!
What a stupid update! Let's just hope I or anyone else doesn't lose their devices! Hopefully Apple will sort this out and give us the option to turn this setting off!

Why does find my iPhone send me an email saying I have logged into my account using my Apple ID?

I have this same question. Even if you are logging on to see where your child is, or to make sure he/she made it to school or is where they say they are it sends and email letting them know, pointless. And as you pointed out if you lost your phone or if it was stolen then whomever has your phone has access to email and then knows you are tracking phone. Please anyone, tell me how to remove this setting.

I get an email every time I sign on Find My iPhone saying a new phone signed on with my ID.
Why do I get an email saying a new phone signed onto Find My iPhone every time I sign on now? This began happening with iOS 8, and I suspect it has to do with the MAC address spoofing supposedly done for security, which causes some problems, especially for people who control their wireless access via MAC addresses. Any way to turn that OFF????
Doesn't relate to ios8 - because it started for me a few days ago also and i was still on ios7. in fact i upgraded to ios8 hoping that might stop it. The icloud settings page now says devices only will show up as managed devices if they are running ios8 or OS X Yosemite. so i upgraded hoping that would mean they would stop sending the messages. it didn't.
This is ridiculous - it says and thinks it is a new device every time i sign in.
They need to do something about this - currently i am applying an email filter for that subject to delete them automatically. -
I have upgraded to 5.3 and I am still getting this message. I have logged into iCloud to see if there was a new Terms of Service agreement and didn't see anything. Any ideas?
Same here. The login works, but the Stream - according to the ATV - says there are "0" photos. Which is bogus.

Can anyone help me understand why I just got an email saying: "A sound was played on [silverlipplion's] iphone at 3.06 am today?
I have my iphone here with me. At 3.06 it was beside me whilst I was sleeping.Must have been a server glitch or you would have definitely heard it. It plays loudly for 2 minutes unless you unlock it with your passcode.

Why did I get an email saying my bill is ready in the middle of a billing cycle?
I received an email stating my wireless bill is ready. First, I have already paid the full amount for my previous bill. And second, I am in the middle of my current billing cycle. I checked My Verizon account and I am paid in full. Why did I receive this email? Is the email a mistake?
I am thinking this is a system fluke.
I went in and paid on line and days later the email came to my phone stating the same amount I already paid.
However the payment was posted immediately and shows a zero balance and the text message came right away after the payment.
I think its just a screw up in sending out the notice of your bill being ready. They send to me at 1 AM in the morning.
Good Luck -
Why do I get a error saying mail was unable to find your reply. You may have deleted message.
when sending email, I sometimes get an error stating: Mail was unable to find your reply to: You may have deleted message. This does not happen with every sent message but it is doing it more and more. The reply is no where to be found.
You posted in a 4 month old dead post.
You would do better by posting a "New Topic" in the OS/Mail forum area of which os you are using. You will need to indicate which version os you are using as well as which version of Mail you are using in order to get the proper attention to your post. This will help the users reading your post to suggest solutions. -

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

My ipod has been stolen and i may need to get a new one i do not know what to do please help!
Find my iPhone is relatively useless when it comes to recovering a stolen device. Anyone with a bit of know how can defeat it in a matter of minutes. It's really meant to help a person find a misplaced device.
Presume that any and all data and info on that device is compromised, do as Illass says, change any and all passwords to every account or site you accessed on the device and write it off as gone. -
I keep getting a message that I have logged into the server maximum times or server has timed out
I had an upgrade to my system and it changed my logging into the server to every 10 minutes. Can you reset it on your end so I can use my email again. We fixed the logging into the server so that will not happen again. I cannot send or receive emails on Thunderbird and I also get a connection to server has timed out when I try to send an email. Thanks

Please raise a ticket for my as it is impossible for me to do so, the system is broken, the website workflow is flawed.

I upgraded several devices, my partner is out of the county and a little irritated at the emails and pop ups LOL not sure how to turn this off
In answer to your first question, unfortunately you don't get allocated more iCloud storage as you buy more devices - it is 5GB free per account.
Regarding the pop-up, I too find it annoying but you won't find a resolution to it on these forums - best thing to do is to submit feedback to Apple and hope they improve it.

I placed an order to upgrade my phone yesterday, and the order went through, I was told the new phone would arrive Thursday. After I got home from work today I saw an email from Verizon that says "Dear Customer:
Verizon Fraud Prevention Team is currently reviewing the following order on your wireless account. Please call the Verizon Fraud Prevention Team at 888-483-7200 option 3, press 1 to verify this Order."
I called this number immediately, since I need this phone ASAP, assuming it would just be a recording and I would have to verify an account number or something. But instead, after following the instructions, I was put on hold because I needed to speak to someone in person. After several instances of my call being cut off after being on hold for at least half an hour, I finally got through after three hours and was able to speak to a fraud representative. I gave her my info and told her the problem and she told me I had called the wrong department. Instead of the fraud department, I needed the online order department. She transferred me, and I waited on hold again. When the representative from the online order dept picked up, she first told me if it was a fraud issue I'd need to speak with the fraud dept - who had JUST transferred me to her. After this, she said that my order is not on hold, because it hasn't even been processed yet or had the credit check done. When I asked if this meant I hadn't needed to call at all, she said yes. Is this actually true or is there a chance that there's an issue with my order I don't know about? If there is no issue, these emails really shouldn't be sent out, they're incredibly misleading, and I've wasted a whole lot of time and experienced an incredible amount of anxiety for no reason.Hi. I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

Why do I receive an email saying I used find my iPhone???
Since the new iOS 8.0.1 update I found that when I log into find my iPhone i then get an email saying: Your Apple ID was used to sign into Find My iPhone. It then proceeds to tell me what device it was (my one at this time) and the date and time. I do not want this setting on. I have looked into it and can't find the option to switch it off. This gives a potential thief the notification that the device is being tracked which is certainly NOT a good idea. Please help!!!!
The idea here is to alert you in case it was not you that was using Find My iPhone. Someone can try to crack your Apple ID from any device running FindMyiPhone (does not have to be yours) or from iCloud.com (via a web browser on a PC). They do not have to be in possession of your device to do this.
If anyone successfully does this, you will get an email, so that you know about it and can change your password right sway.
If someone actually has your device, yes they may see the notice arrive if you track the phone via the web or via an iPhone that has never been used on your AppleID before. But if they have the phone on to get the email, its too late, you;ve already got their location.
Thieves know that Find My iPhone is enabled by default. They are likely to shut the phone down to avoid being caught anyway. However, activation lock will prevent them from resetting the phone.
Don't turn off Find My iPhone, it is useful and valuable.
