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 rec'd an alert that my "Apple ID and phone no. are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone."  I am not using iCloud and I don't have a new iPhone.  Is this something to worry about?

    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,

  • 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

  • My apple ID is now being used for facetime on a new mac. I have no new mac

    Hello
    My apple ID is now being used for facetime on a new mac. I have no new mac

    If you recently did an upgrade to Yosemite (and if my memory is correct) you may have signed into FaceTime (without using it) as part of the upgrade.

  • TS2326 apple id and phone number of the same contact on different threads

    Hi I have a single contact with apple id and phone number on my iphone 4 ios6. The issue is I have 2 contacts in Messages for the same Contact entry: one with the phone number (green bubbled) and the other with the apple id (blue bubbled). Too annoying. Couldn't find how. Any help? Thanks.

    now I'm having the same problem but with the Weather Center app. Whenever I turn on the iPhone I get a notification the weather center is using current location and do I want to continue letting it or not. But there is another error message behind with a keypad and this time I cannot dismiss the weather center dialog.
    Any suggestions?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • When I turned off Find my iPhone, Apple sent me an email saying: I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. I don't understand!

    I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia.  I got an email from Apple saying:  your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone.  Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone?  I still have to put my passcode in.

    What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

  • Received notification that Your Apple ID is being used for iCloud on a device that I do not know

    I have received notification that my Apple ID is being used for iCloud's on a new iPod touch. I do not recognize the device. This is the 2nd notice the first time I changed our password. How do we remove this device.

    Change the password without using email authentication as discussed here: Apple ID: Changing your password in case the other person has access to your email account.  If you aren't able to do that, contact the Apple account security team for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • HT204053 I created a different Apple ID for Icloud on my new IPhone and having problems with getting Itunes,etc.  How do I change my Icloud Apple ID to be the same ID and password?

    I created a different Apple ID for my Icloud on my new IPhone (said a free email was available or something similar) rather than the other choice offered of using my same existing Apple ID.  Now I keep having issues accessing my account and my password isn't working to access Icloud to download Itunes.  Can I undo this new account I created and just use my one existing Apple ID?  This is my first IPhone and confused with this part of the setup!  Thanks.

    If you know the answers to your security questions, you should be able to change your password without using email authentication (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36).  If you don't, you may be out of luck.

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • HT5621 What do you do when you've lost access to your e-mail and your apple ID and have no way to reset them? (with the find my iPhone feature enabled)

    Hi
    I've lost access to my e-mail and my apple ID. No way to reset them. It's a hotmail email address and Microsoft is refusing to reset it even after I provided all the necessary proof of ownership.
    2 problems:
    I can't switch to a new apple id and loose all my purchased apps
    I can't switch to a new apple id as I'm being asked for the password of my current apple id - to disable the 'find my iPhone'-feature
    How do I proceed as my device is virtually unusable as is ..
    Many thanks

    This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
    We also can't speculate on what exactly iOS 7's new security features will actually do, all that's available is what has been said so far by Apple, anyone using a developer version is forbidden to discuss it anywhere but in the developers community.

  • Apple Templates and shapes, etc. are not showing up for me to select??

    i did a search and came up empty-
    i am using FCS, and have done all the updates, including the Proapps one, in the last 6mo.s, and have been religious about repairing permissions.
    all the files for the Apple templates, shapes, buttons, etc. are in the proper folder(s), but somehow they are no longer showing up on my workspace to the right of dvd studio pro. to my knowledge, nothing has been moved or changed since i did the original install 6 mo.s back.
    is there a way to do a "scan", or import them ALL back in (instead of one by one)?

    thanx 4 your response-- i did what you posted, and it seemed as though it would do the trick, but when i did it, nothing happened. no loading, or anything. i even tried using the direct folders, but "apply" nor "reset" caused anything to happen. i even tried closing the app. and booting back up, but no chance.
    i did, however, go to the top menu items and found a "import template" option. i did it and selected all the templates in the folder. same thing for "shapes". in the palette, they aren't in the "apple" section, but show up in the "custom".
    i guess this will do, yet, i can't seem to be able to access the "patches" or the "transitions", by way of any of these methods.

  • If messages are deleted from an itouch that is synced the same Apple ID and phone number, how can you get them to delete from the phone as well?

    how do I delete messages from both my itouch and my iphone

    You have to delete the messages from the individual device. If you delete messages on one device, messages on the other are not automatically deleted.
