Your apple ID was used to purchase Split Lens 2 from a US location.

Got an email from apple this morning saying my apple id was used to download Split Lens 2 from a US location. I looked at the app in the store and it is a free version of a chinese developer's photo filter. I asked some friends and they had it downloaded on their accounts as well. I assumed when I created my apple ID password originally it was strong enough when the little indicator said "strong" but I guess I was mistaken.

This could be a phishing email and not actually from Apple at all.
Carefully check the email address the email was sent from and where any links in the email actually go to.
DO NOT enter any personal details on any website you are directed to, unless you are 100% sure it is a legitimate Apple website.
Strong passwords are not perfect - just better than weak ones. Change it at http://appleid.apple.com/

  • HT201272 Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase something from iTunes ?   We all have the same apple account/ID.   Thanks!

    Anyone know how I can figure out which of my family's 5 Apple devices was used to purchase a specific song via iTunes ?   We all have the same Apple ID/account which makes it tricky...  Thanks!

    What I was afraid of.   Thanks.   Seems like someone at Apple should be figuring this out.  Would be nice to link each purchase to a specific device.
    That would not be practical or probably even possible since one of the features of recent versions of iTunes and the iTunes Store is to allow new purchases to be automatically downloaded to every device registered to your Apple ID when something is purchased. If you want purchases linked to specific devices, each user should have his or her own iTunes Store account.

  • I keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an pal when I didn't make the purchase

    I Keep getting emails saying my Apple ID was used to purchase an app in the amount of $xx.  I did not make the purchase.  I keep dumping these emails into trash as it seems like spam but it's getting annoying.  Email appears to be coming from Apple.  Any ideas?

    If you think it's spam move it to junk instead of trash. Read the article below and report one to Apple.

  • Your Apple ID was used to sign in to FaceTime and iMessage on an iPad

    Have users getting emails with subject your apple id was used to sign in to facetime and imessage on an ipad. It will then have another users name listed as
    Dear "that other person"
    your apple id (another user than the Dear person above) was used to sign in to FaceTime and Imessage on an ipad.
    Why would the first person be different than the next?

    fentonr,
    This is what the link in the email displays:
    What do you think?
    Delete the email, it is a phishing attempt.
    Identifying fraudulent "phishing" email offers tips and provides a way to report it to Apple.

  • Is there a way to know what apple id was used to purchase songs?

    I backed up my songs and in order to play them I need to log in with the apple id that was used to purchase them and I don't remember it. Is there any way to figure it out?

    If the songs are in your computer's iTunes library then you should be to see the account that bought them - see my reply on your earlier post : https://discussions.apple.com/message/23450213#23450213
    If they aren't in your iTunes library then if you try to add them (File > Add To Library), and their account isn't already authorised, then are you prompted to authorise it ?

  • How to stop "Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud"

    I just started using icloud.com on my pc and every time I sign on it sends a message to my recovery email, not icloud mail, and it drives me crazy especially when I have to sign back in after not being used for a bit. How can I stop them? Or would I register or verify my computer to get them stopped? Always been an iphone user but I don't know much about all the systems and programs. Please help! Thank you

    Check your Apple ID to make sure that your Primary email address is the one where you want the notifications sent. At this time, there is no way to "turn them off". This was a security measure that Apple instituted to alert you that your iCloud account has been accessed by a browser.
    Check your Apple ID info here: Apple - My Apple ID

  • Your Apple ID was used to sign into Find My iPhone

    I am running iOS 7.2 nn my IPAD 2 Every hour I get the subject an alert that my id was used to find my ipad.  It's my id my ipad so all is good except I didn't search for it How do I stop the messages?

    Hi Jason,
    You will receive this message any time someone uses your username and password to access Find My iPhone or when they log into icloud from a browser or other iOS device. If you DID NOT log into these services at the times indicated in the e-mail you may want to change your password as it could mean that someone knows your account details and are logging in without you knowing. This feature can not be turned off at this time and was enabled as a security precaution after the nude celebrity photo fiasco. If you no longer wish to receive these notifications in your e-mail, the only current way of getting rid of them is to create a rule in your e-mail program to send the apple e-mail to spam or trash as soon as it's received in your inbox.

  • I continue to receive email alerts advising that my Apple ID was used to purchase an app. I changed my password but the alerts continue to come. Purchases are initiated from various different countries. My credit card has never been charged. How cano

    ALerts advising purchases were mde using my Apple IDcontinue to come to my email. I changed my password  but theycontinue to come.Hoes can I stop his.

    It is possible that these emails are phishing attempts. Do NOT click any link in the email. The phishers are very clever in that they seem to follow Apple Graphic Design Standards to near perfection. A sure way to tell is to examine any link the email contains for its target URL. If it does not point to the apple.com domain - NOT just contain the word "apple"in it 'somewhere - but point to the Apple web presence - it is most certainly phishing. If you determine that it is phishing, you can and should FORWARD the email to [email protected] > then DELETE with Prejudice.

  • My apple id was used to sign in...??

    Since upgrading from snow leopard to lion (which I hate) I keep getting email messages on my MBP (with lion) and my Mac Pro desktop (SL). The messages read "your apple ID was used to sign in to facetime..." or "...to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini."
    How do I stop this?

    As léonie pointed out, you need to check whether or not this is really from Apple.

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law &amp; Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account &amp; theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store &amp; they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".
