Woman sign mysteriously in iCloud account on phone friend.

My wife is good at many things, but unfortunately, it is technically inept. Yesterday, when a friend tried to share a photo she had on her iPhone, my wife took the phone from his friend to his friend and says you type in my cell phone number, pass the photo to me through Messages. (I never got the photo). Later, his friend found calendar of my wife, contacts and list to appear on his phone, interspersed with his own data. When I looked on the phone to her friend to solve problems, I found in the parameters she had somehow connected iPhone to her friend on her own iCloud account. Her friend IPhone actually showed that it has been saved both his and my wife iCloud accounts simultaneously, which I don't even think was possible.

I managed to remove the account from my wife from his friends phone that also erased his friends list of contacts and calendar. Fortunately, even if her friend was unaware of the importance of the backup, it must used the settings by default with its iPhone, while she was able to restore its contacts to iCloud.

I try to understand what she was doing, so that I can the stop you from doing it again, but I can't reverse engineer what she was doing. In the meantime, I begged him not to touch any phone or a computer that is not hers. The security breach could have serious consequences personally and financially, if the woman had not been a friend.

Can anyone with more experience understand the steps necessary for the foregoing takes place, so that I can warn my wife against this sort of thing? She has no idea how she did it, which I'm sure is true, and a bit scary, but after 30 years, I'm getting used to it :) I'm starting to think that it is a kind of Manchurian candidate that is a diabolical techno-terroriste of moments of unconsciousness. God help us if she's never in politics.

Hi yebdox,

I understand that your wife went to use his iPhone friends so she could send a photo to you through the messages app, but after doing that you soon later discovered that wife iCloud account was connected on his iPhone of friends and you want to know which would not cause happening.

If I were in your situation, I'd be scared as well. I think it's also good that you take security to iCloud account your wife seriously.

It can be a little hard to understand the steps that your wife might have done to see how we could have his account on his friends iPhone. Perhaps your wife is a prompt to enter his iCloud account, when in reality the device might have been invites his girlfriend to enter their account iCloud instead. There are also other ways that you can connect to your iCloud account, as through the application of the parameters. Maybe your wife accidentally signed in his email account through the application of the parameters as well, that could explain why its contacts and calendars appeared on his camera to friends.

I think that even if you can't necessarily trace back the exact steps about how she counts iCloud is arrived on his camera to friends, I think that arguing with her and his training on the means to protect its iCloud account would be great. Along with this, you can also change his password on iCloud to a new password if you think that this will help you to feel safe, here: https://appleid.apple.com/. You can also turn on two-step validation of your Apple ID help prevent full access to your account, for more information on this subject, please refer to this article on the Apple support knowledge base: frequently asked questions about two steps checking of ID Apple - Apple supported. In addition, you can find more information about the optimization of the security of your account here: Security and your Apple - Apple Support ID.

I hope this helps you yebdox.

  • Someone stole my phone and when I came back, their iCloud account was on him and the password has been changed. What can I do?

    My phone was stolen recently while I was at Walmart. Sprint located the phone 4 hours later (after saying earlier that they could not do it at all) and sent a message to inform him that had the phone that he had been located. The phone was found at Walmart soon after. When I got the phone back, I noticed that the phone has been restored to the factory settings and the password has been changed. I restored the phone myself using iTunes, but now I'm stuck on the activation screen because they put their iCloud account in my phone (I never put one up myself, not knowing that this would cause this kind of problems) and I do not know the password. I've lost all the photos of my son (he was two weeks previously and I had not copied to my computer yet) and voice messages, I have saved my father who died last year. And now I have a rental phone that costs me $60 / month, that I can't use. Sprint said there is nothing they can do. I called Apple and received no help from their part is there something I can do?

    It requires the Apple ID and password of the thief. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you.

  • How to prevent file sharing automatic connection with the commune iCloud account?

    I have access to my Mac remotely and always assumed that if I did not check the box pw to remember when asking username/pw I would always need to enter pw to access a remote volume.  This, of course, is the case usually except that I noticed that I have three computers (home, office, mobile) with the same user name and I can connect to the remote volume by simply entering the IP address of the target computer. I receive no request for pw.  This occurs despite the Macs with different user pw. I went to keychain in public services and did ' t see the pw of file sharing, so I guess they are in iCloud keychain.  All 3 Macs have the same username and the same iCloud account, and I have iCloud Keychain selected on all 3 Macs.  Potential problems would be if someone stole my cell phone when I signed to or if someone at work was playing with my computer after hours - they can then access my home computer (or vice versa). If it is stored in iCloud Keychain, so I don't see an obvious way to change.  So I disabled the option of trousseau in iCloud in system preferences on my laptop, not saved in keychain to my Mac and restarted; When I tried to access my home Mac, it helped to connect without my pw but I have noticed that at the top of the window, text says 'connected as [email protected]'- real username omitted here.  Is anyway to avoid this short of having each Mac journal on an account different iCloud (then would lose Sync calendars etc.). Thank you

    Have you and your husbands contacts mixed up at some point in all of this? If Yes, what you could do to iCloud.com login to your Mac with the original account and go to settings. In the lower left corner, click the option restore contacts. You can restore the State of the iCloud contacts on this account to the archived dates, as you see in this area. When you do this, it creates a backup of the contacts in their current state, if you find that you need to return the contacts to be what he had here before you went here. If you restore the contacts on a date that seems to recover your contacts as well, (you want to be logged on your iPhone with this account then what is happening and contacts switched on the account) then after the contacts seem to have stopped catering to go forward and turn in iCloud on your iPhone contacts and choose to keep on the iPhone when the ability to delete them from your iPhone. After having done that, open a session on this account, sign in with your account and merge contacts when you are prompted to. That will push your contacts in your own iCloud.

    Don't forget to go to the backup on iCloud.com after all this is done and go to settings to restore the Contacts in their archives when they were just appearing as contacts of husbands.

    I have an iPad with iOS 3 9, my problem is that iPad have the former owner iCloud account and can't get in touch with him and I don't know the password to remove his account, of course, I want to use my icloud account.

    Well, unfortunately, you can not. The phone you bought is locked with a lock Activation and only the person who put the lock on or someone who knows that people Apple ID and password can remove it. Return it for a refund if you can. You will never be able to sign with your iCloud ID, and if you ever restore the device, you won't be able to use it.

  • Someone logged into my icloud account also I changed my password else to do I do?

    Someone logged into my icloud account also I changed my password else to do I do? What other steps should I take? Should cancel my credit card?

    You probably don't need to cancel the cards, but you should keep a very close eye on them for unauthorized purchases that must be reported immediately to the issuing company. However if you have reason to believe that the person really knows the details of your card then you should discuss the cancellation of the card with their transmitters.

    Change the password to a strong should keep the offender out, but you should consider the creation of a two-step verification. With this, anyone (including you) your account needs both the password and a code sent by SMS to your mobile phone. This puts an end dead to anyone else is even if they guess the password.

    Please visit this page for more information: frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

    If you are going ahead with this, please note that you will receive a 'recovery code' that can be used if you lose the phone or forget the password. You need to keep it safe. Signing in requires two on the password, the phone or code recovery and if you lose both of them you will be permanently locked out and Apple cannot help you.

  • I have two iPhones (6 & 7), with an Apple ID. Can I have two separate iCloud of each phone backups?

    My question is perhaps a bit 'wordy '. I have a phone work and personal telephone, so to put it simply, I would use an Apple ID to ensure all the contacts and emails remain aligned. The phones are not the same, for example, need a social media applications, etc., as where my work phone didn't. Is it possible to have both work and personal supported until an iCloud account? Or backup the latest will replace the last phone to save?

    Thanks for your help!

    You can have backups for your iPhone iPhone 6and 7.

    You will see separate backups in virtue:

    Settings > iCloud > storage > storage management.

    See "BACKUPS".
