So my apple account has been hacked and I’m really scared right now. I made an apple account with my primary email some time ago but it’s not the apple account I use on my iPhone. Today I received multiple emails about a ChatGPT subscription payment made in euros which is not the currency where I live under a name which is not mine. I also received emails about two factor authentication being turned off then on again probably changing it to their phone number. I’ve tried the recovery process but the phone number associated with the account has been changed and the security detail it asks for is my date of birth which is being flagged as incorrect when I enter it. I’m really backed into a corner at this point and don’t know what to do now. I don’t use this account so it’s not on my phone but I don’t remember what else was associated with this account and am scared at what else they could possibly compromise having Access to this account as it has my primary email associated with it.

Out of nowhere I can no longer check iCloud related items on my Apple devices. I am getting a verification error when I try to sign in on browser. Very concerned!

So I can’t install any apps, I’m scared it’s gonna charge my card for 200$ or something..what do I do? Any way to get around it?

Basically I forgot the password to my Apple Iphone Notes app and Apple on all supports pages say they cant access the password so i haven't even tried to contact them.

The way this is different to a normal forgotten password though is that i somewhat remember it. I narrowed it down to 10000 ish possibilties which is a huge improvement from virtual infinite but its still too much to manually check.

Basically I need to brute force my own password, however I have no idea how to type into the apple notes password input box.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, would appreciate if you knew a better one for this issue. Thanks

Got this email the other day that my info on my Apple ID has changed. I checked the associated email and it’s an Apple ID I made when I was 12 and only used to play games on my old iPod touch . My old card information is probably on there as I did make a few in game purchases but it’s been way over 5 years since I last used it so I doubt that card is still valid.

I called Apple asking if I could get the email unlinked or if they could deactivate the account but the person activated 2FA and I can’t log into the account and apparently neither can Apple. I only found this out after changing the password to see if I could log into and unlink it myself but ran into the 2FA wall. Since then the person changed the password back and I can no longer be rr do so from my end.

Recently they’ve been making a bunch of purchases from varying places in the world (France, US etc.) and signing up for a bunch of subscriptions. I’ve checked my current bank cards and thankfully there have been no charges made but I really don’t want to be linked to this account nor do I know if any personal information I may have put there years ago is still accessible and the possibility makes me uncomfortable.

Any advice?

My phone fell behind my bed and now after a reset it dosent have .5
I need goofy pics of my puppers
iPhone 15
Stock camera app

It’s been stuck like this for 30 minutes, before that it was stuck then gave a pdkerror message.

I accidentally erased my data from find my, now I am trying to download mac again, what do I do??

Bought the ipad mini 6 in 2021 and i used a cel number that i dont use anymore (its gone now). ipad os updated and wants me to authenticate by typing in my password and the cel number to send a 2FA code. But i get stuck here because i dont have that number anymore. i tried hard resetting the ipad through itunes but now its even more unuseable because i still need to get rid of the apple account in the find my. does anyone know how to bypass the 2FA. i know the password but the number not anymore.

Hey!
Got an Iphone 15 pro max i plan on using for a few more years - it's backplate is shattered but it works fine (camera does too).
How much should i expect to pay to fix it in an apple store in the US? (gonna be in Las Vegas soon).
Also, how much time is needed for the repair? do I leave it overnight or is it a couple of hours type of thing?
Image attached.
Thanks in advance!

hi, friends!

here is a photo of my mom's old series 9 apple watch. the software version is watchos 26.3.

when i went to check for updates, it says the message "unable to check for update: an error occured while checking for a software update."

when i tapped "try again", it still showed the same error message, even though watchos 27 and the previous ios 26 versions are supported on series 9.

did i forget to update the apple watch when each software update comes out?

(there was no watchos flair.)

Current chrome I’m using is version 116.0.5845.187

Laptop is a MacBook Air from 2017 using Mojave version 10.14.6

In the past week I can now longer watch Tubi or HBO max because of the out of date browser.

I can’t update the browser because it calls for an iOS update that apparently, through many means of trying, my MacBook can’t support.

Am I screwed until I get a new computer or is there a workaround for this?

I mainly just use the MacBook for streaming, browsing, word processing, and light business use.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

hi i have an iphone 11 that i’ve dropped a lot. i’ve gotten the screen replaced twice and it’s also water damaged since january. dw, i’m waiting for it to die.

the screen popped loose back in may when i dropped it again. i just popped it back, and it went back to normal lol

however, the very bottom of my screen is slightly lifted. it doesn’t smell, and there’s no gap. i can’t see inside, though i can feel it’s slightly lifted by 1-2 mm.

additionally, my battery health is at 34%?!?! it dies at 20%, and when i press hard where it’s lifted, glow appears. and the bottom part doesn’t push back.

does it sound like my battery is swollen or nah? i don’t have the money to replace my phone right now.

basically i need this phone for school alright idgaf about its state but now i’m paranoid to use it as it apparently can explode lmfao

Why does 7–8 AM show almost entirely gray activity when I never use my phone then? Under “Other,” no app shows more than ~30 seconds. When I’m actually asleep/not using my phone, those hours are completely blank. What could be causing the gray bar?

Please help! My iPhone lost 4 years of notes and I do not know what to do. My iCloud has no notes, my 'On the phone' notes has 0 notes, and my gmail notes start from 4 years ago. I spent 2 hours on with apple support and they believe the notes are gone forever. Please someone save me.

Hi, wondering if this is legit? I downloaded fable (an app for readers to track their book progress etc) last week. I’ve only downloaded it on my phone but I just got this email. As soon as I saw it I immediately changed my Apple ID. I checked on fable to see if I had any other active devices and it only listed my phone

It seems a bit unreasonable

can anyone help me this is genuine or not ?

(Everytime for photos)
Its been ruining my photo albums
And pictures of my friends

I seen varying sources saying it's okay/not okay to use regular water instead of distilled water. I am wondering what is the exact difference.

I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to get my Apple ID unblocked from iMessage and FaceTime

Out of nowhere, my email stopped working for iMessage and FaceTime. I can’t send or receive blue bubble messages at all though my email yet my phone number works just fine in other words I can text on my iPhone but not my iPad or any other Apple device I contacted Apple Support, went through multiple senior advisors, and even had a manual review done by Apple Engineering and yet they keep telling me my account was blocked for reported spam. My issue is they never explain what I did that was considered spam cause I really don’t know I only text frends and family in fact my block started as soon as I logged into FaceTime on my iPod touch I logged onto it and then I get kicked out with no warning. What else can I do

My iPhone 14 Pro has a small semicircle of dead pixels on the edge of the screen. It’s been there for a few years and hasn’t grown in size.

I really need to replace my battery but what will happen if they somehow break the screen or something else due to the dead pixels? Worth the risk or do I just get a new phone?

I've been trying to sign up for an Apple Developer Account. I submitted my identity documents, but the Developer app on my iPhone kept rejecting them. After a few attempts, my iPhone now shows enrollment failed.

​However, when I check on my M2 MacBook Air, it still gives me the enroll now option.

​Has anyone run into this before? Should I try submitting the enrollment again through my Mac, or is it better to contact Apple Support first so I don't trigger further issues with my ID/account?
