Apple ID compromised
Got an email from Apple today to let me know that somebody had used my Apple ID and Password to use FaceTime iMessage on an iMac called “iMac 13,1” Because I don’t know this iMac I have changed my Apple ID Password. Is there anything else I should do ?

Re: Apple ID compromised
Hi Stephen, Check it is not your Daughter's iMac that you setup using your Apple ID? That is a 21.5-Inch iMac late 2012 I think?

Re: Apple ID compromised
Hi Ronni, That was my first thought. But then I thought “iMac13,1” ??? I am pretty sure her’s is called “Sharon’s iMac” or something similar ! Unfortunately she is not very computer savvy and she is about 25 minutes away. Is there a simple way for me to get one of her kids to check her computer name ? I am not sure where to look.

Re: Apple ID compromised
Have you recently upgraded to Maveriks? Have you checked the Sharing pane of System Preferences? What does your computer name show as? If it is iMac 13,1 then you have not been compromised. Worth a look, it might explain the email. r On 24 Oct 2013, at 6:02 pm, Stephen Chape chap...@bigpond.com wrote: Got an email from Apple today to let me know that somebody had used my Apple ID and Password to use FaceTime iMessage on an iMac called “iMac 13,1” Because I don’t know this iMac I have changed my Apple ID Password.

Re: Apple ID compromised
Hi Stephen You can check the details the following way,.. Computer Name can be found from Apple menu - System Preferences - Sharing. It will then show Computer Name. To see the Model Identifier. Go to Apple menu - About this Mac. Click on More Info... (or System Profiler…. for older OSes). Then click System Report… Under Hardware Overview, on the right hand side it will show Model Identifier and be something like iMacx,x for the iMac range (e.g. iMac13,1) Hope that helps.
