Hello all
just thought to se my devices on icloud.com and use the find my iphone feature there
Saw all my devices and just noticed that i saw one device of a friend of mine *a macbook pro)
somehow it uses my apple id

how can this be?
Is that computer able to see the rest of the features like iMessage.facetime etc of my apple id ??how can i unlink my apple id from that computer?
Please help!
 

yes i just did this
even though i had changed the password in the past
still when i sign in to icloud.com
on the find my iphone section the macbook is still there
by mistake i have pressed erase...

my main concern is if that person could actually see my iMessages or FaceTime calls or any other detail that relates tis services used by my apple id :(

If the macbook in question is logged into iCloud using your Apple ID the person who owns the macbook has access to your contacts, calendar, reminders, notes, iMessages and photos in photo stream.

if i have changed the password?can he still look to althea info?
have changed my password twice
 
My guess is that it's probably just the last location whenever your iCloud account was on his computer. (I guess by friend you mean someone who you sold your old device to?)

iCloud can cache your last location (you can turn off this setting if desired)

actually it wasn't a computer i sold..it was a computer i a friend had and brought it in for me to help him with a few things..
i am just worried that maybe sensitive information are shared with that computer even though i have changed the password twice..one time a couple of months ago and one time yesterday
i removed the device from find my iphone on icloud.com

i hope that is all its needed?

If he is your friend, can't you just look at his computer to check that it is still not signed on with your Apple ID?

If it is, then you can simply log your Apple ID off his computer and then you can sleep in peace...

If it isn't, then there is nothing for you to fret about...

Unfortunately I can't reach him anymore
I think I will call apple first thing tomorrow and see what they will say

As I have said I have changed my passwords several times
 
If you changed your password he definetly CAN'T(!) access any more informations.

If the macbook is still displayed in "Find my phone" on icloud.com it's the last known location of the device when your Apple ID was signed in.

i guess you are right
not sure why i got my apple id on that computer
i had it only for a few days
that was totally weird
s for icloud.com
i have removed the device from the list of the find my iphone section

hopefully my sensitive information weren't showing on that computer as well as on all my other apple devices!
