Why when I log into devices I'm asked if I am logging in near Chicago? I'm not in Chicago so I decline. I've changed my Apple ID and my password and still prompts Chicago at times. How can I see if I have something associated with Chicago?

If this is an e-mail you received, or a popup on the screen, about the time you were actually logging in, there is probably nothing to worry about. The location in the e-mail is where your ISP reported it. If their servers are in a location distant from you, there will be a large error. Based on other posts I have read, the distant error can be very large.
Thank you Eric, this is very helpful. Would that distance be to Florida though? I'm in Florida with "someone in Chicago is logging in..".
You are welcome. I have read posts of errors that were a thousand miles or so.
