No not really and I am not shareing my Apple ID at all so I do not know what to do with all my problems unfortunately.


There’s a lot happening around your Apple ID and your devices:



Now this reported Find My issue.


The Find My ringing and the unrecognized devices seem to indicate Family Sharing is in use, or a shared Apple ID or a compromised Apple ID, and what to do about that is included in that reply.


Or if an error was not made with Family Sharing Find My in use, and if an error was not made with sharing an Apple ID or with a compromised Apple ID, make an appointment and bring the devices into an Apple store, and show the folks at Apple the mis-routed Find My issue reported here.


Regardless, I’d re-secure the Apple ID, passwords, passcodes, and related, and run Safety Check if your gear is new enough for that. This given the multiple issues all reported within a couple of days.

Have you solved the other issues you’ve posted about recently?


Because right now, there’s a bit of a backlog of postings you’ve made, without replies or resolution.


Your description here implies either Family Sharing is in use, or that you are erroneously sharing an Apple ID.


Erroneously sharing an Apple ID would explain some of what else you’ve reported.

So what are you saying???


You have much more than usual going on, with multiple issues reported.


I’d start by following up to the replies in those existing threads of yours.


I would also re-secure the Apple ID, reset passwords and passcodes.


I would also run Safety Check, if your gear is new enough for that.


Those replies also have info on how to detect unrecognized trusted devices, and how to run Safety Check.
