Find my Iphone on Icloud shows a Macbook that's not mine

Hi All,


Yesterday I tested Find my iPhone on iCloud and all my devices show, and also a Macbook Pro that is not mine!


I used to have and old Macbook Pro that I sold, but before I did perform a clean install of iOS.


Any ideas?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

I have the same issue. It is for a Mac Pro - I have never owed a Mac Pro, singed into a Mac Pro with my iCloud account. It cannot located the device but it just shows up under my devices at icloud.com or using the IOS app- I can lock it, erase it, and make a sound though if I wanted to. Very confusing. Is anyone else out there having this issue?


I have changed my iCloud password and the device still shows up!

I have the same issue. I sold my old macbook a while ago, and now it is showing up in find my iphone app. I dont have his contact information to resolve this issue...so i have no idea if he has access to my icloud information. I also did a clean wipe before selling. Unfortunate for both of us because I could wipe his mac at any moment...and I always know where he is.


I hope somebody can fix it. Is it possible the macbook serial # is assigned to my apple ID?

This might not be very helpful for your specific issue, but it did work for me.


I sold my iphone 4 when switchign to 5 - restored factory settings first. I then receieved an email a few months later that the iphone 4 is now viewing my imessages. It was quite a discomforting email...apparently it is an issue apple is aware of. I changed my icloud password. The user without my new password is now unable to view my icloud information.
