OK, so enough with the idk....

Someone didn't just get into your devices by magic. You need to tell us exactly what happened in clear, concise words.

Start with the first thing that happened and anything that you may have noticed or done differently prior to it's happening. Then tell us what happened next - one thing at a time.

Were your devices purchased 2nd hand? Have your devices been in the hands of any of your "friends" for extended periods of time? Do any of your "friends" know your iCloud password? Is your device jailbroken?

I agree with gail from maine unlikely you've been hacked. More than likely someone you know has your iCloud/iTunes username and password and has wiped your devices.

There seems to be something wrong with the punctuation keys on whatever device you're typing on. It makes your posts very difficult to read.

If you believed your Apple ID was compromised, you should contact Apple Security as soon as possible:
