when I sign in to my apple id, I get a notification but it shows a wrong location.

I'm not sure if you will be able to help, ChitlinsCC, your operating system probably doesn't support this feature. Thank you anyway.

I would try to reset Location Services

About privacy and Location Services - Apple Support (much more than "about")

About Location Services in OS X and Safari - Apple Support

Your approximate location is determined using information from local Wi-Fi networks, and is collected by Location Services in a manner that doesn’t personally identify you.

It sounds like there may be some "historic" location 'stored'... possible a reset will clear it and allow NEW (current) location to take over

I Have the same problem. after updating to iOS 10.0.2 confirmed id and password got a message onscreen "your Apple ID is being used to sign in to a device near Middlesbrough England" showing a map of Middlesbrough- I live on the other side of the country To proceed I had to allow or disallow. I initially disallowed as I thought there was a security problem. But it happens every time now so changed my password just to be on the safe side ( had to allow to do this).

I have a case number to ring Apple support tomorrow

The location data for these notices is provided by the "internet" itself. So whatever piece (a switch or router) of the 'net that receives that request is identified by whoever owns the hardware for that section.

Some internet partners may be better at labelling their sections than others.

I got his today when I changed passwords - it says i'm logging in from WA, when im in Sydney NSW. Possibly a Telstra IP location issue I suspect.

I also am shown as located in Middlesbrough by iCloud, although I am in Cornwall.

Are you using BT broadband by any chance?

I get the same thing - my location shows as Middlesbrough, but I'm in Oxford. I was confused until I realised the logins were me!

I use BT Broadband, so I guess they are masking my real location..?

Mine says Middlesborough too! I live in Essex. Is it the device I'm signing into that's wrong, or my Apple ID?

I Have just received the same response, did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Hello

Thanks for this information. So you don't suspect that the device is being used by someone else?

Have you (or anyone) had any success talking to the internet provider to discuss?

THank you

c

yes

Except that it's my phone, not my computer, that it's saying is 700 miles away from where it actually was.

Translator please. The grammar is awful and rushed.

I had the same experience, frannbug & agree with you totally. When we have to "Just ignore the message that suggests you're being hacked" it's pretty grim.

your apple id is being used to sign in-to to a device near pequaywan,mn Version 10.1 (10603.1.30.0.34) why is this happing? rich
