Depending on what computer or iDevice, or services you've been using

there are a few things you could do. You may read this & see if it helps:

You can change which iCloud features you're using on any of your devices

by turning features on or off. You can also turn off iCloud completely.

You can also change the iCloud password if you may have shared it or

think it may have been compromised by some other of your actions.


iCloud: Change your iCloud password - Apple Support

Regularly change your iCloud password to protect the privacy of your

information stored in iCloud.

If you've used same login or email as AppleID you may have other options.

Since there are several reasons or issues that may cause concern, and you've

said little, I'll leave this as-is; you could add to this thread with more details.

This link tells how simple to setup all devices you have to share iCloud

and this also adds the 'free 5GB' online cloud storage/account:

When I was going to set up an iPad Mini given to me, any email address

would start this, that isn't the problem; the AppleID and your tie-in to

any other products is nearly automatic... IF you set up by these rules.


{So after twice choosing to set up this iPad Mini and finding a pile of stuff

that I didn't really want, or do with the iPad: It's wiped clean + back in box.}


Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
