Computer in wrong location?

Question

Computer in wrong location?

I can't login to my iTunes with my iMac because it thinks I'm in Omaha, NE. However, I live in Minneapolis and I checked my I.P. and it says it's located in Minneapolis as well. My internet provider says it has nothing to do with their serves and that none of there servers, etc... are in Omaha.

I get a warning on my iPhone that someone is trying to login to my iTunes from Omaha. So, even when I know I put in the correct iTunes password it gets rejected. Then gives me a code.

Anyone know how to fix or trouble shoot this issue?

I'm using a Apple AirPort Time Capsule as my wireless router which I have rebooted a few times.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support

What if I don’t recognize the location shown in my sign in notification?

When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.

If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in.

However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to ensure the sign in attempt is blocked.
