I accidentally wiped all my iPhone's app's earlier this evening so i restored it from an iCloud backup from 3am this morning which has done the trick. As it first came on it asked for my Apple ID & password as normal which i typed in and once it had finished setting up it restarted as it should.

When it came back on though, there was another window asking for the username & password for Apple ID and it had an email address already in it of which I've never come across before in my life.

Doing a google search finds this person's facebook page & mobile phone number and what music they like and petitions they have signed.....

Confused & Worried



EDIT: On second thoughts, my iPhone was brand new from Apple in September when they came it, it couldnt have had a previous owner....

Have you illegally downloaded music? It will ask for authorisation for any music/apps that have been downloaded originally by someone elses iTunes account.
