Hey guys,

I'm facing a pretty disgusting problem. Last night, I misplaced my iTouch which had my Gmail and Yahoo e-mail accounts synced in it. I'm not going to get the iTouch back, I've checked everywhere, so we can move past that.

I got home and changed my Apple ID and password, removed my credit card on file from there so the person wouldn't be able to make any new app purchases or whatever. I also changed my Gmail and Yahoo e-mail account passwords.

Unfortunately, for whoever who took the iTouch, it wasn't enough to have a new iTouch to play with, but they also went ahead and changed my passwords for Gmail and Yahoo. The hell is the matter with people today? I think they've been able to do this because my iTouch was synced with Gmail and Yahoo and therefore since they're already logged in on both e-mail accounts, they're able to control the accounts and change passwords.

I've regained access to my e-mail accounts through security questions and other methods, but I'm still wary about losing access because this person could go ahead and change the passwords again since they have it synced.

Is there any way I can control this? Can I restrict password changes on my accounts without notifications through something? Also, I re-gained access through security questions and through my mobile phone number that I had listed on my accounts, I'm just thankful this person hasn't changed THOSE as yet. Before they realize that this has been done, and change those too, I'm determined to have full control over my accounts. Can I somehow remove the sync with my iTouch through my e-mail accounts? Restrict something here?

Any help would be great, thanks so much.

I don't know what an iTouch is, but usually when you change your Gmail/Yahoo/MobileMe passwords, this will lock out any 3rd party mail clients connecting as the 3rd part mail clients use the same password when they make the connection to do the sync. Gmail also allows the use of one-use passwords, if you are using this (and if you are not sure then you arn't) then you can revoke this password as well.

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.

    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
