About a month ago I stayed at my parents for a while and used my Apple laptop with their wifi. They both have ipads, neither of which I touched, let alone used to log in to anything.

 

Earlier this week (and well after me and lappy were back home) they changed broadband provider to Sky, since when both their iPads have been logging them in to various websites as me - including Facebook and my Amazon account! Mum only told me today when she ordered something on Amazon without realising she was logged in as me.

 

Anyone any clue as to what is going on? Hubby thinks their ipads have somehow synchronised with my laptop, but if it was that, surely it would have showed up a lot sooner?

 

More importantly, can anyone provide idiot proof instructions as to how to stop it? I have no idea how ipads work and I seriously doubt the folks have either. They usually get tech help from a granddaughter who lives locally, but as luck would have it she's away on holiday.

Are you with Sky where you live ?

 

I don't think it is the ipad/laptops retaining information between them. It is the websites or IP providers who are keeping the IP addresses/websites visited and getting confused.

 

When their new broadband was set up, they would have set it up again and your temporary connection to their home network would have been removed ?

We could do with some help from you.

I'm with BT. They were with talktalk, now sky.

 

No idea what/how they set up the new router - I believe the Sky engineer who did their TV did it for them. Dad is unfortunately starting to get confused so Mum's trying her best to sort things out. She says she's logged out of everything she can think of then logged back in again as herself/Dad so hopefully it won't cause any more problems. Fingers crossed anyway - trying to resolve IT issues I don't understand via email is not easy!

Just had a thought. If you were added to the home internet group on the adminstrators laptop, then when the new connection was set up, there may be some file sharing some information about internet sites visited. So the obvious thing to do would be to remove you from the home group and to clear all history of internet sites visited.
