Devices list has a device I do not recognize as one of mine
When I login to my Apple account under Devices, there is a MAcBook Air 13" listed that is NOT one of mine. How do I delete this device?

You are welcome. If you have changed the password, that should prevent anyone from signing into your Apple ID. If you were able to change the ID, someone may have accessed your account, but they didn't take control of it. Your Apple ID password and your email password are 2 different things unless your Apple ID email is an @iCloud, @Me or an @Mac address. If it is one of those, the password change would change the password for the email.

See the remove section in the first link. I suggest you change your password as a precautionary measure.

What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support I suggest doing this before you change your Apple ID or password.
Eric Root - Thanks I removed the Mac, but in doing so it gave a notice saying it will still be listed if logged in. Any idea how the Mac was listed under my Devices. Has the account been hacked? I have changed password.
Only Apple using ipad mini as TV remotes. But login is my email account. If someone logged into the Apple account can they get into my email account?
