Apple just sent Mail for verification, name not mine, address is one of my addresses

Apple just sent me an email. It was not addressed to my name and it was asking the recipient to confirm the email address given was their rescue email address. The email mentioned was one of my mail addresses, one I have had with apple for over 10 years. copy below.
Dear Clement,
You recently added *****@me.com as a new rescue email address for your Apple ID. To verify this email address belongs to you, click the link below and then sign in using your Apple ID and password.

Never click on a link in an email that asks you to start entering any of your account information, passwords, etc.

Bugzilla is not the place for this sort of problem. Forwarded this post to the relevant team.

I registration to apple ID but I can't got e-mail for verification. I log-in to manage your account on computer and resend to verification e-mail . I not got verification e-mail.com.

This is not an area where I have any expertise, but you may want to consider using separate Apple IDs and using the recently released Family Sharing capabilities which still allow you to share your music and apps.

HT4623 i can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and it has Safari. My iphone4 does not. What is the problem?

I can no longer access Safari. It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it (Safari) still does not work. I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable. However, Safari on my iphone is not. What is the problem?

That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do?

Do you think this is just a way to get my credit card information?

It sounds like a phishing email. You can't "cancel" purchases. You've now given them your AppleID and password, so you should immediately change your password to something new and very secure.
Also watch out for suspicicious activity on your account.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can use your primary ID or your alternate ID to log into iCloud. If you aren't sure what these are, you can find out at...

Someone made a purchase from my Apple ID to a device that was not mine – I received an email stating that this occurred, yet the only solution that Apple gave me was to change my password. When I look at my account, I can see the $20.00 purchase of music volumes that I did not purchase myself and was not uploaded to any of my devices; however, I cannot find a solution to getting my money back or to file a complaint against the unknown person that did this. Additionally, how do we prevent something like this from happening again, especially when I have an iPhone? What can I do in this situation?

Thank you for the suggestion. I did change the password; however, I generally will purchase gift cards to link to the account so that if something like this ever happened it would not be taken out of a credit card or bank account.

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

Why are security headers not visible when viewing "sent" mail for mail sent with S/MIME certificates?

I am using an S/MIME certificate to sign my emails using Mail on Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I have a trusted S/MIME certificate for each of my email accounts. The certs and private keys are properly installed in the keychain. I am able to successfully send signed (and optionality encrypted) email and the recipients are all all receiving the emails showing a trusted signed email without having to acknowledge or trust the signature. So technically the certificates are working. Obviously the encryption option is only offered when I also have the recipients certficate in my keychain.
What I am noticing is that when I look in my sent items - (regardless of which email I used as the "sender") - I don't see any indication in the mail headers that the mail was sent with a signed certificate - even though I know the recipient is seeing that the mail is signed with a cert. I have no way of telling whether I sent the mail as "signed" or "unsiged". The default is to use the certificate for all outbound emails - unless I specifically uncheck the secure signing option before sending. In mail that I recieve - sent from others with certs or sent from one of my email accounts to the other - I see the the certificate indication in the email header.
On rare occasion - I do see the certificate when viewing sent mail - but only for random sent mails - and so far I believe I have only seen the certificate show up in mail that is sent from my iCloud account. I can send subsequent mail from iCloud - and still not see the certificate in the sent items.
Why am I not seeing the Security Header showing the certificate when viewing mail that I have sent in my sent items folder? Is there some setting that I am not seeing that controls this - or is this a bug in Mac Mail? Also why does the security header show up for just a handful of sent emails - when hundreds of signed emails have been successfully sent.
Any help would be appreciated. The behavior is the same on my other Macs - at least the ones on which the certificates are also installed.
Also - I don't have my certs installed on my iPhone yet - so I can't tell on the iPhone if the certs are showing up in the sent folder - but I can see the certs on mail that I send to myself from the Mac but receive on the iPhone.

I stopped using the S/MIME certs and stopped signing my emails. Too many recipients were receiving them as "attachements" especially if the recipients email account was on an Exchange server. My certs have since expired and I have not done anything to further analyze the situation. My original post was over a year ago and I have long since been on Mavericks.
To: iddontknowwhoiamsowhat ... I am not totally following your response. You say you are seeing the exact same issue - yet you are also saying you can look at the sent mails from os x and ios - does this mean that you see the security badges on the sent emails in both os x and ios? I assume you are on Mavericks?

HT204053 I cannot access iCloud when I get to put in my password I am told there is no verification and to go to my mail for verification but when I go there I have nothing,help please.

I am trying to access iCloud,I have had my ipad for over a year and did not use it,but now I have my I phone5 I find I can't do a lot with them together,so looking into this more I think it may be an iCloud issue,when I try to sign in I am told my account needs a verification or something??and to go to my mail which I do but nothing there,can I sestet and start again as my ignorance of these matters at the start may be causing this,help please.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Sent Mail says "_____ has not been downloaded from the server."

One of my users tells me that her sent mail witch she refers to often says, "The message from user name <email address> concerning “Kalimba Co.” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." (The account is online, sending and recieving is not a problem)
I have read some other related issues and found that mail usually only holds 1GB in the sent folder and she had 6k emails (1.74GB) in this folder which I deleted and the problem is still not solved. I saw where a third party script was used in the related issue but that is not the route I want to go. Yor're help is greatly appreciated.

This might be a Tiger issue. You probably have upgraded tot 10.4 recently or installed firmware.
Before doing anything else... (like removing account, or shuffling messagefiles and the like) you might want to try this..
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303803
This article describes how to reindex Mail by removing Envelopindex file from your home/library/mail/ folder.
It worked great for me.
Eventhough gmail is pop account, removing indexfile "Envelopeindex" (moved to desktop) was good enough. A dialoguebox will tell you that new Tiger functions need this reindexing.
I hope this works for you as well.

N8 Mail for Exchange (can not send mails)

Hi guys,
I just got my new Nokia N8. I already setup Mail for Exchange via IMAP to sync the mails, contacts and the calendar of my private mailbox.
Everything runs alright. But I can not send mails via Mail for Exchange. If I push on "New Mail" the program say the command can not be executed and breaks down.
Does someone know how to fix that problem?
Thanks from Liechtenstein.
Phil

Hi,
I also had problems with unable to send emails.
I was getting error messages in the Mail for Exchange (MfE) log files such as
Setting DISK FULL status to false
Error occurred during sending mail. Setting status to waiting for reconnect
HTTP failure while sending messages.
I figured out a work around. The problem seemed to be with the certificate.
I ended up deleting the certificate and then only selecting "Accept this time only" which made everything work.
I am using a Nokia 5800.
To delete a certificate goto
Setting > Phone > Phone mgmt > Security > Certificate Management > Trusted site certificates
find the offending certificate and delete it.
The next time I tried to synchronize my emails with Mail for Exchange, I was asked to select whether to accept the certificate... press the option button.
Then select "accept this time only".
After doing that, the emails in the outbox were sent properly.
I have to figure out how to get this to work permanently, but for the moment it was a quick fix.
[I hope this helps. I tried to be as descriptive as possible and write with correct spelling so that search engines will collect it.]

System Log Event ID 4321 every 30 seconds, system name conflict for a name not in use

-- Symptom --
System event log shows an error with event ID 4321 every 30 seconds:
The name "pac-1 :2d" could not be registered on the interface with IP address 172.20.51.206. The computer with the IP address 172.20.21.2 did not allow the name to be claimed by this computer.
-- Environment --
OS: Windows 7 x64 Enterprise
Network: Enterprise domain
DHCP: Yes
WINS: via DHCP
-- Additional information --
This computer was set up from an image. The image was built with the system being named 'pac-1'. This system's name was changed to 'pac-11' before (or possibly shortly after) joining the domain and now has a completely different name, and there
is no system on the network with the name 'pac-1' (there are 'pac-3', and other numbers, but no 'pac-1')
I have renamed the system with no change to the frequency of the error, and I cannot find 'pac-1' in the registry anywhere except for strings located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\LANDesk\Inventory\LogonHistory\Logons that list prior logons.
I've done my google research and have found great information for plenty of other people's situations, just not this one. Any helpful advice is welcome.
Thank you!

I'd check my WINS server's registration entries, if they contain an
entry with that NETBIOS name. If the machine with the ip-address
172.20.21.2 is not your WINS server you need to check, what services
etc. are running on that machine. Also look if the domain/workgroup
name, which is used by this machine is correct and identical to all
other machines.
