Emails being sent from my account that I did not ssend
This morning I was sent an email wife's email account that she did not send, further, it has now been sent to her entire contact list. How do I stop this.
The problem is with your email provider. I suspect someone has hacked your account because you use the same password for most of your online work. You should change your password and not use the same password for most of your on-line accounts, most people are lazy and don't use different passwords because they can't remember them all. You should begin changing your passwords and using a password management tool to help you remember. If you need help choosing one Google "OS X Password Managers" to find some reviews.

Messages are being sent from my computer that I did not originate
I am receiving multiple e-mails saying that messages could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. I have not initiated these e-mails. How do I stop whoever has hi-jacked my computer to send these messages from doing this?

More Spam emails being sent from My Account again?
Despite changing my password and security several times from a clean PC, delteing all emails from my BT account regularly including sent items and spam folders and trash folders.
At least a dozen or more friends and collages are still getting regular spam emails from my account. I do not store any contacts in the webbased interface and don't even use the account these days so I "presume" that there is nothing I can do my end to stop theses emails being sent out from "somebody else".
Any suggestions welcome.

(One of many reasons I left BT).Your account was probably hacked sometime back along with many others and your contact list will have been harvested by spammers. The list is now available to the spammers to use at any time they wish.
When they send spam to your contacts they are not sending them from your email account but rather they have spoofed your email address to make it appear it is from your account so that it fools your contacts into opening the spam.
What you need to do is create a new email address, use one of your sub-accounts and then tell all your contacts that your "old" email address has been compromised and that they should treat any emails from it as spam and delete them without opening them.
Once you have done that, if you still have a BT account, you can then change your "New" email address to become your BTID and primary email account by logging into your MyBT and going to My Profie and changing the contact email address and username to your "new" email address.
See link about spoofed emails addresses.

Yahoo mail sent from iPhone 4 that I did not send
There have been two messages that show they were sent from my iPhone yahoo account (set up in the regular mailbox, not another application for email) that are links. Other than the link, it only says it is sent from iPhone. The message is not shown in my sent mail (like all other messages I send), and it gets sent to a few random recipients from my contact list (not the entire list).
Is this a virus? Would it be coming from some application I have on the phone? Please help! I don't want to have my phone sending people random links!

I believe that my iPhone or apple ID has been hacked into. Three imessages were sent from my phone that I did not type or send - two while I was asleep at 1:15am and in the morning during an iMessage conversation. These messages were to my boyfriend about my boss. Apple and AT&T have been somewhat helpful but both are pointing fingers at the others saying they cannot track the message or see if my personal information has been compromised. I feel extremely violated because this hacker knows who my boyfriend is and who my boss is and I just started this job two weeks ago! I am about to go to the police because this person is trying to taint my good reputation and destroy my relationships at work and in my personal life. Does anyone have any incite on how this could be done and is there any way to trace where those three iMessages were generated from??
No I have my own iPhone iPad and MacBook so everything is set up on devices that are mine and as far as I know I never connected to anyone else's device and logged with my apple ID. But are you saying it is possible for someone to have obtained my apple ID and send an iMessage from their device with my contact information so it looks like it came directly from me? It's crazy I looked down at my iPhone and saw this message had just been sent that I did not type or send

I have 3 email accounts in Mail on Macbook Pro. Mail is only being sent from 1 account.
I have 3 email accounts in Mail. Mail is only being sent from 1 account, even though I select one of the other accounts in the "from" field. In my sent box, the "From" field says the accout I selected, but all recipients say they receive it from a different account. I set my composing preferences "send new messages from" to the main account, but all my mail is still being sent from a different account. I cannot see that this is happening, only people receiving it can. I noticed it because when they reply, it goes to a different account than what I sent to them. Any suggestions with what I should do?
Thank you! Funny. I had just found that answer eleswhere: http://simonwheatley.co.uk/2013/02/apple-mail-sending-email-from-the-wrong-accou nt/

When replying an email from my icloud alias, it's being sent from primary account
Hi everybody
I have experienced a little problem which is that when I'm replying to an e-mail from my iphone using my icloud alias, my reply is being sent from my primary e-mail and not from my alias as it should be sent.
That's happening only when I reply from the iphone, not when using webmail icloud.com.
Has anybody experienced the same issue ever?
ThanksIt may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
Send new messages from:
choose
Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar. -

I repeat. While I was talking via land line to land line with a friend they began recieving text messages from my Iphone that I did not send. I am in the middle east and I was calling a land line in Mexico but that should not have mattered. Moreover, the person I was speaking to told me they had gotten other text messages from me that know I never sent. I called my phone company (AT&T) and was told the problem was not with the system but with my Iphone. They suggested someone was using app that mimicked my phone number. Is such a think possible?
In addition to my iphone I have an itouch. I only just today created an appleID so that I could use this message board so it seems unlikely that the problem is the result of a misused ID

Help! I have 4 different computers that I plug my iPhone 4 into from time to time. I just synced it with a laptop that I haven't plugged into for a long while, and it overloaded my phone with a ton of pictures from the computer that I did not want or need on my phone. When I went to PHOTOS on my iTunes, and checked "sync checked folders only", it says it will replace the photos on my phone. I'm not sure this is what I want...I don't want to lose the photos on my phone. I have over 3000 on there!
You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

I had some charges that showed up on my itunes account that we did not authorize. I disputed the charges and now my Apple ID has been deactivated. How can I reset it?

Since you disputed the charges with your credit card company, the CC company reversed the charges and Apple (correctly) locked the AppleID.
You will need to contact Apple -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
and explain what happened. -

I had files in my mobil me account that I did not tranfer before I upgraded to cloud. Is there anyway I can get them? They were my travel photos
The migration process is likely to have signed you out in System Preferences>MobileMe and you will need to sign in again. Then you can mount your iDisk on the Desktop (command-shift-i). Or you can access your files at http://me.com/idisk.
