Facebook profile photo of someone else, defaulting to my mail account

I have friended a person who has the same name as me in Facebook. Recently their profile photo from Facebook has been showing up in Mac Mail as my profile image, in the top right corner of incoming and outgoing mail.
Does anyone know how to switch this off?
Thanks

That image isn't being sent out by any of your outgoing mails, so nobody will see it but you. Not to worry.
If you still want to get rid of it, open Address Book, and find the entry for yourself. The picture should be there; just delete it from the card.

Can someone else log onto their iTunes account on my iPad

Can someone else log into their iTunes account on ur iPad

They can if they sign out of your ID in the Settings app first. The option can be found by selecting iTunes and App Store, then tapping on your ID. Any purchases downloaded on the device stay until they are deleted, but apps must be updated using the ID that originally downloaded them

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this?

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this? Not all of the users in our environment have this issue. If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts. Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

My facebook profile photo shows up on an email to a friend who has a yahoo email address, but is not my Facebook friend. All my FB privacy settings are at the max. Is this a Yahoo privacy issue? I don't want my photo to go to other than FB friends.

I recently sent an email to a friend, who is NOT a Facebook friend, who has a yahoo email account, and my Facebook profile picture appeared next to the email. My privacy settings on FB only allow FB friends to see my photo. Why is another yahoo account that is not a FB friend seeing my profile photo and is there a Yahoo privacy setting that will eliminate this from happening? Thank you.

Did you check that your Facebook settings haven't changed?
Facebook may have changed them as part of a software update.
Is there a link in that email (signature) with a link to that picture?
Try to send an email to yourself.

My photos contain someone else's photos and my phone settings are scrambled. I also receive someone else's messages after 7.0.3 update?

I have photos on my 4s of someone else, taken in a very different area than what I am in. Also receiving some of their imessages?

is there any chance that your icloud is signed into their account or them on your's?

Facebook profile photos missing in contacts

When I had ios7 installed on my iPhone 5, my linked contacts would have their Facebook profile pictures as contact photos. So, for example, when they called it was their Facebook photo which came up on the screen.
Since updating to ios8 this is no longer the case. Only the contacts I've assigned photos to show up. The other contacts still seem to be linked, just not the profile photos.
Can anyone help?

I have the same issue. When I sync contacts in Facebook it updates 0. No matter what I do the pictures won't update.

Users are unable to see their own profile photo although everyone else can see it in Lync 2013 client

We have Lync 2013, Exchange 2010 and several AD
servers in mixed mode 2003/2008.
All user are unable to see their own profile photo
either in the main Lync window, in the settings or in a chat although other user can see that their photo is there and displaying. The user experiencing the issue can go open Outlook 2013 client and will see their photo displaying correctly in the file menu
(and elsewhere) here.
I have confirmed this happens with any new users I set up as well. We have gone through a fair amount of troubleshooting with other Lync photo issues and simple fixes such as deleting the SIP cache folder etc proves to be ineffective.
Our Cs-ClientPolicy Global is set to websearchonly.
We have "Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog" set
for the ThumbnailPhoto attribute in AD.
We are also forcing photos from AD only (or no photo) by setting the following:
"Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity PhotosControl -DisplayPhoto
PhotosFromADOnly"
and finally we are importing the photo in ad using this PS command:
"Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity "Test User"
-Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "C:\pictures\testuser.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))"
The pictures being uploaded are under 10KB in size.
I have followed many threads and will provide any information I can to help find the problem. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I have also tried the following but with no success: https://knowledge.zomers.eu/misc/Pages/How-to-fix-your-photo-not-showing-up-in-the-Lync-client.aspx

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

Does someone else have my iCloud Mail address?

I'm either being scammed or someone else has been issued my iCloud email address.
Just started getting lots of "Facebook" titled emails sent to my iCloud address. They are in the name of a different user, though, not me.
How can I contact Apple if this is a duplicate email issued by them in error? How can I tell if it's bogus?

Thanks, but, your link took me here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/, and the "get started button" didn't work.
Is there another way to access the kb information?
Edit: Actually took me here, https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.do, and I get the spinning gear.

HT1657 I have been charged for a rental movie and have not purchased it can someone else hack into my iTunes account?

I have been invoiced for a movie that I haven't downloaded can you confirm when this was rented?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Have you checked the purchase history on your acocunt via the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) drop-down menu option on your computer's iTunes ? If you didn't rent it, and nobody else has access to your account, then you can contact iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My Mac Mail is assigning someone else's name to my account.

One of my OLD client's names is getting assigned to my email address somehow!
Many people have let me know that when they receive and email from me my name shows as this other lady's. VERY strange. The people who I am sending the email to do not have any clue who the other person is. I'm not sure if it only happens when I email a gmail account or something like that, because it doesn't happen every time. I haven't been able to figure it out. I've checked everything in the Mail > Preferences and also searched my computer to see if her name came up on anything else. She is not in my contacts list, I've deleted my email account and set it back up and I'm still unable to figure this out!
This is confusing my other clients and not making me look very professional. If anyone has any advice for how to fix this PLEASE let me know.

It sounds like Mail isn't accepting your changes for some reason.
I don't have a Mavericks machine available so I can't do too much double-checking for places where it would be pulling the name.
I would remove the account from Mail (delete it) and re-add it. You may want to post over in the Mavericks forum, too, as someone there may have more troubleshooting ideas.

How do I get rid of someone else's apps on my account?

A few months ago I synched my new iPhone with my computer at work. It seems that, unknown to me at the time, someone had used the itunes on my computer to update their iPad. Suddenly, I had one million apps on my phone that I had never downloaded. It took me a bit to fgure out what happened and I thought I had fixed it. I know have a new computer (MacBook Pro) at my new job. I set up itunes on this computer with my account and all of the apps that are associated with the other person's account are still associated with my account somehow. How the **** do I get rid of these??? I want to synch my iPhone, but I'm terrfied that I'll have these 6GB of apps on my phone if I do. Please help!!! Thank you.

Have you tried deleting them in iTunes on the computer and then turning off sync of apps in iTunes? That should clean the phone, then do a resync with just the apps you want selected in iTunes.

Someone else has used my email account to create an itunes account

Hi! Hopefully somebody maybe able to help.
I have an itunes account, but have another personal email address. Someone has registered this email address for itunes and an ipod touch (which I don't have)
I saw the two emails from apple saying thank-you for registering so I emailed apple on [email protected] to say that I hadn’t registered this email account and asking them to delete my email address as an apple itunes account. I didn’t hear anything back so thought maybe it was ok.
Then today I received an itunes receipt only for $1.07 and billed to Store Credit. The email address is right but they have used my name and a different address in USA whereas I live in UK.
I’m worried this is fraud and it will escalate.
Any ideas how can I get this sorted out?
Anybody know of the best contact details for apple for this sort of thing?
Thanks for ay help anybody can give me!

You can contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting) and explain your situation to them.
Good luck.
