I am receiving someone elses icloud email's through my icloud email address

I set up an icolud email address but don't use it. i have now started receiving emails to it from ebay, it appears that the email address is being used by someone to bid and buy from ebay. i have reported to ebay but they are not interested and have suggested this email address has been recycled.
I am seeing personal information which is contrary to the DPA.
Cant find a way of repoting it to Apple.

Perhaps someone has mistakenly added your email address to their eBay account. It astounds me how many people get their own email address wrong!
I don't know what the legalities of this are, but you may be able to get find the owner of the eBay account by requesting the password of the account be sent to the registered email address (yours) then log in to the account to get their contact details. Then get in touch with them and ask them to correct the email address and change their eBay password. They must be wondering why they are not getting any of their eBay emails.
I've had to do this a couple of times in the past when people have mistakenly signed up for services using my email address which has sent the username and password to me. The account owners have been very happy that they mistakenly used the email address of an honest person, rather than someone who would use the login details for mischief.

Receiving someone else's email on my computer but addressed to another

I have been receiving someone else's email on my computer, but the email has the address for their
computer. We are using 2 different ISP; only our last name is the same. Is this the work of a virus/worm received from an email from the other person? What can I do to rid my email of this intrusion?

I would say there are 2 possibilities:
1) The the sender (or sender's computer) sent the email to your address
2) The ISP of 'the other person' has made an error in one of his rerouting-rules
The only thing you can do is report these cases (forward the email with Full Headers ON) to the postmaster of both your and the other person's domain, as well as to the sender.
The problem is not on your end UNLESS you managed to configure your mailreader in a way that you use the other person's mail-servername, username and password, which is very unlikely!
Kind regards,
Adam

Would someone else's email address show on icloud backup?

My iphone was stolen 2 weeks ago, as soon as my replacment arrived I tried to restore my details from icloud. To my surprise, I found someone else's email address displayed asking for their password?
Would the case be (surmising only!) that this person has tried to log into itunes with their details to reset the iphone so then when I have tried to restore my new iphone it is displaying their last attempt or details in attempting to reset my stolen iphone?
I just dont undesrtand how their email is displayed on my icloud back up?

That Apple ID is associated with content on the iPhone. It's not itself a security threat.

When I send a text to someone, they receive it from my email address not my ph number, how can I stop this?

I recently upgraded to iOS 6 and am being told by my contacts that when I send a text they receive it from my email address (in their messaging app) and not from my phone number.
I have checked the send/receive settings in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, the phone is set to send/receive default from my phone, yet the email sends it first.
I have removed and re added the email address, but have had no luck resolving the problem.
Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there a way I can stop it without turning off iMessage?
Thanks in advance.

There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

On the Apple webiste, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email I received at my .me email address, it list the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it

In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273 - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
Again, respectfully,
1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at 1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
and
3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!

Someone used my email address to create an apple id. I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that?

Someone used my email address to create an Apple ID. I logged in to appleid.apple.com and I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that? Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.

When someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email, only a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?

when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening? I do not use imessage at all.

This is not something on your end. If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.

Of you're being phished. There are a lot of phishing scams going around right now with bad guys trying to get access to apple ID's.
Anytime you want to verify the info, do not click on any links in the mail, but open up iTUnes on your computer and check things out that way.
If you want to verify if anything is wrong http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
contact apple on your own and see what they say.

Someone using my email address to set up a new Apple ID

Hi!
I keep receiving notification emails as someone is trying to/has set up a new Apple ID by using my email address.
This person is trying to verify it as primary but, as a matter of fact it is me who gets all the 'spam'.
I don't know how to get in touch with this person as dropping him/her an email would mean writing to myself.
How can I report this issue to Apple?
Thank you!

using the email address in question, send an email to [email protected] and request to "unlink" your email address from the unknown skype account.

Welcome to the Apple Community..
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Someone Using My email Address to Send Spam

Does anyone know how to stop and preventing someone from using my email address? It says it's coming from Verizon. net moblie. I thought verizon put measures in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening?

Use a strong, complex password. Make sure the answer to your Secret Question isn't something that can be easily guessed or searched on the internet. Always check before entering your login info into ANY page that it is a legitimate Verizon page. Never give your username and password to anyone, even if they claim to be from Verizon. (Anyone within Verizon that needs your login info can already access it from their systems.)

Someone using my email address

From yesterday I have had hundreds of Failure Notices saying we were unable to send your email successfully go all these weird email accounts ending in .ru amongst others. Someone is obviously using my email it looks like in Africa. They start at 6.25 at night right through to 3.30am. I changed my as sword at 3.40 am yesterday morning after googling it but they came through all last night again. I am very worried . Should I shut down my email address?? Is that permanent ? Do I need to start a new account with a brand new email address? Please help!

Not receiving mails from certain email addresses

I am sending & receiving the majority or my mails without any problems but there are a few email address from which I am being sent mails that I am not receiving. They are not being notified that I am not receiving the mails either.
Could they be blocked on Mobile me? How can I unblock these addresses and retrieve the mail?
Thanks,

Yep, that's very typcial of mail from lists...
In Outlook open the message, click on File/Properties, and you'll see a box labled "Internet Headers". I usually copy that out and paste it to Notepad to make it easier to read...
You'll find that there are different addresses in the vairous headers.
This is NORMAL for some types of list mail.
