I got someone else's "Welcome to Skype" email.

I just received an email, apparently from Skype, welcoming "markbhona11" to the Skype family. I have no idea who that is or why he used my email when signing up. Could have been a typo on his part. I am concerned that I am going to start getting billed by Skype or some other scam. Please advise.

It is possible that someone created an account and registered your email address accidentally or intentionally. You can contact customer support and request to unlink that unknown account to your email address.

Entourage Email - I have taken over someone else job so have her email account with all folders and past emails and have also added my own email account. How can I sync the folders- as I need to be able to see them on my iphone but its under her 'account'

I have taken over someone else job so have two email accounts on my Entourage - as the past account had all the folders and past emails when I sync my mail onto my iphone I can not see the folders and any past emails. How can I sync all of her old mail account info (emails and folders) to my email account to make ONE email account?!

I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck!

How come someone else is receiving my icloud emails?

I just found out that someone else is receiving my icloud emails. I tried to make a dinner reservation and gave my icloud email address, nothing turned up so I called them and they said that someone with the same name as me called 5 minutes before to say they had received the confirmation email. I checked the address i entered online and it was correct, so someone else is receiving my mail. On checking back to my inbox, I haven't received a mail for about a week!! I can send mail, checked this by sending to my Gmail account, but someone else with the same name is receiving my mail, what can I do?

Hi Cammalitos,
If you are concerned about the security of your iCloud email account, and based on what you state it sounds like you should be, you should change the password for that Apple ID and iCloud account (they are the same) using the steps provided here -
Apple ID: Changing your password

You may also want to consider turning on two-step verification for increased security -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT5625 What if someone else put my apple id email for there rescue email address and security but i accidently gave them a wrong apple Id what can i do to hellp them and myself with this situation???

No need to get in touch with account security because they will only tell you what I'm about to tell you...
Just log into the appleid.apple.com website > sign in with his/her apple id > go to password and security in the left side > enter the security questions > and from there you can edit the rescue email.

Got someone else's tracking number...wth?

So I'm in the same boat as all of you. Preordered a 6+ last Friday, with an expected ship date of 10/14. Ok fine. I checked my order status on Monday (with MY confirmation number and MY last name) and got a tracking number. At that point, I was shocked. Tracked the package this morning and it's headed to New York. WTH? I'm in Washington state. How do I put in my order information and get someone else's tracking number??? Beyond frustrated!!!

I just had the same thing happen to me today. Ordered the 6 plus 64GB on 9/12 space grey with a delivery date of 10/7. Then I got a tracking number about 1.5 hrs ago. It was going to NC and I'm in Atlanta. Now the tracking number is missing. Customer service when I ordered the phone said 9/19. Then when I got the confirmation it changed to 10/7. This is annoying. I have no idea what's going on anymore. Just hope it comes to me soon.

I've got someone else's photos on my photostream

My photostream has disappeared and I now have someone else's photos in my photostream. How do I get rid of them and get my photos back.
I Haven't updated my software or lost any of my apple devices so I don't know why this is happening.

No I don't share my Apple ID or iTunes account, the photos aren't local either. I've now changed my apple password so I think that'll stop it but now all my photos are gone, I assume on someone else's photostream?

Got someone else's details on my iPad, need help quick

Ok, I really need help, I work on my new iPad 3 a lot, and my contacts mean a lot to me, but today I opened up my contacts and found names and numbers that i had never seen before in my life, then I opened up the photo stream and realised some girls Random Pictures had turned up...I don't want anything to do with this other persons information. And I don't want them having the ability to access mine, as it is important and private... Why is this happening, why is someone else information merging onto my device, I need immediate help as I'm loosing valuable time. Many thanks.

Go to settings>icloud, and make sure its your account there and not someone elses, and if possible go to icloud.com on a COMPUTER not the device and log in with your apple id, if you feel your account has been jeopardized please call in the apple support line and ask to speak with a iOS Senior advisor

Got someone else's mail in iCloud

Last week, amid yet another of the iCloud slowdowns/outages, I had a weird situation pop up that I thought you guys would get a kick out of
I was signed into iCloud. I couldn't get mail, as the servers were down, but I could see my message list. I was working on something else when I noticed the screen flash and my message list updated. I went to the list and it turned out the messages were not mine. They looked to belong to a dummy account, as the vast majority of the messages were Apple message, ie., Welcome to iLife, Welcome to MobileMe, etc.
There was one message, though, that had a tax document attached. I didn't open it, nor did I open any of the messages, but I did videotape it. When I hit the cloud and went back to the switch screen, I saw I was signed in still. I clicked on mail again and it was that same person's messages.
After about a half hour or so, the screen flashed again and my messages came back.
I did record the video with my iPhone, but when I called AppleCare, they didn't act as if they believed it.

This unit has access to my notes, and other information?
Это устройство имеет доступ к моим записям, и другой информации?

How can someone else have the same iCloud email address as me?

I registered for my iTools account as soon as they were offered and have had the same email address ever since.
My account has not been hacked and I regularly change my password for the account.
I frequently get emails from Apple notifying me that someone has attempted a password reset on my account.
I have over the past two years received a steady stream of emails correctly addressed to me, but obviously meant for other folks.
Some in the US and others in Europe and beyond.
The emails contain payslips, mortgage offers, confirmation of appointments for restaurants and car servicing.
Having read these and many other forums, I believe Apple, like Google allow the use of the same email address by multiple people.
This may be because even if the desired mac.com or iCloud.com or me.com addresses are unavailable, Apple allows an alias to be created.
This should not be the case. At least to my mind it should not be so.
I am most concerned that if I am able to receive their emails, they may be receiving mine.
I pay for Apple's services and expect them to be secure.
Anyone else feeling uneasy about this?

It's most unlikely that anyone else has your address: if your address (obviously don't post it here) uses a fairly common name as many of the early ones do, then you are liable to get idiots coming to the conclusion that they own it because their name is the same. They give it out, and you get their messages. It sounds insane, but it does happen quite a bit - people can be quite incredibly stupid.
It's unlikely that anyone is receiving your email, particularly as you've changed the password. You should contact Apple as even if it's the case I've described it counts as a security issue, though it's not that easy to see what can be done about it.
This Apple Help page provides contact information for various countries for security problems with an Apple ID:

HT4061 Someone else is using my iCloud email address. Can't change my apple ID password.

Someone has used my 'me' account to request registrations with companies in the uk. I tried to change my apple ID password, but me birthdate was not accepted . What do I do? This has been occurring through iCloud, so I've turned off my mail and contacts in iCloud.

Change the password for the account

TS3367 Since updating to the new operating system I have had some issues with FaceTime. When calling my Dad through FaceTime I have gotten someone else using my Dad's email. This has happened on at least 4 occasions. Has anybody else had this problem?

Has anyone had an issue contacting someone through FaceTime? Sometimes when I try to call my Dad I get a different party ( someone I don' t know). This has happened when calling fro IPad (3) And IPhone 5s.

In the terminal I go to /volumes/some_folder/test and I type "chmod 4711 test" so that the C++ program will be run as the admin account I'm logged in with. This admin account has privileges to create folders in /volumes/some_folder/test.
I vaguely recall something about this - isn't it related to the execution of setuid scripts?
There's a whole discussion on the security implications of doing this. It's generally not considered safe.
It might be worth reading http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/suexec.html for details of how to implement setuid within Apache.

Online number already used by someone else

Hello, I am in New Zealand. I purchased an online number and when I did a test call, I realised it is assigned to someone else who previously used skype but has now transferred it to another SIP service. Can anyone help?

Let me guess, no one answered to you? I have the same problem, no answer....

Viewing someone else's photostream on a Windows PC.

I received an email invitation to someone else's photostream. The email is in my work Outlook email. I have tried everything to figure out how to view the photostream on my windows pc with no success. Support online says I can use icloud control panel, but I see nothing there. Any ideas?

Do you have an Apple ID setup as an iCloud account?
See iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:…
PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
Further down it says:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
(So they can enable Public Website viewing to allow you to see them with a browser even if you don't have an iCloud account.)
See also Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Which states you must setup your Apple ID as an iCloud account on a Mac or iOS device.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
Does that work for you?

Bought Skype Number, but goes to someone else?

I just got assigned a skype number, and I sent an SMS to it to verify it was working. Instead of receiving it somewhere in my Skype account, someone responds asking who I am.
Apparently Skype sold me a phone number that's in use by someone else already? What the hell, and how do I resolve this?

Hi, Aeturnus, and welcome to the Community,
Skype Numbers cannot receive SMS messages ...
