Icloud mail inbox has mail for someone else ?

Dear Folks
I don't know if anyone has encountered this problem, if you have then you can maybe advise.
I signed into icloud on the mac, checked the email section. in the email inbox there were three emails
none of them were addressed to me. Two of them had my address listed as "[email protected]" ( replace the ... with numbers)
the otherone was listed for someone else completely.
Is this a spam issue, is this a tech problem.
Answers will be greatfully received.

It's spam, sent by the 'hidden mailing list' method. Basically, if you want to send to a list of people but you don't want them all to see the other people in the list, you put the list in the Bcc (blind carbon copy) field and one address in the To field. This means that everyone who receives it only sees it as being to the address in the 'To' field.
(I love 'carbon copy' - I don't suppose anyone has used carbon paper for thirty years.)
Assuming the contents are spam, just bin and ignore, and don't worry about it.

  • Is there a way to check my iCloud mail from someone else's iPad?

    I understand the marketing behind encourage synchronizing accounts upon initial attempt to access the iCloud site from an iOS device. However, the issue I am having is when I want to use my SO's iPad "ruhl quick lyke" to access my e-mail and instead of opening iCloud.com and getting asked for my e-mail, I am asked to register iCloud on my device. All I want is a login screen. I do not want to sync my mail to his device, and I'm guessing he must not want to sync his apple ID as he has yet to do it. So my question is 1) is there a way for me to bypass the iPad_welcome site and login without syncing, and 2) if he choses to sync if I will be able to access my icloud from his device. Thank you sincerely.

    Seriously? Not really sure what else to say. Doesn't Apple have any user experience experts? Or are they all 22 year old programmers who never, ever, put down their company-supplied iPhones?

  • HT1373 Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else?

    Is it possible to transfer songs on iPod to a computer that already has an iTunes profile for someone else? I recently had my laptop stolen so I no longer have iTunes backed up on a computer.

    Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?

  • Cannot access the iCloud mail for some reason I don´t know. Worked perfect until Nov 28th, but a message with "incorrect ID/password" popped up. Contacts and iCal is accessible. Have tried from iPad, Mac, iPhone and PC. Any recommendations?

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

    When updating my iphone 4 it had to be connected to itunes. As there is 2 other phones on the same itunes account my phone has picked up someone else's icloud login and i can not use the app store. how can i remove this?

    Hello lesley142
    To sign out of what ever Apple ID is signed in, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then tap the Apple ID and you will see an option to sign out.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • X220 LCD Rear Cover, Lenovo denies the warranty, although it was covered for someone else.

    Hi,
    I have been having EXACTLY the same issue as in this post:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-Plastic-strip-loose-no-warranty/td-p/7249...
    here are some images of my laptop:

    Here is my story below,
    I left my X220 ( which is just 4 months old) at PERCOM (A Lenovo Partner) in Munich, because of the same reason ( plastic cover loose) and 1 other issue. They took the machine and sent it to the manufacturer and had it tested there and concluded that it was my fault, although I am pretty much sure I have not caused this issue. Besides, PERCOM charges me 100€ to get my laptop back and their reason is that they had to spend time on the device because the defects were mechanical damages by user ( that they claim, but its absolutely not true. )
    So i need your consultation from now on, what could you suggest me to do? They want me to pay them 100€, although I do not have it repaired ( and although I am sure it is a manufactural issue ). I have contacted some magazines already that this is not legitimate and have been waiting for their response.
    I still do not understand how Lenovo can deny the same issue that has been resolved for someone else. Please help.
    what do you suggest me to do from now on?

    Hi eduedix,
    Sorry to read about your situation, why don't you follow dodger_NL's example, which you have read, and escalate the case by creating a complaint?  PERCOM should be able to do this for you or if you wish to you can do it yourself by calling service and quoting the current Call Nr. or your system's type and serial number.
    Out of interest, do you expect the magazines to repair your notebook before you've gone through the "appeals" complaints process or what?  I suggest you open a complaint, it will help you more than the magazines.

  • Getting calls for someone else

    We are getting calls for someone else who had our phone number before. Since verizon uses recycled numbers they want to charge us $22.00 to change our number for another recycled number. We should not have to pay for this since the problem on their end.  On the white pages.com also has their name under our number.  I feel they should change it at no charge since its not out problem plus it can happen next number they give us. So we are soppose keep verizon $22.00 until it stops.  I called Verizon twice about this issue and nothing was solved. when I asked them to speak to the supervisor they told me NO!

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks
    Pvtbear

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

    I will assume you mean Acrobat Standard XI.
    They can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use the serial number you purchased for them to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • HT5557 Is there a way to purchase itunes books for someone else as a gift (Christmas) and give them the codes without automatically downloading the purchase for me? Or is an itunes giftcard the only way to go?

    Is there a way to purchase itunes books for someone else as a gift (Christmas) and give them the codes or printout receiptwithout automatically downloading the purchase for me? Or is an itunes giftcard the only way to go?

    TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

  • HT1904 if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    if i purchased my device with my money is it legal for someone else to put on the parental controls?

    That is an interesting question.  If you are at the "age of majority", then why would you allow someone else to put restrictions on your device..  If it is a condition of your employer to use the device on their network services, then you allow it to use the device for their system.  If you are under the age of majority, and your parents are requiring it, sounds like the parents care.
