Is it possible for someone to register with the same icloud account?

I have my dot Mac and dot me, and also icloud account for many years now. But just before 2013 ended, there was a notification from Facebook to my dot Mac mailbox to finish the registration process. That Facebook account was registered by a person in Germany using my icloud account.
I thought the person may have mistyped his/her email address for Facebook. I then followed the Facebook link from the email, went ahead with registration process, then changed passwords for that Facebook account and also for my icloud account. Then there were two more rounds of Facebook emails trying to ask me to confirm that I'm the original owner of the account.
I am not sure if this is an honest mistake made by a person with another icloud user. Or it was a mistake by Mac, given two persons the same email!! Or am I being hacked, since I also pay for annual icloud data storage.
Has anyone ever experienced similar problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community Athim.
Someone may have been trying to use your address either inadvertently or maliciously, it's also possible that Facebook is sending mail to a wrong address! but there can't be two Apple ID's with the same address.

  • I recently changed my password for my Apple ID and now I can't receive calls on my iPad or Mac.  All devices are signed on with the same iCloud account.  Anyone have the same issue?

    Hello!
    On all of these devices, go to: Settings > iCloud and make sure they're updated with the new password. If you're talking about Macs, go to: "System Preferences > iCloud" too.

    You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

  • If i delete an icloud account from my phone will it affect other devices with the same icloud account (apple id)?

    All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • How do I set up two phones with the same Icloud account

    I have 2 Iphones for my daughters and want to use the same Itunes account and Icloud account but when I set it up on the 2nd phone it uploaded the other phones contacts and the new phone is receiving the 1st phones text message.  do you have to set up a separate Icloud account to prevent this from happening?

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • How to delete all previous icloud data from current icloud after sighning in with the current icloud account

    so i sighned into someone elses device with the current icloud account and i sighned out. Some of the icloud data from the other device is now on mine. All i want to know is how to delete all the icloud data in my current icloud account from the other icloud account

    Hello ,
    I had the same problem and i have done everything manually.
    It's a shame that Apple doesn't put a "Reset to factory Settings" button or simply "Delete all data from iCloud.com". That way, it would be much simpler for everyone including myself.
    Winston Churchill is right unfortunately . Happy deleting !
    Kind Regards,

  • TS1474 Two iPhones sharing the same iTunes account - how do we create a new account for one of them now that both phones have been registered with the same account?

    We have recently upgraded 2 iPhones to the 4S and are having difficulties registering with the same log in and passwords in iTunes. 
    How can we re-register one of them with it's own identity and avoid the same apps being copied o both devices?
    We would like each iPhone to have it's own identity but use the same computer for backing up.

    Hi, you will need to set up a new user account on the computer. The iTunes on this new user will be empty but you can download past iTunes purchases from the iTunes store

  • HT5538 I have multiple Apple devices and my family all share one apple ID.  I know it is easy to obtain additional IDs but all devices are registered with the same Apple ID.  My questions is how do I set up my devices so that we can Facetime between devic

    I have multiple Apple devices using the same Apple ID for all devices.  I work in the Middle East and my wife is in Russia.  I would like to Facetime between my different devices.  Is this possible with all devices registered with the same Apple ID.  It is just easier for find my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and for purchasing Apps.  Is this possible and how do I set it up.

    Create Apple IDs for everyone individually and use that in Settings > Facetime, Settings > Messages, Settings > Game Center but keep the Apple ID used for app and content purchases in Settings > iTunes and App Stores

  • Is it possible for several users to share the same user ID and password?

    Is it possible for several iPlanet Calendar Server users to use the same user
    ID and password and to use the same calendar to make changes? If this sharing
    is possible, are there any limitations for multiple users updating the same
    record, and does any database locking take place?
    Yes, more than one person can use the same user ID and password and update the
    same record. The database code uses the First In First Out(FIFO) rule, where
    only one person updates a record at a given time. So, if two users are
    updating the same record, the changes made by the user who updates the record
    last will get written to the record.
    <P>
    If the deployment requirement specifies a shared calendar, where users do not
    have their own users IDs, you can set an appropriate Access Control List(ACL).
    It is also possible to make the calendar publicly writable.

    Hi matrixxzero,
    In my opinion, you want to use the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on both devices. That is exactly what iCloud is designed for - to keep devices with the same Apple ID in sync. Your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream photos, and Documents will all be kept in sync if you have those options set up on both devices under Settings>iCloud.
    Unless you have some reason to not want to have the same information on both devices, then going with a single ID on both is the way to go.
    Cheers,
