My email is has someone else's name as the recipient, but with my address

I'm receiving email that has:
"To: "someone else's name" " (it shows my cousin's name, not mine)
Hovering over the name shows my correct email address.
My email acct preference has my name correct in the "Full Name"
This just started happening on it's own, I changed nothing.
It's all emails, even from sources I've been receivig eemails from for a long time.
Any ideas?

Great to hear, thanks!
Did she maybe use your Mac to send an eMail during a visit or such?

My New BT Mouse Has Someone Else's Name

This is kind of weird. A few months ago (March?) when the new 24" Macs came out, I ordered one on-line. At the same time, I ordered a BT mouse. I have had some periodic connection problems with the Mouse but for the past little while, all has been fine.
By chance, today, I clicked on the BT symbol up in the menu bar at the top of the screen and you are presented with a list of options "Turn BT Off - Discoverable" etc. Under "Devices" it says "danielmellili's mouse" and if I click on it that then takes me to the battery life and Disconnect and Open Mouse Preferences.
I could be wrong, but my name is not "danielmellili". This may be a stupid question, but does that mean that Apple sold me a refurbished mouse that someone had used and setup but then returned, and then was sold to me as a new mouse with my new computer? Or does it really not mean anything at all. What the heck is "danielmellili's mouse"? When I go into the mouse preferences, there is a field box for "Name" and it says "danielmellili's mouse". I would be pretty upset if they sold me a refurbished or returned mouse but sold it as new.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx

It certainly sounds like that mouse was once set up by someone else. You have a right to be suspicious. From your post it sounds like you got it directly from Apple online. If that's so I'd call the local Apple store for a Genius appointment and take it along. You should be able to get a new one from them if you are nice about it. If you got it from some other online source, well that's another story. Anything goes in that case. In any case you shouldn't sit on it for too long or you may have to live with it.

Outgoing mail from a pc has someone else's name attached

I have an apple id, my daughter attached her name to mine when she got her macbook. Now when I send outgoing emails from a pc through icloud, it shows her name as the sender, though it's my email address. When I signed in to set up my username on here, it showed her as the name attached to my email address. How do I fix this?

Go to appleid.apple.com and click "Manage your Account". Sign in, then you should be able to edit the name linked to your account.

TS1702 Remove someone else's name from the iBookstore login ?

How can remove some else's ID that appears in the login box when I try to download updates from the iBook store?

Settings > Store.
Tap the account name, sign out then sign back in.

I am totally frustrated by the fact that now i have gone to iCloud and after a few synchs, my contacts are all mixed up with the wrong information. For instance, my email and phone number comes up under someone else's name (a thousand contacts)

An icloud account is designed to be used by just one user. If you have given your ID or set up your account on someone else's device, then their data will be mingled with your or worse.

I don't have a signature set up, but did a little research. Someone posted that these will show up when I send an email to myself, but will not show up when sent to another person. I sent a test email to a friend to check for sure.

When i use IE9, i go to my emails and any pics in the mail open with the mail but with FF i have to download them is there a way to make the pics open in the mail, i set yahoo to load images automatically in the options menu this has had no effect, thanks

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >>

Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Has anyone else had problems since the latest itunes/ipod update?

since i got my ipod and itunes updated, ive had nothing but problems with my ipod. sometimes it freezes, and when i connect it to the computer its all of a sudden corrupted. Sometimes this happens when i connect it to my computer to charge, and gets stuck on the do not disconnect screen. Sometimes ill be listening to music or watching something on my ipod and itll turn off randomly for no reason, then the apple symbol will come on as if i turned the ipod on again. Right now my ipod is frozen on the do not disconnect screen, and i have no choice but to restore it, however it wont even show up on itunes when its frozen sometimes, like right now. Has anyone else had problems since the latest ipod update?

I've tried everything others have suggested without any luck.
Now I'm stuck with a 300 bucks mp3 jalopy.
My big question here is :
why aren't we hearing from apple? why aren't they saying something like "yeah we messed things up but be patient. we are trying our best to fix it..." ?
I was thinking to buy the macbook pro but now I'm afraid of the day things will get messy with that too.

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.

I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

Great, first post, sorry for the title. But to repeat it:
I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes). I only have ftp access to the site server. Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
All of this you can do with FTP
