My email outgoing all appears with the wrong address, so it appears to be from my husband , not from me

When I send email to any one, I click on the the "from" box so it is from me.But when it is received it says it it from the other email address account on my computer, i.e from my husband

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

    If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.

  • How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail with the wrong address?

    How can I resend an IPhoto e-mail that was returned because of an error I made in the address?

    ImagineThat:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There is a 3rd party application, pdf-RecoverPro, that will let you lock the file to printing, changing, etc. You set two passwords, one to let the user view it and one to unlock the restricted features. Just provide the first password and send the file. You can try the demo version. It just saves one page in demo mode.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    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.

  • Mail (Mavericks) replies with the wrong email address

    Currently using Mavericks, 10.9.5, on my MacBook Pro (15", early 2011 version), and the default Mail app.
    I belong to a fair number of email discussion groups, most specifically with Yahoo! Groups, and I've set up a specific account and email address for use with that service.  I also have currently setup several other email addresses within Mail, all seven of them are POP3 accounts.
    Yahoo! requires me to send email to the group from the address that is registered, but Mail doesn't use the correct email address as the default when I reply to the posts despite the fact that the original message was sent to the correct account.  Mail uses the email address from the account that's at the top of the Inbox listing for the address, not the one I want used.  I usually find out that messages sent were on the incorrect address when I get the bounce back from Yahoo! indicating I sent from the wrong address.  Digging through the sent items, setting the address correctly and resending fixes the original fault, but my iPhone (all versions of iOS 6, 7 and 8) replies correctly, but Mavericks Mail does not.
    Has anyone else had this happen to them, and was the upgrade to Yosemite the fix?  Or is it still broken there?
    TIA,
    Jon

    Open Mail preferences and select the Composing tab. Check the Send New Messages From box and see what is selected. Either select an account to send from as default or select Account of selected mailbox.
    Also open the Accounts tab and check the outgoing server for the account. Be sure you have the correct SMTP server set for that account and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do the same for all accounts making sure you have the correct server for each account. If there is a problem with that server, you will get a pop up asking to select a different server in the event of a failure. Otherwise, if that box is not checked, it will just select another server if there is a problem with the one for that account. That could be your problem.
    Send a test message to verify that. You can also reorder the mailboxes under the inbox by dragging each to the order you want. Depending on the settings in preferences, either the highlighted account will be the sending account or the default address you set in the list. Replies should always come from the address that was sent too.

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • In Mail - emails arrive with the wrong name?

    I am receiving emails both in general and from FaceBook with the wrong name as the sender.  Today I received an email from "Jerri" and the name shown was "Marilyn".  I also receive all my FB emails from 'Dina'  and they are from all kinds of different people.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.10.2.  I looked on FB to find an answer, but can't find anything, but it must be with Mail, as the emails arrive from anyone direct (not from FB) and they are wrong.  I did just rebuild Mail, but the same wrong names are there.
    Thanks anyone, Cheryl

    It is an excellent question .. it used to happen when I ran my first Mac on snow leopard but I have never pursued the reason until I saw your question.
    Here is a useful reference.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55416/my-mac-minis-computer-name-keeps- changing-when-it-resumes-from-sleep
    Something is faulty in the main router. That it is a TC is no surprise really.. they are far from being great routers.
    Of course if this didn't happen on previous OS but is now happening since you moved to Yosemite.. well you know where the blame lies.. although how Yosemite is affecting it I don't know.
    Since I moved everything to Asus router I no longer have the problem. But my Mac was up to (5) and I thought this is getting ridiculous.
    Let me copy and paste the answer and kudos to the guy who posted it.. Jon not me.
    I've seen this happen when the local DNS server has DNS caching enabled, but doesn't flush the cache often enough (or at all).
    You can set your Host Name/Computer Name to a static value using scutil in Terminal. This means that your Mac will no longer change it's name automatically, so it's important that there are no other machines on your network that actually have that hostname. When you run this, replace "new_hostname" with your desired hostname:
    sudo scutil –-set HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set ComputerName new_hostname
    You can check to make sure the values are set by running:
    sudo scutil –-get HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get ComputerName new_hostname
    When you do this you might keep getting errors that another computer of the same name is on the network.. just reboot the TC to clear the DNS cache.
    Or if that doesn't work you will need to clear the cache from the local computer.

    i have an i phone 4 and it has been set up with the wrong email address. How can I rest the email address?

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

    Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

    That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

  • My music pictures are with the wrong songs, how do I fix that?

    I plugged my iPhone and iPod into my computer to update my music and when I unplugged them all the music pictures were with the wrong songs. I've tried shutting them off and restarting them but it doesn't fix the problem, any ideas?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
      - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • DM Syncs Appointmen​ts with the Wrong Times

    I have seen numerous posts in the forums about my problem. However, there is always a general statement of "I have never seen this" that is included with any technical support. I know there are numerous others who have the same problem. There are dozens in my company alone.
    When I use Desktop Manager versions 4.2.2, 4.5, 4.6, or 4.7 to sync with an Outook 2007 calendar to either a Blackberry 8830WE or 9530 Storm from Verizion, many of the calendar appointments are sync'd with the wrong time. It seems to be isolated to reoccuring appointments and especially those planned by others that I have accepted. The offset is not consistent. It ranges between 3 and 6 hours, but there are always sync'd too early. My reoccuring 8am appointment shows up at 3am right now!
    All of the time zones are correct and the same on all devices and in all software. This is a frustating and yet rampant problem. 
    I am using Google Calendar wireless sync to get around my problem, but it is simply a work around. I would prefer the BB software work correctly. It is troublesome to have to do this. I had a Motorola Q before, and I have had no problems with the same Outlook and Windows install.
    PLEASE HELP!

    OK, I'll admit I'm a newbee, but I have been dealing with this issue since getting my Storm approx. 2 months ago and it's driving me nuts!  I've been through as many posts as I can find and have turned off 'update device time' in DM and made sure all my times and time zones are set correctly in Outlook and BB... I work for a US company and live in the UK, so I am constantly getting appointments with US TZ settings.  At first they appear to be handled correctly and appear at the correct UK time and TZ in my Outlook and BB calendars.  HOWEVER, when I sync with DM somewhere along the line the TZ (and actual timing of the meetings) is getting adjusted to the local time/TZ. 
    As an example - I receive a meeting that was natively created for 09:30 Mountain time (GMT-7).  I accept this in my local Outlook an it appears correctly.  When I sync with DM, however, it gets changed to a 16:30 start and GMT TZ.  When I sync again, DM indicates a change to the appointment and forces an update in Outlook - after which the meeting appears in Outlook with a 16:30 start and GMT TZ.
    Now, in absolute terms this is OK since the 'local' time of the meeting start is the same with both combinations.  But things get completely screwed up when the originator changes the meeting time - causing it to shift all over the place.  This is futher complicated since I travel to Europe (and the US) on a regular basis and am thus changing TZs often.
    Since the BB calendar allows you to associate a TZ with a meeting when you enter it in the device, WHY does a DM sync result in a forced change in meeting time / TZ and not use the original meeting's?? 
    Surely this is a BUG? Surely DM should not be messing with these attributes at all??
