People keep registering for accounts with my email address with very offensive or spammy usernames. I know others are not able to see the email address associated with an account but I'm not very happy with this.
Aside from the uneasy feeling I get from this I'm also not very happy with all the Skype notifications and spam I get as a result.
I've already asked customer support to remove the other accounts a number of time. But in the last month two new accounts have popped up.
Do other people have this problem and is there a way to stop people from creating acounts with my email address?

I 'm sorry for U and your account, I just know that several unknown men have asked for a contact and I klicked them away as 'spam' and 'don't accept' (all is probably stolen ID's). The strange thing is I tried to block and give as little info/cookies/ updates as possible where ever I am, not showing picture for others than my contacts, don't use anything than the SKYPE phone and never had Facebook. HOW come they find my SKYPE profil and asking how I am??? SKYPE has 2 improve to make it more secure 4 us from these scammers before they've ruined its' reputation!

Suspected illegal use of email address

Dear Skype Admin, I had problem signing in into skype 2 days ago and I tried to reset my login password today. After providing my email address, I have used the emailed link received attempting to reset my password. At the reset password screen, I was told that there are 2 skype accounts that linked to my email address. I am the email account holder of [e-mail removed for privacy and security] and has used this email address to register a skype account patlim2006. Could you please verify if the skype ID "mypat_1973" is legitimately created with my email address "[e-mail removed for privacy and security]". Kindly advise how could this be happening? Thnak you and regards, Patrick Lim

Somebody else is using my email address as an appleid in other iphone, how can I stop them ?

Yesterday I received an email from Apple <[email protected]> requiring me to verify an apple ID with my email address; how can I prevent/stop somebody else from using my email as an ID??

You can't. Only the person that signed up for that Apple ID (using that email address as the name) and has the password to that Apple ID can modify that Apple ID house a different email account.
Nothing about your personal email account is at risk. It just means that someone probably made a typo (maybe they have a very similar email address to yours), and they never got the verification email. You did instead. No one at Apple can change that for you.
Again; only the person that has the password to that Apple ID can adjust the primary email address of that account.
How to reset your Apple ID password.
Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

How do i use existing email address for digital editions

how do i use existing email address for digital editions

Three possibilities.
1) If you already have an up to date Adobe account with associated email, you need to register it with ADE.
menu/Help/Authorize Computer (Library/Authorize Computer on the older more reliable v1.7.2).
2) If you already have an Adobe account/ID and have books that have been bought using it, then you should change the email associated with that account.
Login at the adobe.com website ('sign in' near top right), using the old email the account is currently associated with.
(Doesn't matter if this is no longer valid as an email address, it is still valid to access your Adobe account)
Choose 'My Information' on the 'Welcome' dropdown, enter your new email in the appropriate place, and confirm changes.
You will later need to validate that new email address by clicking on the confirmation email it will send.
Then follow step 1.
If you have an old account and the email is no longer valid and you've forgotten the password, try Adobe Live Chat to get access to the account again.
3) You need to create yourself a brand new account.
Click the 'sign in' and choose 'Dont' have an Adobe ID'.
Once you have established oe, go to step 1

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I need to set up an apple ID for my IPAD but my daughter was already using my email address for her itunes

I need to set up an apple id for my IPad but my daughter is using my email address to purchase music for her IPOD and IPhone. How can she delete her apple ID so that I can use my own email account?

Try getting a credit card from the same people who issued the debit card. If I read the home sharing paper properly after your set it up with the credit card you can change the payment method back to debit.

My Apple Id is not an email address but I've already used my email address for an ID many, many years ago. How do I delete it?

Is it possible to delete an old account I made so I can use that email address Apple ID as my new Apple ID for my currently email-less used Apple ID?
Then I can use iCloud.

You can keep your current ID for itunes store - that is a different account than icloud. Look here, there might be some useful info...
To create a new icloud account, go to

Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

Someone keeps trying or has been using my email address to sign up for all kinds of accounts. What can I do?

I have had this email address since apple offered family accounts for me.com. For the past 4 years, someone has been using my email to sign up for accounts. They have repeatedly tried to reset my password. I keep getting emails from companies. I have been very nice and responded back to personal emails telling them that they must have typed in the wrong address. I have emailed different companies asking them to delete any and all accounts using my email address for me.com or icloud.com. This person has even been using my email to use to turn in her homework on turnitin.com. I have asked them to please alert the school to let the person know that this is not their address and please not to use it. I have recently discovered that they are trying daily to reset my password. Is there anything I can do besides changing my email?

OMG, there is someone else who is experiencing this? I swear, I have used up all patience and trying to be kind when dealing with this.
I created my primary email account [email protected] a very long time ago. Of course, it morphed into [email protected] and most recently into [email protected]. This behavior occurs with all three variations, but most often with the "@me.com" address. In trying to understand the timeline, I figured it started occurring about the time of the iOS release 5.
I get approximately 10 account creation emails a week. Mine range from harmless to education to medical to ****. At one time I was getting as many as a hundred a week! I also send very politely worded emails to the companies explaining that someone tried to sign up with one of the variations of my emails and ask them to delete any or all accounts associated with them. Unless of course, they are ones that I want to keep.
The problem with telling companies to delete the accounts is that it is now sitting out there for someone to setup the account AGAIN. I have started simply requesting a new password or password reset, change the public facing data and leave it be. This will only work with accounts that require email validation, though. I have stumbled upon accounts while trying to create my own! Again, I simply change the public facing info and password and email. It then becomes mine. I've had a couple of accounts - a Disney site - that won't reset the password or delete the accounts because I can only validate the email address and none of the other account info! Sigh.
I have worked with Apple many times, sometimes for many hours trying to resolve this issue. Apple tends to be myopic and generally sticks with "someone just mistyped the email"... but it happens much too frequently for this to be true. I know it is a popular and coveted email address and perhaps people think they can force the company to recognize it as their own. I've also had requests for the Apple accounts to be reset.
Recently had an interesting chat on Apple's Messages with an 8 year old who swears that it is her friend's iChat account. She admonished me to be nicer if I was sharing it with her friend. I couldn't make her understand that her friend was incorrect in believing it was hers.
I see that you've written your message way back in February and I see no other follow ups. Have you been successful in making this stop?

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

Someone in France is using my email address for an Apple ID.

Just bought my first iPhone 24 hours ago. Tried to create an Apple ID. Someone in France is apparently using my email address for their own account. Whenever I try to redeem the code on an App Store card I just bought, a message pops up that I presume says I can't use the code in France. Then iTunes and the App Store revert to French settings. I can reset the language to Canadian english on my laptop, but iTunes and the App Store on my iPhone remain in French. I've tried resetting my iPhone, to no avail. Very frustrated because I only get email support, and have to wait 24 hours for a reply. When I looked at my account, there is someone else's personal information, including credit card info. WHY?????????????//

You'll probably have to contact iTunes store support to straighten this out. They deal with Apple ID issues all the time. You can contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
