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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

    The title says it all.
    Some background info:
    1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015.  The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
    2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
    What happened;
    1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio.  It had the leather Apple case on it.  Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
    2. Phone responds to touch, but not property.  I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
    3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
    4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
    5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
    What I have done:
    1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
    2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
    3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
    4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
    5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
    Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever.  The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly.  This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
    Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
    I really hope someone here has some insight.
    Thank you.

    The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

  • Server rejects outgoing mail from PC's but will send mail from Macs

    I am having a strange problem with outgoing mail all my mail clients are pointed to the server as smtp server. All mail from Macs are delivered without any problems but mail from PC's are universally rejected and I can't understand why. I did not have this problem with 10.4.11 and we do not authenticate. Here is the reject message:-
    +Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.+
    +Subject: hello 16:34+
    +Sent: 26/08/2010 16:34+
    +The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:+
    +'user@cp-lighting..*' on 26/08/2010 16:34+
    +504 5.5.2 <PHILSPC>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname+

    This should help:
    http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/145/84/
    Will work without authentication as long as your network range has been entered into the postfix settings.
    That said, you should require all your clients to authenticate to send through your server.

  • Why is Outgoing mail from my iPad not appearing in Outlook 2010?

    I have set my iPad to synch with my gmail account.  In turn my gmail account downlaods and synchs with Outlook 2010 on my Windows 7 PS.
    Everything works except that when I send mail from my iPad or reply to incoming mail from my iPad, my replies, whilst synchronising with my gmail account, and showing in the Sent folder in gmail, do not download to Outlook. 
    If I log into gmail (from my email or via Safari) and send mail direct from gmail these messagesshow in the Sent box and DO show in iPad gmail outbox and Outlook, though they show in the Outlook inbox!
    So the only mail that gets stuck in gmail and won't download to Outlook is outgoing mail sent from gmail in my iPad. 
    I can work around this by sending a bcc to myself of every outgoing message I send from iPad.  In this case the Send copy shows up in the Sent folder in gmail and does not download to Outleook but the bcc copy arrives in nthe Inbox in gmail and does download to Outlook.  Its ugly but works.
    A proper fix would be better - does anyone have any ideas?

    For Exchange GMail there is a way to set your iOS device to use a different "Send As" name than when using a computer.  Unfortunately in your case, you can set your computer to send an alternate name but the iOS device can only send the default GMail name, which is the name associated with your account.  Ideally, you would like your iOS device to use the alternate and let your computer use the default.
    But if you want to play around with this ...
    1- On the iOS device itself, use Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync.  You will have to log in at the prompt with your GMail account info.
    2- Select the iOS device name (in case you have multiple iOS devices using Google sync).
    3- Select "Enable 'Send Mail As' for this device" and Save the changes.
    4- Using a computer, log into your GMail account and select Settings/ Accounts and Import, then at the "Send mail as" prompt select "edit info" (off to the right).
    5- Change your outgoing name.
    The name you specify in #5 will be used by your computer, but the iOS device will continue using the original (default) outgoing name.  You can see why you need the opposite in your case, so unless you can change the default to be your wife's name and then set the alternate to be your name, I think you're out of luck.

  • Is it safe to disable outgoing mail from one of my accounts?I

    I have two e-mail accounts, but want to eventually stop using one of the accounts and use my gmail account full time.
    Sometimes when I send e-mail it will use my old e-mail address as the sending address. I want to cease using the old e-mail address to send mail so it will decrease people replying to and using the old address.
    How can I stop that address from being used for outgoing mails? Can I change to "None" for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), or will that create problems for me?

    Hi & welcome to the forums!
    See if this from Mail>Help... helps...
    "Setting the account your email is sent from
    If you have multiple email accounts, *you can choose to send all messages from the same account*, or you can select a different account for each message you send.
    To choose an account from which to send all messages, choose Mail > Preferences. Click Composing and choose the account from the "Send new mail from" pop-up menu. By default, messages are sent from the account of the last viewed mailbox.
    To choose an account for a message you're composing, click the Account pop-up menu and choose an account.
    If the Account pop-up menu is not displayed, click the Customize Header pop-up menu in the header area and choose Customize. Select the checkbox next to Account and then click OK.
    To change the order in which accounts are listed in the mailbox list, drag the account mailboxes into the order you want in your Inbox. You can also rearrange the account order in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences."
