Someone else has my email address?

I am receiving emails from myself, or at least from someone with the identical email address as myself, how is that possible?
I have opened the "From" email and it is identical to mine, admittedly the subject and content is SPAM but fearful they have use of my account after 30 years of no problems, plus I have a really tricky password that would be oober difficult to replicate or guess at?

kensington it is nothing to worry about, i get the same happening regularly, there is nothing you can do about it, as someone says spammers can get a hold of email addresses and they can change the from title to suit your address

Someone else using my email address

I have just found out someone else is using my email address as there primary skype one. I have managed to log into their skype account but can't delete the email address as its listed as the primary one - I found out about this as I was getting skype emails which weren't releveant to my personal skype account. Suggestions? It doesn't look like an account that is used very often but I still don't wany my email associated with them for obvious reasons!

I think Skype doesn't send verification emails when creating an account, so anyone can register an account using anyone's email address, as well as non-existing ones). You can contact customer service to report that unknown account, and to request to unlink your email address from that unknown account.

HT4436 If someone else has set up an ICloud account (that uses his name in the email address) using my Apple ID, do I have to change my Apple ID to open an account with my name in the email address?

If someone else has set up an ICloud account using my email address and Apple ID but has chosen his name for the mail name, can I get rid of his name in the [email protected] and put mine in there? Or do I have to set up a whole new acount with a new Apple ID? Will I be able to do that with his name already linked to my email address?

How did he manage to do this? - he would have to have known your password if he was using an existing Apple ID. You should change it immediately to something strong and unguessable. That will prevent him accessing the account or using the email he has set up (assuming he hasn't changed the password and locked you out).
You can't change the primary @icloud.com address once set up, though you can create additional addresses as email aliases: if he's given this address out you will get his emails but you could set up a Rule to trash them.
You might to better to create a new ID and iCloud account anyway. To do this you wil need a different non-Apple email address (you could use a free GMail one); or you have the option in the iCloud prefs pane to choose an @icloud.com address and make that the ID.

My iphone5 has been hacked, so every message I get in Outlook is addressed to a Fatima Quedas, who is on my list of contacts and has two email addresses, one on gmail and the other my own. I deleted the contact. What else should I do?

change your email passwords.

Can I see if someone else has accessed my account?

Im writing this out for a second time because I lost the first one. Long story short I have a friend who knows loadsof my passwords including skype, I am cool with it and I dont really want to change them. But I am kind of paranoid about them accessing my messages like skype and email and facebook and wanted to know if skype tells you if someone else has logged into your account from a different IP or something or if someone is logged in at the same time as you on another computer and sending messages and stuff. Like Facebook tells you when you log in if someone has been on your account from another ip address.
Thank you.

Hi, RoHamster, and welcome to the Community,
To check if your Skype account is signed on simultaneously on another device (where, not who is using your account), type this chat command in any open instant message chat:
/showplaces
Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
To force a sign-out, type this chat command:
/remotelogout
Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
From a safety and security standpoint, I would strongly recommend you reconsider allowing anyone to have a list of your account passwords. I recommend you start changing all of them, and the sooner, the better.
Regards,
Elaine

How to set up myself as family share organizer with my own Apple id when someone else has gotten a new phone and used my Apple ID on it and set up family share for themselves?

its my Apple ID and it's basically been hijacked on a device I dont own and someone else has been set up as family share organizer in my own Apple ID and I can't seem to do anything about it.

You really need to get the apple id straightened out before you start, or you will pay the price forever!   You have a couple of options. I assume your dad is cooperating with this project. I think you are probably right about using his apple account.
Make sure you have established the second e mail address and that to works.
Log onto apple.com, and in the upper right, log into the account. Once in the accout, click on the area where you can change you data, and add the second email address.    Apple wil verify the adress by send it an e mail, and won't do anything further until you respond to an e mail sent to that address, so watch for it.
After the address is verified, on your accout page, make that address your primary address contact from apple. That way if apple sends confirmations for apps and things, they will go to the new address, and your mom won't see them. Then set the pad up using the same aple Id as your dad. Remember, you have not changed the apple id or the password, you have only changed the e mail address for contact.   ( you can change it back after the surprise)
The other suggestion... I have given a coule of pads to folks, and one of the real fun parts for them and for you is o
Ending the box, and doing the set up. It is a great way for them to learn enough to use it. Press the buttons etc. pick their own apps. You can gift her all the apps you want, and she can learn how to download them herself.
I gave a pad to mom in law, and did pretty much what you are planning, and at the end of the day, having it all set when she openied it made it harder for her to learn, rather than easier.
But you are doing a god thing, and I am sure she will enjoy the pad.

When I requested a new password the e-mail was sent to the old address then the new owner of that address entered their info and I no longer have access to it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

My original apple id is not an email address . I bought iCloud memory via that same account no problem. When setting up iCloud on iPad you cannot have a primary iCloud account unless it has an email address . Made new account but can you change originalI'

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean the "From: saaacq <[email protected]>" and "CC: [email protected]" have the same address?
Do we have some Transport Rules applied?
Please run following command to verify whether we have some Transport Rules:

Do other users in our org have this issue?
How about the mailflow to internet? If all of the users in our org cannot send to internet, please verify the Send Connector Configuration on Exchange Server 2013.

HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

HT1212 Someone else has put a password on my phone. I have read all the restoring or backing up methods but when I go to do those it says to turn off find my iPhone in my setting. If I cant unlock my phone I obviously can't turn this off. Help

If you have a lock code, how did someone change the apple ID for "find my phone?" You should go by the apple store and let them help you.

I have synced two devices in FF. Is it possible to know which computers are synced using? I am worried about someone figuring out my email address and password.

HI nilhanw,
No currently there is not manage devices, only manage device. However changing the password will change the certificates on all the devices within less of an hour.
I hope this helps.
