Someone is using my e-mail address for Apple ID

Hello
I have an e-mail address that I do not use to any Apple devices.
For about 1 week ago I received a mail in Italian saying this:
Dear G******* M******,
You entered gio**** @gmail.com as primary email address for your Apple ID. To complete the task, we have to verify that email address actually belongs to you. Click on the link below and sign into your account using your Apple ID and password.
Check now>
Why did you received this email?
This email is sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address in your Apple. If you have not made any changes do not worry. Your email address can not be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.
For more information, see the frequently asked questions .
Thank you,
Apple Customer Care
so the problem is that I'm in Greece and someone has put my e-mail address for their Apple ID in Italy...
What can I do?
The problem is that I ignored the e-mail thinkink that if I don't click the verification button noting will happen but instead today I received more than 10 e-mails saying the same thing...
What can I do to prevent these e-mails? and to make the person who is using my e-mail to change it?
Thank you in advance

I think you misunderstood me. I don't want an account. I only created one to write here. What I need is for itunes to contact this user and ask him to change his account. I can't believe how it's possible for someone to use my email as his.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I have this mail adress for 12 years and never had something like this before.

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

  • E-mail Address for APPLE ?

    Anyone have e-mail address for APPLE? This new update is awful. My phone jumps to random screens or apps, is WAY slower, freezes up, when I get to the screen I want it wont let me do anything(tried to make a call but phone was stuck on clear all recent . wouldnt let me hit cancel or delete. I had to text my wife to call me cause it wouldnt let me get off that screen on the phone icon.) It did fix that problem after a hard reboot but I lost all my recent calls! Why cant I delete individual calls like I do with texts?!?!?!? Wheww Feel a litle better now but still hate update.

    An iPhone reset is similar to a computer restart and does not affect any data or settings.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, there are two options. Restoring from a backup which is the default selection, or as a new iPhone or not from a backup. Either way, this must be followed by a sync to re-transfer all iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and 3rd party apps from your iTunes library on your computer.
    All iTunes content available on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer including 3rd party apps. When selecting restore, you are also prompted to update the iPhone's backup.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer so no contacts should be lost. Not a good idea to depend on the iPhone's backup or on the iPhone or on any cell phone alone for contact info, which can be lost or stolen. Contact info should be available on your computer.

  • TS2776 I can't find an e-mail address for Apple Support.  I spoke to an Apple Support Advisor named Barbara, on July 7th (over a month ago) and she said Apple was "working on my problem and would call back".  Help!!!!

    See above
    <Title Edited by Host>

    There is no email address for Apple Support, since Apple does not provide support via email (except for the iTunes Store). You will need to call Apple support and ask for further assistance.
    By the way, everyone here is just a fellow user, so posting any personal details here including case numbers is a bad idea.
    Regards.

  • Mailing address for apple?, Mailing address for apple?

    I called ipod support and they gave me a repair number but no mailing address. He said to just bring my ipod and the number to UPS. He also didn't mention bringing a box. Is it true that all I need is my ipod and the number? I think you'd need a box and address.

    They should be sending YOU a box with a return shipping label.  I am assuming you provided them with your address to send this information to?  If not, I would recommend contacting them again to clear this up.

  • Does anyone have an e-mail address for Apple customer service?

    I received some pretty bad customer service today, and I want to voice an opinion on it.

    If this occurred at an Apple Store your best bet is to contact the store's manager and discuss the situation.
    If it was an on-line or telephone transaction see the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page for information regarding contacting Apple.

  • How was someone using my e-mail address as their Apple ID?

    First time posting, so I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum.
    1) I have a primary e-mail adress that is not linked to my iTunes.  The only time this e-mail address was used in conjunction with anything Apple was when I purchased Quicktime Pro in 2006 and registered my iPod in 2007.  I do have an iTunes account with a seconday e-mail address, and log in occasionaly to listen to free podcasts (never purchasing anything)
    2) Today on my primary e-mail address, I recieved a warning that an app was downloaded, with this e-mail as the Apple ID.  This was the first e-mail I've recieved from Apple on this address since registering my iPod in 2007.
    I live alone, and don't share my electronics with anyone, so I know it's not that.  so I'm left wondering - how did someone use my e-mail address as an Apple ID?  Wouldn't I have recieved an e-mail during the initial registration this person tried to use? 
    Thankfully I have no credit card associated with Apple, so I wasn't overcharged, but this seems like a big security hole.

    The content was this:
    Your Apple ID, [my primary e-mail address] , was just used to download -KingdomConquest- from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
    If you initiated this download, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not initiate the download yourself.
    If you did not initiate this download, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
    Regards,
    Apple
    There is the possibility that I did change my iTunes account to my primary and just forgot, but that's doubtful considering a) today was my first e-mail from Apple since 2007 on this address and b) I'm still recieving iTunes updates on my secondary e-mail that I registered years ago. 
    Also, I don't own any devices capable of running Kingdom Conquest. Thankfully, it's a free app.  It would be interesting to see a list of other apps downloaded with this ID, if any.  Is there a way to do that?
    Maybe someone mistyped their email address when creating their account and it just happened to be yours?
    I thought that, too, but my e-mail address is [email protected]  My first name is somewhat common, my last name is definitely not.  And back to what I said earlier, I never recieved a registration e-mail from Apple, just the one above.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT201342 Hello, I have an Apple-iCloud account and have used one e-Mail address with that account. I want to add another address for my wife. How do I do it? Thanks

    Hello, I have an Apple-iCloud account and have used one e-Mail address. I would like to add another address for my wife on same account. How do I do it?

    Hey there Raul,
    It sounds like you have an iCloud account, and want to create one for your wife using the same iCloud account. You can do this with an iCloud Alias, and this article will help you do that. Keep in mind that any and all purchases made with the alias will not be transferrable or merged with another account if she wants to have her own account down the road.

    Hi ShantellePhilips,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.

  • Will setting up an iCloud e-mail address for Notes change my Apple ID

    I am looking to synch Notes on my Mac, iPad and iPhone and apparently need to create a separate e-mail address for iCloud just for Notes. I currently use my Apple ID to log into my iCloud account and since this is an AOL e-mail address cannot be used for Notes. I am concerned that this additional e-mail address will somehow become the default for more than just Notes and cause me problems. Can someone provide some insight?

    In order to sync notes with iCloud you have to create an iCloud email account because it uses the email IMAP service to sync notes.  You don't have to actually use the email account for email but it does have to be created in order to sync notes.  You can just create the @icloud.com address and forget about it.  After it's created, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and make sure your AOL account is still selected as your default.  (If it isn't, tap it to select it).  It won't cause any other problems.
