Strange email addresses during setup

Hi all,
Have a question that has stumped both Apple and Verizon representatives. I received my iPhone 6 plus today, and at a point during setup it asks me for my iCloud ID and password. After accepting that, it takes me to the screen asking which backup to use. After selecting the most recent (or any for that matter) it took me to a screen asking for the password associated to a completely random and strange e-mail address I have never seen. The Apple repeesentative finally told me to skip this step. I agreed, and when taken to the next step it again asked me for the password to the email address associated with purchases except it was a different strange email. I once more skipped, only to see another e-mail that I have no knowledge on and do not know anyone associated with it. Both Apple suggestions do not appear to be viable, as I never back up or sync from other computers and I haven't added any other emails to my account. I toyed with the idea that maybe I had received a floor model, but I don't think that's the case as it arrived in the original, plastic wrapped package. I realize this was long-winded, just wondering if anyone had any ideas on the cause. I searched and didn't find anything remotely related, which makes this even stranger. thanks in advance to anyone who might have a suggestion.

If you are on WiFi only then it should not cost anything...BB10 devices are capable of all data-level services via WiFi only. However, what is not controllable is what actually happens when you are traveling. For example, if you leave your Mobile Network running for roaming voice services, then there is of course some possibility that something will traverse that network instead of the WiFi network (out of range, for example). But, of you are really concerned, one way to be certain would be to keep all Data Services off while you are strictly in voice mode (e.g., not near any WiFi). When you are on WiFi, turn your Mobile Network services off and turn on Data Services. That way, you can be sure that no data services will ever traverse the Mobile Network.
However, that may be overkill...but there is no way for us to know what your carrier nor the carrier on which you are roaming might or might not do.
Good luck!

Strange email address while restoring from iCloud!

Hey
I am restoring my data from iCloud to my new iPhone 5S but while I am restoring they tell me to enter the password for emails idk and when I click cancel they show me another email address until I reach to mine.
what's happening? and why I am seeing like 4-5 emails adresses before I reach mine?
Thanks!

Thanks for ur reply
My problem is when I am restoring from iCloud and when they ask me to enter my password they ask me to enter the password for email I don't know and when I click skip I see another strange email until I reach to my email and enter my password to start syncing my data from iCloud. So I mean that why they are showing me strange emails addresses that I don't know and I have to write their password so from where did that email address come?

Apple ID isn't same as iCloud email address - Outlook setup

My Apple ID is a comcast.net email address. How do I get my iCloud (me.com) email set up in Outlook 2007? I've tried setting it up manually using both my Apple ID and my iCloud email address, and both have failed to authorize.
Thanks!

Where are you trying to amend your username?
It should be done at http://appleid.apple.com/

Found strange email address using my apple account for iMessage

Upon upgrading my iOS devices, I found a strange email account was using my apple id account for iMessage

Thanks Demo!
I know that last sentence makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. I was dozing off when I made this post. What I was trying to say was: "The frustration of not being able to uniquely identify which device is being used is driving me to drink!" Ha Ha
Thanks again for your input!

Strange email address associated with my apple id?

A few months ago I got an iphone5c to replace my iphone 4. I hadnt bought credit for itunes until a few days ago. This morning I tried to purchase an album but it said because this was my first time buying anything from the device I needed to prove I was the owner of my apple id by answering security questions, only I couldnt remember the answers from when I made the account so I went to change them. However they sent the vertification email to an email account I've never heard of! I didnt have a rescue email so i added one to see if i could send it to that but it was the same unknown address. I have no idea why the address is associated with my account, and i cant even contact it because most of the name is hidden. can i change the address? why is it associated with my account?

Hi Did you buy iPhone new or used it is locked to Another unknown Apple ID You need to get your money back if its locked to other id You cannot use . Cheers Brian

Why does iphone 5 not accept my email password during setup?

I try to set up my email account in my iphone 5 using my yahoo password but it keeps coming back to enter password

Considering it is happening on all your devices it's likely an issue at the server end. Contact your Email Service Provider.

Hello Christine,
Report it to Apple as phishing. Then delete it. I think it is a potential scam.

I'll be happy to help you set up ePrint for your printer.
I just have a few questions for you: first, is the printer connected to your network? If so, have you enabled Web Services?
Both of these factors will determine what we do from this point.

How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

Hi,
When you get an email ids from the third party vendor and you are loading into CRM BP master data. how to delete the duplicate email address already exits in the system. In CRM you can create the same BP with different id. I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data.
If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
thanks,
arul

Hello Arul,
welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.

Will iMessage deliver to recipients iMessage through email address if their phone off etc..?

Most discussions keep saying it will revert to SMS but that is only when iMessage is sent to cell #. With email method it just sits not showing delivered message.
Will it deliver once they turn on their phone or come into range or should I delete it and just try sending it later?
Also my friend has read receipts on and all along we were texting (iMessage ) by cell#. Then one day she sent by the email address instead. I get those read receipts but suddenly if I imessge to her cell# I never get the read receipt eventhough it shows delivered. I don't think she ever got the message to her. Cell#. That method of imessaging her used to work like a charm.
I find with the iMessages to email address , during instant chat it will take 10 min for me to get her message after seeing the three typing dots.
Any explanations for these issues?

correction... it is 'receive at'.. not 'receive from'..

I changed emails. My user ID will not let me get into my phone to do any updates, but the user id is associated with an email address that no longer exists

What a mess the Apple ID, and associating emails, ID etc has got itself in
I have a new iPad but after 2 days of trying all sorts still can't sync it because it is says it is associated to the other via the iCloud
I can't use my alternate email address to setup a new Apple ID account as it says it's already used or associated, but I haven't knowingly done anything
One message says "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
I am at a complete loss on what to do

If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up. Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID. If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

Why are my iMessages coming up as my email address?

So starting about 2-3 months ago, I have been sending iMessages to people from my phone whom I have sent them before and know I am an existing contact in their phone. Suddenly I started to get the same reply from most of them: "Who is this?" Of course, I identified myself and people responed "Why is it coming up as a strange email address?" I would ask if it was coming up with my apple ID, which is was.
So why is this happening? I did upgrade from a iPhone 4 to a iPhone 5, but I know that wasn't the cause, because one of them was a coworker who started long after I got my 5. I didn't do anything different that I know of, and it has happened before and after iOS 7.X. It has becoming very annoying, especially when it is to my boss, whom I usually don't text, and he hasn't added my personal email address to his contacts.
I do have an iPad Mini; however, I have messaging disabled on it.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks.
